AUTOMATED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING USER-SELECTED INFORMATION ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining user-selected information on mobile communication devices from active tiles displayed on the mobile devices and selected by users, comprising:
- associating a customized live tile application module with a first mobile communication device in order to selectively provide information preselected by a user for rendering as at least one of speech to a speaker integrated in the first mobile communication device, speech to a speaker wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, images on a flat panel display that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, images on a second mobile communication device that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, or speech on the second mobile communication device that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device;
obtaining said information with said first mobile communication device from a live tile displayed on the mobile device and selected by the user by retrieving said tile information from a remote server; and
selectively providing at least one of said tile and said tile information or rendering as at least one of speech to a speaker integrated in the first mobile communication device, speech to a speaker wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, images on a flat panel display that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, images on a second mobile communication device that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device, or speech on the second mobile communication device that is wirelessly connected to the first mobile communication device.

Abstract
A customized live the application module can be configured in association with the mobile communication device in order to automatically vocalize the information preselected by a user in a multitude of languages. A text-to-speech application module can be integrated with the customized live tile application module to automatically vocalize the preselected information. The information can be obtained from a tile and/or a website integrated with a remote server and announced after a text to speech conversion process without opening the tile, if the tiles are selected for announcement of information by the device. The information can be obtained in real-time. Such an approach automatically and instantly pushes a vocal alert with respect to the user-selected information on the mobile communication device thereby permitting the user to continue multitasking. Information from tiles can also be rendered on second screens from a mobile device.
