Patent number: 10470062Abstract: A battery operated portable communication device provides converged functionality while avoiding resets to the device. Composite logic circuitry formed of at least one comparator and a logic interface controls current limiting to a primary load formed of high power land mobile radio (LMR) devices and programming to secondary loads formed of non-LMR peripherals. At least one current limit control signal is used to control current to the primary load under high current mode operations. Another control signal provides an interruption alert to a slave processor for controlled programming of the secondary loads during the high current operations of the primary load. Current to the primary load is restored while the secondary load is interrupted. Operation of secondary load processes is resumed when the primary load ceases high power operation.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Peter J. Bartels, Javier Alfaro, Jeffrey L. Cutcher, Kevin Alonso, Stephen C. Glass

Patent number: 10341839Abstract: A portable communication system (100) maintains mission critical functionality. An accessory (120) and a handset (130) are tethered and interoperate such that the accessory operates as the primary controlling device and the handset operates as a secondary device. The accessory (120) contains a main applications processor (102) that handles non-mission critical functions. The accessory further contains a mission critical processor (104) for handling mission critical functions of transmit and receive audio as well as PTT and emergency. In response to a failure of the mission critical processor (104), the mission critical functions are maintained by handing over the mission critical functions to the non-controlling device in a manner transparent to the user. The handover is triggered in response to status changes of the mission critical processor or as a result of battery depletion. Audio paths are re-routed through backup paths (146b, 148) negating reliance on processors of the accessory (120).Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Javier Alfaro, Kurt S. Fienberg, Daniel Landron, Kevin D. Elliott, David Corvino, Hua Li

Patent number: 9763193Abstract: Systems (100) and methods (400) for extending battery life on a Communication Device (“CD”). The methods involve: configuring operations of CD and an accessory such that they operate in a first operational mode in which the accessory has a first functionality; and detecting the occurrence of a trigger event. The trigger event occurs when: (a) CD's power source has a State-Of-Charge (“SOC”), capacity or voltage level that is not optimal for powering the accessory, (b) a voltage level of the accessory's power source is below a lowest voltage level at which the accessory can fully operate, or (c) a power source of the accessory is sufficiently charged/re-charged such that the accessory can once again operate in the SOM. In response to the trigger event, operations of CD and accessory are re-configured such that they operate in accordance with a second operational mode in which the accessory has a second functionality.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Diego I.

Patent number: 9614561Abstract: A method and circuit for mitigating RFI in an electronic device that occurs while the device is in a low power mode utilizes one or more antenna elements in the device to receive RF energy. When the RF energy is sufficiently high that it could affect signal states in the device while in the low power mode, the device transitions from the low power mode to an active mode and begins an RFI mitigation process to ensure signal states and other circuit operations in the device are not changed by the RFI.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Peter J.

Patent number: 8320585Abstract: A dual-sided radio (100) for enhancing a user's experience is provided. The radio includes a primary transducer (110) on an audio-side of the radio that projects a primary sound, a secondary transducer (120) on a data-side of the radio that projects a mid-high frequency sound, a processor (160) that equalizes (200) audio to the primary transducer and the secondary transducer, and a communication module (130) that receives and transmits communication signals containing the audio. The secondary transducer supplements the primary sound with a mid-high frequency sound (404) to compensate for mid-high frequency loss of the primary sound due to diffraction (300).Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Deborah A.
