Patent number: 9936458Abstract: Techniques for managing battery power of a mobile device are described. In an aspect, battery power may be reserved for an application prior to execution of the application on the mobile device. The reservation may ensure that the application has sufficient battery power for execution. In another aspect, battery power may be allocated to applications based on their priorities. The applications may be ordered based on their priorities, and the available battery power for the mobile device may be allocated to one application at a time, starting with the highest priority application. In yet another aspect, battery power may be allocated to applications based on a battery discharge curve for the mobile device. An operating point on the battery discharge curve may be selected based on at least one objective. The available battery power may be determined based on the selected operating point and allocated to the applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Liren Chen, Kirk Steven Taylor, Jack Brian Steenstra

Patent number: 9443255Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing resource and/or location-based matching services between a wireless terminal (e.g., mobile phone) user and one or more resources. A novel infrastructure supports resource and/or location based matching services over a wireless network. A back-end system includes a database, server, and match engine that are configured match a user with one or more resources based on the user's characteristics, preferences, and/or location. Such resources include (1) other users, (2) targeted advertising, (3) businesses/networking opportunities, and/or (4) locate a nearby service or store. A flexible database architecture supports application-specific resources which facilitate the deployment of various matching services. Application developers are thus able to implement different resource-matching applications for wireless devices through a common back-end infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jack Steenstra, Alexander Gantman, Kirk S.

Patent number: 9069753Abstract: Determination of proximity measurements indicative of respective intended inputs are disclosed. User inputs are received, where each user input is one of a predefined plurality of inputs that each map to multiple characters in a language. Rates of user selections of candidates decoded from the user inputs into the language are received, where each of the candidates includes one or more characters in the language. User inputs for the candidates having low rates of selection as non-selected user inputs are identified. User inputs for the candidates having high rates of selection as intended inputs are identified. The intended user inputs to the non-selected user inputs are compared to identify one or more misspelled input and intended input pairs. A proximity measurement for each misspelled input and intended input pair is determined based on a ratio of the number of times corresponding candidates for the misspelled input were not selected to the number of times the misspelled input was entered.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2010Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jun Wu, Liren Chen

Publication number: 20140364152Abstract: Implementations relate to systems and methods for localized notification that provide localized information to one or more mobile devices in a wireless communication system that are located in one or more geographical regions. The wireless communication system includes a localized notification server that responds to geographically-targeted broadcast requests and localized service or information requests. The localized notification server localizes components of the wireless communication system into sets of localized components that provide wireless communication service to mobile devices in the specific geographical regions. In response to a request to broadcast to a target geographical region, the localized notification server identifies a set of localized components associated with the target geographical region. The localized notification server then broadcasts information to mobile devices actively serviced by the set of localized components.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2014Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventors: Kirk Taylor, Liren Chen, Jack Steenstra, Guilherme Hoefel, Yang Zhang, Zhiheng Mao, Santosh Gopalan

Patent number: 8797214Abstract: A wireless device provides location data concerning an object by use of geolocation in order to provide distance tracking and local location techniques in order to provide local tracking. The geolocation and local location techniques may be implemented at the same time or individually, reconfigurable on demand, in both the tracking and tracked devices. The tracked wireless device includes a wireless communication circuit capable of communication with a multiuser wireless subscriber network. A geolocation reading circuit provides GPS or similar location data and is capable of obtaining geolocation data concerning the object. A local locating device parses local location data, and an indication is provided of geolocation based on the geolocation data, and is further responsive to the local location data which is used to modify the geolocation data with the local location data.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kirk S.

Patent number: 8643544Abstract: Location of a wireless communication device is determined by a combination of geolocation and a detection of augmenting data such as acceleration and/or speed over time measurements. A last known terrestrial navigation fix is established based on reliable terrestrial navigation or GPS data. A zone of valid location fixes based on the last known terrestrial navigation fix and an output of a rate detection circuit can be established. A weighted average is taken of using independent location measurement and detected location using last known reliable position plus change in position by integrating position changes over time.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kirk S.
