摘要:
A portable radio communication device (102) includes a housing (302), and a transmitter (906) and control circuitry (902) disposed in the housing (302). The housing (302) is configured to carry a first battery source (112) and to optionally simultaneously carry a second battery source (114). The control circuitry (902) configures the transmitter (906) to transmit in accordance with a first set of power levels when the second battery source (114) is available, and in accordance with a second set of power levels when the second battery source (114) is unavailable. The first set of power levels includes at least one power level greater than any of the second set of power levels.

Disclosed are methods and devices for automatically selecting which mobile communication device among two or more related mobile communication devices may establish communication or authorize a transaction for particular services or goods with an unrelated third communication device. The described method includes a first mobile communication device detecting the presence of a related second mobile communication device and authorizing a communication with a third unrelated entity, such as that of a vendor, based on the presence of the related second mobile communication device. Also described is a method of a first mobile communication device including detecting the presence of a related second mobile communication device and restricting wireless communication with a unrelated third communication device, such as that of a vendor.

An electronic circuit (200) for a portable electronic device includes an energy source interface (202), a load (204) coupled to the energy source interface (202), an energy storage circuit (206) having a maximum operating voltage, and a switch circuit (208). The switch circuit (208) is coupled to the energy source interface (202) in series with the energy storage circuit (206). The switch circuit (208) operates to switchably decouple the energy storage circuit (206) in response to a voltage at the load (204) that exceeds the maximum operating voltage.

A mobile station (102) has electrical circuitry (301) that operates to reduce power consumption. A synthesizer (318) is tuned so that a receiver (314) receives a home radio frequency (RF) signal during a receive slot (504) of a PCH subframe (209). A controller (310) detects if an upcoming subframe has an uplink requirement and if data from the home RF signal indicates that an idle condition exists. If the upcoming subframe does not have an uplink requirement, synthesizer (318) is tuned during a long idle slot (506) of PCH subframe (209) to measure signal strengths of two peripheral RF signals. If the idle condition does exist, electrical circuitry (301) is placed into a low power mode throughout a transmit slot (508), a receive slot (512), a long idle slot (514), and a transmit slot (516).

An article of clothing can include a clothing body adapted to be worn by a user. The article of clothing can include a pocket assembly formed as part of the clothing body. The pocket assembly can include an inner panel disposed as a part of the pocket assembly. The inner panel can include an electrically conductive material. The pocket assembly can also include an outer panel disposed as a part of the pocket assembly that is farther than the inner panel from a user wearing the article of clothing. The article of clothing can include an RFID tag coupled to the clothing body. The RFID tag can store radio-frequency shielding information regarding the electrically conductive material of the article of clothing.
摘要:
A communication device performs a method for coordinating communications between a plurality of communication devices of a user. The method includes detecting an active communication session on a primary communication device having user engagement, and determining a set of secondary communication devices in proximity to the user. The method further includes detecting an interruption event, at the primary communication device, during the active communication session. Additionally, the method includes determining that a first secondary communication device, in the set of secondary communication devices, has capability to process the interruption event, and transferring the interruption event to the first secondary communication device.
摘要:
An electronic device is operable to display images on a display screen of the device's display. The images include at least one icon and at least one image to be used as a background setting for the display screen. The electronic device includes the display, at least one storage device, and a processing unit. The storage device(s) digitally stores the images and operating instructions for displaying the images. The processing device is operable in accordance with the operating instructions to: retrieve the images from the storage device, determine at least one portion of the background setting that is of higher importance than a remainder of the background setting to produce at least one high importance portion of the background setting, and instruct the display to display the background setting and the icons on the display screen such that the high importance portion(s) of the background setting is viewable.
摘要:
A method for receiving a broadcast message in a wireless communication device is disclosed. The device receives a broadcast message that has associated therewith a unique message grouping identifier and determines whether the unique message grouping identifier of the received message is equal to a unique message grouping identifier of a previously received message. The device ignores the received broadcast message when the unique message grouping identifier of the received message is equal to the unique message grouping identifier of the previously received message and in some implementations enters sleep mode.
摘要:
A method for controlling diversity receivers in a wireless communication device includes the steps of: determining if the wireless communication device is experiencing poor coverage (220), using a first receiver and a second receiver for diversity (230) if the wireless communication device is experiencing poor coverage, and using the second receiver for scanning (240) if the wireless communication device is not experiencing poor coverage. Thus, diversity can be used when needed to improve reception. Both receivers, however, can be used in a non-diversity mode to reduce current drain or to speed up channel acquisition when coverage is not poor.
摘要:
A circuit (2) and method employing logic circuitry (30) and memory (40) identifies a reverse link limited channel (80). The logic circuitry (30) identifies a reverse link limited channel based on determining that an access probe failure occurred on a channel (64). The logic circuitry (30) causes the memory to store reverse link limited channel data (80) in response to the logic circuitry (30) determining that the access probe failure occurred. The reverse link limited channel data (80), for example, may be a channel identification associated with the channel (64), a base station identification associated with the channel (64), a location identification of the circuit (2) or any data suitable for identifying and adapting dynamically to the reverse link limited channel.
