Mobile Computing Device And Method For Maintaining Application Continuity
US Patent:
2011018, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jan 26, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/694244
Inventors:
Gregory R. Black - Vernon Hills IL, US
John P. Boos - Grayslake IL, US
John P. Boos - Grayslake IL, US
Assignee:
MOTOROLA, INC. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06F 1/32
US Classification:
713320
Abstract:
A method of maintaining application continuity () and mobile computing device () are described. The method involves a mobile device running an application in synchronous communication with an application server. The application has a threshold communication null period for maintaining application continuity. The method () can include the steps of: operating () the application in synchronous communication with an application server, defining an active mode, wherein the synchronous communication is automatically enabled; providing () a dormant mode wherein the synchronous communication is automatically disabled in the mobile device for a predetermined duration; and interrupting () the dormant mode by momentarily communicating with the application server prior to a threshold communication null period, for maintaining application continuity. Advantageously, prior to a threshold period of communication inactivity, the dormant mode can be interrupted to maintain application connectivity, so the server will not stop the application and data will not be lost.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device () and method () adapted to prolong the useful life of an energy storage device is disclosed. In its simplest form, it can include: determining () a limit temperature discharge energy rate of an energy storage device; sensing () a temperature range threshold in proximity to the energy storage device; and adjusting () a discharge energy rate in response to the determined limit temperature discharge energy rate () and sensed temperature range threshold (). The device () and method () can automatically and dynamically manage current drain of an energy storage device when a certain temperature range threshold is reached, to maintain the energy storage device within desired specifications and tolerances. This can prolong the useful life of the energy storage device and help to maintain a maximum recharging capacity.

Assignee:
Motorola Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04B 1/38
US Classification:
455574, 4553432, 4553433, 4553434, 455522, 455 6711, 455 68
Abstract:
A method for reducing current drain in a communication device includes a first step of developing a history of readings of received signal strengths (RSS) of a neighboring broadcast control channel (BCCH). A next step includes monitoring a RSS of the neighboring channel during a wakeup period. A next step includes determining whether the RSS is substantially stable with respect to the history of readings. A next step includes skipping the monitoring of the RSS for at least one of the subsequent wakeup periods if the RSS is substantially stable with respect to the history of readings.

International Classification:
G09G 3/34
US Classification:
345107
Abstract:
A dual-sided electrophoretic display () having a first region () and a second region () is provided. Each of the first region () and the second region () includes selectively operable members () that function as pixels for presenting images on the electrophoretic display (). Each of the selectively operable members () is driven by a driver circuit () by way of corresponding thin film transistors and capacitors (), which are opaque. As the selectively operable members () of the second region () are bigger than are the selectively operable members () of the first region (), the aperture ratio of the selectively operable members () of the second region () is greater than in the first region () when viewed from the rear side (). Thus, a contrast ratio of the second region (), when viewed from the rear side () is sufficiently high that text, icons, and characters presented in the second region () are legibly visible on the rear side ().
