Method for reducing apparent latency in linking a call received at a mobile communication device to a remote audio processor
First Claim
1. A method for reducing apparent latency in linking a call received at a mobile communication device to a remote audio processor, comprising:
- establishing an asynchronous link between the remote audio processor and the mobile communication device;
receiving an incoming call page at the mobile communication device from a wireless communication system after the establishing, the incoming call page indicating the wireless communication system is attempting to connect an incoming call to the mobile communication device;
initiating a synchronous link between the remote audio processor and the mobile communication device, the synchronous link having a minimum set up time;
alerting a user of the mobile communication device of the incoming call after establishing the synchronous link; and
responding to the incoming call page at a time where the synchronous link will be established prior to the incoming call being established.

Abstract
A mobile communication device (100) uses a local wireless transceiver (108) to establish an asynchronous link (202) with a remote audio processor (110) which is typically operated in a low power mode and that maintains an association between the mobile communication device and remote audio processor. When the mobile communication device receives an incoming call page (210), the mobile communication device initiates a synchronous link with the remote audio processor, and responds to the incoming call page at a time when the call will be connected only after the synchronous link is established.

7. A mobile communication device, comprising:
-
a local wireless transceiver operable in an asynchronous link mode and a synchronous link mode for communicating with a remote audio processor; a communications transceiver which communicates with a communications base station; a controller operably coupled to the local wireless transceiver and the communications transceiver; wherein the local wireless transceiver establishes an asynchronous link with a remote audio processor, and upon reception of an incoming call page at the communications transceiver after the establishing, the incoming call page indicating a call is forthcoming, the controller alerts a user of the mobile communication device of the call after establishing an synchronous link, and the communications transceiver responds to the incoming call page at a time when the synchronous link mode is established prior to connection of the call. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of avoiding audio loss between a mobile communication device and an associated remote audio processor upon connection of a call, comprising:
-
establishing a data link between the remote audio processor and a local wireless transceiver of the mobile communication device; receiving an incoming call page at a communications transceiver of the mobile communication device after the establishing; subsequent to receiving the incoming call page, initiating a voice link between the remote audio processor and the local wireless transceiver; establishing the voice link; alerting a user of the mobile communication device of the incoming call page after establishing the voice link; and responding to the incoming call page at a time when connection of the call will occur only after establishing the voice link. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
