Abstract: Methods and devices (1,3) for determining the position of an electronic device (3), such as an accessory device, which obtains global positioning system signals from a satellite (4) based global positioning system. A terminal (1), such as a portable communication device, is connected to a network (2) having access to global positioning system assistance data, which is transferred to the electronic device (3) for performing a position calculation based on the global positioning system signals and the global positioning system assistance data.

Abstract: A headset system has a headset for direct wireless communication of audio data with a communication terminal and including a first power supply unit. The system includes a headset carrying device and a charger for charging the first power supply unit from a second poser supply unit. The headset carrying device includes the charger and the second power supply unit, and the headset carrying device is separate from the communication terminal.

Abstract: GPS accessories for host devices include a GPS Radio Frequency (RF) receiver that receives GPS signals over a GPS radio frequency and obtains raw GPS data from the GPS signals. A wireless RF transmitter wirelessly transmits the raw GPS data to a host device over a non-GPS radio frequency. The wireless RF transmitter may include an ad hoc short range wireless network transmitter, such as a Bluetooth transmitter.
