  • Patent number: 10560951
    Abstract: A method for carrier frequency assignment to users includes receiving, by a service provider scheduler, a service request from a user. The method further includes receiving, by the service provider scheduler, satellite beams information of a satellite. A user location corresponding to the user is determined. A service beam to service the user and a distance from a center of the service beam to the user location are determined based on the satellite beams information. The service beam is a satellite beam of a plurality of satellite beams provided by the satellite, and the satellite is in communication with the user via the service beam. Carrier frequency assignment to users is made to mitigate adjacent channel interference.

  • Patent number: 10560878
    Abstract: A communication system includes, of multiple terminals, a UE with a floor granted that transmits data to an MCPTT server, and a terminal other than the UE that receives the data from the MCPTT server. The UE uses either of a first service performing communication with the MCPTT server in radio connection with a base station, or a second service performing communication with the MCPTT server in radio connection with a relay terminal. The UE, when switching a radio connection destination from the base station to the relay terminal during use of the first service or when switching the radio connection destination from the relay terminal to the base station during use of the second service, buffers the data generated during the switching of the radio connection destination, and after completion of the switching of the radio connection destination, transmits the buffered data to the MCPTT server.

  • Patent number: 10468872
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10194023
    Abstract: A system capable of connecting a device to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) using an adapter. The adapter may receive caller identification from the PSTN during a second ringing signal and may send notifications to remote server(s) indicating the caller identification. The remote server(s) may use the caller identification to enable additional functionality in a speech processing system. For example, the remote server(s) may identify contact information corresponding to the caller identification, may determine information about the contact, such as recent meetings, communications, or the like, and may output the information when announcing the incoming call. In addition, the remote server(s) may compare the caller identification to a database of spam and indicate that the incoming call is possible spam.

  • Patent number: 10128696
    Abstract: A control circuit is employed for controlling a wireless power receiving apparatus that receives an electric power signal from a wireless power transmission apparatus. An electric power detection unit detects the received electric power PRX received by the wireless power receiving apparatus. A control unit generates a control signal CE for controlling the electric power PTX to be transmitted by the wireless power transmission apparatus. When the received electric power PRX detected by the electric power detection unit falls despite the control signal CE not indicating an instruction to lower the electric power PTX to be transmitted, an abnormal state judgment unit judges that an abnormal state has occurred.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to synchronization and interprocessor communication techniques in an improved system architecture for a cellular modem. According to some embodiments, a wireless device may include a control module, a downlink module, and an uplink module. The control module may decode control information to determine whether uplink or downlink activities are scheduled. If any uplink or downlink activities are scheduled, the control module may activate one or both of the uplink module or the downlink module to perform the scheduled activities. If no downlink activities are scheduled, the downlink module may not be activated by the control module, and may remain asleep until a later time when downlink activities are scheduled. Likewise, if no uplink activities are scheduled, the uplink module may not be activated by the control module, and may remain asleep until a later time when uplink activities are scheduled.

  • Patent number: 10019107
    Abstract: The ability of a user to provide input when using a touch screen or other such element of a computing device can be improved by correcting for parallax errors. A camera of the computing device can determine the relative position of the user's head or eyes with respect to the device, and determine a viewing perspective of the user with respect to content displayed on the touch screen. Using the perspective direction and information about the dimensions of the touch screen, the device can determine an amount and direction of parallax error, and can make adjustments to remove or minimize that error. The device can cause the position of the displayed graphical elements to shift and/or can adjust the mappings of the touch sensitive regions that correspond to the graphical elements. Such an approach enables the graphical elements and touch mappings to align from the current perspective of the user.
