摘要： Described is a method and system for initiating configuration of a modem connected to a mobile device. The system and method provide a mechanism for guiding a user through the setup process in order to simplify the user's connectivity to a network using the modem. In one embodiment, the mechanism monitors for when a modem is connected to the mobile device. When a modem is connected for the first time, the mobile device launches a wizard utility that directs the user's configuration of the connected modem. The user is able to choose from performing an initial configuration of the modem, or migrating settings of a previously connected modem to establish the connected modem's settings. Thus, the user is guided through the configuration process, increasing the discoverability of the modem and simplifying its setup for the user.

摘要： Example apparatus and methods concern controlling a variable flash to improve image detection. One example apparatus includes a digital camera and a variable flash configured to be controllable to operate at different selected illumination levels. The apparatus may be configured to identify a current imaging condition associated with the digital camera and to then determine a lux setting for the variable flash as a function of the current imaging condition. The flash may then be controlled as a function of the lux setting for subsequent image acquisition. The acquisition, analysis, and flash control may be exercised until a desired illumination is achieved. In one embodiment, determining the current imaging condition may include analyzing a frame acquired from the digital camera for attributes including image brightness, and edge detectability. In one embodiment, input from a light sensor may also be considered.

摘要： Systems and methods for transferring data over a voice channel during a voice communication connection (e.g., a telephone call) using DTMF signals over a single voice communication channel. The arbitrary data can include contact information, graphics, photographs, streaming media, interactive game information, location information, cached web pages, audio clips, etc. Some or all of the standard DTMF signals can be uniquely mapped to groups of bits. For example, the standard DTMF signals for numbers “0” through “7” can be mapped to the corresponding three-bit binary representations of those numbers. The arbitrary data can be placed in a container with meta-data indicating the start and end of the data, the type of the data, the amount of data, error correction/detection information, etc. The receiver can prevent the DTMF signals from being converted to audio signals to spare any human listeners from hearing the DTMF signals.
