20080227427 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY SITUATION FROM A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and system for responding to an emergency situation from a mobile communication device ( | 09-18-2008 |
20080248777 | Apparatus and method for communicating in a high noise, multiple-recipient environment - An apparatus and method for communicating in a high noise, multiple-recipient environment, such as a convoy or other collection of vehicles or personnel operating in adverse conditions. A plurality of user terminals is provided. For example, each vehicle in a military convoy may be provided with a user terminal. The user terminals each comprise a commercial, off-the-shelf processor capable of running a commercially available operating system and at least one software program that uses predefined icons to communicate information to other users, as described further below. Users can select a message icon by which a message corresponding to the icon may be sent to all other users. The message is sent from the user terminal to a communications control unit associated with that user terminal via a communications link. The communications control unit, among other functions, compiles the message to be sent into a desired format for transmission. From the communications control unit the message is sent via an RF modem and communications link to an RF antenna from which it is transmitted. | 10-09-2008 |
20090004996 | PTT architecture - A communication system comprising: at least one first communication device configured to communicate in half duplex mode using a first encoding-decoding format; at least one second communication device configured to communicate in half duplex mode using a second encoding-decoding format; a third communication device configured to communicate in half duplex mode using the first format; a fourth communication device configured to communicate in half duplex mode using the second format; wherein the third and fourth communication devices are configured to communicate with each other in half duplex mode using a third encoding decoding format. | 01-01-2009 |
20090023417 | MULTIPLE INTERACTIVE MODES FOR USING MULTIPLE EARPIECES LINKED TO A COMMON MOBILE HANDSET - The present invention discloses a mobile communication system that includes a mobile handset and at least two wireless earpieces. The mobile handset can be configured to conduct voice communications with remotely located devices over a mobile telephony network. The wireless earpieces can be configured to be communicatively linked to the mobile handset and to exchange audio with the mobile handset. The mobile handset can enables multiple interactive modes involving the wireless earpieces. At least one of the interactive modes can involve a single individual concurrently using the plurality of wireless earpieces. For example, one of the interactive modes can be a stereo audio mode. At least one of the interactive modes can involve two or more proximately located individuals, where each of the proximate individuals uses one of the wireless earpieces. For example, the interactive modes can include an intercom mode and/or a three-way calling mode. | 01-22-2009 |
20090042532 | DETERMINING A RECEIVING QUALITY IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A radio communication device including a receiver configured to receive radio signals, a measurement circuit configured to measure the receiving quality of received radio signals, and a controller configured to control the measurement circuit such that a first measurement is carried out using a first frequency bandwidth, thereby determining a first receiving quality, and if the determined first receiving quality fulfills a first receiving quality criterion, a second measurement is carried out using a second frequency bandwidth, wherein the second frequency bandwidth is larger than the first frequency bandwidth, thereby determining a second receiving quality. | 02-12-2009 |
20090325534 | Self-test method for a vehicular telematics unit - A self-test methodology verifies the satisfactory operation of an installed vehicular telematics unit using a signal processor of the telematics unit. The test can be initiated at any time by a vehicle occupant or a remote call center. When testing is initiated, the telematics unit places a cellular call to the call center or a phone simulator, which generates a test tone that is reproduced in the vehicle cabin through the audio output and loudspeaker of the telematics unit. The telematics unit uses its microphone input to sample the reproduced tone, and a signal processor within the telematics unit analyzes the sampled tone by performing a SINAD or equivalent calculation. The test evaluates the sound quality of the telematics unit and verifies operability of the antenna, phone, audio and microphone components. | 12-31-2009 |
20100203861 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATIONAL MODE THEREOF - The present invention may include a communication unit and a camera unit, and there may be provided a portable electronic device configured to activate the camera unit in a state that a first mode of the communication unit is activated and a second mode thereof is deactivated. | 08-12-2010 |
20110081881 | Feature Management of a Communication Device - A system and method for the real-time management of a device, and more particularly to the establishment and enforcement of policies or rules associated with the feature or functions that may be performed with the device. Modern communication devices are capable of many things, including making and receiving calls, exchanging data, playing games and music, sending and receiving email, accessing web sites, and paying for goods and services. Depending on who is using the communication device, such as a child or an employee, there may be a need or desire to regulate how that communication device can be used and to determine who will pay for what goods or services. In addition to providing all of the features associated with a device, service providers need to be able to establish and enforce rules (policies) regulating how and when that device can be used and who will pay for a good or service requested by the user of the device. | 04-07-2011 |
20120094626 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING DATA - An electronic device and a method for transmitting data are disclosed. A network interface receives identification information to identify a communicating end from a mobile communication terminal. A controller acquires communicating end information based on the received identification information. A display displays the acquired communicating end information and at least one service area. | 04-19-2012 |
20120289178 | FEMTO BASE STATION, ENERGY-SAVING COORDINATION NODE, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A Femto base station which is arranged to connect to a wireless communication network and to generate a first cell for providing a wireless communication service to at least one user equipment existing within a coverage area of the first cell, comprising a transceiver comprising a transmitter and a receiver for the wireless communication with the user equipment and a controller, wherein the controller determines whether the Femto base station has entered an energy-saving mode or not, the controller disables the operation of the transmitter when it is determined that the base station has entered the energy-saving mode, and when the receiver detects a data transmission from the user equipment to a macro base station after disabling the operation of the transmitter, the controller reconfigures the transmitter. The macro base station generates a second cell with a broader coverage than the first cell and including the first cell. | 11-15-2012 |
20130029628 | UNDERWATER VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An underwater communications system is provided that transmits electromagnetic and/or magnetic signals to a remote receiver. The transmitter includes a data input. A digital data compressor compresses data to be transmitted. A modulator modulates compressed data onto a carrier signal. An electrically insulated, magnetic coupled antenna transmits the compressed, modulated signals. The receiver that has an electrically insulated, magnetic coupled antenna for receiving a compressed, modulated signal. A demodulator is provided for demodulating the signal to reveal compressed data. A de-compressor de-compresses the data.
