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:
Un dispositivo de comunicaciones inalámbricas (200) apto para regular la renovacion de mensajes del contexto de un receptor de una respuesta de mensajes puede incluir un transceptor (202) y un procesador (206) acoplado al transceptor. El transceptor puede programarse para determinar (312) si una respuesta de mensaje está vencida segun el contexto de su receptor y enviar (318) una solicitud de una segunda respuesta de mensaje, si se determina que la respuesta de mensaje está vencida. El dispositivo de comunicaciones puede programarse además para determinar si la respuesta de mensaje está vencida, determinando si la misma se envía después de un tiempo predeterminado desde la recepcion de la respuesta de mensaje o si se envía después de un tiempo estimado transcurrido desde la solicitud de la respuesta de mensaje.
Abstract:
A communication system ( 10 ) for providing dynamic management of a plurality of contacts ( 215 ) includes a messaging server ( 120 ) and a plurality of communication devices ( 75 ). The messaging server ( 120 ) dynamically manages the plurality of contacts ( 215 ) for each messaging user ( 205 ) by using a plurality of contact information ( 225 ) for each contact ( 220 ) and a plurality of user settings ( 210 ) of the messaging user ( 205 ) to determine a current priority setting ( 280 ) for the contact ( 220 ). Each of the plurality of communication devices ( 75 ) are used by at least one messaging user ( 205 ) for receiving the plurality of contacts ( 215 ) and the plurality of contact information ( 225 ) from the messaging server ( 120 ).
Abstract:
An electronic information processing device (110) includes a transceiver (215), a CPU (120), and a display (225). The transceiver (215) receives one or more messages from at least one communication device (60) and transmits one or more messages to the at least one communication device (60). The CPU (120) is coupled to the transceiver (215) for processing the received and transmitted messages. The display (225) is coupled to the CPU (120). The display (225) includes a first screen layout (229) including a screen saver graphic, and a second screen layout (237) including a two way messaging interface window (240) for displaying the received and transmitted messages. The CPU (120) activates the second screen layout (237) for two way messaging communication with at least one information processing device user.

Abstract:
A method for providing continuity between a plurality of messaging clients (14, 20, 26, 250, 252) of a messaging communication system (10, 170) comprises establishing (388) a first communication connection between a first messaging client (14) and a message server (172), accumulating (400) a plurality of client data that includes session history data for the first communication connection, transferring (436) the plurality of client data from the first messaging client (14) directly to a second messaging client (20), and establishing (412) a second communication connection including the plurality of client data between the second messaging client (20) and the message server (172).
Abstract:
A time diversity communication system (150) comprises a messaging terminal (154), a queue (156) at the messaging terminal for queuing incoming messages, an encoder (158) for encoding a first fragment of a message and the remaining fragments of a message, a transmitter (160) for repeatedly transmitting the first fragment in a plurality of time slots to at least one selective call receiver (201) operating in a first mode, the number of time slots equaling a desired number of repeat transmissions and wherein the first fragment contains instructions for decoding the remaining fragments in a second mode by the selective call receiver, the transmitter (160) also repeatedly transmits the remaining portions of the message in subsequent time slots and at least one selective call receiver that decodes the first fragment and remaining fragments of the message in accordance with instructions in the decoded first fragment.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of tracking objects. In the method, an anchor beacon can emit a broadcast over a range that is detectable by an object tracking device. The object tracking device can automatically detect a presence or absence of the broadcast. When the broadcast is present, the object tracking device can take no action. When the broadcast is absent, the object tracking device can determine a current location for the object tracking device and can convey an OTA communication to a tracking server. The OTA communication can indicate the absence of the broadcast and can also including the current location. The tracking server can selectively send a notification to a previously designated communication device to notify a user that the object tracking device is outside the range.
