  • Inconspicuous sensing system across multiple surfaces
    Patent number: 11226698
    Abstract: A method for detecting, by a force sensing circuit within an electronic device, a change in force applied to a surface of the electronic device. The method includes correlating the change in the force applied to the surface to a functional change of at least one setting of the electronic device. The method further includes identifying when a detected change is a first change of the change in force, which corresponds to a trigger that activates at least one of a plurality of sensing devices within the force sensing circuit to monitor for a subsequent change in the force. In response to detecting the subsequent change of the change in force, the method includes adjusting the at least one setting of the electronic device based on the subsequent change of the force.

  • Over-the-air programming method for wireless communication device
    Patent number: 6731930
    Abstract: A method for programming a wireless portable communication device (104) over the air with a wireless communication network (102). An end user may request to have his wireless portable communication device programmed or the device may be programmed to automatically request at a predetermined time interval. The communication network (104) may remotely program an individual wireless portable communication device (104), or may remotely program a group of wireless portable communication devices (112).
