Handheld Communication Device Housing: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,663,878 and 8,077,453 "Modular protective housing with peripherals for a handheld communications device

This patent – a potential asset for companies that operate in the domain of communication  devices, especially handheld devices – covers a novel modular housing “Smart Case” which encases a handheld communication device, and provides some additional data collection features, such as bar code reading, and touch screen signature capture, carrier independent direct Satellite GPS capability. The housing is lightweight, impact resistant, and resistant to excessive heat and moisture. With these features and advantages, the novel modular housing has a huge potential as an accessory in the field of handheld communication devices used by enterprise field force maintenance, service, courier, trucking, and other data collection groups.

 

Cellular Telephone Security Portfolio: U.S. Patent No. 7,263,367 “Systems and methods for setting a mode of operation of electronic devices,” European Patent EP 1175804 and Canadian Patent Application CA 2367432

This portfolio relates to the implementation of a restriction policy for regulating the usage of electronic devices in a predetermined geographical region. The restriction policy instructions are stored in a database at a cell site and are wirelessly communicated to the electronic devices when the devices enter the predetermined geographical region. The electronic devices can be cell phones, laptop computers, etc. and the restriction policies can be lowering the ringing volume of cell phones, or reducing the display intensity of laptop computers, etc.

The patented technology described caters to the security and privacy needs of a mobile phone user:

These patents would be useful to any manufacturer of cellular phones or cellular service provider seeking to provide greater security. The market for mobile security is estimated at $5 billion and expected to grow to over $8 billion by 2015.

Noise Reduction for Hands-Free Mobile Phones: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,706,821 and 7,761,106

This exciting portfolio covers a novel noise reduction system for communication devices. The technology uses two microphones for collecting audio signals and ambient noise signals, respectively. The two signals are then synchronized to generate an audio signal that can be heard.

The two patents in the portfolio are titled “Noise reduction system and method suitable for hands free communication devices” (the ‘821 patent) and “Voice coder with two microphone system and strategic microphone placement to deter obstruction for a digital communication device” (the ‘106 patent). Both patents were issued in April of 2007.

Noise cancellation techniques enhance audio quality, so they have applications in a variety of products including cell phones, portable music players, PDAs and laptops. The growing market for mobile phones has been supplemented by growth in the market for mobile phone accessories which primarily include headsets.

The claims of this portfolio describe a system and method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of communication devices, leading to reduction in noise interference. Some important features of this patented technology include:

The technology protected by U.S. Patent Nos. 7,706,821 and 7,761,106 can be used for enhancing voice quality in signals transmitted from one communication device to another.  The patented technology finds extensive application wherever communication is required between two electronic devices, such as in mobile communication.

4G/LTE: U.S. Patent No. 7,573,862 “System and method for optimizing network capacity in a cellular wireless network”

The patent covers a novel technique for optimization of telecommunication backhaul systems. The patent focuses primarily on a unique architecture for optimizing network capacity in cellular networks and reducing the operating cost associated with the currently inefficient backhaul systems.
