Method and apparatus for the control of a wireless phone
First Claim
1. A method for the control of an existing wireless phone from a universal output comprising the steps of:
- interposing a compiler between the module and the phone, the compiler reconfiguring the output of the module to signal which can control the functions of the phone; and
, applying the reconfigured output to the phone, whereby a universal module output is adapted to control the phone without modification of the existing phone or modification of the module, thus to adapt the module to control any existing phone.

Abstract
The control of a wireless phone from a universal module having a predetermined serial output stream is provided to a minicompiler or microprocessor which compiles the output from the module into a form compatible with an existing wireless phone, either by converting the predetermined format into one acceptable to the phone or by providing that the serial data be transformed into switch closure signals which are directly coupled to the keypad of the phone. In this manner a module such as a GPS-based locator system may be utilized to control the phone to dial a particular phone number and to provide the GPS data either by directly controlling the data transfer mechanism within the wireless phone or by actuating the key switches to dial the particular phone number and to then provide the location information via switch activations.

4. A system form marrying a universal module having an output of a wireless phone to an existing phone without having to modify either the universal module or the existing phone, comprising:
-
a compiler interposed between said module and said phone for converting the output of said module to signals capable of controlling said phone; and
,a circuit for connecting said converted output to said phone for the control thereof, whereby the programming and construction of said module remains invariant regardless of the existing phone it is to control. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
