| 20090278490 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE POWER MANAGEMENT OF OPERATIVELY CONNECTED BATTERIES RESPECTIVELY ON A HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND A HOLDER FOR THE HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A handheld electronic device in conjunction with a holder for the handheld electronic device that together form an electronic device. The handheld electronic device includes a first battery and the holder includes a second battery and a charging apparatus. When the handheld electronic device and the holder are electrically connected together, such as when the handheld electronic device is received in a cavity formed in the holder the charging apparatus charges the first battery on the handheld electronic device from the second battery on the holder when the first battery charge has been depleted to a given level and the second battery charge is above a second given level. Alternatively, if the first battery charge is above a third given level the first battery charges the second battery if the second battery is not fully charged. | 11-12-2009 |

The handheld electronic device includes a first battery and the holder includes a second battery and a charging apparatus. When the handheld electronic device and the holder are electrically connected together, such as when the handheld electronic device is received in a cavity formed in the holder the charging apparatus charges the first battery on the handheld electronic device from the second battery on the holder when the first battery charge has been depleted to a given level and the second battery charge is above a second given level. Alternatively, if the first battery charge is above a third given level the first battery charges the second battery if the second battery is not fully charged. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110063104 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, INCLUDING HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH INTELLIGENT HOLSTER - A handheld electronic device that includes a first battery and a holster that includes a second battery and a charging apparatus. When the handheld electronic device and the holster are electrically connected together, the charging apparatus charges the first battery on the handheld electronic device from the second battery on the holster when the first battery charge has been depleted to a given level and the second battery charge is above a second given level. Alternatively, if the first battery charge is above a third given level the first battery charges the second battery if the second battery is not fully charged. The holster further includes a microcontroller that communicates with a microprocessor on the handheld electronic device to identify alerts and activate a notification device powered by the second battery on the holster. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20080266261 | Keystroke Error Correction Method - An electronic device and method of correcting keystroke errors in which a sequence of characters entered by actuating text character keys on a keyboard is checked against at least one database to determine if there is at least one word in the at least one database that begins with the sequence of words. Where no such words are found in the at least one database, a table of text character key locations is accessed to locate text character keys adjacent to each of the text character keys actuated to enter the sequence of characters, and one at a time, each character of the sequence of characters is substituted with a character corresponding to a text character key found to be adjacent to the text character key corresponding to the substituted characters, thereby creating one or more alternate sequences of characters. The alternate sequences of characters are checked against the at least one database to determine if there is at least one word in the at least one database that begins with any of the alternate sequences of characters. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090096417 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE, INCLUDING HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH INTELLIGENT HOLSTER - A handheld electronic device that includes a first battery and a holster that includes a second battery and a charging apparatus. When the handheld electronic device and the holster are electrically connected together, the charging apparatus charges the first battery on the handheld electronic device from the second battery on the holster when the first battery charge has been depleted to a given level and the second battery charge is above a second given level. Alternatively, if the first battery charge is above a third given level the first battery charges the second battery if the second battery is not fully charged. The holster further includes a microcontroller that communicates with a microprocessor on the handheld electronic device to identify alerts and activate a notification device powered by the second battery on the holster. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100090957 | LIGHT ASSISTED KEYBOARD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A mobile communication device having a keyboard with a set of keys representing alpha-numeric characters, the keyboard comprising a light source, located within said mobile communication device; for providing a light; a set of sensors, associated with said keys, for sensing an amount of said light in a vicinity of each of said set of sensors, to determine which of said set of keys has been selected; and a transparent flat cover, overlying said set of sensors, displaying said set of alpha-numeric characters, for associating said set of alpha-numeric characters with said set of sensors. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20110018501 | TEMPERATURE-BASED CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CONTROL FOR A BATTERY - A protection circuit for a battery pack, comprising: a thermistor for indicating a temperature of a cell in the battery pack; a first comparator coupled to the thermistor for determining whether the temperature has exceeded a charge cut-off temperature threshold for the cell, and if so, for turning off a first switch in series with the cell to prevent charging of the cell; and, a second comparator coupled to the thermistor for determining whether the temperature has exceeded a discharge cut-off temperature threshold for the cell, and if so, for turning off a second switch in series with the cell to prevent discharging of the cell. | 01-27-2011 |
