  • Patent number: 9349358
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing a number R greater than or equal to 1 of multimedia peripherals (6) of a portable communication device with an audio file (1), comprising the steps of extracting a number P greater than or equal to 1 of basic synchronization signals (SYNCi) according to a first sat of parameters (20); generating, from said P basic synchronization signals, a number Q greater than or equal to 1 of synchronization command signals (COMk) according to a second set of parameters (30) defining rules to convert basic synchronization signals into signals adapted to the type of peripheral to be synchronized; and selecting, among said Q synchronization commend signals, R synchronization signals (PSYNCk) for controlling R peripheral drivers (5) driving said R multimedia peripherals (40), according to a third set of parameters (40).

  • Patent number: 7982113
    Abstract: A method and device of synchronizing at least one multimedia peripheral of a portable communication device with a synthetic audio file include storing parameters in the portable communication device. The parameters include a list of preferred instruments. Information is read from the synthetic audio file. The information relates to an instrument corresponding to each track available in the synthetic audio file. A track is selected from among the tracks available in the synthetic audio file based on the list of preferred instruments. At least one synchronization signal is generated from the synthetic audio file using the selected track.

  • Patent number: 7605320
    Abstract: A method for synchronizing at least one multimedia peripheral of a portable communication device with a synthetic audio file (1), which method comprises a step of generating at least one synchronization signal (SiSYNCH) from said synthetic audio file (1). According to the invention, said method comprises an initialization step (A0) consisting in memorizing, at said portable communication device, parameters (2) including at least a list of preferred instruments; and a generating step (A1) comprising a step of analyzing (A10) information read from said synthetic audio file (1) relating to each instrument for which a track can be extracted in said synthetic audio file (1), and a step of deciding (A11) which extracted track is to be used for generating said synchronization signal (SiSYNCH) as a function of said parameters.

  • Patent number: 6928274
    Abstract: A receiver device for a mobile radiocommunication unit communicating with a base station via a propagation channel includes a pathfinder for determining the time-delays associated with a multipath signal, a channel estimator supplying an estimate of the propagation channel to a filter unit, which can be made up of a bank of Wiener filters, which optimizes the estimates of the propagation channel, and to a speed estimator that supplies the estimated speed of the mobile radio communication unit to the filter unit so as to select the appropriate filter corresponding to the speed estimate.
