Patent number: 11457343Abstract: A device, method and system for controlling provisioning of a mobile device is provided. An example devices determines, upon power-up, a status of a provisioning flag. The example device, in response to the provisioning flag comprising a first state associated with an out-of-box update mode, implements a first provisioning stage associated with a first communication system according to the out-of-box update mode. The example device, in response to the provisioning flag comprising a second state associated with a post-deployment update mode, implements the first provisioning stage associated with the first communication system according to the post-deployment update mode different from the out-of-box update mode. The example device implements a second provisioning stage for one or more of the second communication system and an operating system implemented at the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Sanjaykumar S. Karpoor, Stephen C. Glass, Daniel P. Zetzl, Lorenzo J. Cruger, Blake C. Moselle, Roland Simandiev, John Touvannas, Xuejiao Liu, Yuval Namir, Erin B. Bryant

Patent number: 11388559Abstract: An ordering system (102) generates subscription offerings and receives an order entry in response thereto, for configuring a plurality of mobile communication devices (116) and gateways. A service management system (106) having a service management controller processes the order entry and establishes subscription services in response thereto. The subscription services are based on one or more of features, bearer providers, and capabilities associated with the plurality of mobile communication devices and gateways. The service management system (106) manages the selection of optimal bearer providers as the gateways for the transport of features requested in the order. A billing service (120) is adjusted in accordance with deployment and management of the mobile communication devices, including the transfer of mission critical functions from narrowband bearer providers to broadband bearer providers.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Stephen C.

Patent number: 10795422Abstract: A method and apparatus for mission critical standby of a portable communication device are disclosed. A portable communication device may include a primary processor for a first operating platform, a secondary processor for a second operating platform and communicatively coupled to the primary processor, and a power state manager that may have a first mode and a second mode. The power state manager may be configured to determine whether the primary processor is in a powered off state and sequence supply of power to the secondary processor. The first mode may allow the primary processor to monitor a power state of the secondary processor based on a determination that the primary processor is not in the powered off state and the second mode may enable the power state manager to monitor the power state based on a determination that the primary processor is in the powered off state.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Grobe Sachs, Graeme Johnson, Stephen C.

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
