Automated method and system for obtaining user-selected real-time information on a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A method for obtaining user-selected real-time information on a mobile communication device from a tile displayed on the mobile device and selected by the user, comprising:
- configuring a customized live tile application module in association with a first mobile communication device in order to selectively provide real-time 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 real-time information with said first mobile communication device from a live tile displayed on the mobile device and selected by the user by retrieving said real-time tile information from a remote server; and
selectively providing at least one of said tile and said tile information 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.

Abstract
A customized live tile application module can be configured in association with the mobile communication device in order to automatically vocalize the real-time 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 real-time information. The real-time 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. Such an approach automatically and instantly pushes a vocal alert with respect to the user-selected real-time 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.
