摘要:
A portable communication device (100) includes at least one sensing circuit (101) and a processor (104), and operates in accordance with a corresponding method of operation. The sensing circuit detects (205) either a characteristic of an external environment containing the portable communication device (e.g., a chemical in the air or acceleration of the device) or a characteristic of the portable communication device user (e.g., heart rate or blood sugar content), and generates a signal (207) representative of a feature of the sensed characteristic. The processor receives the signal and initiates an event based at least on the feature of the sensed characteristic as represented by the signal. Events include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: alerting the device user, transmitting a signal (e.g., an emergency call) to a remote communication device, re-sensing the characteristic or sensing another characteristic, and modifying a setting or profile of the device.

A first sequence state storage module (20) periodically stores a present state (22) of a long code generator (30). Following a restoration of power after a power cut condition, or following the termination of any other interruption of the generation of the long code, a sequence recovery module (50) then provides an updated present state (36). The updated present state (36) is based upon a stored present state (24) and a time value (52) that is reset whenever the present state (22) of the long code or other sequence is stored and that is available even when the long code or other sequence is interrupted.
摘要:
A method of making a geographic location determination via a cellular telephone in signal communication with a base station. The mobile station first attempts to detect a position location signal. Upon determining that the position location signal is insufficient to use in a position location calculation, the mobile station deactivates at least a portion of a receiver. The mobile station receives a cellular communication signal and measures a signal quality of the cellular communication signal. Responsive to the signal quality improving by a predetermined amount, the mobile station reactivates the receiver portion and re-attempts to detect the position location signal.

A modular communication device (102), which provides for radio frequency (RF) communication in a communication system (100), comprises a first modular unit (106) and a second modular unit (108). The first modular unit (106) includes a housing (110); a user interface (113) including a display (114) and keys (116); electrical circuitry (605), including a transceiver (606) coupled to an antenna (610); a battery connection interface (308) for receiving a battery (302); and a connection interface (120). The second modular unit (108) includes a housing (128); a user interface (135) including a speaker (650), a microphone (648), and a keypad (140); a retractable antenna (134); a battery connection interface (402) for receiving a battery (142); and a connection interface (143). When the connection interfaces (143, 120) are connected, the user interface (135), the antenna (134), and the battery connection interface (402) are coupled to the electrical circuitry (602).

An apparatus (100) generates a preferred roaming list (108) for a wireless mobile station (404) that includes area identification data (such as GEO GROUP_ID) (200) corresponding to an area serviced by at least one wireless wide area network, such as a ground based CDMA system and an area services by at least one in-vehicle wireless pico-cell (402), such as a wireless CDMA pico-cell located on an aircraft or any other suitable vehicle. The area identification data (200) is associated with a wireless in-vehicle pico-cell system identification data (205) and in the case of a CDMA pico cell system, a system identification data SID) and network identification (NID) data pair (206) associated with the in-vehicle wireless pico-cell (402).
摘要:
A mobile station (201) having an improved receiver capability over legacy mobile stations may detect additional base stations (205, 209) for the candidate list (219). The mobile station (201) provides a receiver capability indication to the network via a message such as an origination message, a page response message, a handover message, or a registration message. The message may utilize one or more bit fields of an information packet (300), or otherwise an information element (401) to convey the receiver capability information. The BTS (203) or BSC (109) will accordingly customize the mobile station handover parameters to better utilize the mobile station capabilities.
摘要:
A wireless communication device includes a near-field activated circuit that transmits an output signal upon exposure to an energizing electromagnetic field, and a sensor having an output coupled to the near-field activated circuit, wherein the sensor produces an output signal in response to sensing an environmental condition other than the energizing electromagnetic field, and wherein the output signal of the near-field activated circuit changes when the sensor changes states.
摘要:
A method for key press registration in an electronic device uses a first key press debounce limit (233) if a first housing of the electronic device has not moved relative to a second housing of the electronic device and a second key press debounce limit (236) if the first housing has moved relative to the second housing. In one implementation, the second debounce limit is at least twice the first debounce limit. By using different debounce limits based on whether housing movement has recently been detected, the electronic device reduces the effect of an inadvertent key press made while opening or closing the electronic device.
