20100279743 | ASSEMBLY FOR A SOUND REPRODUCTION APPARATUS INCLUDED WITH A COMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF USING THE ASSEMBLY - There is provided an assembly for a sound reproduction apparatus included with a communications apparatus. The assembly includes a ear bud earphone that anchors to a ear of a user when the earphone is inserted into a ear canal of the ear of the user; a cable of the ear bud earphone, a portion of the cable being attached to a reel axle onto which the cable is windable, the reel axle being connected to a revolution counter which tracks a number of revolutions of the reel axle in a first direction, the revolution counter being reset to zero when the cable is fully wound onto the reel axle; with a first end of the cable being functionally connected to the communications apparatus to enable sound signals to be reproduced in the ear bud earphone. The functional connection to the communications apparatus may be either via a solder joint or a detachable connector. A corresponding method of using the assembly is also disclosed. | 2010-11-04 |
20100279744 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING POWER CONSUMPTION OF A TRANSCEIVER - Systems and methods for managing power consumption of a transceiver, e.g., Bluetooth, are provided. A representative transceiver includes an antenna that receives analog radio frequency (RF) signals, and a RF analog circuitry that receives and processes the analog RF signals from the antenna. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) receives and converts the processed analog RF signals to digital RF signals. A digital circuitry includes a RF power detector that receives the digital RF signals and determines a RF power of the analog RF signals from the antenna based on the digital RF signals. A computing device instructs the RF analog circuitry to operate in low current drain RF receiver mode during page scanning and/or inquiry scanning. The computing device is designed to receive the RF power of the received analog RF signals and manages the power consumption of the transceiver based on the RF power. | 2010-11-04 |
