A communication system comprises a processing system configured to support data, voice and video communications. A docking station is coupled to the processing system and is configured to provide power and data connections to a personal computer wireless device. The personal computer wireless device is configured to provide power, data, and analog connections. The docking station includes a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone, such as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), phone. The docking station may include a keypad configured to initiate, or otherwise enable, VoIP phone call functions. The docking station is coupled to the processing system over at least one pair of low-voltage wires having an electrical current sufficient to power the personal computer wireless device. The pair(s) of low-voltage wires may provide sufficient electrical current to charge a battery in the personal computer wireless device.

Broadband communications devices and methods operate with at least two separate communication paths between the devices and the network, such as the Internet. The broadband devices and methods receive data concurrently over the communication paths or separately. The bandwidth is increased when the separate communication paths are combined. The broadband devices employ packetized data with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies combined with RF communications technologies.

An electronic device receives a first input operation performed by a user; determines a to-be-positioned target device and a predetermined moving track in response to the first input operation; and obtains WI-FI feature information of the target device or a WI-FI hotspot apparatus with a known geographical location and motion information of a first electronic device in a process in which the first electronic device moves along the predetermined moving track to determine and display location information of the target device such that the target device can be positioned using one electronic device, there is no need to be a plurality of known reference points, and an offline fingerprint database is not relied on.

An object of the preset invention is to prevent unnecessary wireless connection from being established and to improve security. An information processing apparatus includes: a notifying unit that notifies a plurality of services which the information processing apparatus provides; a receiving unit that receives a connection request in which one service among the plurality of services is designated, from a terminal apparatus; and a controlling unit that when allowing the connection request, establishes a connection with the terminal apparatus, based on a communication method of wireless communication concerning the connection request and the designated service, and when not allowing the connection request, does not establish the connection with the terminal apparatus.

A multi-network access method and a terminal device, including: receiving a first input for a network acceleration identifier by a user, where the network acceleration identifier is an entrance for triggering the terminal device to access a network; and displaying a target interface in response to the first input, where the target interface includes at least one of a first control or a second control, where the first control is configured to trigger the terminal device to access M second wireless local area networks in a case that that a first wireless local area network is accessed, and the second control is configured to trigger the terminal device to access N mobile data networks in a case that the first wireless local area network is accessed; A data transmission speed based on a plurality of accessed networks is greater than that based on the first wireless local area network.

In some implementations, a mobile computing device may participate in the calibration of an output signal of a media device. This calibration process includes storing device-specific calibration data which is related to properties of a light sensor of the mobile device. The mobile device then detects of properties of light emitted by the display device during a presentation to obtain sensor values related to light emitted by the display device during the presentation. The calibration process may also ensure that the mobile device is proximate to the display device prior to obtaining the sensor values. The collected sensor values are adjusted using device-specific calibration data stored to the mobile device to normalize the sensor values relative to a baseline. These normalized sensor values are sent to the media device for use in adjusting the output signal based on the normalized sensor values.

In some aspects, a cellular telephone includes (1) a user interface portion having a communications circuit; and (2) a cellular portion having a first communications circuit adapted to communicate with the communications circuit of the user interface portion and a second communications circuit adapted to communicate with a cellular network. The cellular portion is removably coupled to the user interface portion so as to allow a user of the cellular telephone to communicate over a cellular network by using the user interface portion while the cellular portion is separated from the user interface portion. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Described herein is an apparatus comprising a location-awareness determination circuit configured to determine a location of the apparatus; at least one processor configured to determine at least one contextual factor of the apparatus including a type identifier of the determined location; an app-management facilitator configured to activate at least one mobile application (“app”) that is associated with the determined location of the apparatus based, at least in part, upon the determined at least one contextual factor; and deactivate at least one of the selected apps on the apparatus when the apparatus exits the location, based on the determined at least one contextual factor of the apparatus.

A terminal apparatus that can connect to an audio instrument by one or both of a first wireless communication system or a second wireless communication system having a bandwidth narrower than that of the first wireless communication system, the terminal apparatus being configured to determine whether or not the first wireless communication system is adopted for connection when a button to display a library is tapped, connect to the audio instrument by the first wireless communication system in a case where the determination result is affirmative, and connect to the audio instrument by the second wireless communication system in a case where the determination result is negative.
