Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110051660METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACQUISITION OF NEIGHBOUR CELL INFORMATION - A system and method for acquisition of neighbour cell information are provided. A serving cell receives a request for neighbour cell system information, and in response to the request, the serving cell transmits neighbour cell system information.03-03-2011
20110053586RADIO LINK TIMEOUT PROCEDURE FOR CALL RE-ESTABLISHMENT - A radio link timeout procedure for call re-establishment is provided. A mobile station receives signals over a wireless link, determines whether there is a potential call re-establishment as defined by at least one condition, and decides whether radio link failure has occurred on the basis of the signals received over the wireless link such that while there is a potential for call re-establishment as defined by the at least one condition, a decision that a radio link failure has occurred is made earlier than if there is no potential for call re-establishment.03-03-2011
20110053595ACCESS PROCEDURE FOR CALL RE-ESTABLISHMENT - An access procedure for call re-establishment is provided. In a first method, a mobile station, in at least some instances of detecting radio link failure, attempts call re-establishment on multiple cells concurrently. In a second method, a mobile station performs a first random access channel procedure when the mobile station is not aware of at least two cells with enabled call re-establishment, and performs a second random access channel procedure when the mobile station is aware of at least two cells with enabled call re-establishment.03-03-2011
20110080350METHOD OF SYNCHRONIZING DATA ACQUISITION AND A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONFIGURED TO PERFORM THE SAME - A method of synchronizing force data with touch data and a portable electronic device configured to perform the same are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method of synchronizing data acquisition in a portable electronic device, the method comprising: detecting touch events on a touch-sensitive display and storing touch data for each touch event with a time stamp for the touch event; detecting force events on the touch-sensitive display and storing force data for each force event with a time stamp for the force event; matching touch data for a particular touch event with force data for a force event corresponding to the particular touch event; and outputting the matched touch data and force data for input processing operations.04-07-2011
20110084910PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes detecting a plurality of touches on a touch-sensitive display, collecting applied force values, determined by at least one force sensor, for the plurality of touches, and changing a first threshold value based on the collected applied force values.04-14-2011
20110084911PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes detecting first and second touches on the touch-sensitive display and determining a location of each of the first and second touches, determining, by a plurality of force sensors, reaction forces, for the first and second touches, and determining a respective applied force for each of the first and second touches based on the reaction forces and the locations of the first and second touches.04-14-2011
20110084912PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING A TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes detecting a touch on a first touch-sensitive display, applying force by an actuator on a touch-sensitive display to simulate depression of a switch, and storing a first indicator of depression simulation for the first touch.04-14-2011
20110084932PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes receiving signals from force-sensing resistors, detecting a touch on a touch-sensitive display and determining a location of the touch, receiving, from force-sensing resistors, signals related to the touch, and calibrating the force-sensing resistors by adjusting the gain for a first force-sensing resistor, of the force-sensing resistors, based on at least the signals and the location of the touch.04-14-2011
20110105096SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACTIVATING A COMPONENT ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - The disclosure describes a system and method for activating an electronic device from a low power state. The method comprises: monitoring a motion detection circuit for a signal indicating a movement of the device; analyzing the movement of the device and if the movement matches a profile for an activation movement for the device then activating a component on the device; and if the movement does not match the profile, then monitoring for additional movement signals for the device and providing data relating to the additional movement signals to a microprocessor in the device at an instance where the microprocessor is expected to be monitoring for receipt of a synchronization signal from a network in communication with the device is expected and when the instance is passed, the device is placed in second power operating mode, the second power operating mode consuming less power than the first power operating mode.05-05-2011
20110105120METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR A CHANNEL TO DETERMINE NEIGHBOR CELL INFORMATION - Methods and apparatus to monitor a channel to determine neighbor cell information are disclosed. An example method for a first mobile station to determine cell information for a first cell disclosed herein comprises monitoring a channel for messages containing cell information, receiving a first message via the monitored channel and addressed to a second mobile station, the first message including first cell information, and storing the first cell information for a time period after receiving the first message.05-05-2011
20110105158METHODS AND APPARATUS TO AVOID TRANSMISSION OF REDUNDANT NEIGHBOR CELL INFORMATION TO MOBILE STATIONS - Methods and apparatus to avoid transmission of redundant neighbor cell information to mobile stations. An example method to avoid transmission of at least some neighbor cell system information from a network to a mobile station disclosed herein comprises receiving neighbor cell system information, setting a validity indication representing whether the mobile station has valid neighbor cell system information associated with a neighbor cell, and sending the validity indication to the network.05-05-2011
20110134908SINGLE SLOT DTM FOR SPEECH/DATA TRANSMISSION - The present document relates to radio transmission. In particular, the present document relates to the single-slot dual transfer mode (DTM) available e.g. in GSM/GPRS/GERAN networks. A transmitter is described. The transmitter is configured to send circuit switched data over a traffic channel to a corresponding receiver, wherein the traffic channel is segmented into a plurality of frames. The transmitter if further configured to determine a vacant frame of the plurality of frames, wherein no circuit switched data is sent in the vacant frame due to discontinuous transmission; and to send packet switched data over the traffic channel using the vacant frame.06-09-2011
