A wireless information devices can access betting related services by: (a) receiving and displaying the best odds on an event as automatically selected from odds offered by two or more bookmakers; (b) displaying an option to initiate placing a bet at the best odds; and (c) sending instructions to place the bet. This approach integrates an automated search function, that can identify the best available odds, with a mechanism to actually place a bet at the best odds. The automated search function avoids the need to display a long list of bookmakers names and related odds. This is the first step in simplifying the user interaction needed to place a bet. The second step is to integrate the display of the best odds with an option to initiate placing a bet. The option, if selected, sends instructions to place the bet. This form of integration avoids the need to navigate from an odds checking site to a bookmakers site, finding the relevant event on the bookmakers site and then placing a bet, which can be slow and awkward on a wireless information device.

A method and structure for providing call control in a telephone network that begins by directing a telephone call from a signal switching point to a service node, forwarding a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) call control extensible markup language (CCXML) application request from the service node to a server and parlay gateway combination, and forwarding a request for instruction from the server and parlay gateway combination to a telephony application server. The telephony application server returns a routing requirement to the server and parlay gateway combination which, in turn, dynamically transforms the routing requirement into a CCXML routing application and forwards the CCXML routing application to the service node. The service node executes the CCXML routing application to route the telephone call.

Based on an observation of user behaviors, users change functionalities of electronic devices whenever users shift their activities. For example, when a user is going to sleep, said user may turn off TV and lights, set alarm, and set vibration for smart phone. All said changes to the functionalities are related to a shift in user-activity to “sleep” and may require clicks, pinches, swipes or else to buttons, touch screens, and other user interface tools, which are all too complex for many users. This invention provides systems and methods to reduce the complexity in user interface practice. When this invention detects a new user-activity, it automatically applies required changes to functionalities, which are predefined as a mode of operation for the detected user-activity. Thus user interface practice and user experience of this invention is simple, intuitive and better suited for recent complexity in functionality.
