Abstract
A telecommunications converter module is disclosed. The telecommunications converter module includes a connection port configured to connect to a wireless communication device and an interface to a land-line communication network. The telecommunications converter module further includes a processor, in communication with said data port and said interface, that is configured to convert wireless telecommunication signals to land-line telecommunication signals and to convert land-line telecommunication signals to wireless telecommunication signals.
Claims19
A telecommunications converter module for use between a clone cartridge of a mobile telephone and a land-line communication network, said converter module comprising:
- a connection port configured to connect to said clone cartridge, said clone cartridge configured to receive and transmit wireless telecommunication signals on at least one of a wireless cellular or wireless PCS network, said clone cartridge lacking a tactile user interface;
- an interface to said land-line communication network;
- and
- a processor, in communication with said connection port and said interface, said processor configured to convert said wireless telecommunication signals received from at least one of said wireless cellular or wireless PCS networks through said clone cartridge to land-line telecommunication signals, and to convert land-line telecommunication signals to wireless telecommunication signals.
A telecommunication system, comprising:
- a land-line communication network;
- a clone cartridge of a mobile telephone configured to receive and transmit wireless communication signals on at least one of a wireless cellular or a wireless PCS network, said clone cartridge lacking a tactile user interface;
- and
- a converter in communication with said land-line communication network and said clone cartridge, said converter configured to convert wireless telecommunication signals received from at least one of said wireless cellular or wireless PCS networks through said clone cartridge to land-line communication signals and to convert land-line communication signals to wireless telecommunication signals.
A method for communicating on a wireless telecommunication network using a land-line communication device, comprising:
- receiving wireless communication signals at a clone cartridge of a mobile telephone over one of a wireless cellular or PCS network, said clone cartridge lacking a tactile user interface;
- converting said wireless communication signals to land-line communication signals;
- and
- sending said land-line communication signals to said land-line communication device over a land-line network.
A system comprising:
- a clone cartridge of a mobile telephone;
- a telecommunications signal converter,
- said converter configured to convert telecommunication signals received from a wireless network into land-line network telecommunication signals and to convert telecommunication signals received from a land-line network into wireless network telecommunication signals,
- said wireless network being one of a wireless cellular and a wireless PCS network,
- said converter configured to send and receive telecommunication signals over said wireless network through one of said clone cartridge and said mobile telephone, interchangeably,
- wherein said converter may send and receive telecommunication signals over said wireless network through said clone cartridge while said mobile telephone is at a location remote from said converter, such that said mobile telephone and said converter both may send and receive telecommunication signals over said wireless network independently.
