Abstract
An embodiment of a handset cradle includes a base component and a handset component configured to couple with the base component. The handset component provides an interface with a particular type of handset selected from a plurality of handset types. This interface enables an exchange of data between the base component and a handset interfacing with the handset component.
Claims43
A handset cradle, comprising
- a base component;
- and
- a handset component configured to couple with the base component and to provide an interface with a particular type of handset selected from a plurality of handset types enabling an exchange of data between the base component and a handset interfacing with the handset component.
A handset cradle, comprising
- a base component including:
- a means for receiving an input signal indicative of an action to be performed with respect to a handset;
- and
- a means for sending an output signal instructing the performance of the action;
- and
- a handset component configured to couple with the base component, the handset component including:
- a means for interfacing with a particular type of handset selected from a plurality of handset types;
- and
- a means for receiving the output signal and initiating the performance of the action with respect to the particular type of handset.
6 more elements
A handset cradle, comprising:
- a handset component that includes:
- a handset interface configured to provide an interface with a particular type of handset selected from a plurality of handset types;
- a handset driver operable to communicate with the particular type of handset;
- and
- a base coupled to the handset component, the base component including:
- a local network interface operable to interface with one or more network devices;
- and
- a router operable to route, via the handset component, outbound network communications received through the local network interface to be transmitted by a handset interfacing with the handset component.
5 more elements
A handset cradle, comprising:
- a handset component that includes:
- a handset interface a means for interfacing with a first type of handset;
- and
- a handset driver operable to communicate with the particular type of handset;
- and
- a base coupled to the handset component, the base component including:
- a local network interface operable to receive outbound network communications from one or more network devices;
- a connector operable to send, via the handset component, a connection signal instructing a handset interfacing with the handset component to connect with an external network to which the handset can transmit outbound network communications;
- a router operable to route, via the handset component, outbound network communications to be transmitted by the handset interfacing with the handset component;
- a session limiter operable to prevent the routing of an outbound network communication that would cause a number of concurrent outbound network device sessions to exceed a maximum number of concurrent sessions allowed;
- and
- a bandwidth limiter operable to limit the bandwidth available for routing network communications according to policy.
