Patent CA-2562776-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HALSE JONATHAN
IPC: G06F1/26
Filed: 2006-10-06
Abstract: The proposed solution relates to enumeration of a handheld device by a host controller in a laptop, and more particularly to a method and apparatus to support USB enumeration of such a handheld device where greater than 100mA is required to enumerate the chipset associated with the handheld device. The proposed solution comprises a handheld device with an added USB microcontroller. In operation, the integrated USB microcontroller is only powered up when the USB charging cable is plugged in and the rechargeable battery level is below the threshold required to power up the handheld device with less than 100mA pre-enumeration USB current. The integrated USB microcontroller performs USB enumeration with the host controller using the pre-enumeration 100mA current, so that the charging current can be increased to 500mA post enumeration. Once the rechargeable battery is charged to above the threshold for the handheld device's chipset or when 500 mA current can be drawn from it, the chipset of the handheld device is powered up to take over USB communication from the USB microcontroller.

Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: Method and apparatus for use in a variety of communications systems providing one or more payment alternatives for communication services and automatically selecting of a group of alternative payment techniques while significantly reducing the amount of interactive activity required from the user. Upon entry of a request to establish communications between calling and called electronic devices, the system initially looks towards a primary service provider. Absent acceptance of the request for service by the primary service provider, for whatever reason, the system automatically reverts to an alternative service provider and/or payment provider by searching data provided by the user and coupled to the electronic device for which a communication link is requested, eliminating the need for any further input by the user in the form of redialing the call, providing data through insertion of a debit or credit card, for example, identifying the alternative payment provider. The data identifying alternative service/payment providers may be contained in a card or chip removably insertable into the electronic device or in a storage device incorporated therein. Capability may be provided for choosing the most economic service/payment provider to be selected for honoring the request for service.
