Patent No: US 7,081,874

Portable display device and method utilizing embedded still image buffer to facilitate full motion video playback

More Info

US 7,081,874: Portable display device and method utilizing embedded still image buffer to facilitate full motion video playback

A portable display device includes an LCD display module that includes an embedded still image buffer, and external processing circuitry and associated processor memory, wherein the processor memory receives decoded motion video as pixel data from a video decoder, while the data from the embedded still image memory is displayed on an LCD display. When a completely decoded frame of video is stored in the memory, the processing circuitry turns an external pixel transfer clock signal on and transfers the decoded frame from the memory to the embedded image buffer in the LCD display module. When the transfer of the decoded frame is complete, an end of frame indication signal is generated and the processing circuitry turns off the external pixel transfer clock signal to the LCD display module.

Bandwidth efficient digital voice communication system and method

More Info

Patent No: US 7,269,561: Bandwidth efficient digital voice communication system and method

A bandwidth efficient digital voice communication system can include a speech-to-text converter for converting a voice signal to a text representation, a speech parameter extractor for extracting user identifiable parameters from a voice signal, and a text-to-speech converter for converting the text representation and the user identifiable parameters from the voice signal in real time. The user identifiable parameters can be among pitch rate, gain, fundamental frequency, and formats. The speech-to-text converter can further include a text to phoneme segmentation module providing flags to indicate a plurality of phoneme boundaries, an automatic phonetic segmentation module coupled to the text to phoneme segmentation module and the speech parameter extractor, and a voice parameter manager for receiving the text representation, the flags indicative of the plurality of phoneme boundaries, and the user identifiable parameters from the voice signal.

Controlling wireless mobile devices from a remote device

More Info

Patent No: US 7,277,726: Controlling wireless mobile devices from a remote device

A method of remotely controlling a wireless mobile device can include the step of establishing a communication channel between the wireless mobile device and a remotely located controlling device. At least one operation can be performed using an interface of the controlling device. Packetized data based upon the at least one operation can be conveyed across the communication channel. An indicator can be presented upon the wireless mobile device to indicate the device is being remotely controlled. A programmatic action can be performed upon the wireless mobile device responsive to the receipt to the packetized data.

Patent No: US 7,369,119

Handset device with dual side joystick

More Info

Patent No: US 7,369,119: Handset device with dual side joystick

An electronic device contains a first joystick mechanism and a second joystick mechanism, each joystick mechanism extending outside of substantially opposed outer surfaces of the electronic device's casing. When a directional mechanical force is applied to one joystick mechanism, at least one of a plurality of switches (410) may be engaged. The joystick mechanisms are electrically coupled, and each mechanism will provide the same functionality. The joystick mechanisms may be further mechanically coupled, whereby applying a directional mechanical force on one joystick mechanism will move the other joystick mechanism in the opposite direction. Additionally, the joystick mechanisms may contain a sensor capacitvely coupled to a conductive end cap to detect from which side of the electronic device a joystick mechanism is being moved.

Patent No: US 7,558,590

Method and system for multiparty calling using a dual mode phone with private call

More Info

Patent No: US 7,558,590: Method and system for multiparty calling using a dual mode phone with private call

A method and system for multiparty communication using at least one dual mode communication device includes a dual mode radio having at least a first modem for operation on a first network and a second modem for operation on a second network and a processor coupled to the radio. The dual mode radio can be programmed to establish an interconnect call on a first network between the dual mode radio and a second communication device, receive a request for a private call on a second network from a third communication device, and mix and route audio from the private call and the interconnect call at the dual mode radio when a multiparty call mode is selectively chosen. The dual mode radio can be a first modem operating on a CDMA network and a second modem operating on an iDEN network.

Method and system for call reverse

More Info

Patent No: US 7,885,394: Method and system for call reverse

A method and system of call reverse can include initiating a call by an originating party to a terminating party, comparing rate plans, and automatically reversing the call if a rate plan for the terminating party is currently more economical than a rate plan for the originating party. The method can compare rate plans at a server having rate plan information for the parties. Alternatively, the method can send rate plan information for the originating to the terminating party and compare rate plans at the terminating party. The method can pre-store rate plan information for the originating party at a memory at the terminating party. The method can also use Caller ID to detect a call from the originating party and compare pre-stored rate plan information for the originating party stored at the terminating party.

Automated communication using image capture

More Info

US 7,925,293: Automated communication using image capture

A method of communicating that can include, responsive to receiving an image, automatically processing the image to associate the image with a contact, and communicating the image to the contact. Receiving the image can include capturing the image with an image capture device. The method also can include associating a message with the image, and automatically communicating the message with the image. At least one image attribute can be associated with the contact. In such an arrangement, processing the image can include identifying at least one feature of the image that corresponds to the image attribute. Responsive to identifying that a feature of the image corresponds to the image attribute, the message can be automatically associated with the image.

Automated communication using image capture

Morfe Info

US 8,249,646: Automated communication using image capture

A server includes a communications adapter; a controller and a datastore. The controller receives a first user input via a user interface to associate at least one image attribute with a contact. Thereby, responsive to receiving an image from an electronic apparatus, the controller automatically processes the image to identify at least one feature of the image that corresponds to the image attribute, and associates the image with the contact based on the image attribute; and communicates the image to the contact via the communications adapter. The datastore is suitable for storing digital information, and is communicatively coupled to the controller.

User interface that reflects social attributes in user notifications

More Info

US 8,369,489: User interface that reflects social attributes in user notifications

A method for providing an audio message. The method can include detecting at least one external parameter. Detecting the external parameter can include detecting a time, a location or a station identifier. Detecting the location can include receiving a signal from a network node or a beacon, or receiving location information from a positioning system. In one arrangement, detecting the external parameter can include detecting a plurality of identifiers, such as a time, a location and/or a station identifier. The external parameter can be processed to identify at least one audio attribute associated with a voice persona. An audio message then can be generated based, at least in part, on the audio attribute. Identifying the audio attribute can include identifying at least a second audio attribute associated with a background sound.
