| 20080205365 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COEXISTENCE - A method for coexistence of an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) receiver ( | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090067846 | System and Method for Pre-Configuring and Authenticating Data Communication Links - An electronic device includes a data processor and data communication mechanism for: (a) transmitting, via an optical link, configuration and authentication requests/information for a second data communication link to an external device; and (b) transmitting other content data via the separate, second data communication link that is configured using the configuration data transmitted on the optical link. Data communication on the optical link is provided via modulated optical pulses from an illumination light source of the electronic device. The light source is selectively utilized for illuminating a component in the electronic device and for transmitting configuration/authentication data via optical pulses. An optical receiver also receives optically transmitted configuration/acknowledgement data from the external device. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090111378 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR CONTENT SHARING - Described are methods and devices for automatically coupling two or more mobile communication devices ( | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100105446 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DELAYED ANSWERING OF AN INCOMING CALL - A wireless hands-free device is operable to communicate with a mobile communication device over a short-range wireless link. The hands-free device includes a transceiver, a memory, a delayed answering mode actuator (DAMA), and a processing device. The transceiver is operable to receive incoming call information from the mobile device over the short-range link. The incoming call information corresponds to an incoming call received by the mobile device over a wireless wide area network. The memory is operable to store one or more pre-recorded audio messages. The DAMA is activatable by a user of the hands-free device. The processing device is operable to: detect activation of the DAMA after receipt of the incoming call information, retrieve at least one pre-recorded audio message responsive to detecting activation of the DAMA, and provide the retrieved, pre-recorded audio message(s) to the transceiver for subsequent transmission to the mobile device over the short-range link. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100203832 | Method and Apparatus for Co-Existence of an OFDMA Transmitter with a Synchronous Frame-Based Transmitter - A method and apparatus reduces the likelihood of packet loss when an OFDMA transceiver and synchronous frame-based transceiver are operating on the same device. More specifically, a method protects reception of Bluetooth signals (such as reception of slave device signals) from co-existence interference caused by co-located OFDMA transceiver transmissions. The method receives a transmission-enable (TXE) signal indicating that the OFDMA transceiver is transmitting, determines an estimated transmission-enable (TXE′) signal indicating when the OFDMA transceiver is expected to be transmitting in the future, and sends the TXE′ signal to the Bluetooth transmitter to shut down Bluetooth transmissions when a transmission is expected to be sent from the OFDMA transceiver. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100221999 | METHOD FOR SELECTING CONTENT FOR TRANSFER OR SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN DEVICES - A method, a tap initiator, and tap target in a close proximity communication are disclosed. A tap interface | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100273417 | Establishing Full-Duplex Audio Over an Asynchronous Bluetooth Link - A method to establish a full-duplex audio connection over an asynchronous Bluetooth link between an audio terminal and a wireless audio device exchanges supported service classes and codecs between the audio terminal and the wireless audio device, negotiates a service class and a codec that are common to the audio terminal and the wireless audio device, and establishes an asynchronous audio connection between the audio terminal and the wireless audio device using the common service class and the codec. The audio connection established can depend on the software application desiring the audio connection plus the available service classes and codecs at the audio terminal and wireless audio device. For non-internet protocol (non-IP) audio applications, an ACL using AVDTP may be selected; for IP audio applications, an ACL using BNEP may be selected. Both AVDTP and BNEP can use codecs that support wide bandwidth audio. | 10-28-2010 |
