QUALCOMM Incorporated - San Diego CA

International Classification:

H04W 4/00
H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554321, 4554322, 4554323, 4554561, 4554562, 4554563

Abstract:

Techniques to support location services for a roaming mobile station are described. The mobile station may communicate with a serving mobile switching center (MSC) in a serving network. A roaming service provider (RSP) network may map an actual MSC identity (MSCID) of the serving MSC to a generic MSCID and may provide the generic MSCID to a home network. A home mobile positioning center (H-MPC) may map the generic MSCID to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a mapping server within the RSP network and may send a location request message containing a mobile station identity (MSID) to the mapping server. The mapping server may determine a serving mobile positioning center (S-MPC) based on the MSID and may forward the message to the S-MPC. The mapping server may also receive a location response message from the S-MPC and may forward the message to the H-MPC.

International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340439, 340440

Abstract:

A system for evaluating risk in driving comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine whether a spacial motion data does not fall within the vehicle profile and, in the event that the spacial motion data does not fall within the vehicle profile, to change class/type assignment associated with the vehicle and to modify a trigger threshold associated with an event detector that monitors the spacial motion data. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions.

Abstract:

Techniques for supporting location-based services (LBS) by a removable module are described. A set of messages (e. g. , commands and events) may be defined to support location-based services by the removable module. In one design, the removable module may send a first message (e. g. , a Get Position—Request message) to a terminal to request for location information. The first message may be sent for an LBS application running on the removable module. The removable module may thereafter receive a second message (e. g. , a Get Position—Response message) with the requested location information from the terminal. The removable module may execute a task for the LBS application based on the location information. The task may include reporting the location of the terminal, initiating a voice call, sending an SMS message, displaying a menu on the terminal, sending a report for tracking of the terminal, etc.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
H04L 29/06

US Classification:

713171, 726 3

Abstract:

Alternative authentication approaches for service request are provided. For a mobile station roaming in a visited network that does not support conventional updating of cryptographic keys (such as Dynamic Mobile IP Key Update) for a desired service, such cryptographic key authentication may be accomplished in a different way. Instead of merely rejecting a service request when a cryptographic key for the mobile station is not found at the home network, the home network may initiate a process by which a text messaging channel is utilized to establish such cryptographic key with the requesting mobile station. Alternatively, the home network may utilize other information, such as a verifiable identifier or credential for the requesting mobile station (e.g., IMSI, MIN, etc.) along with a roaming status of the requesting mobile station to authenticate the mobile station and grant access to network services allowing a requested service to be established.

International Classification:

H04R 5/02

US Classification:

381300

Abstract:

A method for reducing phase differences varying with frequency occurring at certain listening positions with respect to loudspeakers reproducing respective ones of multiple sound channels in a listening space, the phase differences occurring in a sequence of frequency bands in which the phase differences alternate between being predominantly in-phase and predominantly out-of-phase, comprises adjusting the phase in multiple frequency bands in which the multiple sound channels are out-of-phase at such listening positions. Such adjustment of phase includes the frequency bands in which the width of comb filtering pass bands and notches resulting from phase differences at such listening positions would be greater than or commensurate with the critical band width if the phase adjustment were not applied. The listening space may be the interior of a vehicle.

International Classification:

B60Q 1/00

US Classification:

340439

Abstract:

A Method and System for Tuning the Effect of Vehicle Characteristics on Risk Prediction is disclosed. The system many incorporate many of those driver risk assessment system features previously disclosed by Assignee's Prior Applications. The present system provides a major functional distinction from those prior systems by adding the feature of real-time tuning of the risk assessment/prediction/analysis system in response to ongoing changes in vehicle motion characteristics. Specifically, system monitors the vehicle center of gravity for changes on a real-time basis, and then adjusts the risk prediction/assessment/analysis system responsively. The system executes an initialization feature that implements an initial, or series of initial vehicular motion profiles at the commencement of either a driving trip of the system being powered up. A catalog or index of “standardized” motion profiles are accessible for initial comparison to actual vehicle motion characteristics in order to streamline the tuning of the driver risk analysis system. The system determines if and when an offset in Center of Gravity (i.e. from where initialized) has occurred, after which the system responsively tunes the driver risk assessment/prediction/analysis/reporting system.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709228

Abstract:

An apparatus or method integrates device policy and network policy in order to arbitrate a priority between packet data applications or services for a data connection. In response to a request, a data connection to a wireless network is established for a first application of a first type of application or service if no data session is in progress or if a second application of a second type of application or service can share an existing data session. A hybrid arbitrator performs hybrid arbitration between the first application and the second application in response to determining that the first type and the second type cannot share the existing data session, either based upon a network policy that specifies a difference in priority between the first type and the second type, or based upon a device policy if the network policy does not specify a difference in priority.
