  • Patent number: 9219825
    Abstract: Cellular data access capabilities can be shared between mobile devices. Users of the mobile devices can be presented with options for selecting a set of polices for sharing cellular data access capabilities between the mobile devices and as a function of cellular data plan capacities. The set of policies can be stored in a memory of the mobile devices. Using a first application operating on a first one of the mobile devices and based upon the stored set of polices, a request can be transmitted to request cellular data access capabilities of a second one of the mobile devices. Using a second application operating on the second mobile device and based upon the stored set of polices, the first mobile device can be provided access to cellular data access capabilities of a second mobile devices.

  • Patent number: 9204417
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile broadcast signal demodulation chip for location. The demodulation chip includes a reception demodulation and module and a measurement module, where the reception and demodulation module is configured to demodulate a spread spectrum signal for positioning inserted in the header of a time slot or in the header of a transmission frame of a received mobile broadcast signal to acquire navigation message information; and the measurement module is configured to measure and acquire location characteristic parameters. The demodulation chip is not only capable of demodulating broadcast data in a mobile broadcast signal, but also capable of demodulating a spread spectrum signal for positioning-inserted in the header of a time slot or in the header of a transmission frame of a received mobile broadcast signal to acquire navigation message information and location characteristic parameters, thereby effectively improving location accuracy.
