摘要： A method is described for launching a vehicular camera application residing on a docked mobile communication device, such as a smartphone, tablet computer, or mp3 player, for example. A common feature for the many choices of a mobile communication device is that the mobile communication device comprises embedded data processing capability. The launching operation of the vehicular camera application includes detecting a communicative coupling of the mobile communication device with a docking device; and thereafter initiating the vehicular camera application that resides on the mobile communication device. Images are displayed on the mobile communication device that was captured by a vehicular camera or a camera integrated with the mobile communication device or communicatively coupled to the mobile communication device. The associated camera may be controlled by the vehicular camera application

摘要： A method for storing and managing rekeying information for a secure communication system, as well as for carrying out a rekeying operation. Encryption key variables stored in memory (301) are represented by mnemonics (303) as part of an editable data base (302) that is arranged in the same order as communication unit key storage locations. Each communication unit (305) within the system is assigned to a specific group (304), while each group (304) is assigned to a particular editable data base (302).

摘要： In a mobile communications system, a plurality of base stations may receive the same signal, whereby the "best" reception may be determined. The plurality of received digital signals are combined to form a majority signal. Each of the received digital signals is compared to the majority signal to estimate the bit-error-rate (BER) of each received signal. If the difference between the highest and lowest BER is less than a predetermined threshold, the majority signal is selected for reception. Conversely, if the BER difference is greater than the predetermined threshold, the received digital signal with the lowest BER is selected for reception. Thus, the signal with the lowest BER is selected to provide the best possible communications.

摘要： Within a communication system, an encryption controller receives unit identification information from a plurality of encrypting/decrypting communication units. For any individual communication unit, the encryption controller uses the unit identification associated with that transmitting communication unit to determine if it contains updated encryption key information. If the transmitting communication unit is not currently updated, a group call is used to send the current encryption key information to all communication units within the transmitting communication unit's group, thereby updating all active, non-current communication units. After a first predetermined period of time has elapsed, this process is allowed to repeat.

摘要翻译： 在通信系统中，加密控制器从多个加密/解密通信单元接收单元识别信息。 对于任何单独的通信单元，加密控制器使用与该发送通信单元相关联的单元标识来确定其是否包含更新的加密密钥信息。 如果发送通信单元当前未更新，则使用组呼呼将当前加密密钥信息发送到发送通信单元组内的所有通信单元，从而更新所有活动的当前通信单元。 在第一预定时间段过去之后，允许该过程重复。
