Cellular telephone, personal digital assistant and pager unit with capability of short range radio frequency transmissions

Номер: US20120034873A1
Автор: Peter V. Boesen
Принадлежит: Individual

A cellular telephone system, including a cellular telephone transceiver unit, an ear piece which receives the voice vibrations of a user, and a wireless linkage operatively connecting the ear piece to the cellular telephone transceiver unit, allows a user to be in a hands-free mode when using a cellular telephone. The cellular telephone transceiver unit includes a personal digital assistant and a pager with a vibration module. The ear piece generally uses a bone sensor along with an air sensor placed in the external auditory canal of the user to detect the voice vibrations of the user. Further, a speaker is included in the ear piece to allow the user to hear incoming data from the cellular telephone transceiver. The wireless linkage uses low power radio frequency waves to send and receive signals between the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver unit. Both the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver unit require power which is supplied by batteries. Both the ear piece and the cellular telephone transceiver may be recharged by simply placing them in a docking station.

Methods and apparatus related to timing synchronization used in a wireless microphone system to reduce and/or minimize interference are described. A wireless microphone receiver in some embodiments performs open loop timing control based on signals from an adjacent wireless microphone receiver and participates in closed loop timing control of wireless microphone transmitters which communicate with the particular wireless microphone receiver. The closed loop timing control includes instructing individual wireless microphone transmitters to advance or retard their symbol timing so that symbols transmitted by different wireless microphone transmitters are received in a synchronized manner at the wireless microphone receiver. The closed loop timing control allows a wireless microphone receiver to control wireless microphone transmitters to take into consideration their different distances to the receiver and the differing transmission times associated with the wireless microphone transmitters at different locations.

When decoding a set of symbols to be decoded, several data blocks representative of the set of symbols to be decoded are received by a decoding node of a communications network. The data blocks are encoded using an error correction code enabling a decoding by erasure. The decoding node performs the following steps: first selecting at least one of the data blocks, first determining first erasures, and checking whether the number of the first erasures is below a given threshold. In a case the check is positive, the decoding node performs first decoding by erasure of the set of symbols to be decoded. In a case the check is negative, the decoding node performs second selecting of at least one of the data blocks, second determining second erasures, and second decoding by erasure of the set of symbols to be decoded from the second erasures.

A foam member, disposed within the enclosure and/or on an inner surface of a wall thereof, attenuates components of the back wave as a function of frequency, e.g., in the manner of a low-pass filter. The foam member comprises a foam of rigid material, namely, by way of example, a foam of metal, ceramic, carbon, silicon, glass, and/or epoxy.

A pre-out terminal that outputs a left outside audio signal can be fixed and an increase of the number of DACs is prevented. In the case that a surround back left audio signal SBL and a left outside audio signal LW are included, the signal SBL is amplified and output to a surround back left SP terminal 14 a through a switch S 13 a . The signal LW is amplified and output to a left outside SP terminal 14 b through a switch S 13 c . The signal LW is supplied from a DAC 11 b to a left outside pre-out terminal 11 d through a switch S 11 c . At this point, in order to supply the signal LW to the left outside pre-out terminal 11 d , a DAC 11 c is not used, but the DAC 11 b is used. Accordingly, the DAC 11 c can be used for another signal (ex., ZONE 2 ) to decrease the number of DACs.
