| 20100029230 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING A TRANSMISSION AT A RECEIVER - An embodiment of the invention may include a method of receiving a transmission at a receiver. The method may include setting a receive window duration for receiving the transmission based on an elapsed time since last receiving a good transmission. The receive window duration may be a nonlinear function of the elapsed time. The method may further include opening a receive window to listen for the transmission for an amount of time equal to the set receive window duration. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100093279 | ELECTRONIC DEVICES FOR COMMUNICATION UTILIZING ENERGY DETECTION AND/OR FREQUENCY SYNTHESIS - An electronic device for communication comprises a processor. The processor comprises a power scan module configured to receive an energy detection signal identifying detection of energy of a page signal or an inquiry signal. The power scan module is further configured to provide, upon receiving the energy detection signal, an instruction to perform a page scan or an inquiry scan. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100316027 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC AND DUAL ANTENNA BLUETOOTH (BT)/WLAN COEXISTENCE - An apparatus and method are disclosed for effectively and efficiently arbitrating concurrent usage between WLAN and Bluetooth access technologies for co-located wireless devices. A state level arbiter determines state and relevant parameters of a WLAN module and of a Bluetooth module of a wireless transceiver unit. The state level arbiter uses the state and relevant parameters to determine which access technology (WLAN or Bluetooth) or combination of the access technologies (WLAN or Bluetooth) will provide the best concurrent performance for wireless transmissions at a given time for specific Bluetooth states and WLAN states. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110018731 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMMUNICATING CONTROL INFORMATION BY A WEARABLE DEVICE TO CONTROL MOBILE AND CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A method for communicating control information by a wearable device is disclosed. The method includes determining a first movement according to a first degree of freedom as being gesture-related and a second movement according to a second degree of freedom as being gesture-related; generating a first set of possibly performed gestures based on the first movement; generating a second set of possibly performed gestures based on the second movement; inferring, from the first and second sets, whether the first movement is representative of an intended command; and transmitting information based on the inference. An apparatus for performing the method is also disclosed. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110018794 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE AND CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES - Various methods for controlling a device is disclosed including dynamically selecting a set of mappings defining how a gesture made by a movement of at least one wearable item will be interpreted as one or more commands; determining whether the gesture has a mapping in the set of mappings; and translating the gesture into a command for the device based on the determination. Interpreting movements of a wearable item as gestures associated with a command to control a controlled device is also disclosed that includes sensing a movement of the wearable item in context as being indicative of a gesture relating to the command based on the first context. A method for communicating control information by a wearable device is further disclosed including determining an agreed upon set of control gestures between first and second devices, wherein the control gestures are performable using the first device and are supportable by the second device; and participating in a control sequence to control the second device via a wireless transmission corresponding to at least one of the control gestures to be performed using the first device. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110022196 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTED USER INTERFACES USING WEARABLE DEVICES TO CONTROL MOBILE AND CONSUMER ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A method for controlling a controlled device with a device wearable on a portion of a body is disclosed. The method includes detecting relative movement between the wearable device and the portion of the body; and generating an indication of the relative movement for use in controlling the controlled device. A method for controlling a controlled device with a device wearable on a portion of a body is also disclosed. The method includes receiving a message indicating a relative movement between the wearable device and the portion of the body; and generating an action to control the controlled device based on a command associated with the relative movement. Apparatuses for performing the methods are disclosed herein as well. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110249603 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTIPLE WIRELESS SERVICE COEXISTENCE - An apparatus and method for multiple wireless service coexistence comprising: engaging a first switch to connect a first service transmitter to an antenna through a first filter path and to disconnect a first service receiver from the antenna; engaging a second switch to connect a second service receiver to the antenna through a second filter path and to disconnect a second service transmitter from the antenna; enabling transmit power control on the first service transmitter; and performing one or both of the following: a) transmitting a first service transmit signal through the first filter path to the antenna with high rejection of the band of a second service; b) receiving a second service receive signal through the second filter path from the antenna with high rejection of the band of a first service. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20120030357 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO FACILITATE VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION AND COEXISTENCE MANAGER DECISIONS - A system and method to facilitate voice activity detection and coexistence manager decisions is provided and include identifying a connection utilizing a first resource and a content stream corresponding to the connection, where the first resource conflicts with a second resource. The content of the content stream is classified into multiple levels based on a value of the content and then a priority is assigned to the first and second resources based on the level of the content of the first resource. | 02-02-2012 |
