Definitions

  • the cellular phone provides the user with a highly convenient and efficient form of communication enabling the user to communicate from almost all locations within a cellular network.
  • Cellular phones are generally utilized by the business person as a business tool or by an individual for convenience and security.
  • cellular phones While cellular phones continue to be made smaller, certain disadvantages continue to remain in their structure and use. Principally, cellular phones require unique power packs, display screens, keypads and antennae to operate, with each phone being built according to the specific standard associated with a particular manufacturer. For example, the power packs developed for use with one phone system cannot be used with another phone system. As well, a cellular phone power pack can usually only be recharged by connection to a specific manufacture's recharging unit. Similarly, power packs for portable computers, portable cassette or compact disk players are not interchangeable with one another.
  • the radio communication means is selected from any one of or a combination of radio frequency (RF) telephone transceiver means, AM receiving means, FM receiving means, MB receiving means, SW receiving means, PM receiving means, CB transceiver means, video receiving means, satellite receiving means, and GPS receiving means.
  • RF radio frequency
  • the PCC includes PCC antenna means adapted for operative connection to the PCC for providing antenna function to the PCC and associated AED and/or modem means operatively connected to the PCC processor.
  • the PCS processor includes echo cancellation means and/or means for controlling wireline telephone communication through the AED and wireline telephone interface means for connecting the AED to a wireline telephone system and/or means for controlling cable telephone communication through the AED and cable network interface means for connecting the AED to a cable telephone system
  • FIGURE 5 is a block diagram of a portable compact disk or cassette player in accordance with the PCS
  • FIGURE 10 is a block diagram showing a payphone/home phone system in accordance with the PCS;
  • FIGURE 13 is a block diagram showing network connections in accordance with one embodiment of the PC S .
  • the PCC 14 includes a communication card interface 34 operatively connected to a PCC processor 36, the PCC processor 36 for controlling the operation of the PCC 14.
  • the PCC processor 36 is connected to a radio frequency (RF) module 40 and, preferably, an internal memory module 38.
  • the RF module 40 may also be connected to a PCC antenna module 42.
  • the PCC may include a modem module 44 internal or external to the PCC or as an integral component of the PCC processor 36.
  • the PCS processor 30 resides in a first standby mode wherein the PCS processor 30 continues to check for the presence of a PCC.
  • the PCS processor 30 While in the second standby mode, if an incoming call is detected, the PCS processor 30 will enter an interrupt mode (or foreground or primary pre-emptive mode in the case of a computer) wherein any primary AED function utilizing the microphone, speaker, display and/or input modules will be interrupted or disabled. Thereafter, the PCS processor 30 will activate the speaker module 22 providing the appropriate ringing signal and activate the display module 24 and input module 26, as appropriate. If a user is available to receive the incoming call, the user will press an appropriate key (or other input mechanism) on the input module 26 to open the call. Alternatively, the PCS processor 30 may be provided with an auto answer function for fax, voice mail or data functions.
  • the portable phone is unique among the AEDs as it is the only AED which may have no functionality without the PCC as it may only provide a low cost interface between the PCC and the user.
  • the portable phone body has the appearance of a mobile cellular phone consisting of a speaker, alert LED, LCD, keypad, microphone, and battery pack. When the PCC is docked and the PCC is fully powered the portable phone body becomes functional. Alternatively, embodiments are contemplated where the portable phone body would include primary functionality such as a personal data assistant.
  • FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a portable compact disk or cassette player in accordance with the PCS.
  • existing portable radios, compact disk or cassette players do not include microphone, enhanced display, enhanced keypad or antenna modules (in portable compact disk or cassette players) but do include both a power module and speaker system through a headset 99.
  • such a device is modified to include a PCS processor 100 and interface 101, enhanced display 102, enhanced input 103, microphone 104 and antenna 105 modules.
  • the placement of the PCC in the home phone prompts PCS processor ofthe home phone (or other AED) to place a landline call to the PCS service provider to have all wireless communication calls transferred to the home phone (or other AED).
  • PCS processor ofthe home phone or other AED
  • the PCC in addition to sending its technology identifier also sends its service provider's phone number and call forwarding commands. This solves the problem of having to program each home phone to accept every PCC. Once the home phone has successfully transmitted the call forwarding information power to the PCC is terminated.
  • the PCC may also include a modem for data communication across a cellular network.
  • the PCS may be used, for example, as an Internet data terminal or point-to-point data terminal, if the PCS processor and display module can support this function.
  • various functionality may be provided within the PCS processor.
  • the microphone module is not required for data connection and the speaker module is used to relay the modem connection signals to the user as a call setup process indication.
  • the PCS processor may enable the user to setup the system so as to not answer any incoming calls on the PCC.
  • the user commands the system via the remote control to make the connection via the PCC as a cellular modem.
  • the cable network interface 200 is provided with a splitter 200a for splitting the cable network function between AED cable function 200b and the PCC 14.
  • a PCS bandpass filter 200c may be provided between the splitter 200a and the auxiliary interface 210.
  • the antenna interface 202 is also provided with a splitter 202a for splitting the antenna function between the AED antenna function 202b and the PCC 14.
  • a PCS bandpass filter 202c may also be provided.
  • the radio module 40 decides which antenna function to use, that is either the cable network 200, AED antenna 202 or PCC antenna 42 through transceiver switch 40a. Accordingly, the transceiver module 40 determines the most appropriate communication function.
  • an AED may be provided with communication interfaces enabling both GPS receiver capabilities and cellular transceiver capabilities through the AED.
  • GPS receiver capabilities may be individual or combined with cellular capabilities or other radio receiver means intended for differential GPS (DGPS) use.
  • DGPS differential GPS

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet un système de communication radio modulaire assurant une capacité d'échanges par radio par l'intermédiaire de plusieurs dispositifs audio différents (AED). Ce système comprend une carte de communication portative (PCC) qui peut servir d'interface avec un certain nombre de dispositifs électroniques différents tels que des ordinateurs, des téléphones portatifs, des systèmes de radio portatifs, de voiture ou à usage domestique, des lecteurs de cassettes ou de disques compacts portatifs, des télévisions, des caméras vidéo, et des dispositifs de messagerie unidirectionnels et bidirectionnels. Tous ces dispositifs sont adaptés pour communiquer avec la carte de communication portative.
