Patent number: 9674635Abstract: Applications are provided to communication devices provide flexible operation between default modes of operation and an expanded mode of operation in which both communication devices share capabilities. A purchase order is created for a plurality of communication devices. A determination is made as to whether a collaboration feature is enabled at each device. The collaboration feature being enabled at each device results in additional revenue to the ordering process. If collaboration is enabled at both devices at 306, 312, and then collaboration operation are enabled 316 which allows for predetermined operating features to be registered and additional revenue applied. The communication devices 102, 104 are then automatically linked (via information sharing link 120 using linkage application 140) to share capabilities of the registered features at 320. The resulting order comprises a plurality of communication devices that provided an expanded mode of operation when operating together.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2010Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: David E. Klein, Eric D. Brooks, Steven E. Young, Deborah J. Monks, Alejandro G. Blanco

Patent number: 9363381Abstract: A method and device enables transferring a call between devices of a single user. The method comprises pairing, over a master-less communication link, a narrowband communication device operating in a narrowband communication system and a broadband communication device operating in a broadband communication system. A radio identifier is shared between the narrowband communication device and the broadband communication device, enabling call details to be transferred between the narrowband communication device and the broadband communication device. An operational status of either the narrowband communication device or the broadband communication device is then evaluated.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: David E.
