Patent ID: 8311579

Claim:
A mobile communication device comprising: a user interface that generates gaming data in a gaming mode of operation of the mobile communication device; a motion sensor for generating motion signals in response to motion of the mobile communication device; a motion data generation module, coupled to the motion sensor, that generates motion data based on the motion signals; and at least one transceiver, coupled to the motion data generation module and the user interface, that sends the motion data and the gaming data to a game device in the gaming mode of operation and that transceives wireless telephony data with a wireless telephony network in a telephony mode of operation that is different from the gaming mode of operation, wherein, in a first gaming mode of operation, the transceiver continuously receives one or more RF signals and sends the motion signals generated by the motion sensor periodically to update the positioning of the motion sensor; wherein, in a second gaming mode of operation, the transceiver periodically receives one or more RF signals and sends the motion signals generated by the motion sensor only when required to update the positioning of the motion sensor; wherein, in the telephony mode of operation, the transceiver adapts protocol parameters to compensate for the motion of the mobile communication device.
