Shawn W. Vines has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System and method for processing wireless voice and data telecommunications
    Patent number: H1880
    Abstract: A system for processing data is provided. The system includes a data type detector that determines whether a data frame is a speech/voice data frame or a data/fax data frame. The system further includes a transcoder and rate adapter system that is connected to the data type detector. The data type detector transfers the data frame to the transcoder and rate adapter system if the data frame is a voice data frame. An interworking function system is also connected to the data type detector. The data type detector transfers the data frame to the interworking function system if the data frame is a data/fax data frame.

  • System and method for processing wireless voice and data/fax telecommunications data
    Patent number: H1920
    Abstract: A method for processing telecommunications data is provided. The method includes receiving telecommunications data, such as at a component of a telecommunications switch. It is then determined whether the telecommunications data includes speech/voice data or data/fax data. Transcoder and rate adaption processing is performed on the telecommunications data with signal processing circuitry if the telecommunications data is speech/voice data. Otherwise, interworking function processing is performed on the telecommunications data with the signal processing circuitry if the telecommunications data is data/fax data.
