==Apparatus for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls, a power management circuit, and a method for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114094 titled 'Apparatus for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls, a power management circuit, and a method for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an apparatus for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls, with a power management circuit to switch off parts of the apparatus in a power down mode if the supply voltage drops below a threshold.

* Wide area network circuit transmits voice call data packets
* Phone connection circuit receives voice call signal from a phone
* Processor circuit generates voice call data packets based on received signal
* Power management circuit switches off parts of the apparatus in power down mode if supply voltage drops below threshold

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be used in:
* Mobile phones
* VoIP devices
* Telecommunication systems

== Problems Solved ==
* Power consumption management
* Efficient use of resources
* Reliable voice call connections

== Benefits ==
* Extended battery life
* Improved power efficiency
* Enhanced reliability of voice calls

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimized Power Management for Voice Call Devices

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be power management systems in mobile devices that optimize power usage based on different modes of operation.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does the apparatus determine when to switch off parts in power down mode? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on the criteria used to determine when to switch off parts of the apparatus in power down mode.

=== What is the impact of switching off parts of the apparatus on the overall performance of voice calls? ===
The patent application does not discuss the potential impact on voice call quality or reliability when parts of the apparatus are switched off in power down mode.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an apparatus for providing a connection to a wide area network for voice calls includes a wide area network circuit configured to transmit voice call data packets, a phone connection circuit configured to receive a voice call signal from a phone, a processor circuit configured to generate voice call data packets based on a voice call signal received by the phone connection circuit and a power management circuit configured to switch off at least a part of the apparatus to reach a power down mode of the apparatus, if a supply voltage drops below a supply voltage threshold.
