HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND DOCKING
STATION WIRELESS SYSTEM
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a hand-held electronic device and docking station system, particularly for the wireless transmission and reception of data in the production of sound, most particularly music. The system does not require for the device and station to be in physical contact during the wireless transfer. The invention includes the device per se and the station per se.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Electronic handheld devices and accessories for the wireless receipt and/or transmission of data messaging servicing through a wireless data network are well-known.
For example, iPod Touch and iPhone music playing devices (Registered Trademarks of Apple Inc.) can interface with speaker systems. Such wireless handheld music players were initially designed as individual music players and, as a result, came with individual earphones, which clearly limits who could hear the music at any one time. The quality of sound and the ability to download music, anywhere and at anytime has resulted in a massive proliferation of these devices and a new market was born.
A so-called docking station is, in its most simple form, a device that interfaces, or `docks', with an aforesaid handheld music device and through a communications unit, which in the case of the aforesaid music players use proprietary interfaces to transfer data to a set of speakers, such as Apple's 30-pin connector. These docking stations allow a user to connect their wireless music device physically to the station for the set of speakers to play back the music and project the audio throughout a room. This enables the music to be heard by many people.
However, such known music players suffer from several major problems.
One significant limitation is that the music player must be physically connected to the speaker system at all times when sound is to be produced, either to the handheld mobile device ~er se or to a remote stationery speaker system, for example, through the "docking station" unit. This seriously limits the freedom of movement of the user.
Further, the functionality and utility of the music player is limited to controlling, say, the song choice and audio level.
Yet further, other desired tasks are suspended and put in abeyance while the handheld music player is playing music from the handheld device per se or on wall speakers.
There is, therefor, a need for an improved handheld music player which allows the user to perform multi-tasks simultaneously and remotely.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved handheld device which enables a user to listen to music on a remote speaker system remotely from the handheld devices which does not require a physical connection between the remote speaker system and the handheld music player.
It is a further object to provide aforesaid music player system which also allows the user to simultaneously perform other desired tasks.
The invention, thus, provides a multi-tasking music player system.
Thus, the present invention enables a user to wirelessly transmit and control songs through a Wi-Fi (internet) or cellular network.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention provides an electronic handheld device comprising a housing;
activation on-off means;
display face;
means for receiving and transmitting data;
user controls and instructing means to enable device to perform tasks;
characterized in further comprising device music data storage means for storing music data;
means for receiving said music data for storage in said storage means; and

The latter option will also be a less expensive option and slightly more flexible as the audio composite out can be connected to anything from televisions to computers to audio/video receivers.
There are three significant stages in setting up the interface connection between the handheld wireless device and the docking station. Firstly, music data application software is
3 installed in the handheld device. This controls the interfacing of the wireless device and the docking station. This can be done in numerous way, but the preferred manner is to download it off of the internet at a desired website provided, for example, by the handset manufacturer or the docking station manufacturer. After this software has been downloaded onto the handset wireless device, a directory, or "playlist", which contains all the data (music) that the user wishes to upload to the handset wireless device, is set up on the wireless handset device.
This is preferably done by creating the playlist on a personal computer and then synchronizing the computer with the handset wireless device, usually through a high-speed means, such as, for example, a universal serial bus (USB) cable.
After the playlist has been created and downloaded onto the handset wireless device, the user, preferably, will either physically connect the handset wireless device to the docking station in order to synchronize the two apparatus and set up the wireless connection or may establish the connection through a webpage that allows the use to configure the docking station from the handheld device without the need to physically connect the device. Once completed, the handset wireless device is removed from the docking station and is now ready to play music, wirelessly, through the docking station from the retrievable data of the wireless handset device.
In a yet further aspect, the invention provides a music data wirelessly transmittable and receivable system comprising in combination a handheld device, as hereinabove defined, with a wirelessly receivable station as hereinabove defined. Thus, the present invention allows a user to overcome the shortcomings of existing music generating systems by removing the need to physically connect the wireless device to the docking station when playing music. This is done by adding wireless support to the docking station, either by integrating the technology directly into the docking station, or by creating a peripheral accessory that can interface and transfer data to existing docking stations.
The present invention provides wireless support, and also preferably offers numerous processes, such as, to ensure quality of service over networks with fluctuating bandwidths; to ensure protocols and procedures are in place should the connection between the docking station and the wireless device be lost; to manage multiple wireless devices potentially connected to the docking station at the same time, to support multiple wireless handset manufacturers;
notwithstanding each have different software operating systems, to minimize wireless handset power dissipation; and to minimize complexity of installation or use.

notwithstanding each have different software operating systems, to minimize wireless handset power dissipation; and to minimize complexity of installation or use.
4 The invention also provides the advantage that the wireless handset device can remain with the user and allow the device to, simultaneously, perform other tasks while playing music, such as, surfing the web, checking email, updating schedules or contact information or download any number of potential other applications for an virtual infinite set of uses. In contrast, existing current wireless devices are reduced to being simple audio players.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram representing the architecture of a handheld device according to the prior art.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram representing the architecture of a receiving station with a handheld device in a system according to the invention.
With reference to Fig. 3, this shows the architecture of a handheld device and receiving station relationship shown generally as 10 having a central processing unit and memory board 12 used to store instructions and data. A wireless modem 14 receives a wireless signal from the handheld device. Received data from modem 14 is sent to CPU 16 which sends it to data storage media 18.
Data is subsequently retrieved from storage media 18 by CPU 16 and sent to audio input/output subsystem 20 which is connected to speakers 22.

16 to denote when system 10 is in use. Alternate standard interface 30 permits connection to the internet, PS's removable storage media and the like. Smartphone docking interface 32 provides for interface with CPU 16 when handheld device is physically remote from receiving (docking) station and wirelessly transferring music data to the station. This interface 32 enables the handheld device and receiving station to be synchronized and "talk" to each other.
Fig. 4 represents a software flowchart representing the operation relationship within and between a handheld device and receiving station system according to the invention wherein 100 is in respect of the receiving station and 200 of the handheld device.
The software application in operation instructs CPU 16 to transfer data from memory to wireless modem 14 for transmission to the docking station but at the same time allows the CPU to perform other tasks that the user may want to initiate (ie. email, web browsing, gaming, etc.) because the data transfer can run in the background as it does not require user input. This assumes that the CPU has sufficient cycles to perform these other tasks but this is rarely a limitation. For example, the CPU in prior art handheld devices can run at speeds up to 312Mhz allowing for numerous tasks to be performed since the transfer of data from the memory to the wireless modem would take only a very small percentage of the available CPU cycles.
Although this disclosure has described and illustrated certain preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to those particular embodiments. Rather, the invention includes all embodiments which are functional or mechanical equivalence of the specific embodiments and features that have been described and illustrated.
