Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for power conservation of a hardware module (142) which is coupleable to a portable electronic device (100). The hardware module (142) has unique identification information associated therewith and stored therein. The unique identification information is provided periodically (308) to the portable electronic device (100) and stored therein (207). To conserve power, the portable electronic device (100) sends a power-down notice (212) to the hardware module (142), the module controller (144) stores current state information of the hardware module (142) in a non-volatile memory (146) thereof, and the hardware module (142) is powered off (214).

Abstract:
A method for requesting location information, for example, Enhanced Observed Time of Arrival timing information, from mobile wireless communications in wireless communications networks. The exemplary location request (300) includes multiple response interval field (310) specifying intervals at which multiple responses to the location request must be sent or maximum intervals between which multiple responses to the location request must be sent, a final response time field (320) specifying a maximum time interval during which a final response to the location request must be sent, and an initial response time field (330) specifying when an initial response to the location request must be sent.
Abstract:
A communication device (101) includes a display (103) screen for displaying images to a user; an image input (105) for detecting and capturing a series of images, including a prior image and subsequent images; and a processor (107). The processor (107) is configured to facilitate receiving, from the image input (105), the series of images; to facilitate displaying images received from a receiver (111) on the display (103) screen; and to facilitate determining whether the subsequent images have changed in a pre-determined manner from the prior images. A window can be provided on the display, for example to display the series of images from the image input (105). The presence or absence of the window is controlled by a determination that the subsequent images have changed in the pre-determined manner from prior images. When the images are changed, the window is deployed on the display, and when the images are stable, the window is removed from the display.
