In the following description, various specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of the invention. The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the practice of the invention does not require one or more specific details or other specific methods.

At least two different communication networks may be included in the communication system and environment, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000, CDMA2001, TD-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, UWC-136, DECT, and fourth generation (4G) communication service networks. A road network, etc., can be coupled to the Internet. For example, the user's mobile terminal device is coupled to the mobile phone network. Similarly, computers are coupled to the Internet. In one embodiment, the computer is coupled to the Internet through an access point. It should be noted that the number of terminal devices can vary and the invention will cover any number of possible terminal devices. These devices include but are not limited For PDAs, tablets, laptops, and mobile phones or smart phones, these devices have access to the Internet. Data exchange between devices can be implemented directly via the Internet.

The terminal devices can be located in different networks, and the different networks refer to the Internet and mobile phone networks as an example. An exchange service mechanism bridges the two different networks described above to enable communication between the terminal devices of the two networks. That is, the exchange service mechanism can relay and connect services between systems or networks, which are well known to those skilled in the art. An access point (or hotspot) is coupled to the Internet to provide an entry point for the regional network for wireless communication. One aspect of the present invention is that the above system includes a portable device having dual network capabilities. The device can transmit or receive data via the mobile phone network or the Internet. The data transmitted or received includes audio, video or audio and video.

Referring to the first figure, a functional diagram of a portable device 10 having dual network functionality is shown. The dual-channel portable terminal 10 has a SIM card connector carrying a SIM card, which is a conventional technology, and is not necessary in other kinds of mobile phones such as PHS or some CDMA system SIM cards. This drawing is intended to be illustrative, and not to limit the scope of the invention. The portable terminal device or device 10 includes a first and a second wireless data transmission module 200A and 200B. The first wireless data transmission module 200A can be a video RF module for transmitting or receiving mobile phone signals, which is well known to those skilled in the art. The radio frequency unit is coupled to an antenna system 105 as is conventional in the art. The above RF module may include a base band processor and the like. The antenna is connected to a transceiver for receiving and transmitting signals. The first wireless data transmission module 200A is compatible with various mobile phone protocols, such as W-CDMA, CDMA2000, CDMA2001, TD-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, UWC0136, DECT, 4G systems. These systems allow users to communicate using video communications. The RF module can be used to perform functions such as transmission and reception of signals, synchronization of frequencies, fundamental frequency processing, and digital signal processing. The hardware interface of the SIM card is used to accommodate a SIM card. Finally, the signals are transmitted to the final actuators, i.e., an audio input/output unit 190 includes a speaker and microphone 153. Modules 200A and 200B may be formed by individual modules (wafers) or integrated chips (ICs).

The device 10 can also include a digital signal processor (DSP) 122, a codec (not shown), and an analog/digital converter 125. The present invention comprises a central control unit 100, a display 162, an operating system (OS) 145 and a memory 155. The memory 155 comprises a ROM program memory, a RAM memory and a non-volatile flash memory ( Nonvolatile FLASH memory). All of the above units are coupled to the central control unit 100, respectively. Have Line input/output interface 150 can be coupled to central control unit 100. The wired input/output interface may be a universal serial bus (USB) or IEEE 1394.

The device 10 further includes a second wireless data transmission module 200B. In one embodiment, it employs a wireless short-range (area) network module and is compatible with regional or metropolitan network protocols or other specifications, such as Wi-Fi specifications or 802.11x (x refers to a, b, g, n) modules with compatible specifications. Short distance means that the communication distance is shorter than the communication distance of the mobile phone. Furthermore, the wireless local area network module is compatible with WiMAX specifications or standards. An internet telephony module (software) 132 is coupled to the central control unit 100 to enable it to transmit audio, video or audio and video to the internet or receive over the internet via the wireless area wireless transmission module Audio, video or audio and video. The Internet telephony module 132 can at least conform to the specifications of the VoIP network voice over internet protocol (VoIP). Through the Internet telephony module 132 and the wireless local area network module 200B, the user can use the Internet telephony module 132 to simultaneously transmit and receive audio, video or audio and video over the Internet. If the user wants to perform instant video transmission, an image capturing module 152 is required to be coupled to the central control unit 100 to facilitate video image capture. The image capturing module 152 can be a digital camera or a digital video recorder. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a real time portable conference anytime, anywhere. In another embodiment, the difference is that the above device can omit the radio frequency module. If the device 10 includes a 3G or higher order RF module, the user will be able to transmit the video call via air. Therefore, users can choose to make video calls over the Internet or air according to their needs. If the above device is located in a hotspot area, since the transmission rate of the Internet telephony is relatively low, the user can choose to use the Internet telephony module for communication. If it is outside the range of hotspots, other options for video communication are available. In general, WCDMA signals are less geographically restricted, but their transmission rates are higher. The invention will allow the user to select an appropriate wireless module for performing video communication. If the user wants to perform video communication via WiFi or WiMax, the method includes coupling to the Internet or hotspot, and then starting the Internet telephony module (software). Then, the audio signal is input by the speaker and the image data is captured by the image capturing device. Then, the image data and the audio signal are converted into digital signals. After the conversion, the image data and the sound signal are composed, compressed and processed to form a data stream. Therefore, the above information can be actually transmitted to the receiver. When transmitting digital music and video, the channel decoder output having a bit error rate (BER) of less than about 10-5 is considered to be preferred. The bits in a particular source coded bit stream (eg, a compressed audio, video, or video bitstream) typically have different levels of impact on the quality of the reconstructed signal. importance. Therefore, it is often desirable to provide different levels of channel error protection for the original code bitstreams of different segments. A technique for providing unequal error protection (UEP) using different channel coding is described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/022,144, filed on Feb. 11, 1998, entitled, "Uniform Error Protection for Perceptual Audio Coders". An original code bit stream is divided into bits of different classes, providing error protection for different classes of different classes.

A single or multiple multi-illumination sources module can be coupled to the control unit 100 for video communication in dim or low light environments. Thus, a photo sensor is coupled to a switch coupled to the multiple illumination source module. When the intensity of the light is less than a predetermined level, the control unit will activate the illumination in response to the signal detected by the light sensor to provide the light required for video communication or photography. One mode of the illumination source may be a night vision mode such as an infrared (IR) mode. It can support video communication mode or video shooting mode in dark environments. Another mode can be a flash mode to provide a flash when photographing at low light intensities. The user can select the mode by a mode selector coupled to the switch. The lighting module includes an infrared device and an LED that emits white light. Furthermore, the lighting module includes a xenon illumination device. The gas system is supplied to the discharge region during the generation of charged particles to replace most of the air. The gas system is a combination gas which is primarily nitrogen and has a specific amount of argon, helium, neon or krypton to provide a catalyst for ionizing the nitrogen. The user can select the appropriate lighting according to different conditions and different purposes. In particular, the present invention can perform video communication in a dim environment.

The device can be coupled to the Internet via a wired I/O interface or wireless local area network module 200B and upload or download data, including digital data such as text format, video format, audio or video. A wired input/output interface is coupled to the central control unit 100. The application of the above devices is very economical and convenient. In addition, when the regional wireless transmission module detects the signal of the Internet, the user can dial the telephone to other people through the Internet telephone module to save transmission costs. Otherwise, users can use WCDMA for video communication. With the implementation of the present invention, the purpose of real-time video conferencing can be achieved anytime and anywhere. Furthermore, the present invention provides simultaneous dual mode (3G or Internet video telephony) portable audio/video communication.

The second figure shows another embodiment of the present invention, and since almost all of the elements are the same as those of the first figure, the detailed description is omitted. It provides a signal analysis unit 107 for analyzing the signal strength of the dual communication module, the first and second wireless transmission modules 200A and 200B. The results of the analysis will be provided to the module A module switcher 103 is used to automatically switch modules or manually set by a standby setting interface 185. In order to implant a multi-party video communication, the device 10 includes an image segmentation unit 126 coupled to the control unit 100 for synchronously dividing the display area on the display and displaying the received image. The received image will be assigned to the divided display area on the display, and the display area can be independent (separated, overlap or partial overlap). See Figure 3 The plurality of images are transmitted to a multi-tasking module 500 for processing images received by the plurality of parties. The images are first processed by the image segmentation unit 126 before the image data signals are transmitted to the display 162. The image processing unit 510 can be employed to adjust the processed image prior to display.

The present invention further includes a dynamic sequencing module 1700 coupled to the control unit to analyze contacts most frequently communicated with the user, such as most frequent correspondents, most frequent emails, most frequent live chats, or most frequently visited websites. , blog or Facebook. The dynamic sorting module 1700 sorts the communication information, the web address or the account number based on the frequency used in a period; during the use period, a selection interface can be provided according to the hour, day, week, month or quarter period to facilitate the user to select . Therefore, the dynamic sorting module 1700 will calculate or count the most frequently communicated or used information in the above period according to the dynamic sorting module 1700 itself or an additional counter, and sort the above accounts or contacts, and sort them according to the frequency or frequency of use. Displayed at the top or first page of the user interface, automatically and maneuvered according to the frequency. For example, if it is a phone book, the phone book is sorted according to the frequency of use, not just the strokes or letters. Tradition is only sorted by strokes or letters, resulting in frequently used letters or strokes with more surnames or names, which are ranked last, and must be turned to the end to obtain information, which is very inconvenient; the information that is not often used is ranked first. The present invention will dynamically sort and place the most frequent users at the forefront, see Figures 4 and B. The dynamic sorting module 1700 dynamically rearranges contacts and their information based on the frequency of use. The handheld communication device also includes a phone filter module 1800 coupled to the control unit; the phone filter module 1800 includes a display interface on the display, so that the user can input a blacklist or its related communication information or account number, when the listed blacklist calls Or during communication, the phone filter module 1800 checks whether the caller or the correspondent is blacklisted; if so, it directs it to the voicemail or hangs up directly.
