  • Patent number: 8885498
    Abstract: A method for enhancing a data communication throughput associated with an in-vehicle telematics system includes receiving a communication request from the in-vehicle telematics system to perform at least one of a data upload to the Internet and a data download from the Internet, and verifying availability of one or more mobile devices within the vehicle. The maximum capability of a mobile network interface for each of the one or more available mobile devices within the vehicle is determined. When the communication request is for uploading data to the Internet, the data is fragmented into data fragments and distributed to the available mobile devices, whereas when the communication request is for downloading data from the Internet, it is determined for each mobile device which fragment of data is to be downloaded and from which server, and the respective determined fragments are received from each mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8504123
    Abstract: A mobile communication device enables improved connectivity and power management. The device includes a first wireless network interface configured for connection to a first network and a second wireless network interface configured for connection to a second network. The first interface has an active mode of operation and a sleep mode. The device places the first interface in the sleep mode when not needed for communications. An external system such as a messaging server calls the device when it is unable to access the device through the first interface. The second network, which can be a cellular network, handles the call request and transmits a ringing signal to the second interface of the device. A notification handler, upon receipt of the ringing signal, wakes the first interface, permitting normal communications through the first interface. Power management logic can be more pro-active in placing the first interface into the sleep mode.
