Filed:

May 10, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/431322

Inventors:

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709231000

Abstract:

This disclosure describes audio techniques that exploit a prioritization scheme of audio streams of a software application, such as a video game that execute on a mobile device. The priority of the audio streams are defined by a content creator of the application. In addition, priority of an additional audio stream not associated with the application (such as an audio alert) is also defined. A mobile device includes a processor that executes the application and an audio decoding unit that receives a plurality of prioritized audio streams of an application executing on a mobile device, receives an additional prioritized audio stream not associated with the application, and combines a subset of the prioritized audio streams associated with the application and the additional prioritized audio streams according to priority to form a common audio stream.

International Classification:

H04W 52/02
H04W 76/02
H04W 68/00

Abstract:

The disclosure generally relates to power savings in a power-sensitive device tethered to another device over a wireless link. For example, a first wireless device may establish a wireless link with a second device such that the first wireless device is tethered to the second device over the wireless link. The first wireless device may determine that a scheduled untethering of the wireless link with the second device is impending and reduce a duty cycle associated with one or more procedures to reestablish the wireless link in response to determining that the wireless link with the second device has been lost. The duty cycle may be reduced for a period that substantially corresponds to an expected duration of the scheduled untethering of the wireless link.

International Classification:

H04W 52/02
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are techniques for reducing power consumption of an electronic tracking device. The electronic tracking device includes a wireless communication subsystem and an always-on low-power sensor for sensing the motions of the electronic tracking device. A controller of the electronic tracking device controls the operations of the wireless communication subsystem based on the detection signals from the always-on low-power sensor such that the wireless communication subsystem is only activated when motions of the electronic tracking device have stopped for a threshold period of time, or when a query from a server is received when the wireless communication subsystem is in a standby mode.
