摘要:
To determine the distance and/or acoustic quality between a mobile device and a base unit, an acoustic signal is received by a microphone in one of said mobile device and base unit. A correlation of a second signal with the received acoustic signal is determined. An acoustic quality and/or a distance between the mobile device and the base unit is determined based on one or more peaks in the result of the step of determining the correlation.
摘要:
A sensory prompted protocol for the manipulation of complex devices such as consumer electronic devices without the necessity of the visual feedback via textual or graphic data on a graphical user interface, wherein the binary state sensor functions change with time rather than placement, so that a user action biases a binary state input, which is correlated to a timed data stream, the correlation indicating the desired action selected by the user.

A technical data monitoring device for use with a wireless data monitoring network includes a wireless communications circuit, and at least one technical device/system. The technical data monitoring device establishes a wireless communication link with a programmable interface of a programmable cellular telephone. The device is also configured to send and/or receive wireless packet switched data transmissions, generate data and send data over the wireless communication link for processing by the programmable cellular telephone, and has an associated status condition. Data from the device is (1) sent to be processed and displayed by the programmable cellular telephone and/or (2) sent to be processed and forwarded by the programmable cellular telephone to an Internet website. The device forms part of the wireless data monitoring network in communication with the programmable cellular telephone. The technical device/system can be one of a number of sensors, devices, or systems.
摘要:
A programmable cellular telephone device includes a programmable interface for establishing a wireless communications link with at least one monitored technical device, and a processing module for authenticating wireless transmissions sent from a programming transmitter by determining if at least one transmission contains a coded number. The device is configured to use memory to store a telephone number or IP address included within the transmission(s) if the processing module authenticates the transmission(s) by determining that the transmission includes the coded number. The stored telephone numbers/IP addresses are numbers to which the device is configured to and permitted to send outgoing wireless transmissions. The device also communicates with a remote data monitoring device and/or sends data to/receives data from an Internet web page. The device processes data received from a monitored technical device, displays the processed data, and/or to transmits the data to an Internet web page.
摘要:
Methods and systems for detecting unintentional calls placed to a call center. In some implementations, a device with telephone capability recognizes that it is being used to place a call, and automatically collects information usable to estimate whether the call is intentional or unintentional. For example, the device may record the timing of presses of a button used to initiate the call, the force used to press the button, or other parameters. The device may analyze the information, or may forward at least some of the information to the call recipient for analysis. When a suspected unintentional call is detected, the device may signal the user of the device, or other actions may be taken.
摘要:
Improved techniques for facilitating emergency access to one or more contacts stored on a portable electronic device are disclosed. One or more contacts on the portable electronic device are designated as emergency contacts. While the portable electronic device is password-locked, a request to display the one or more emergency contacts on the password-locked portable electronic device is received. Without requiring a password, the one or more emergency contacts are displayed on the portable electronic device.
摘要:
A communication device that communicates via a base station through a radio link that includes: a display that displays an inquiry from a plurality of inquiries, a first input, which upon being activated, indicates an agreement in response to the inquiry, a second input, which upon being activated, indicates a disagreement in response to the inquiry, an emergency input, which upon being activated, indicates an emergency situation, a controller that selects and dials the phone number corresponding to the contact name from a plurality of phone numbers corresponding to a plurality of contact names based on the indicated agreement, the indicated disagreement, and the indicated emergency situation, such that the agreement and the disagreement with each inquiry of the plurality of inquiries guides the controller in selecting and dialing the phone number corresponding to the contact name from the plurality of phone numbers.
摘要:
A programmable communicator device is disclosed having a wireless communications circuit, including an antenna, configured to receive a transmission, and an identity module having a unique identifier. The programmable communicator further includes a processing module including program code configured to determine if the transmission is from an authenticated caller by determining whether a received transmission contains the unique identifier, and memory configured to store telephone numbers or IP addresses received in transmissions from an authenticated caller.
