20110007048 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING PIXELS OF A DISPLAY DEVICE TO COMMUNICATE OPTICAL INFORMATION OVER A COMMUNICATIONS LINK - A system for communicating over an optical communications link is provided that uses at least one display pixel of a display device to transmit optical information bits and at least one sensor pixel of the display device to receive optical information bits. To transmit optical information bits, a controller of the display device causes the transmitter display pixel to switch between at least first and second optical display conditions to produce a modulated optical signal representative of one or more information bits. To receive optical information bits, the controller reads the electrical sense signal produced by the receiver sensor pixel and interprets the electrical sense signal read from the receiver pixel as corresponding to one or more information bits. | 01-13-2011 |

20120076317 | MEDIA PLAYER SYSTEM WITH ANTI-VOICE OPERATED SWITCH - A media player system and method includes a microphone, a hearing appliance, a converter, a flash memory, a comparing unit, a timer, and a switching unit (e.g., anti-voice operated switch). The microphone associated with a squelch control unit receives and samples an external sound as a user listens to a media file via the hearing appliance. The converter digitizes the external sound and the comparing unit compares the digitized sound with one or more keywords stored in the flash memory. The switching unit automatically temporarily mutes the audio stream for a predetermined time period thereby enabling the user to hear the external sound. | 03-29-2012 |

20100223480 | Power Sharing Among Portable Electronic Devices - A portable electronic device is operative to facilitate power sharing with at least a second electronic device coupled thereto. The portable electronic device includes a battery power source, a first port adapted for connection to a first network connection and a second port adapted for connection to a second network connection. An input stage in the portable electronic device is connected to the first port. The input stage is operative to supply power received from the first network connection through the first port to the battery power source for recharging the battery power source. The portable electronic device further includes an output stage connected to the second port. The output stage is operative to supply power from the battery power source to the second network connection through the second port. | 09-02-2010 |

20100031805 | Method and apparatus for adjusting the cadence of music on a personal audio device - Disclosed is an audio device that adjusts the cadence of played songs. All songs in a playlist may be adjusted to match the cadence of a particular song. First, the desired cadence of a reference song is determined by low pass filtering a digital representation of the reference song and determining the period (T) of the back beat of the reference song. The cadence of subsequent songs is then determined by low pass filtering digital representations of the subsequent songs and determining the period (T) of the back beat of the subsequent songs. An adjustment of the period (T) of the subsequent songs is then determined such that the adjustment of the period (T) of the subsequent songs results in the subsequent songs having the desired cadence (i.e., the cadence of the reference song). The period (T) of the back beat of the subsequent songs are then adjusted. | 02-11-2010 |
20100089224 | Method and apparatus for adjusting the cadence of music on a personal audio device - Disclosed is an audio device that adjusts the cadence of played songs. A user sensor determines cadence data based on movement of the user. A desired cadence is determined based on the cadence data received from the sensor. The cadence of songs is determined by low pass filtering digital representations of the songs and determining the period (T) of the back beat of the songs. An adjustment of the period (T) of the songs is then determined such that the adjustment of the period (T) of the songs results in the songs having the desired cadence. The period (T) of the back beat of the subsequent songs are then adjusted. | 04-15-2010 |
