New Microsoft patent “relieves” the mobile user
Last week, Microsoft was granted US patent 7,180,987: “System, method, and apparatus for tracking on-call activity.” In it, they refer our Call Context patent. Microsoft’s main claim is that mobile user A can attach some data to a voice call made to mobile user B. User B can then see that data in the context of the call from User A. That’s it. In the abstract, Microsoft explains the value of their innovation:
Thus, a human user of the first electronic device is relieved of identifying data within a context, and relieved of the task associating the data with other data.
Uhhh????
At least we should be thankful that we can now relieve ourselves when mobile!
