摘要:
Portions of transmitted messages, such as a portion of a service option field, can include a coded representation. The coded representation can correlate to previously stored information as retained at a receiving unit. Upon receiving the coded representation, the receiving unit can use it to access a specific item of previously stored information and then use that information. For example, a previously stored text message can be displayed and/or special annunciation tones can be used to signify specific events, such as the initiation of an interconnect or dispatch call type prior to actual complete initiation of such a call. In one embodiment, a relative station of transmission as corresponds to the coded representation can also be used to further aid in correlating the coded representation to a specific item of information.

A local-area RF communication unit (305) is incorporated in a portable housing, such as a briefcase (101), and adapted to communicate with personal communication devices, such as a handset (105) and notepad (107). One or more wide-area RF communication units (303) are disposed in the briefcase (101) and adapted to communicate with a wide-area communication system. The local-area RF communication unit (305) and the wide-area communication unit are selectively controlled by a microprocessor (301) within the briefcase (101).
摘要:
A personal communicating computer (112) (FIG. 1) remains in contact, via a wireless network, with an office server (101). Documents from various sources can be transmitted to the personal communicating computer (112) using this network. Upon receipt, such documents can be accessed and utilized in a variety of ways. In particular, such documents can be annotated in a variety of ways, and those annotations forwarded on to other destinations for appropriate review and handling.
