  • Patent number: 8321228
    Abstract: Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit include determining, based on spoken sounds of a user of an apparatus received at a microphone of the apparatus, whether to present audio data received from a different apparatus. If it is determined to present the received audio data, then presentation of the received audio data at a speaker of the apparatus is initiated. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a data communications bus; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media configured to performs the above steps. In some embodiments, the apparatus does not include a visual display and does not include a keypad of multiple buttons.

  • Patent number: 7596395
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an opening mechanism for a mobile station. The mobile station includes a first portion foldably coupled to a second portion via a hinge region. The mobile station includes inner and outer surfaces, which are separated by opposing lateral edges provided therebetween. According to various embodiments, the opener is comprised of one or more opening members that extend axially from the first portion of the mobile station to the second portion. The one or more opening members include one or more laterally extending depressible portions. To open the mobile station, a user merely presses (or pinches) the one or more depressible portions laterally, inwardly, thereby driving the first portion of the mobile station to separate from the second portion.
