Abstract
A method and apparatus for communicating information between a remote location and a user. Information from the remote location or the user is received by the inventive apparatus and processed by configurable circuitry to a form that can be received and used by the intended recipient. The reconfigurable circuitry can be changed manually by a human user or remotely through the receipt of appropriate signals. Accordingly, the apparatus can be reconfigured to be able to receive information that is transmitted in different forms from those forms that are receivable before reconfiguration.
Claims12
A wireless communications device, comprising:
- a communication circuit to sequentially receive a set of signals associated with non-compatible wireless communications services;
- a control circuit including a microcontroller to sequentially generate a set of configuration signals corresponding to said non-compatible wireless communications services;
- and
- a reconfigurable logic circuit connected to said communication circuit and said control circuit, said reconfigurable logic circuit processing said configuration signals to sequentially facilitate communications in accordance with said set of non-compatible wireless communications services.
A method of executing wireless communications on a mobile wireless communications device, said method comprising the steps of:
- sequentially receiving a set of signals associated with non-compatible wireless communications services;
- sequentially generating in a microcontroller a set of configuration signals corresponding to said non-compatible wireless communications services;
- and
- sequentially reconfiguring a reconfigurable logic circuit in accordance with said configuration signals to facilitate communications in accordance with said set of non compatible wireless communications services.
