    摘要: An information service provider is disclosed which transmits wireless information having address data and message data. The information service provider, such as a computer operatively coupled to a transmitter capable of transmitting wireless information, transmits the wireless information to electronic devices such as watch receivers, stand-alone pagers, palmtop computers with receiver cards, pen based personal digital assistants, notebook computers, and the like. The information service provider sets a encoding rate to be an address rate, then transmits the address data of the electronic device(s) for which the message is intended at the address rate. The information service provider then adjusts the encoding rate to be a message rate different than the address rate, where the message rate corresponds to the address. This technique allows the information service provider to transmit, and the electronic device to process, different types of messages at different rates. This would allow, for example, long complex messages, such as news broadcasts, to be transmitted at a slower rate than shorter, less complex messages, such as personal pages and stock quotes, thereby decreasing the transmission errors of the long complex messages to a number capable of being corrected in a manner transparent to the user.

    摘要: A cellular phone has, in addition to an antenna, speaker and microphone, a device interface capable of transmitting electronic information between the cellular phone and an electronic device, such as a computer or modem, when the device is physically connected to the cellular phone. The cellular phone also has a battery pack. The battery pack has, in addition to a battery for powering the cellular phone, an infrared port for transmitting infrared information between the cellular phone and an electronic device with infrared capability. The infrared port is connected to an infrared converter, which is connected to the device interface. The infrared converter converts electronic information to infrared information for transmission between the cellular phone and the device over the infrared port. Existing cellular phones can be upgraded to obtain the ability to communicate with electronic devices over an infrared port by replacing the conventional battery pack contained in the existing cellular phone with an infrared battery pack of the type shown in the various embodiments of the invention.

    摘要: A computing system responds to an event that wakes the computing system from a sleep mode. The computing system recognizes the event and responds to the event. The response includes generating an event notification message that is transmitted to an external device separate from the computing system. The transmission is performed via wireless communication. The computing system then returns to the sleep mode.
