Patent number: 5631946Abstract: A method and system of transferring information from a RF receiver to a processor under control of a program stored by the processor is disclosed. Information is transmitted with a RF transmitter to the RF receiver. The RF receiver signals the processor on a transmission medium of the processor used for transmission of information by the processor that received information is stored within a memory of the receiver. The transfer of the stored information from the memory of the receiver to a memory of the processor on the transmission medium is controlled with the program. The information in the memory of the processor is processed with an application program stored in the memory of the processor.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1995Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignee: NTP, IncorporatedInventors: Thomas J. Campana, Jr., Michael P. Ponschke, Gary F. Thelen
