Computers integrated with a cordless telephone

An apparatus offering a high degree of functionality comprising:

• a first hand held computer;
• said hand-held computer comprising:
• a microprocessor;
• a display coupled to said microprocessor;
• storage coupled to said microprocessor;
• a key pad coupled to said microprocessor;
• a modem coupled to said microprocessor;
• a digitizer coupled to said microprocessor;
• a signal controller coupled to said microprocessor;
• a first switch coupled to said signal controller;
• a second switch coupled to said signal controller;
• said modem coupled to said first switch and said second switch;
• a speaker coupled to said first switch;
• a microphone coupled to said second switch;
• an antenna;
• a receiver coupled to said first switch and said antenna;
• and
• a transmitter coupled to said antenna and said second switch;
• a second main computer having a television associated therewith, said television having a monitor with a screen;
• a base station;
• said base station comprising:
• a receiver;
• a transmitter;
• an antenna;
• a signal controller;
• a second modem;
• a speech recognition unit;
• a third switch;
• a fourth switch;
• a data access arrangement;
• said second modem is coupled to said third switch and said fourth switch;
• said signal controller is coupled to said third switch and said fourth switch;
• said receiver is coupled to said third switch, and said transmitter is coupled to said fourth switch and to said antenna;
• said base station being adapted for wireless communication to said first hand held computer and a direct electrical connection to said second computer;
• said base station has means for communication on a telephone line;
• said first hand-held computer has wireless means for communication with said base station;
• and
• said second main computer has means for direct electrical communication with said base station;
• said first hand held computer being in the proximity of said television so that signals transmitted by said first hand held computer can be received by said base station and processed by said second main computer and as a result appear on said screen on said monitor of said television.
