Abstract
A radio device (10) having radio device information specific to the radio device, for example regulatory summary file (18) and specification information, stored thereon. In some embodiments, the radio device information may be displayed on the radio device. The radio device may also include a radio device information server address, for example a Universal Resource Locator (URL) link to an information server (30) for accessing the radio device information locally from the radio device or from a remote client (40).
Claims18
A software defined radio device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor;
- a software programmable portion coupled to the processor, the software programmable portion having a first radio device configuration and a second radio device configuration,
- first radio device configuration regulatory information stored in the memory when the radio device is in the first radio device configuration,
- second radio device configuration regulatory information stored in memory when the radio device is in the second radio device configuration.
A radio device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor;
- radio device regulatory information specific to the radio device stored in the memory of the radio device;
- a display coupled to the processor, the display for displaying the radio device regulatory information;
- a radio device information server Universal Resource Locator (URL) address stored in the memory.
A radio device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory coupled to the processor;
- radio device information specific to the radio device stored in the memory of the radio device;
- a radio device information server address stored in the memory.
A method for obtaining radio device information, comprising:
- communicating with the radio device from the remote location;
- accessing a radio device information server address stored on the radio device from the radio device to the remote location;
- accessing radio device information specific to the radio device from which the radio device information server address was accessed by accessing a radio device information server identified by the radio device information server address.
A method in a radio device, comprising:
- accessing a radio device information server address stored on the radio device;
- accessing a radio device information server from the radio device identified by the radio device information server addressed stored on the radio device;
- accessing from the radio device radio device information specific to the radio device on the radio device information server identified by the radio device information server address.
