International Classification:

D06F 75/10
D06F 75/26

Abstract:

Embodiments provide a method and device that enables automatic selection of settings for ironing one or more pieces of fabric. A digital camera on an ironing device captures an image of a fabric. A wireless communication device on the ironing device communicates the image to a remote computing system for digital image processing to determine a fabric type and to select a set of settings based on the fabric type. The wireless communication device receives the set of settings from the remote computing system. The set of settings are applied to the ironing device.

Abstract:

A method for dynamically organizing applications based on a calendar event includes presenting a plurality of icons on an electronic display of a mobile device. Each icon of the plurality of icons represents an application configured to execute on the mobile device. The method further includes identifying an upcoming calendar event on a calendar linked to the mobile device and determining if there is a correlation between the application and the calendar event by comparing one or more characteristics of the application to one or more characteristics of the calendar event. The method also includes positioning the plurality of icons on the electronic display according to the determined correlation between the application and the calendar event such that icons representing applications having a positive correlation to the calendar event are positioned to be more visible than icons representing applications that do not have a positive correlation to the calendar event.

Abstract:

Emails are received and parsed for a set of dates. A set of words surrounding the set of dates are identified and contextual information is correlated with the set of dates based on the set of words. It is then determined whether the dates are promotional expiration dates based on the contextual information. The emails that have promotional dates are placed in a list having a chronological order that is based on the promotional expiration dates. The current calendar date is checked and emails are excluded from the list in response to the current calendar date being chronologically after the promotional expiration date. The list is then displayed based on the exclusion of the email.

Abstract:

A computer implemented method for managing a phone communication response is disclosed. The method can include creating a set of phone communication response preferences. The method can include setting, in response to a triggering event, a phone communication response configured to provide status information including arrival time information and location information. The method can include resolving, in response to receiving a phone communication, a correlation between identifying information of the phone communication and at least a portion of the set of phone communication response preferences. The method can also include providing, in response to resolving the correlation, the phone communication response.
