    摘要: A communication system (20) is provided with multiple purpose personal communication devices (50 and 150). Each communication device (50 and 150) includes a touch-sensitive visual display (60 and 160) to communicate text and graphic information to and from the user and for operating the communication device (50 and 150). Voice activation (78) and voice control capabilities (76) are included within communication devices (50 and 150) to perform the same functions as the touch-sensitive visual display (60 and 160). The communication device includes a built-in modem (82), audio input and output (52 and 53), telephone jacks (86), and wireless communication (90). A plurality of application modules (100) are used with personal communication devices (50 and 150) to perform a wide variety of communication functions such as information retrievable, on-line data base services, electronic and voice mail. Communication devices (50 and 150) and application modules (100) cooperate to allow integrating multiple functions such as real time communication, information storage and processing, specialized information services, and remote control of other equipment into an intuitively user friendly apparatus. The system (20) includes both desktop (150) and hand-held communication devices (50) with the same full range of communication capabilities provided in each type of communication device (50 and 150).

    摘要: A communications control system for enabling a small computer system, such as a personal computer, to emulate a terminal and thus to communicate with a remote system. Incoming data from the remote system is entered into a circular buffer on an interrupt basis. The communications control system alternately scans the circular buffer for newly entered data and the keyboard for operator generated messages. Any control characters are decoded and appropriate actions taken. Received alphanumeric characters are stored in a display memory for video display and in a system RAM for later retrieval and study. The display memory is optionally loaded in an intelligent wrap mode in which words are not broken on wrap around or a non-wrap mode which preserves the columns of the data as originally received. Scrolling controls enable the operator to enter a desired portion of the data stored in the system RAM into the display memory for viewing in either wrap-on or wrap-off modes. This invention also provides control of data transfer to and from the received line memory and local peripherals. In the preferred embodiment, the system is embodied by a plug in ROM module used with a compatible personal computer.
