Cell phone wireless speaker-microphone sleep modes
First Claim
1. A radio transceiver hand held host system, comprising:
- first and second wireless transceiver units operatively coupled to function as a single system;
the first wireless transceiver unit further comprising;
first and second radio front end circuit blocks for transmitting and receiving radio frequency communication signals utilizing first and second wireless communication protocols, respectively, the first and second radio front end circuit blocks further including a plurality of transceiver elements;
logic for prompting a processor module to control power levels of a plurality of transceiver and application elements according to an operational mode of the radio transceiver system; and
wherein the logic, based upon the operational mode of the radio transceiver system, controls power levels of at least one of the first and second radio front end circuit blocks and further prompts one of the first or second radio front end circuit blocks to transmit power mode control signals to prompt the second wireless transceiver unit to enter into a power saving mode; and
the second wireless transceiver unit further comprising;
third radio front end circuit block further including a plurality of transceiver elements for transmitting and receiving radio frequency communication signals utilizing the second wireless communication protocol; and
logic for prompting the third radio front end circuit block to control power levels of application elements and the plurality of transceiver elements of the third radio front end block.

Abstract
A hand held radio host includes circuitry for selectively providing power to radiating transceiver elements and non-radiating application elements according to a plurality of power modes of operation to achieve desired effects and in a way that saves power and extends battery life. In one embodiment of the invention, the hand held host operates in one of three modes. In a full power mode, any selected application element, as well as all transceiver elements, are powered on at the same time. Thus, for example, a cell phone module, a wireless personal access network module, a wireless local area network module, and one of a pager/short message service message module may all be powered on at the same time to receive corresponding messages, calls, data sessions, etc.
