摘要:
A communications device according to the invention comprises a telephone set (7), which has a first control device (9) and a main data memory (8) for storing first data, and at least one data input unit (1) which can be connected to the telephone set (7) and has a second control device (3) and an auxiliary data memory (2) for storing second data which represent a part of the first data and via which the first data can be accessed. Both control devices (9, 3) are designed such that, in the event of a data change in one of the data memories, they allow a corresponding change to be made to the data assigned to them in the other data memory.

An interactive directory provided for a workstation having a connected video monitor and adapted for network access has an interactive display for displaying status for individual entities, being persons and organizations. Entities are listed in the display along with status for each entity. There may be multiple fields for status, and some fields display telephone numbers and/or IP addresses for Internet telephones, while others may provide alphanumeric display. A remote access contact address is stored and associated with each directory entity, and when the directory is active, the workstation accesses status information from network sources associated with individual directory listings. Status for entities in the directory is therefore updated in real time as the directory is used. In some embodiments multiple graphic indicia, such as underlining, shading, font choice and the like are used to provide status indication in various fields of the interactive display. In some embodiments alpha-numeric status is provided as well. In other embodiments telephone calls, including Internet telephone calls, may be placed by interactive input to the directory.

摘要:
A communication support system includes a predetermined signal detection unit which detects a predetermined signal sent by a telephone unit when a telephone call between the telephone unit and a telephone network is in progress. A telephone condition detection unit detects a condition of the telephone unit. A line unit disconnects the telephone unit from the telephone network and connects the telephone unit to a data processing device when the predetermined signal is detected. A voice recognition unit determines which of a plurality of telephone services is indicated by a voice command signal sent by the telephone unit when the telephone unit is disconnected from the telephone network and connected to the data processing device. A telephone service processing unit executes a telephone service processing for the telephone service determined by the voice recognition unit, the telephone service processing unit starting execution of the telephone service processing in response to control data sent by the voice recognition unit.
摘要:
An improved portable telephone and an improved inside rearview mirror assembly coacting with the portable telephone to provide an improved mobile telephone system. The portable telephone includes a housing of generally rectangular configuration defining a recess in one face of the housing, a microphone mounted in the housing, an arm pivotally mounted at one end thereof on the housing for movement between a stowed position in which it is positioned in the housing recess and an extended position in which the other end of the arm is positioned in spaced relation to the housing, and a speaker mounted on the other end of the arm. The rearview mirror assembly includes a bracket assembly mounted on top of the rearview mirror and including a holster defining a socket for receipt of the portable telephone. External contacts on the telephone coact with contacts in the socket to establish electrical communication between the telephone and the transceiver of the vehicle when the telephone is inserted into the holster. Alternatively, the mobile telephone may be built permanently into the rearview mirror assembly.
摘要:
A radiotelephone (10) simulates the call origination process performed by land-line telephones. Dial tone is generated (78) in response to an off-hook condition and removed when a first digit (54) is dialed. A timer process (84, 110) and a number analysis process (100) simultaneously evaluate dialed digits to detect the completion of dialing. The number analysis process (100) identifies seven, ten, and eleven digit, and indeterminate length phone number formats (64, 66, 52, 68). The ten digit format is recognized in response to remotely programmed (42) connected NPA codes. For most calls, the number analysis process (100) instantly detects a phone number's final digit (62). In a few cases the timer process (84, 110) detects the final digit through the absence of dialing activity for a predetermined duration. When the final digit (62) is detected, an origination message is transmitted to a cellular network.
摘要:
A telephone having a user interface, comprising user input means; output means; and control means responsive to a first actuation of the user input means to cause subsequent items to be indicated for selection by the output means, and responsive to another actuation of the user input means to select the currently-indicated item. The telephone could be a reduced user interface portable telephone.
摘要:
A method and system are provided within a communication system to quickly make a connection with an access point by using a simple operation. When a communication terminal, such as a personal computer (PC) that has a communication function, is to access a communication network, one of the access points that is the most accessible is selected based on access experience data acquired from past access processing, and the connection at the access point is performed.
摘要:
A telecommunications system and device for providing a notification or warning of pending or imminent danger to the public. The system provides the communication of a desired warning signal and the geographic coverage for such signal, the subsequent data search and issuing of such signals, and a preprogrammed, AC/DC powered alarm/notification device which is coupled to individual telephone lines within homes and businesses. The alarm/notification device constantly monitors the telephone line for specific codes, and upon receipt of such codes, is activated to provide visual and/or audio alert notification.
摘要:
A text input device (10) and a method of data entry for entering text in a language (e.g. Zhuyin phonetic Chinese), in which a character is representable as a first symbol selected from a first subset of symbols and a second symbol selected from a second subset of symbols, where the first and second subsets are mutually exclusive. A first key on which is displayed a first subset of symbols is activated (e.g. any one of keys 1-6). A candidate first symbol is displayed in response to the step of activating the first key. A second key is activated on which is displayed a second subset of symbols (e.g. any one of keys 7-0). The candidate first symbol is fixed and a candidate second symbol is displayed in response to activating the second key. A third key can be activated (e.g. any one of keys 7-0), on which is displayed a further subset of symbols, whereupon the candidate second symbol is fixed.
