Abstract
A method of operating a computer having an audio device driver (ADD) for driving a soundcard (1), and an application manager (AM) for interfacing the ADD with an audio compression manager (ACM) to facilitate the transfer of uncompressed audio data between the ADD and ACM and for interfacing the ACM with an external data transfer channel (10) to facilitate the transfer of compressed audio data between the ACM and the external data transfer channel (10). The method comprises providing a data transfer manager (DTM) in place of the ACM, the DTM facilitating the transfer of compressed audio data between an external mobile phone (11) and the external data transmission channel (10) via the AM whilst generating dummy control and uncompressed audio data for use by the AM in interfacing with the ADD.

A method of operating a computer having an audio device driver (ADD) for driving sound control hardware, and an application manager (AM) for interfacing the ADD with an audio compression manager (ACM) to facilitate the transfer of uncompressed audio data between the ADD and ACM and for interfacing the ACM with an external data transfer channel to facilitate the transfer of compressed audio data between the ACM and the external data transfer channel, the method comprising
- providing a data transfer manager (DTM) in place of the ACM, the DTM facilitating the transfer of audio data between an external mobile communication device and the external data transmission channel via the AM whilst generating data for use by the AM in interfacing with the ADD.
A computer having an audio device driver (ADD) for driving sound control hardware, and an application manager (AM) for interfacing the ADD with an audio compression manager (ACM) to facilitate the transfer of uncompressed audio data between the ADD and ACM and for interfacing the ACM with an external data transfer channel to facilitate the transfer of compressed audio data between the ACM and the external data transfer channel, the computer comprising a data transfer manager (DTM) in place of the ACM, the DTM facilitating the transfer of audio data between an external mobile communication device and the external data transmission channel via the AM whilst generating data for use by the AM in interfacing with the ADD.
A storage medium containing thereon a computer program for operating a computer, the computer having an audio device driver (ADD) for driving sound control hardware, and an application manager (AM) for interfacing the ADD with an audio compression manager (ACM) to facilitate the transfer of uncompressed audio data between the ADD and ACM and for interfacing the ACM with an external data transfer channel to facilitate the transfer of compressed audio data between the ACM and the external data transfer channel, said computer program
- providing a data transfer manager (DTM) for replacing the ACM, the DTM facilitating the transfer of audio data between an external mobile communication device and the external data transmission channel via the AM whilst generating data for use by the AM in interfacing with the ADD.
