Patent number: 9379750Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which relate to mitigating the detrimental effects of interference to electronic devices from mobile telephones utilizing any form of time-domain multiplexing technology. A wireless transmitter inside the mobile telephone broadcasts a warning transmission which can be received by affected devices. Once the warning transmission is received by an affected device, the device activates a blanking circuit comprising an actuator and a switch or switches. The switches open for the duration of the interference so that the user does not receive undesired output such as: noise through a speaker, noise through a microphone, or other interference with electrical signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Scott Dale Prather, Cameron Kelly Coursey, Ginger Li Chien

Patent number: 5950130Abstract: A method of intelligent roaming wherein a Systems Access List (SAL), programmed into the memory of a mobile station over-the-air or via a physical interface, is used to select a preferred system for service. When the mobile station is powered on, it scans the home band first, then a secondary band if a control channel is not found on the home band. If the mobile station determines that it is located in its home system, it remains on that band and obtains service from the home system. If the mobile station is not located within its home system, the SAL is searched to determine if there is a preferred system in the same area as the current system. If not, then the mobile station obtains service on the current system. If the SAL indicates there is a preferred system in the same area as the current system, then the SAL also indicates the exact band(s) where a preferred system may be located. The SAL may include information on the blocks of channels to scan.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1997Date of Patent: September 7, 1999Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventor: Cameron Kelly Coursey
