Appeal 2007-1630 Application 10/422,661 We find representative claim 1 broadly but reasonably reads on the Pombo reference, as follows: Claim 1 Pombo A method for managing battery We find Pombo discloses a method energy usage by a mobile wireless for reducing power consumption in a network device comprising: portable, battery powered, communication device (See Abstract). determining that a period of signal We find Pombo discloses detection intermittence has started by detecting of transient control channels that are threshold conditions for a transient intermittently found and network signal being intermittently intermittently lost (col. 5, ll. 34-38; found and intermittently lost; col. 6, ll. 31-35). recording events of said threshold We find Pombo discloses recording conditions with operational criteria events of threshold conditions (signal associated with operational detection) with operational criteria conditions of the events; (i.e., the time when the signal was detected) in the control activity table (col. 5, ll. 34-38; col. 6, ll. 31-41; col. 12, ll. 13-28 and 56-67). upon each detection of network We find Pombo discloses detection signal loss of loss of a control channel (col. 11, ll. 28-31). determining from said event records We find Pombo discloses a nap termination condition determination of a nap termination condition (next control time) from data maintained in the control activity table (col. 11, ll. 53-55). upon which network signal has been We find Pombo discloses that the historically reliable following said next control time is the time when period of signal intermittence the control signal has been historically reliable (i.e., available), as stored in the activity table in memory 117 (col. 11, ll. 53-59). 9Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
