Simultaneous voice and data communication over a wireless network

A wireless device for communicating data on a voice channel, comprising:

• a processor for establishing an audio connection with a second device over the voice channel;
• an interface for a user for sending data to the second device;
• a detector for detecting the activation of the interface by the user;
• and
• a memory, communicatively coupled with the processor, for storing a first data, wherein the processor causes the first data to be sent to the second device over the voice channel during the audio connection with the second device when the detector detects the activation of the interface;
• wherein the processor also causes the first data to be transmitted wirelessly over the voice channel during the audio connection destined for reception by the second device and causes a second data to be wirelessly received over the voice channel during the audio connection, the second data being associated with the first data.

A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer instructions executable by a wireless device that communicates data on a voice channel for causing the wireless device to perform the steps of:

• establishing an audio communication between the wireless device and a second device across the voice channel, wherein the voice channel comprises at least a wireless voice communications channel between the wireless device and the second device;
• providing a user interface for a user to use the wireless device for communicating data between the wireless device and the second device across the voice channel;
• detecting the activation of the user interface by the user;
• communicating over the voice channel a first data between at least the wireless device and the second device substantially during wireless audio communication between the wireless device and second device over the voice channel;
• and
• wirelessly transmitting the first data from the wireless device into the voice channel and destined for reception by the second device and wirelessly receiving a second data from the voice channel, the second data having been transmitted by the second device into the voice channel, the second data being associated with the first data.

A wireless communication device for communicating data on a voice channel, comprising:

• a processor for establishing an audio connection with a second communication device;
• an indicator, communicatively coupled with the processor, for indicating to a user of the wireless communication device;
• and
• a memory, communicatively coupled with the processor, for storing a first information file and a second information file, and wherein the processor is for sending first data to the second communication device, the first data relating to the first information file, and wherein the processor is further for receiving second data from the second communication device and is for storing the received second data in the memory as the second information file, the first data and the second data having been wirelessly transmitted over the voice channel during the audio connection with the second communication device , and wherein the indicator is for indicating that at least the second information file has been created in the memory.
