Started looking at the author's patents out of curiosity.
http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=IN%2FLisa+and+Seacat%0D%0A&d=PG01 http://appft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=...
A computer receives user preferences. The computer receives a document, wherein the document includes an image. The computer determines that the image contains embedded text. The computer determines that the embedded text does not satisfy the received user preferences. The computer modifies the embedded text to satisfy user preferences.
Is this stuff actually enforceable? As in, could I, with adequate legal sources, actually get companies and individuals to pay me money for something as generic as "Text resizing within an embedded image", without actually implementing it (whether it be stand-alone code or within some sort of application)? Is Apple shelling out cash to IBM for the privilege of autoresizing labels?

"[...] approaches for preventing an accidental termination of a phone call session.". The patent actually covers the event of when a user: 1) is in a call 2) taps dismiss 3) phone decide to dismiss or continue because [wildcard] reason. So the functionality in my Samsung that "decide" whether to ignore or continue when I tap dismiss with my chin is patented, cool.
