Appl. No.:

09/662859

Inventors:

Samuel M. Levenson - Arlington Heights IL
Mark S. Hansen - Colleyville TX

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 1226

US Classification:

370235, 370252, 370338

Abstract:

The present invention is for shaping a packet time out threshold in a wireless telecommunications network including a TCP session. First, a TCP communications session ( ) is identified during which first and second communications nodes ( ) communicate with one another by transmitting and receiving data packets across first and second channels ( ) of a wireless network ( ). Next, a processor ( ) located either in one of the communications nodes ( ) or in a network base station subsystem ( ) determines delay characteristics of each of first and second channels ( ) of the communications session. Once the delay characteristics are determined, the processor ( ) causes a delay packet to be transmitted on a slower of the first and second channels ( ) at predetermined intervals to increase an average time delay associated with both the first and second channels ( ). Consequently, the number of unnecessary packet time outs on the first and second channels ( ) is minimized.

Inventors:

Mark D. Hansen - Buffalo Grove IL, US
Julien Pince - Toulouse, FR

Assignee:

Motorola Mobility, Inc. - Libertyville IL

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

455417, 4554141

Abstract:

A mobile communication device as described herein is configured to support a wireless service discovery routine within a wireless local area. The service discovery routine identifies compatible devices in the vicinity of the mobile device, where the compatible devices represent potential forward-to devices for purposes of call forwarding for the mobile device. The mobile device receives one or more potential forward-to telephone numbers during the service discovery routine, selects a designated forward-to telephone number, and generates a call forwarding request that identifies the designated forward-to telephone number. The service discovery routine is carried out using one wireless communication protocol, and the call forwarding request is carried out using a different wireless communication protocol (e. g. , a cellular protocol).

Appl. No.:

12/331177

Inventors:

Francis Bourque - Mundelein IL, US
Sanjay Gupta - Lakewood IL, US
Mark Hansen - Buffalo Grove IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola Mobility LLC - Libertyville IL

International Classification:

G01C 21/00

US Classification:

701400, 701 314

Abstract:

A method () and navigation system () are provided that generate a navigation route that is environmentally optimized between an origin and destination. Upon receiving an origination location and destination from a user or other source, such as a GPS satellite (), a route determination module () determines multiple routes between the origination location and destination. An environmental analysis module () then processes each route to determine an environmental impact value. An evaluation module () then can selects a proposed route for presentation to the user via a presentation module (). Alternatively, the evaluation module () may select two or more routes, which the presentation module () may present with corresponding environmental impact data such that the user may select a particular route. Additionally, a green coach module () may provide instructions to the user for more environmentally beneficial operation of a vehicle ().

US Classification:

726026000, 713193000

Abstract:

There is provided a communication device, and a method thereof, for managing access to protected content. The communication device comprises an application (), a trusted file system service (), a trusted agent () and a trusted content renderer (). The application () requests performance of an action for the protected content (). The trusted file system service () identifies the protected content () to the application (). The trusted agent () identifies rights associated with the protected content () to the application (). The trusted content renderer () performs the action in response to determining that the application () is an untrusted application having sufficient rights to perform the action.
