Definitions

  • the present invention is in the area of telecommunication systems and pertains in particular to integration of telephone devices with computers by use of digital signal processors and personal digital assistant devices.
  • PBX Packet Control Entities
  • LAN local area network
  • Modern PBXs offer features such as call forwarding, least-cost routing, station message recording, conferencing, hunting, and call restrictions.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show two PBX design options known to the inventors.
  • Fig. 1 is an external block diagram of what might be termed a "Smart PBX" system.
  • This design features one or more DSP cards in the PBX supporting voice mail, faxing, and other telecommunications operations. Control of the PCs is achieved through a LAN network.
  • This Smart PBX allows efficient internal switching, it can use existing telephones, and voice mail and other functions are independent of the PCs, so they work even if a PC is not available.
  • this solution requires major redesign of the PBX, with attendant development problems. There is also the expense of replacing the installed base of PBXs.
  • a smart phone with docking bays for functional modules, and functional modules to provide a broad selection of functions, as is needed in the art, may be provided in a number of forms according to the present invention.
  • One form retains the look and feel of a conventional telephone, but having docking bays and access to docked modules, as is more fully described below.
  • Another is in the familiar form of a portable computer, such as a notebook computer, wherein the computer may have multiple docking bays.
  • the system of the invention may take the exterior form of a personal computer desktop unit or workstation on a network, wherein the smartphone components may be integrated either with the computer elements or on functional cards dockable in one or more docking bays, as is described more fully below.
  • Fig. 16 is a block diagram of a ⁇ PDA docked in a docking bay of a host computer according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 23 is a plan view of a ⁇ PDA with an infrared communication interface according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Memory 1013 is preferably a nonvolatile device from 1 to 2 megabytes in this embodiment, and both control routines for applications and data files are stored in this memory.
  • Memory 1013 may be flash memory, CMOS ROM, CMOS RAM with battery, or a combination, with the software stored in ROM and the data in the flash memory.
  • the memory device is interfaced to microcontroller 101 1 via a dedicated bus structure 1017, and microprocessor 101 1 is configured to drive memory bus 1017.
  • security codes may be provided by a Read Only Memory (ROM) chip or other permanent or semi-permanent memory source.
  • Interface unit 1079 for a ⁇ PDA is small and compact enough to slip into a pocket book or briefcase, providing a very portable, yet very powerful, computer.
  • Fig. 21 is an isometric view of a ⁇ PDA 1010 docked in a dedicated cellular telephone 1405 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Telephone 1045 has a docking port 1049 for a ⁇ PDA according to the invention.
  • port 1049 is on one side of telephone 1045, and there is a window 1051 to provide access to I/O interface 1016 of the ⁇ PDA after it is docked.
  • I/O interface 1016 With the ⁇ PDA docked, all of the software and memory of the ⁇ PDA is available to the telephone and a user may operate the phone by I/O interface 1016.
  • a unique feature of the present invention is that the CPU for the notebook computer is provided as a CPU function module. This provides an ability for a user to tailor the CPU power to the other modules and application for the notebook computer, and an easy upgrade to more powerful CPUs.
  • module 2161 in a first alternative, conventional LAN card 2167 interfaces to a controller 2169 communicating over lines 2171 and 2173, and the controller translates between bus 2089 and the conventional LAN card.
  • a LAN card is provided with the translation built in, so no separate controller is needed. The first alternative is preferable.
