Abstract: A cellular phone and mobile device is configured with the ability to accept a signature. A user may write a signature on a touch sensitive display of a mobile device using touch or a pen. A user may be further authenticated by using voice or password. Software for recognizing a finger print could reside on a network server or on the hand held device. Handwriting recognition can be used for authentication. The signature may be viewed on a second mobile device in real time. The signature may be synchronized with a server or an Internet device. The system may allow for multiple parties to sign an electronic document using mobile devices and Internet servers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in which multiple Internet Protocol (IP) based wireless data transmissions are simultaneously provided between a wireless device and a server, including providing multiple antennas, multiple T/R units, multiple processors and multiple I/O ports on the wireless device. The method includes receiving multiple IP data packets on the I/O ports at substantially the same time, and sending multiple data packets from the wireless device to the server, whereby the transmission rate between the wireless device and the server is increased.

Abstract: A multifunction cover with touch screen display, icons, and a keyboard is described. A multifunction touch screen enabled mobile device may be configured to be connected to the separate cover, which may be attached to the device and detached from the device. The mobile device may be enabled with a cellular voice and data communication, WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and Internet Protocol connectivity. The mobile device may be enabled to play videos, capture photos, and stream multimedia content.

Abstract: A wireless communication and control system including a wireless device. There is a central server for storing communication protocols and control protocols and communicating the communication protocols and selectively communicating the control protocols between the wireless device and the central server. A communication protocol configures the system for communication and control protocols configure the system as one of a selection of intelligent appliance controllers. Alternately the control protocols configure the system as one of a selection of Internet terminals. The wireless device is any hand-held communication device, such as a hand-held computing device, wireless telephone, or cellular phone. The primary mode may switch from local office to a public carrier loop. This switching may be automatic or per specific instruction and preferences stored on a Server or in the CT/MD.

Abstract: Different networks, different cellular telephone/mobile devices (CT/MDs) and base stations coexist in a new virtual network with the ability to form many concentric overlaying networks and have the CT/MD exist in one or more wired or wireless networks simultaneously. A server such as Server C controls the communication protocols in conjunction with the network switching box or other devices, such as CT/MD. In either the base station configuration or the network box configuration, the units have the ability to take optical data and multiplex the data for wireless transmission over one or more channels, at one or more frequencies and power levels. The base station, the network box or the CT/MD may use one or more transmission protocols as deemed optimal and appropriate by the local server located in a LAN, WAN or the Internet.

Abstract: A cradle adapter connection allows I/O contacts between a non-wireless device (NWD) and a wireless cradle adapter or similar wireless enabling attachment. The enabling attachment can make any non-wireless device (NWD) unit wireless enabled while being plugged into the cradle adapter, in a similar manner as shown for a cell telephone/mobile device (CT/MD), to access a number of wired, optical or wireless communication paths through the ports. The cradle adapter itself may have multiple antennas, multiple T/R units and multiple processors built-in to deliver full functionality, and it may also accommodate multiple wired or wireless devices to be plugged in at the same time. The cradle adapter may contain power ports for the individual devices in addition to the I/O ports, and it may be a passive pass through-connection enabling device or may have internal electronics to perform certain server functions to control data traffic.

Abstract: A networking system, method and apparatus for real time management, operation, command and control of various intelligent beverage appliances and intelligent culinary appliances enabled for the preparation, storage and serving/dispensing of hot and cold beverages and food items.
