Definitions
- This invention relates to a mobile telephone device with an idle screen.
- the term 'mobile telephone device' refers to any kind of small screen (e.g. A5 size or less) portable electronic device with voice communications capabilities, including radio telephones, smart phones, communicators and wireless information devices.
- the term 'idle screen' refers to the default screen displayed when the mobile telephone device is switched on and therefore capable of receiving a voice call.
- the idle screen is the screen which is displayed when the user is not navigating to a particular function, nor actively using a particular application, such as a contacts application, or a messaging application. Personal computers have no equivalent to an idle screen.
- the small display size i.e. under A5 size
- the interface can be thought of as having many layers, with the user having to first locate the correct top level function and then, within that function, progressively drill down (sometimes through 3 or more layers) to reach the target function.
- the user has to select an appropriate option to actually complete the required task. Navigating through multiple levels and performing numerous selections of various options can be both confusing and tedious for a user; often used functions can be rendered inconveniently inaccessible.
- Reading WAP information on a mobile telephone device typically involves however the following multi-stage navigation process: (i) turn the client device on; (ii) view an idle screen; (iii) navigate from the idle screen to open the appropriate application (e.g. a micro-browser); (iv) select the required resource (e.g. open a particular WAP page); (v) enter a password and username; (vi) select the required information; (vii) wait for the download; and finally (v ⁇ i) view the required information.
- This process is sufficiently slow and complicated to be unattractive to many users, especially the non-computer literate users to whom mobile telephone devices are particularly aimed.
- an effective user interface enables the user to comprehend the changing internal status of the mobile telephone device as navigation proceeds. For example, to select or initiate a function (e.g. to open an address book function, enter a PIN security number or to alter the ring melody) a user has to understand (a) how to navigate to that function in order to select that function and (b) that the status of the telephone is such that the function can be selected or initiated.
- a function e.g. to open an address book function, enter a PIN security number or to alter the ring melody
- the technical problem of effectively enabling the internal state of the mobile telephone device to enable a user to view information from a remote resource without having to perform multiple navigation steps has to date been inadequately addressed.
- a mobile telephone device the device being adapted to display, as part or all of an idle screen, updated information which is (a) defined by a user of the device to be of a kind which is of interest to him or her and is (b) supplied to the device from a remote information resource.
- the fundamental insight of this invention is to use the idle screen of the mobile telephone device to show updated information obtained from a remote information source, in which the information is of a kind selected by the user (and not by an advertiser or network operator, as in the closest prior art).
- the information can be content such as financial information, news, traffic etc pushed from the network operator.
- the information may also be from a resource selected by a user (e.g. from a particular internet portal which the user selects; specific kinds of content from that portal will also usually also be selected).
- a 'remote information resource' contains information of interest to a potentially large number of users and is remotely accessible over a wireless connection. Web and WAP sites are examples of remote information resources.
- the idle screen has primarily been used solely to display the name of the network operator and alerting messages, such as '2 missed calls', or other kinds of information selected, not by the user, but by an advertiser or network operator. Placing remotely sourced, updated information of interest to the user in the idle screen makes that information instantly accessible without the user having to navigate to the required application (e.g. a micro-browser), open that application (which may require a username and password) navigate to the required information and wait for it to download.
- the required application e.g. a micro-browser
- open that application which may require a username and password
- the remote information resource providing the content is an internet site, such as, but not limited to, a WAP site. Hyperlinks in the updated information shown in the idle screen can be navigated to.
- content may also be provided by messages, including smart messages such as BioMessagesTM from Symbian Limited of the United Kingdom.
- the user may directly select the remote information resource by, for example, navigating to an internet site and defining elements of that site to appear in the idle screen.
- the user may also indirectly select the remote information resource by setting or agreeing to certain kinds of default profiles; for example, if a user selects a 'shopping' profile, then location specific information relating to nearby shops (e.g. special offers etc.) or links to nearby taxi firms or indeed nearby taxis could be pushed to the user's device to appear automatically in the idle screen of the user's mobile telephone device.
- alerting messages e.g. "1 missed call”
- alerting messages are displayed in addition to the updated information or alternating, possibly every few seconds, with that updated information.
- Additional features may include the following:
- Updates can also be sent whenever a change to the content occurs. Having information pushed to the device in these ways means that the information shown on the idle screen is always reasonably up to date and the user does not need to wait for a download whenever he or she wishes to view reasonably current information. • Multiple information resources may be used with different priority settings; for example the idle screen may normally simply show information from a general news feed, but when a local traffic alert is issued, that can take priority over the general news information and be displayed in its place or together with the general news feed.
- a method of supplying information for display on a mobile telephone device comprising the step of sending from a remote information resource updated information defined by a user of the device to be of a kind which is of interest to him or her, in which the information is subsequently displayed on an idle screen of the device.
- a further aspect of the invention is a remote information resource adapted to be suitable for supplying information as defined in the method of supplying information defined in the preceding paragraph.
- Another aspect of the invention is computer software suitable for enabling a mobile telephone device to:
- Figures 1 - 4 are screen shots showing how a web site can be accessed to set up automatic updating of information to a mobile telephone device as envisaged in the present invention
- Figures 5 — 10B are schematic images showing a mobile telephone device with screen showing the various stages involved in using a system envisaged in the present invention.
- FIGS. 11A and 11B are schematic flow charts of a WAP/Web pull implementation
- Figures 12A and 12B are schematic flow charts of a WAP push implementation
- Figures 13A and 13B are schematic flow charts of a message based implementation.
- Active IdleTM from Symbian Limited of the United Kingdom
- Active Idle allows a user to select WAP derived data to be pushed to his or her mobile telephone device and displayed as the idle screen, or as part of the idle screen.
- Active Idle can also be used not only for WAP but also 2.5G and 3G systems.
- WAP is often sold on its ability to deliver a specific type of commodity: small chunks of frequently- changing information, such as sports scores, stock prices, flight status bulletins, cinema listings, news, weather forecasts, etc. As noted above, it is ⁇
- Active Idle mobile telephone devices support embedding a scheduled-update WAP page, or content delivered via smart messages (such as Bio Messages), within the default or idle screen. Active Idle therefore provides user-selected key information at a glance, without requiring user actions, and without interrupting the user with alerts.
- the information delivery and display then practically runs itself, with only optional interventions from the user.
- This example shows how the availability of an Active Idle screen might be exploited by Yahoo!TM over WAP: the service is called the Y! mobile Agent.
- the illustrated implementation is hypothetical only and should not be construed as implying that any such service is in fact available from or otherwise supported by Yahoo!. 1.
- the user logs into My Yahoo! on his/her PC as shown in Figure 1. Configuration could also be done via the mobile telephone device.
- the term 'mobile telephone device' may be shortened to 'device' in this specification.
- a setup screen informed by the user's existing My Yahoo! preferences allows the user to specify what is visible in the 'agent' or idle page, as shown in Figure 3.
- pressing 'Finished' sends a smart message to the user's mobile telephone device which will configure it to set the appropriate URL as the idle page.
- pressing 'Finished' simply initiates the first sending of data.
- the user receives the message on his/her mobile telephone device(s) as shown in
- the content includes branding elements. Apart from displaying the content, the device functions exactly as before. 8.
- the update schedule is every 20 minutes, but the user can force an update at any time by using the device menu as shown in Figure 8A, with an updated result being shown at Figure 8B.
- the up and down arrow keys can be used even when the keypad lock is on as shown in Figure 10A and Figure 10B. This would require the device to ignore the keypress once an extremity of the list is reached, to prevent powerdrain if e.g. a key is pressed in a bag.
- Symbian OSTM platform from Symbian llimited of the United Kingdom.
- Symbian OS platform is widely used for applications for mobile telephone devices.
- Software development kits and other development resources are readily available for the Symbian platform (see symbian.com).

- Content provider server the content provider server storing the content.
- the user contacts content provider using the device (typically through Web or WAP browser software) and determines content s/he desires to be shown in the idle screen.
- This could be an existing web or, more appropriately on a small screen, WAP page (such as wap.yahoo.co.uk). Or alternatively it could be a Web/WAP page generated according to the user's specified preferences for different sorts of information (e.g. sports results, cookery, news headlines). Services such as My Yahoo! Already offer this functionality for Web browsers.
- the user instructs the device to set the current page as the Active Idle screen page, and sets the update schedule (e.g. Update every hour', or 'Update at 9am').
- update schedule e.g. Update every hour', or 'Update at 9am'.
- the device displays the page content in the idle screen.
- An update can be initiated by either: a. the user instructing the device to update now, by using controls (e.g. a menu option) on the device. (This kind of update could be called "Forced update”.) b. the TSM instructing the AISM that it is time to update the content.
- the AISM instructs the Device Data Communications Components to initiate a connection to the server and retrieve the content associated with the page address stored by the AISM.
- the DDCCs retrieve the appropriate content and return it to the AISM.
- the AISM stores the content and passes it to the Idle Screen Application specifying that the old content should be disregarded and the new content should be displayed in the Idle screen.
- the Idle Screen Application displays the content.
- This section describes the components, overall flow, and detailed flow of the updating process for an Active Idle screen based on a system using WAP 'push'.
