  • Patent number: 6842623
    Abstract: A system and method for wireless voice and computer communications sample voice data from an audio input or telephone line, convert the sampled data with a codec and audio engine to compressed, digital samples, generate RF signals representing the digital samples with a wireless modem, transmit and receive RF frames including such RF signals with a radio transceiver, decompress digital samples with the audio engine, convert the digital samples to analog with the codec and output analog audio signals. The system and method also receive bitstream data from a computer with a communication port or from a telephone line with a modem, generate RF signals representing the bitstream data with the wireless modem, transmit and receive with the radio transceiver RF frames including RF signals representing bitstream data, and output to a computer or telephone line bitstream data.

  • Patent number: 6412081
    Abstract: A system and method for providing a software trap and patch function to low power, cost conscious, and space constrained applications. When a programming error in a first memory is discovered, a data structure comprising a trap address, patch code, and patch address are stored in a second memory. A power-on-reset process detects the presence of the data structure, and in response thereto, enables the trap and patch function. In operation, upon the occurrence of a trap condition, the first memory is disconnected from the data bus and a predetermined instruction circuit is activated. Upon activation thereof, the predetermined instruction circuit, which comprises solely combinational circuitry, places the op code of the predetermined instruction on the data bus. In one embodiment, in which the predetermined instruction is a software interrupt instruction, a predetermined bit of the PSR is placed in a defined state responsive to the occurrence of a trap condition.
