Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a communication device. The methods comprise: monitoring, by the processor, states of snap-dome based switches of a keypad provided with the communication device; activating, by the processor, a first timer when the snap-dome based switches are simultaneously activated; detecting, by the processor, when maintenance of the communication device is needed based on a value of the first timer; and causing, by the processor, performance of communication device maintenance based on the detecting, for immersion time and immersion depth fatigue.
Claims22
A method for operating a communication device, comprising:
- monitoring, by the processor, states of snap-dome based switches of a keypad provided with the communication device;
- activating, by the processor, a first timer when the snap-dome based switches are simultaneously activated;
- detecting, by the processor, when maintenance of the communication device is needed based on a value of the first timer;
- and
- causing, by the processor, performance of communication device maintenance based on the detecting.
A communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising programming instructions that are configured to cause the processor to implement a method for operating a communication device, wherein the programming instructions comprise instructions to:
- monitor states of snap-dome based switches of a keypad provided with the communication device;
- activate a first timer when the snap-dome based switches are simultaneously activated;
- detect when maintenance of the communication device is needed based on a value of the first timer;
- and
- cause performance of communication device maintenance based on the detecting.
