  • Publication number: 20040235459
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods that generate a feature list indicating the various features available in a mobile station and which of the features are enabled. The feature list can be displayed to the user and/or transmitted to remote customer service personnel. The feature list can be used to determine what features are activated on the mobile station for purposes of troubleshooting. Further, since the feature list is specific to each mobile station, a common operation manual for a plurality of different mobile stations can be used, where the user is directed by the manual to consult the feature list of the mobile station to determine whether a feature is available. Further, the feature list allows a service provider to determine what features are available on each end customer's mobile station and target marketing based on this information.

  • Patent number: 6163711
    Abstract: A hands-free adapter for interfacing a mobile phone handset with an existing audio system attaches to the handset by means of the accessory connectors that are generally located on the bottom or back of the handset. The adapter modulates the received audio from an in-coming call with a pre-selected FM or AM carrier frequency, and broadcasts the resulting, low power signal to the antenna of a receiver of the existing audio system, which may include a home stereo system, a portable stereo system, or a vehicle radio. The receiver is tuned to the carrier frequency used by the adapter so that the in-coming audio from the mobile phone can be heard over the audio system speakers. For Radio Data System (RDS)-capable radio receivers, a processor is provided within the adapter to generate channel data, which is then transmitted with the carrier signal. The RDS-capable radio receives the RDS signal and automatically tunes itself to the selected channel.
