Abstract:
A plurality of devices communicate information over a wireless network at radio frequencies. The information includes digital audio, video and data. Bandwidth among the devices is dynamically allocated, the allocation being based upon the needs of the devices. One embodiment of the wireless network is a Time Division Multiple Access network. Another embodiment is a wireless Ethernet. Yet another embodiment is a Frequency Division Multiplexed network.
Method And Apparatus For Managing Accounts Payable
The present invention is a method for operating a computer-based accounts payable system. The user inputs a bill that includes a billing code. The system then determines whether the billing code is present in the budget database. If the billing code is present in the budget database, the system approves payment of an amount associated with the billing code in the budget database. If the billing code is not present in the budget database, the system approves payment of a budget amount associated with the billing code in a default budget database. In the preferred embodiment, the system also checks whether a particular task has been completed before approving payment of said bill, and checks to insure that a previous bill covering the same task has not been paid previously.
Method And Apparatus For Managing Multiple Projects
The present invention is a computer-based system for managing projects. It allows the user to input data concerning a project and associate individuals with the project. The system then determines a deadline for completing a task associated with the project and send out reminders accordingly. The system provides the user a number of options not available on the conventional docketing systems, such as automatically increasing the frequency with which reminders are sent as the deadline approaches, and automatically increasing the number of individuals to whom the reminders are sent as the deadline draws near.

Method And Apparatus For The Dynamic Allocation Of Signal Bandwidth Between Audio, Video And Data Signals

International Classification:
H04J 316
US Classification:
370329
Abstract:
A wireless communication unit for a wireless communication system transmits and receives video, audio and data signals within an RF bandwidth. The RF bandwidth is allocated among the video, audio and data signals to allow the video, audio and data signals to fit within the RF bandwidth. The allocation is performed by buffering the signals, making priority assignments to each of the buffered signals, and transmitting the buffered signals according to the priority assignments. The transmitted signals occupy the RF bandwidth in portions specified by the priority assignments. The priority assignments can be changed during a communication link. The subscriber unit receives a transmission header from another party on the communication link, which may include a request by the other party to change the priority assignments. If such a request is received, the subscriber unit automatically changes the priority assignments in response to the request. The communication unit is applicable to subscriber units and base stations.

Abstract:
A wireless communication device may take the form of a cellular telephone, of a portable personal communication device, or even of a desk top personal computer which is equipped to communicate over the wireless cellular communication system in effect in a particular area. The wireless communication device is configured to self-adapt to various operating frequencies and communication protocols which may be present in the cellular communication environment so that the device is able to provide communications in several service areas even though the frequencies of operation and the communication protocols in use in the service areas may be incompatible with one another.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a computer capable of transmitting and receiving video and audio signals over an RF bandwidth. The RF bandwidth is allocated among the audio and video signals to allow the audio and video signals to be fitted within the RF bandwidth. The allocation is performed by varying the rates of compression of the audio and video signals. The video is displayed by using fast digital-to-analog converters and a dither technique. An existing computer can be configured for wireless communications by inserting into its backplate a board including a transceiver for transmitting and receiving compressed audio and video signals. The computer's microprocessor is programmed to perform the bandwidth allocation, and can even be programmed to compress and decompress the audio and video signals.
