摘要： A method of predicting user input to a mobile terminal is presented. The mobile terminal creates a raw user input data record comprised of input to the mobile terminal. A contextual data record is appended to the raw user input data record and both are stored. Another process processes the records contained in the raw user input database to identify repetitive patterns of user input. Identified patterns are stored in a recognized input pattern database. The mobile terminal then monitors current input and compares it to the repetitive patterns stored in the recognized input pattern database. Upon matching the current input to a repetitive pattern within a specified tolerance, the mobile terminal prompts the user to allow the mobile terminal to complete the process of inputting the data.

摘要： Methods and systems for a transceiver to acquire synchronization to a channel in a TDMA communications system by identifying a known synchronization word in a burst received at the transceiver over the channel are provided. Pursuant to these methods and systems a first uncertainty window and a second uncertainty window are defined within a burst that is received over the channel. The transceiver may search in these uncertainty windows for the known synchronization word, where the first uncertainty window is smaller than the second uncertainty window. The first uncertainty window is first searched for the known synchronization word. It may then be determined if the known synchronization word has been located within the first uncertainty window. If it has not been, the second uncertainty window is then searched for the known synchronization word.

摘要： An artificial ramping waveform profile is applied to a burst transmission power amplifier in order to reduce transients. A profile source is supplied with a plurality of pre-determined artificial ramping profiles. At the beginning of the burst transmission ramping period, one of the artificial ramping profiles is selected and fed to the power amplifier. The selection of the artificial ramping profile is based at least in part on the first message symbol of the message to be burst transmitted. Preferably, each different possible first message symbol has its own unique corresponding artificial ramping profile, and the corresponding waveform is used to artificially ramp the power amplifier when that message symbol is the first message symbol. At the end of the ramping period, the inputs to the power amplifier are switched to the traditional signal source, such as the FIR filters, etc., for receipt of the message symbols. The transmitted signal is based then on the response of the power amplifier to the artificial ramping profile and the message symbols. The generation of transient adjacent channel power is significantly reduced by artificially ramping the power amplifier rather than allowing for natural ramping. By choosing the artificial ramping profile based on the first message symbol, the phase trajectory changes near the end of the ramping period may be significantly smoothed, thereby lessening the generation of undesired harmonic power levels.

摘要： Systems and methods for locating a known multi-symbol syncword in a received signal are disclosed, wherein a potential syncword is located in a first batch of samples of the received signal which has a correlation energy with the known syncword which exceeds a first detection threshold. A correlation energy with the known syncword for a group of samples in a second batch of samples of the received signal is determined, where the group of samples in the second batch of samples are selected based on the location of the potential syncword within the first batch of samples. The correlation energy associated with the group of samples in the second batch of samples is compared with a second detection threshold that is higher than the first detection threshold. The location of the known syncword may be identified based upon the comparison of the correlation energy associated with the group of samples in the second batch of samples with the second detection threshold.

摘要： A mobile communications device has a wireless transceiver to facilitate communications, memory, and a processor. The processor may be configured to analyze an audio file stored in the memory, and extract or generate synchronizing information from the audio file. The processor synchronizes one or more complementary multi-media effects, such as lights, a camera, or a tactile feedback generator, with the audio file based on the synchronizing information. Alternatively, a user may input synchronizing information about the audio file via an interface on the communications device. The processor may then control the complementary multi-media effects in synchronization with the input synchronizing information.

摘要： A multi-path demodulator is provided for a mobile radiotelephone that includes a maximum likelihood sequence estimator in parallel with a symbol-by-symbol detector to demodulate the received signals. In a preferred embodiment, an adaptive equalizer is used in a dual-path demodulator in parallel with a differential detector. As each frame of data is demodulated, a determination is made from channel decoder information from each path about which demodulated bit stream to use (e.g., from either the estimator or detector). The performance of the demodulator is thus optimized for both non-time-dispersive and time-dispersive radio signals.

摘要： A method and system are provided for adaptively reducing noise in frames of digitized audio signals that may include both speech and background noise. Frames of digitized audio signals are processed to determine what attenuation (if any) should be applied to the current frame of digitized audio signals. Initially it is determined whether the current frame of digitized audio signals includes speech information, this determination being based upon an estimate of noise and on a speech threshold value. An attenuation value determined for the previous audio frame is modified based on this determination and applied to the current frame in order to minimize the background noise which thereby improves the quality of received speech. The attenuation applied to the audio frames is modified gradually on a frame-by-frame basis, each sample in a specific frame is attenuated using the value calculated for that frame. The adaptive noise reduction system may be advantageously applied to telecommunication systems in which portable radio transceivers communicate over RF channels because the adaptive noise reduction technique does not significantly increase data processing overhead.
