Abstract: Some disclosed methods involve performing a fingerprint enrollment process involving obtaining fingerprint image data via a first fingerprint sensor of a fingerprint sensor system including two or more fingerprint sensors and creating a first fingerprint sensor template for subsequent fingerprint authentication via the first fingerprint sensor. Some disclosed methods involve determining a second fingerprint sensor of the fingerprint sensor system for which a fingerprint template will be created, determining one or more second fingerprint sensor characteristics of the second fingerprint sensor and creating a second fingerprint sensor template for subsequent fingerprint authentication via the second fingerprint sensor based, at least in part, on the first fingerprint sensor template and the one or more second fingerprint sensor characteristics.

Abstract: A method for multiple stage dialing using voice recognition (VR) includes the steps of receiving a first voice command that designates an entry in an address book; dialing a first portion of a dialing stream until a pause code is detected; receiving a second voice command; and dialing a second portion of the dialing stream in response to the second voice command. The first and second portions of the dialing stream may include a long distance carrier address and an access code, respectively. The third voice command may correspond to an entry name field of the further address book entry.

Abstract: A method and apparatus providing a user interface within a phone that responds to a limited vocabulary of user trained voice commands. The interface allows users to perform all phone handset dialing functions using voice commands. Additionally, users will be able to create and modify entries within a voice recognition phonebook, whereby a number within the voice recognition phonebook can be called by saying the name associated with the number. The user interface provides a combination of voice and LCD displayed user prompts and responses to voice input. The interface responds to user voice commands and performs the command functions based upon matches to previously user trained voice command vocabulary words stored in memory.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for communicating both voice and control data between a communication device (such as a cellular phone) and an external accessory (such as a hands-free kit) over a data bus. The method includes formatting a sequence of bits into a repeating sequence of first time slots and second time slots, transmitting the voice data in the first time slot, and transmitting the control data in the second time slot. Notably, a first bit of each of the second time slots comprises a clock bit that alternates between a high value and a low value (e.g. a ‘1’ or a ‘0’) as between consecutive second time slots.
