Abstract
Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture of an association of context data with a text-message component. A context data is associated with a text-message component. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be indicated with a user interface. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be embedded in a text-message signal. The association between the context data and the text-message component may be embedded in a short message service (SMS) signal.
Claims25
A method of a mobile device comprising:
- automatically detecting a text message component in a text message drafted with a mobile device, wherein the text message component is drafted with a text-messaging application of the mobile device by the user of the mobile device, and wherein the text message component comprises a term in the memory of the mobile device that is used to match the text message component with a biosensor data;
- automatically correlating the text message component with the biosensor data, wherein the use of the biosensor data is automatically determined by the text-message component;
- associating the biosensor data with the text message component, wherein the biosensor data comprises a biosensor measurement that is automatically obtained from a biosensor that measures an attribute of the user of the mobile device,
- indicating the association between the biosensor data and the text-message component with a user interface of the mobile device;
- and
- graphically indicating a magnitude of the available biosensor data associated with the text-message component.

In a mobile device having a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a display and a selection device, a method comprising:
- rendering a user-generated text-message component on a GUI, wherein the text-message component is drafted with a text-messaging application of the mobile device by a user of a mobile device, and wherein the text-message component comprises a term in the memory of the mobile device that is used to automatically correlate the text-message component with a biosensor-data type;
- automatically rendering a biosensor-data icon on the GUI;
- automatically determining the biosensor-data type relationally linked with the user-generated text-message component, wherein the use of the biosensor-data type is automatically determined by the text-message component;
- retrieving a biosensor-data measurement associated with the text-message component, wherein the biosensor-data measurement is comprised of the biosensor-data type relationally linked with the user-generated text-message component, wherein the biosensor-data provides information of an attribute of an environment of a mobile device, and wherein the biosensor-data measurement is retrieved from the memory of the mobile device;
- and
- transforming the biosensor-data icon according to the biosensor data measurement.
3 more elements
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- render a user-composed text-message component on a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the text-message component is drafted with a text-messaging application of the mobile device by a user of the mobile device, and wherein the text-message component comprises a term in a memory of the mobile device that is used to match the text-message component with a biosensor-data type;
- automatically render a biosensor-data icon on the GUI;
- automatically retrieve a biosensor data availability associated with the text-message component from a biosensor of the mobile device when the text-message component is automatically related to the biosensor data, wherein the biosensor data provides information of an attribute of an environment of a mobile device, and wherein the biosensor data availability is retrieved from the memory of the mobile device;
- and
- transform a biosensor data indicator according to the biosensor data availability;
- a processor readable memory;
- a biosensor, configured to;
- acquire the biosensor data;
- a user input device;
- and
- a display device.
9 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a text message application of a mobile device;
- automatically obtaining a portion of a user-composed text message generated by the text message application, and wherein the portion of the user-composed text message comprises a term in a memory of the mobile device that is used to match the portion of a user-composed text message with a biosensor data;
- automatically determining the biosensor data that relates to the portion of the user-composed text message;
- automatically acquiring the biosensor data wherein the biosensor data comprises a sender attribute;
- automatically linking the biosensor data to the portion of the text message;
- and
- signifying a linkage of the biosensor data and the portion of the text message with a user interface.
