    摘要: A device (124, 122) having application data to transmit collects (502) information concerning data transport capabilities affecting transmission timing of at least one wireless link available for transmitting the application data, and calculates (506), from the information, a maximum amount of data that can be completed through the at least one wireless link by a predetermined time. The device then determines (508), when attainable, from the application data and from a predetermined set of user-presentation formats possible for the application data, a user-presentation format that requires less than the maximum amount of data. The device then formats (514) the application data in accordance with the user-presentation format before transmitting the application data (530).

    摘要: The present invention is a method and apparatus for the detection of portable electronic device functionality. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a chemically coated antenna to serve as a trigger for device functionality detection. The chemically coated antenna may be passively or actively detected. In active detection, a detection apparatus releases a chemical which reacts or otherwise respods with the chemical trigger in a detectable manner. The detection apparatus detects the reaction, which is specific to the functionality of the portable electronic device. In passive detection, a detection device simply detects the chemical trigger, which is specific to the portable electronic device functionality. Other trigger embodiments utilizing optics, radio frequency (RF) signals, sound waves, and magnetic identification are also disclosed.

    摘要: Signals encoded with watermark information are generated and broadcast into a protected area for capture by illicit recording devices along with their intended targets. An illicit recording in which at least a portion of the broadcast watermark signals are recorded is obtained and correlated with a known position of the broadcast watermark signals to yield the location of illicit recording devices. In an alternate embodiment, a surveillance device, being image and time synchronized with a signal broadcasting device, monitors and records the protected area. Illicit recordings containing the broadcast watermark are obtained and correlated with corresponding recordings taken by the surveillance device to identify the location of illicit recording devices. In an alternate embodiment, the surveillance device further monitors the quality of the broadcast watermark signals and adjusts them accordingly to achieve a desired quality level.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for use in a variety of communications systems providing one or more payment alternatives for communication services and automatically selecting of a group of alternative payment techniques while significantly reducing the amount of interactive activity required from the user. Upon entry of a request to establish communications between calling and called electronic devices, the system initially looks towards a primary service provider. Absent acceptance of the request for service by the primary service provider, for whatever reason, the system automatically reverts to an alternative service provider and/or payment provider by searching data provided by the user and coupled to the electronic device for which a communication link is requested, eliminating the need for any further input by the user in the form of redialing the call, providing data through insertion of a debit or credit card, for example, identifying the alternative payment provider. The data identifying alternative service/payment providers may be contained in a card or chip removably insertable into the electronic device or in a storage device incorporated therein. Capability may be provided for choosing the most economic service/payment provider to be selected for honoring the request for service.

    摘要: A method and apparatus synchronize a first floating timing reference (207) of a first base station (116) with a timing reference of a second base station (116) of a communication system, without requiring an interruption of normal user traffic through the communication system. A receiver (208) of the first base station monitors (402) a user traffic transmission of the second base station, thereby generating a received signal, and a processing system (206) of the first base station derives (410) a received timing reference (308) from the received signal. The processing system independently adjusts (426, 428) the first floating timing reference according to the received timing reference, without requiring a timing adjustment instruction from a centralized synchronization controller.
