Patent number: 11595793Abstract: Wireless mobile device functionality can be added to radio devices via a hardware device that comprises wireless network access. Alternatively, radio device functionality can be shared with a wireless mobile device or the hardware device. The functionalities of either device can be shared via a physical or wireless connection. For example, a microphone device comprising a display screen and long-term evolution (LTE) functionality can be connected to a radio device to facilitate LTE functionality for the radio device. Thus, a user of the radio device can utilize the display screen of the microphone device to send text data, which could not previously be sent by the radio device, over the wireless network via the microphone device.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Andy Salvador, Donald Philips

Patent number: 11570556Abstract: A speaker comprises a housing, a transducer residing inside the housing, and at least one sound guiding hole located on the housing. The transducer generates vibrations. The vibrations produce a sound wave inside the housing and cause a leaked sound wave spreading outside the housing from a portion of the housing. The at least one sound guiding hole guides the sound wave inside the housing through the at least one sound guiding hole to an outside of the housing. The guided sound wave interferes with the leaked sound wave in a target region. The interference at a specific frequency relates to a distance between the at least one sound guiding hole and the portion of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: SHENZHEN SHOKZ CO., LTD.Inventors: Xin Qi, Fengyun Liao, Lei Zhang, Junjiang Fu, Bingyan Yan
