International Classification:

H04L 1200

US Classification:

395500

Abstract:

An option attach connector has a first indicator bit combination that alerts the device that a public switched telephone network connection has been made to it. The presence of the first indicator bit combination is a signal to the device that telephone, FAX, and E-mail communications applications are to be conducted over a PSTN link. The presence of the first indicator bit combination invokes the stored computer program to display images of menus, keypads, and visual presentations on the LCD display that are consistent with a basic display layout for both cellular telephone network and PSTN modes, but that include customized presentation features that are unique to the PSTN mode of communications. The presence of a second indicator bit combination different from the first indicator bit combination invokes the stored computer program to display corresponding images of menus, keypads, and visual presentations on the LCD display that are consistent with the basic display layout for both cellular telephone network and PSTN modes, but that include customized presentation features that are unique to the cellular telephone network mode of communications.

International Classification:

G06F 1730
H04M 127

US Classification:

395603

Abstract:

A data processing device and method for searching a database having a plurality of entries to locate entries which match a search string. Each entry within the database is arranged into one or more predetermined search fields which each contain a character string. In response to receipt of a search string, a determination is made whether the search string is a subset of a particular entry within the database. In response to the determination that the search string is a subset of a particular entry, the particular entry is recorded as a matching entry. However, in response to a determination that the search string is not a subset of a particular entry, a determination is made whether a modified search string formed by removing delimiters from the search string is a subset of a character string within a particular predetermined search field within the particular entry. In response to a determination that the modified search string is a subset of the character string, the particular entry is recorded as a matching entry. Thereafter, the foregoing steps are repeated for each of the number of entries within the database such that matching entries within the database are efficiently located.

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

In a personal communications device having a touch sensitive display screen, text may be marked by a user to be used with different applications. In particular, to begin marking, a user has to maintain his touch at a location on the screen for a short predetermined period of time until the system detects that the position is held over the same character for a delayed period, at which time the system beeps to provide an indication that there has been a change of operation mode. The marking mode continues in operation until the user removes his contact from the touch screen. Thus, text over which the contact point passes after the initiation of the marking mode is marked, until the user removes his contact point from the touch screen. A second beep is sounded to alert the user of the termination of the marking mode, and the appearance of a menu of operations on the screen. The menu of operations echoes the marked text for user confirmation.

International Classification:

H04Q 732

US Classification:

379 58

Abstract:

A radio telephone which communicates via cellular telephone networks and by direct connection to a PSTN. The radio telephone includes a random access memory for storing a character string comprising dialing digits defining a calling number and DTMF digits representing signalling tones for accessing information to called equipment. The character string includes a delimiting character for separating dialed digits and DTMF digits. In a dialing sequence, the cellular radio will dial numbers defined by the dial digits and send the remaining characters as DTMF tones to connected telephone.

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 58

Abstract:

An option attach connector has a first indicator bit combination that alerts the device that a public switched telephone network connection has been made to it. The presence of the first indicator bit combination is a signal to the device that telephone, FAX, and E-MAIL communications applications are to be conducted over a PSTN link. The presence of the first indicator bit combination invokes a stored computer program to provide appropriate connections between the PSTN link and the telephone, FAX, and modem hardware in the device. The connections are made by an audio multiplexer that receives control signals from the system CPU, while executing the stored computer program. The program determines the communications application selected by the user and selectively configures the PSTN link to be connected to the either the ear piece and microphone for voice communications, or to the FAX/modem for FAX communications, or to the modem alone for E-MAIL communications. The absence of the option attach connector invokes a default indicator bit combination that alerts the device that a cellular telephone network connection is desired by the user. The presence of the default indicator bit combination is a signal to the device that telephone, FAX, and E-mail communications applications are to be conducted over a cellular network.

US Classification:

395828

Abstract:

A field programming tool for a personal communications device, provides an automatic, capability to update computer programs stored in the device. The personal communications device includes an electrically programmable read only memory (EPROM), that stores the operating system programs and the applications programs to be loaded into a random access memory (RAM) for executed by a central processing unit (CPU) in the device. A reprogramming card is provided for the device, containing pre-stored new programs that are to be loaded into the EPROM of the device. A method is provided for automatically loading the new programs from the reprogramming card into the EPROM, in an accurate, foolproof manner. This is accomplished using a sequencing program stored on the reprogramming card and loaded into the RAM of the device, where it is executed. An option attach connector alerts the device that the reprogramming card is connected to the PCMCIA slot of the device.
