Selective and protected release of private information/data to an incident response team (for example, public safety personnel) is disclosed. The private data (which pertains to individuals recorded as being within a premises at the time of an incident with respect to which the incident response team is responding to) may take the form of a system-generated log, which may be transferred to a first level of the public safety personnel once authenticated. Based on at least one of role, incident type, and incident severity, the first level of authenticated public safety personnel may release at least a portion of the private data to a second level of authenticated public safety personnel.

A converged communication device comprises a first processor operable using a first communications protocol and a second processor operable using a second communications protocol. The first processor is configured to detect a factory reset. The factory reset selectively enables one of a multi-tier factory reset comprising: a factory reset of both the first and second processor; a factory reset of the first processor only; and a factory reset of the second processor only. The configuration may be triggered by an external input to the converged communication device.

Improved management of broadband data communications is provided to a converged portable communication device. The converged device provides restricted broadband communications during a normal operative mode of the device. Upon detecting a user-initiated external event, the converged device enters a pseudo-off state in which unrestricted broadband data transfers take place between an applications processor and a broadband modem, while LMR operations controlled by a baseband processor and baseband modem, are turned off

A process for scheduling downloads for communication devices connected to a download server through a common access point. In operation, the download server receives a download request from a first communication device. The download request includes a unique access point identifier of a first access point through which the first communication device is connected to the download server. The download server identifies an access point record that is linked to the unique access point identifier of the first access point and updates the identified access point record to include the first communication device in a communication devices list included in the identified access point record. When a count of communication devices included in the communication devices list is greater than the predetermined count threshold, the download server delays an execution of a download service corresponding to the download request received from the first communication device.

A method and apparatus for mission critical standby of a portable communication device are disclosed. A portable communication device may include a primary processor for a first operating platform, a secondary processor for a second operating platform and communicatively coupled to the primary processor, and a power state manager that may have a first mode and a second mode. The power state manager may be configured to determine whether the primary processor is in a powered off state and sequence supply of power to the secondary processor. The first mode may allow the primary processor to monitor a power state of the secondary processor based on a determination that the primary processor is not in the powered off state and the second mode may enable the power state manager to monitor the power state based on a determination that the primary processor is in the powered off state.

Devices and methods for receiving a data file in a communication system. In one embodiment, the wireless communication device includes a transceiver, a memory, and an electronic processor. The transceiver is configured to send and receive data over a wireless communication network. The electronic processor is electrically coupled to the transceiver and the memory and configured to receive, with the transceiver, a first seed, a sequence of blocks, and a subsequent seed, cause the memory to save the sequence of blocks in the memory, and determine whether the subsequent seed is aligned with the first seed. When the subsequent seed is not aligned with the first seed, the electronic processor is configured to cause the memory to delete the sequence of blocks. When the subsequent seed is aligned with the first seed, the electronic processor is configured to cause the memory to maintain the sequence of blocks.

A method and apparatus for changing geofence-based operating parameters is provided herein. During operation, all members within a first geofence will have their radio parameters change to those used within a second geofence when a member of the first geofence crosses into the second geofence. Therefore, even though a particular member of the first geofence may not have crossed over the second geofence, the particular member will still have their radio parameters changed to those in use within the second geofence if a member of the first geofence has crossed the second geofence.

A method and circuit for mitigating RFI in an electronic device that occurs while the device is in a low power mode utilizes one or more antenna elements in the device to receive RF energy. When the RF energy is sufficiently high that it could affect signal states in the device while in the low power mode, the device transitions from the low power mode to an active mode and begins an RFI mitigation process to ensure signal states and other circuit operations in the device are not changed by the RFI.

A method and apparatus for scanning amongst two-way radios is disclosed. The method includes applying a scan probability index (SPI) to each member of a scan list, the SPI indicating a likelihood of channel activity. The SPI is dynamically updated by a variety of processes. Members are loaded from the scan list, and the SPI of the loaded member is compared to a threshold. Members are skipped or checked for activity based on the SPI passing or failing the threshold. Members having a sufficient SPI will proceed to have detected channel activity decoded. The method and apparatus may utilize both normal scan members and vote scan member frequencies.

The invention concerns a method () and system () for suppressing receiver audio regeneration. The method () includes the steps of receiving a communication signal (), at a Radio Frequency (RF) unit (), demodulating the communication signal to an audio signal (), monitoring a volume level of the audio signal (), and shifting the pitch of the audio signal when the volume level reaches a predetermined threshold (), and playing the pitch-shifted audio signal out of a speaker to produce a pitch-shifted acoustic signal (). The method can shift the pitch of the audio signal to produce a pitch-shifted acoustic signal with signal properties suppressing regeneration of the acoustic signal onto the audio signal at the RF unit. The amount of pitch-shifting can be a function of the volume level.
