Abstract: A mobile communication device may include one or more cameras located on edges of the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device may further include logic configured to obtain image data from at least one of the one or more cameras; detect a change in an environment of the mobile communication device based on the obtained image data; and provide image data from the at least one of the one or more cameras in a display insert window on a display of the mobile communication device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing system message data received at an electronic device that is in a low power mode are disclosed. System message data is processed by receiving at least one system message including data for processing by the electronic device while the electronic device is in the low power mode, generating a message available indicator responsive to the at least one system message, generating a process message signal responsive to at least one of (i) the message available indicator and (ii) the data of the at least one system message, transitioning device circuitry within the electronic device from a powered down state to a powered up state responsive to the process message signal, and processing the data of the at least one system message using the device circuitry in the powered up state.

Abstract: A consumer electronic device includes circuitry configured to produce a signal corresponding to a selected one of first, second and third radio frequency channel. The circuitry includes a modulator configured to modulate the video signal such that it falls within a first predetermined frequency range, corresponding to the selected channel. The respective frequency ranges for the first, second and third radio frequency channels are mutually exclusive. Multiple consumer electronic devices are coupled to a combiner which generates a combined signal including the modulated signals from all of the devices. This signal is distributed to a plurality of receivers such that each receiver can receive any of the modulated signals without interference from any of the other modulated signals. The device may also be implemented as a stand-alone device that receives baseband signals, modulates the signals and combines the modulated signals to produce the combined signal.
