Abstract: A system and method for using a dual band transceiver to transmit and receive in a first and second band, while reducing the frequency sources. By reducing the number of frequency sources needed to operate a dual band transceiver and using common transmitter and receiver Intermediate Frequencies, the invention also reduces the number of filters and other components needed for its operation. The oscillating signals from these two frequency sources are scaled, combined, mixed, and filtered, such that only two primary frequency sources are needed to operate the front-end and back-end of both the transmitter and receiver of this dual band transceiver.

Abstract: A system and method for associating text with a voice command and entering the associated text into an electronic device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the invention is a system for entering text into an electronic device, comprising, an input element for entering a text portion into the electronic device, a first memory for storing the text portion, a software code segment for recording a voice portion into the electronic device, and a second memory for storing the voice portion. The system also includes a software code segment for associating the voice portion with the text portion, a software code segment for associating the text portion with information to be entered in the electronic device, and voice recognition software to recall the text portion that is associated with the voice portion, where the input element inserts the text portion associated with the information to be entered into the electronic device.

Abstract: A detachable carry clip assembly for an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing and a power pack. The housing includes a power pack seat for receiving and retaining the power pack. A first portion of a member of the carry clip assembly couples into a recess on the top exterior of the electronic device and a second portion of a member extends into the power pack seat and is captured between the housing and the power pack when the power pack is received and retained in the power pack seat. The detachable carry clip assembly is detached from the electronic device by detaching the power pack from the power pack seat of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method of dialing is disclosed which attempts to “guess” as to which number the user is attempting to dial into a communication device, such as a cellular telephone. From the idle mode (200), the user punches the digits of the number (201), and a list of possible candidate numbers is created (203), (204), or (205). This list of candidate numbers is displayed to the user as candidates are added to the list (206), or not displayed if there were no acceptable candidate numbers (207). If one of the candidate numbers is one of the numbers displayed, the user can select the number in order to have that number dialed. Otherwise, if the number cannot be predicted before completion of entering the number, then the number is entered into the outgoing call log for possible suggestion later if the user dials the number again.
