20130143548 | Apparatus and method in mobile telecommunications system user equipment - A method and apparatus in a user equipment is described, the method comprising, at the user equipment: receiving data from a cell in a wireless network; if reading of the data is unsuccessful, determining a signal quality metric for a signal received from the cell; and when reading of the data is unsuccessful and when the signal quality metric meets a criterion, initiating a procedure associated with cells for which reading of the data is unsuccessful. | 06-06-2013 |
20130078974 | METHOD AND MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE FOR GENERATING DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (DTMF) COMMANDS ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING A TOUCHSCREEN - A method and mobile communication device for generating dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) commands on a mobile communication device having a touchscreen are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method for generating dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) commands on a mobile communication device having a touchscreen, comprising: detecting an automated attendant during a telephone call; activating speech recognition in respect of incoming voice data during the telephone call in response to detecting an automated attendant; translating spoken prompts in the incoming voice data into respective DTMF commands; displaying a menu having selectable menu options corresponding to the DTMF commands in a graphical user interface on the touchscreen; receiving input selecting one of the menu options; receiving input via the touchscreen activating a selected one of the menu options; and generating a DTMF command in accordance with the activated menu option. | 03-28-2013 |
20120032640 | HOLSTER-INTEGRATED PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY SOURCE FOR HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A holster for a handheld electronic device. The holster has integrated therein one or more piezoelectric elements that provide an output voltage to the handheld electronic device upon insertion of device in the holster. The output voltage can be used to charge the battery of the device, to power, at least in part, the device, or both. The output voltage is generated by harvesting vibration energy at the piezoelectric elements upon the holster being subjected to acceleration caused by a user carrying the holster when walking, running, or during any other suitable activity. | 02-09-2012 |
20110260984 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TACTILE TOUCH-SENSITIVE INPUT DEVICE - An electronic device includes a base, a touch-sensitive input surface spaced from and moveable relative to the base, and an actuating arrangement between the base and the touch-sensitive input surface. The actuating arrangement is arranged to vary a force on the touch-sensitive input surface in response to detection of a touch event on the touch-sensitive input surface. The actuating arrangement includes an actuator including a piezoelectric disk coupled to a substrate that includes an elastically deformable truncated disk. | 10-27-2011 |
20100220865 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A MAXIMUM SIGNAL LEVEL OUTPUT TO HEADPHONES COUPLED TO A WIRELESS DEVICE - A method for controlling a maximum signal level output to headphones of a wireless device is provided. The method includes: determining an impedance of the headphones; determining a carrier specific maximum signal level for headphones having the impedance; and, adjusting an audio amplifier of the wireless device coupled to the headphones to restrict the maximum signal level output to the headphones to the carrier specific maximum signal level. | 09-02-2010 |
20100195605 | Discontinuous Reception Start Offset Coordinated with Semi-Persistent Scheduling System and Method - A user agent comprising a processor enabled to configure the user agent to adjust a discontinuous reception (DRX) start offset when a downlink assignment is one of configured and reconfigured. The DRX start offset is adjusted to satisfy the equation | 08-05-2010 |
