International Classification:

H04Q 7/24

US Classification:

370338000

Abstract:

A device, method, and system for communicating with at least one target wireless device are disclosed. The method includes initiating, by an originating wireless device (), a communication using a first communication service with a target wireless device (). The originating wireless device () determines that the target wireless device () is unavailable for the communication with the originating wireless device. In response to this determination, the originating wireless device () communicates with the target wireless device () by at initiating a communication using the second communication service with the second multi-mode wireless device (); transmitting a voicemail message associated with the second multi-mode wireless () device using the second communication service; or transmitting a voice message using the first communication service, wherein the voice message is stored locally on the target wireless device ().

International Classification:

H04B 1/38

US Classification:

455567000

Abstract:

A mobile communication device () has a plurality of associated ringers for alerting a user to the occurrence of an incoming call (). The mobile communication device rings a first ringer () for a predetermined number of rings or for a predetermined duration. If the call is not answered while ringing the first ringer, the mobile communication device uses other ringers. Each other ringer is associated with an audio device for the user to listen to call audio. Upon answering the call (), the mobile communication device routes the call audio to the audio device associated with the ringer that was ringing when the user answered the call ().

International Classification:

H04J 3/08

US Classification:

370315

Abstract:

A method () and system ( or ) for delaying a push to connect channel establishment () in a mobile device () includes a first transceiver () having an optional streaming data channel () established, a second transceiver () for establishing the push to connect channel establishment, and a processor () operatively coupled to the first and second transceivers. The processor can be programmed to delay () the push to connect channel establishment upon initiation of a push-to-connect request signal (), halt () the streaming data channel (), and establish () the push to connect channel. The processor can further add () a synchronous connection (SCO) () before establishing the push to connect channel and after halting the streaming data channel. The streaming data channel can be an asynchronous stereo connection using A2DP and the synchronous connection can be a synchronous connection using a hands-free audio profile (HFP).

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555753

Abstract:

A portable device has a main body portion () and a flip portion (). The flip portion is moveable between a closed position () and an open position (). The position of the flip portion is detected by a position detecting circuit (). When the flip portion is moved in a pre-defined or prescribed manner, the device identifies the movement as user input for adjusting or controlling operation of the device.

International Classification:

H04M 3/42
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

455415, 4555501, 4554141

Abstract:

A mobile communication device () and method () for routing content between the mobile communication device and one or more other mobile communication devices, including mobile communication accessory devices, based on information within or associated with the content, such as caller identification (caller ID) information, and/or based on the available mobile communication devices connected to or associated with the mobile communication device. The method includes receiving content, such as audio content, reading caller ID information or other information associated with the content, determining which devices, including accessory devices, are connected to or associated with the mobile communication device, and routing the content directed to the mobile communication to one or more connected or associated devices based on the caller ID information and/or which devices are connected to or associated with the mobile communication device. The device includes a controller configured to route content in the described manner.

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555691

Abstract:

A solution for automatically activating different audio transducers of a mobile communication device based upon an orientation of the device. In the solution, a series of speaker/microphone assemblies can be positioned on the device, such as positioned near an earpiece and positioned near a mouthpiece. Different speaker/microphone assemblies can also be positioned on the front of the device and on the back of the device. The solution can automatically determine an orientation for the device, based upon a detected direction of a speech emitting source and/or based upon one or more sensors, such as a tilt sensor and an accelerometer. For example, when a device is in an upside down orientation, an earpiece microphone and a mouthpiece speaker can be activated. In another example, an otherwise deactivated rear facing speaker can be activated when the device is oriented in a rear facing orientation.

International Classification:

H04B 1/38

US Classification:

455572, 455 412

Abstract:

A method for managing information signal distribution in a communication system () includes transmitting a signal containing information configured according to a first media format from a first communication device () to a second communication device (). At least one of the two devices () monitors at least one operating characteristic of a depletable power supply () sourcing electrical energy for the second device (). When a level of the monitored operating characteristic falls below a predetermined threshold, the first communication device () outputs the information to the second communication device () according to a second media format that requires less power consumption to process than does the first media format. Alternatively, under such circumstances, the first communication device () may output the information to a media output device other than the second communication device ().
