  • Publication number: 20140198059
    Abstract: A method includes utilizing transmitters and receivers in an electronic device to detect at least one object spaced from a touch-sensitive display of the electronic device, determining first signal values utilizing touch sensors of the touch-sensitive display to obtain baseline noise values when no touch is detected and the transmitters are transmitting, and when a touch is detected, applying the baseline noise values to second signal values to reduce the effect of noise when identifying the touch location.

  • Publication number: 20130052957
    Abstract: In some implementations, a method for wireless data communication includes detecting a short-range proximity of a device. In response to at least the detected short-range proximity, a connection to a mechanical assembly is emulated. A communication link including a wireless link is established with the device by transmitting a request according to a wired standard. Signals formatted in accordance with the wired standard are communicated with the device through the wireless link.

  • Publication number: 20080144645
    Abstract: Disclosed are a queue controller and method thereof for dual mode I/O devices and methods for transmission of a short range radio link such as a Bluetooth link that is a bi-directional real-time audio communication signal that can be over a first transport or a second transport. The described queue controller can transform a single input queue having heterogeneous packet types to a queue having homogeneous packet types in a case where heterogeneous audio packet types are anticipated. According to control signals that can be based upon operating conditions and transport selection, a first control signal or a second control signal can control the single input queue transformation. After a transport is selected, a single input queue can be processed by a queue controller configured to transform the single input queue having heterogeneous packet types to a queue having homogeneous packet types.

  • Publication number: 20080101279
    Abstract: Disclosed are dual mode I/O devices and methods for transmission of a short range radio link such as a Bluetooth link that is a bi-directional real-time audio communication signal that can be over a synchronous circuit-switched transport and an asynchronous packet-switched transport either sequentially or simultaneously. Also disclosed are dual mode wireless headset systems and methods of at least two dual mode I/O devices and more particularly including a wireless audio terminal and an audio gateway for transmission of a bi-directional real-time audio communication signal that can be over a synchronous circuit-switched (SCO) transport and an asynchronous packet-switched (ACL) transport either sequentially or simultaneously. Having both SCO and ACL modes available may allow the user to optimize voice quality or data throughput under different operating conditions. The user may benefit from better Bluetooth voice quality and may have the flexibility of using either mode depending upon the situation.
