    摘要: A digital answering machine, electronic voice mail system, or any other voice messaging system integrating both non-speech data such as caller ID information or graphical or pictorial images together with associated speech data in common memory such that only one message table is necessary. The integrated common memory is divided into sectors, and each sector is divided into pages which each contain both speech and non-speech data. A single message table is associated with each corresponding set of speech and non-speech data, and includes an offset value indicating the beginning address of the speech data stored just above its associated non-speech data in the first linked page. The offset value is variable to provide an elastic non-speech data buffer to accommodate variable length non-speech data such as would be required by the various caller ID standards throughout the world.

    摘要: An adjunct Type II caller ID/call waiting (CIDCW) receiver unit is provided which has a greatly improved ability to detect tones and other call related information on a telephone line from a central office while the customer premises equipment is in an off-hook condition. The inventive adjunct CIDCW receiver unit is placed in series between the telephone line from the central office and the customer premises equipment, rather than in parallel with the customer premises equipment as in conventional adjunct CIDCW receiver units. A second telephone line interface (TLI) is included in the adjunct CIDCW receiver unit for connection to the customer premises unit to simulate the impedance of the telephone line. The adjunct CIDCW receiver unit has the ability to disconnect, mute or suppress the microphone signal from the customer premises equipment from being included in the signal received by the call related information receiver portion of the adjunct CIDCW receiver unit.

    摘要: A technique and apparatus for efficiently and flexibly utilizing shared memory as a full duplex mailbox for both data and payload information. The invention allows payload messages of varying lengths to be passed in contiguous memory space, allowing an interrupt service routine (ISR) or other process to easily and quickly read or cache the passed payload data. In a disclosed embodiment, a processor-to-processor mailbox is formed using a shared memory (e.g., a dual port RAM). The shared memory is separated into three main portions: a processor 1 to processor 2 fixed portion, a processor 2 to processor 1 fixed portion, and an unallocated dynamic portion. Importantly, the other direction of the mailbox is located starting at the highest address of the shared memory, and works toward the lowest address of the shared memory. Preferably, write access for payload messages and other generally longer messages are dynamically allocated in the unallocated dynamic portion for use in either mailbox. For messages passed in mailbox 1, i.e., from processor 1 to processor 2, the memory in the unallocated dynamic portion is allocated in a lowest to highest address direction. Conversely, for messages passed in mailbox 2, i.e., from processor 2 to processor 1, the memory in the unallocated dynamic portion is allocated in a highest to lowest address direction.

    摘要: A method of transmitting digital data between a base unit and a handset of a cordless telephone includes the step of transmitting a frame including a speech data portion, and a non-speech data portion. In one particular example, the size of the speech data portion and the size of the non-speech data portion are variable. In an alternative embodiment, a cordless telephone includes a base unit, including a codec adapted to convert analog speech data from a far end party to digital samples, a variable encoder adapted to encode the digital samples, and a transceiver adapted to transmit and receive encoded digital samples. The cordless telephone also includes a handset, including a transceiver adapted to transmit and receive encoded digital samples, a controller adapted to act on non-speech data, and a transducer adapted to be responsive to speech data. According to this embodiment, the variable encoder is adapted to encode a speech data portion of a frame based upon a non-speech data portion of the frame. In another alternative embodiment, a frame structure for digital RF communications between a base unit and a handset of a cordless telephone includes a speech data portion, and a non-speech data portion. In one particular example a size of the speech data portion and a size of the non-speech data portion are variable.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for adaptively, reliably, and accurately measuring the duration of an alerting or other signaling tone. A tone detector in accordance with the principles of the present invention accurately measures a duration of a tone burst (i.e., tone pulse) using a long frame length DFT and a short frame length DFT. Based on information obtained by the short frame length DFT, the long (i.e., standard) frame length DFT may be interrupted and reset to begin a new frame of data synchronized with the start of the next short frame corresponding to the processing by the short frame length DFT to minimize noise in the processing by the long frame length DFT and to greatly improve the resolution of the measurement of the duration of a particular tone to correspond to the lengths of the short frames used by the short frame length DFT. If desired, after a tone is initially detected, the frame length of the short frame length DFT can be iteratively reduced to increase a resolution of the measurement of a tone start time and a tone end time used to determine the duration of the detected tone burst.

    摘要: A method and apparatus to perform a real-time drift correction of a remote handset's local oscillator in a digital cordless telephone. The remote handset begins in a standby (sniff) mode. The remote handset periodically wakes from a sleep mode and goes into a normal link verification mode. Once in the link verification mode, the remote handset enters a time division duplexing (TDD) mode and attempts to establish a link with a base unit based on the timing of the TDD data frame. After the remote handset establishes a link with the base unit, the remote handset requests a security word from the base unit. Upon receiving the requested security word, the remote handset determines if the requested security word matches a security word of the remote handset. The remote handset implements a software frequency adjustment of its local oscillator. Once per frame, the remote handset enters a timing recovery state where the current state of the frame is compared with a previous state. When the cumulative timing slip is greater than a designated threshold, a frequency adjustment is made. During this exchange of commands between the remote handset and base unit, the remote handset continuously adjusts its local oscillator to achieve frequency alignment within, e.g., 1 part per million (ppm). Alternatively, frequency alignment may be achieved to a specified value.
