Abstract:
The invention concerns a method (300) and electronic device (100) for the selective transfer of data from a removable memory element (110). The electronic device can include a port (120) that can receive the removable memory element, a memory (116) that can selectively store data from the removable memory element and a processor (114) that can be coupled to the port and the memory. The processor can be programmed to detect (316) a removal event in which the removal event can provide an indication that the removal of the removable memory element is about to occur and in response to the detection, selectively transfer (318) data from the removable memory element to the memory. The processor can be further programmed to transfer data from the removable memory element to the memory only if the data has been used by an application of the electronic device.

Abstract:
A mobile communication device contains event descriptor files that define certain detectable parameters indicative of the occurrence of an event. When the mobile communication device has determined that an event has occurred, the mobile communication device proceeds to send a status message to a preselected party, indicating to the preselected party that the user of the mobile communication device has experienced the event. A wide variety of events may be described and detected, such as arrival at a particular geographic location. The mobile communication device may prompt the user before sending the status message, and may further require the user to verify the user's identity by an authentication procedure.
Abstract:
A method is provided for adjusting power consumption in a device 200. According to the method, a command 400 to enter a low power mode is received, and, in response to receiving the command 400, at least one operating mode of the device 200 is adjusted so as to enter a low power operating mode. In one embodiment, the at least one operating mode that is adjusted includes at least one of a quality of service setting, a vocoding ratio, a BER threshold that initiates background scanning, a frequency of monitoring other communications networks, a definition of a function key, an operating mode of a display, a resolution of a display, a sensor, a CPU clock speed, and an alert time.
Abstract:
A subscriber device (10) includes one or more sensors (102) for measuring an object electromagnetic characteristic, such as conductivity, permittivity or permeability. A controller (104) stores the object electromagnetic parameter in memory (106) and, operating in accordance with a performance enhancement routine stored in the memory (106), enhances operation of the subscriber device (10) in accordance with the electromagnetic parameter. The controller (104) may do this by adjusting the power of an amplifier (112), the frequency of a synthesizer (114) or the impedance of an antenna (110). A software program controlling the subscriber device and a corresponding method are described.

A system, method and computer readable medium for communicating data over a voice channel on a wireless device ( 300 ) is disclosed. The method on a wireless device ( 300 ) includes establishing an audio connection with a second device and providing an interface ( 326 ) for a user for sending data to the second device. The method further includes detecting the activation of the interface ( 326 ) by the user and sending a first data to the second device during the audio connection with the second device, wherein the quality of the audio connection is not affected by the sending. The method further includes receiving a second data from the second device, the second data being associated with the first data and preferably synchronizing the first data with the second data. Information, such as Vcard information, can be wirelessly exchanged between devices communicating data over a voice channel during an audio connection.
