US Patent:

20130127683, May 23, 2013

Filed:

Nov 22, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/302672

Inventors:

Peter S. Hoang - Snoqualmie WA, US
Robert J. Hollyer - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Jedd A. Perry - Monroe WA, US

Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA

International Classification:

H01Q 1/50

US Classification:

343858

Abstract:

Multi-use antenna techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a device includes a single fixed radiating structure, a first branch coupled to the single fixed radiating structure to tune to a first frequency range to support a first wireless signal technique, and a second branch coupled to the single fixed radiating structure to tune to a second frequency range to support a second wireless signal technique, the second frequency range being different than the first frequency range.

Appl. No.:

13/726458

Inventors:

Peter S. Hoang - Snoqualmie WA, US
Jedd A. Perry - Monroe WA, US
Rod G. Fleck - Bellevue WA, US

International Classification:

G01S 19/47

US Classification:

3423573

Abstract:

Various different techniques are used to determine a location of a device, including 3-dimensional (3D) mapping techniques as well as one or more of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques, wireless signal detection techniques, and inertial sensor techniques. The locations determined by these various techniques are combined to determine the location of the device and/or user of the device. In addition to the location of the device, an orientation or direction of view of the device and/or user of the device can optionally be determined as well.

International Classification:

H04B 7/00

US Classification:

455 69

Abstract:

Wireless communication techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that involve active power control such that a device may bypass use of a power amplifier to communicate wirelessly. In one or more additional implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which multiple bands may be leveraged to provide wireless communication. In one or more further implementations, wireless communication techniques are described in which a frame buffer on a receiving device is leveraged by a sending device. Yet further, in one or more implementations wireless communication techniques are described in which a sending device employs codec adaptation. Still yet further, in one or more implementations, wireless communication techniques are described which may be used to change characteristics of a channel used to communicate data. Yet further again, in one or more implementations, a receiving device is configured to adjust a display based on wireless communications received from a plurality of devices, such as to leverage a display by multiple wireless sources.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26
H04W 72/08
H04W 24/10

Abstract:

The disclosed subject matter includes techniques for performing a channel availability check. A method includes initiating, via a processor of a master device, a first connection on a first wireless channel with a subordinate device and transmitting, via the processor, a beacon to the subordinate device. The method includes monitoring, via the processor, the first wireless channel for a first predetermined amount of time for a connection request from the subordinate device in response to the beacon. The method includes performing the channel availability check to detect energy profiles on a second wireless channel for a second predetermined amount of time after the first predetermined amount of time. The processor may cycle between transmitting the beacon and monitoring the first wireless channel and performing the channel availability check on the second wireless channel until a threshold time is exceeded, the connection request is detected, or an energy profile is detected.
