Method and apparatus for establishing an audio link to a wireless earpiece in reduced time
First Claim
1. A method for establishing a wireless audio link between a mobile communication device and an associated remote audio processor, comprising:
- establishing an asynchronous link between the remote audio processor and the mobile communication device;
receiving an incoming dispatch call at the mobile communication device, including audio information;
in response to receiving the incoming dispatch call, notifying the application processor of the mobile communication device with a high priority dispatch notification, performed by a baseband processor of the mobile communication device;
servicing the high priority dispatch notification at the application processor by initiating a synchronous link with the remote audio processor;
transmitting the audio information from the mobile communication device to the remote audio processor over the synchronous link.

Abstract
A mobile communication device (100) contains a local wireless controller (114) for operating with a remote audio processor (124). The remote audio processor is used for listening to and speaking with remote parties via the mobile communication device, and operates in a mode having a relatively long latency in communicating with the mobile communication device. Upon receiving a dispatch call (306), a baseband processor (108) of the mobile communication device notifies an application processor (110) with a high priority dispatch notification (122). The high priority dispatch notification causes an active link to be established between the mobile communication device and remote audio processor sooner than if were to occur with ordinary call processing.

8. A mobile communication device, comprising:
-
a communications transceiver;
a baseband processor operably coupled to the communications transceiver;
an application processor operably coupled to the baseband processor; and
a local wireless network transceiver operably coupled to one of the baseband processor and the application processor, and in communication with a remote audio processor via a wireless asynchronous link;
wherein, upon receiving a dispatch call via the communications transceiver, the baseband processor initiates a high priority dispatch notification to the application processor for causing the local wireless network transceiver to commence establishing a synchronous link with the remote audio processor over which audio information is transmitted from the mobile communication device to the remote audio processor. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A method for establishing an active wireless communication link between a mobile communication device and a remote audio processor, comprising:
-
establishing a long latency link between the mobile communication device and the remote audio processor, the long latency link allowing the remote audio processor to operate in a low power mode;
receiving a dispatch call at the mobile communication device, the dispatch call including audio information from a remote party;
generating a high priority dispatch notification a baseband processor of the mobile communication device; and
servicing the high priority dispatch notification by initiating an active link between the mobile communication device and the remote audio processor. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
