Appl. No.:

09/592020

Assignee:

International Classification:

H04Q 720

US Classification:

455458, 455515, 455574, 370311, 370313, 370314

Abstract:

A system and method including a flexible paging protocol which adjusts the allocation of resources for paging in response to the amount of actual paging traffic, by increasing resources for paging when paging traffic is heavy and decreasing them when paging traffic is light. A base station transmits a paging packet message over a paging broadcast channel containing a set of paging messages and a next page pointer. The next page pointer identifies when the next set of paging packet message will be transmitted. A user station monitoring the paging channel receives the next page pointer, and, if not being paged, goes to sleep until the next paging packet message is due. When paging traffic is light, paging messages are sent infrequently, freeing up base station resources and allowing the user station to remain asleep longer. When paging traffic is heavy, paging messages are sent more frequently, ensuring rapid response to the pages and reducing the probability of a missed call. The protocol is particularly well suited for use in TDMA environments.

7062034, Jun 13, 2006

Filed:

Aug 13, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/917697

Inventors:

Benjamin K. Gibbs - Camas WA, US
Richard Eric Helvick - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA

International Classification:

H04M 3/00

US Classification:

379354, 37935502, 37935508, 37935601

Abstract:

An international telephone number is displayed by automatically inserting at least one space after the country code portion of the telephone number. In particular, when a telephone number having an International Direct Dialing (IDD) prefix, such as “00”, “011” and “+”, is received, the telephone number is then displayed by inserting at least one space between a country code portion contained in the telephone number and subsequent numbers of the telephone number. The country code portion of the telephone number is determined by accessing a look-up table for identifying the country code portion of the telephone number. Alternatively, the country code portion could be determined by comparing numbers appearing subsequent to the IDD prefix with predetermined country codes.

Appl. No.:

11/404691

Inventors:

Benjamin K. Gibbs - Camas WA, US

Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA

International Classification:

H04B 1/16

US Classification:

4553435, 455 671, 455425, 4555501, 370311, 713320

Abstract:

The present invention provides virtual batteries for a wireless communication device. Generally speaking, a virtual battery is a logical construct on a wireless communication device that powers a defined set of wireless communication device applications and has a defined power budget from one or more physical batteries on the device. Through judicious assignment of wireless communication device applications and power budgets to virtual batteries, a user of a wireless communication device can efficiently allocate power among competing wireless communication device applications.

Appl. No.:

12/148195

Inventors:

Andrew R. Ferlitsch - Camas WA, US
Benjamin K. Gibbs - Camas WA, US

Assignee:

Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. - Camas WA

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715782, 715802

Abstract:

A wireless handset and a method and system for a wireless handset that better enable a user of the wireless handset to identify, select and view objects on a web page. Objects from a web page are rendered on a wireless handset display as selectable panels in perspective views. The rendering of objects from a web page as selectable panels in perspective views allows a web page designed for rendering on a display of a conventional Internet capable device to fit within a much smaller display of a wireless handset while maintaining the relative position, visibility, selectability and natural appearance of the objects.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455412100, 455466000

Abstract:

A default recipient of a message and/or photograph sent from a mobile camera telephone is determined based on one of several alternative techniques. In one technique, the default recipient could be a preselected default recipient. In another alternative technique, the default recipient could be determined based on a most recent recipient of another message and/or photograph. As yet another alternative technique, the default recipient could be determined based on a recipient contained in a send-to list that has received a most number of messages and/or photographs. Still another alternative provides that the default recipient is determined in response to actuation of a selected key of the mobile telephone that corresponds to the default recipient.

Inventors:

Benjamin Gibbs - Camas WA, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455413000, 455416000, 455415000

Abstract:

A mobile telecommunications device configured for use in a wireless communication system is disclosed that includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions are stored in the memory. The instructions are executable to implement a method for call screening. An incoming call is received from a caller. The incoming call is answered and put on hold. Voicemail is dialed into such that the voicemail call does not automatically go into the voicemail retrieval menu. The incoming call and the voicemail call are joined into a three-way conference call such that a user of the mobile telecommunications device is able to screen the incoming call.

Benjamin K. Gibbs - Camas WA, US

International Classification:

H04N 5/44
H04M 1/00

US Classification:

348725, 4555562, 348E05096

Abstract:

A method and system for optimizing performance of a mobile electronic device when processing video content through reduced reliance on software processing by the mobile electronic device in making luminance adjustments to the video content. Software processing by the mobile electronic device is reduced by having a video server node preprocess video content and determine luminance adjustments adapted to optimize mobile electronic device performance when rendering the video content. Software processing by a mobile electronic device is further reduced by having a software-driven processor on the mobile electronic device apply luminance adjustment identifiers received from the video server node to select and load onto a display driver integrated circuit on the mobile electronic device lookup tables having values adapted for application to adjust luminance of the segments of the video content as rendered.
