Method of universal communication and devices thereof
First Claim
1. A method of universal communication, comprising:
- (a) assigning a plurality of user phone numbers each representing a user in a communication system;
(b) establishing user verification and digital signature service in a database system;
(c) providing a phone-like communication device for user verification and digital signature to each user, which will store data and programs and provide input and output means for user verification and digital signature;
(d) establishing binding relation between the user phone number and the physical phone number of a communication device in said database system;
whereby a people oriented communication system is established to replace the location oriented communication system;
whereby a common interface is established for various physical communication systems which makes possible the cooperation and independent development of said physical communication systems;
whereby a general user identification and signature service is provided.

Abstract
A method of universal communication, comprising: (1) assigning user phone numbers each representing a user; (2) providing user verification and user digital signature service; (3) providing a phone-like communication device for user verification and digital signature; (4) dynamic binding of a user phone number to a physical phone number by a database. A universal communication system comprises a portable communication device as the controller for each user, a database system as the intelligent center, and communication adaptors. As a result of the separation of the user phone number from the physical phone number and the related verification and digital signature service, a common interface is provided for various physical communication systems. This allows the various physical communication systems to develop independently and at the same time work together to meet the ever increasing communication demand. This also allows service providers to develop convenient, secure, and cost-effective services. Therefore, a people oriented universal communication system is provided with flexibility, scalability, security, affordability, and efficiency.

15. A phone-like communication device used as a controller in a communication system, comprising:
-
(a) a CPU for processing data and a read-only memory coupled with said CPU for storing data and programs for user verification and digital signature;
(b) a random access memory for storage of data;
(c) a display device for presenting information;
(d) a phone device for sending and receiving information, and for providing input through the keyboard of said phone device;
(e) a short-distance wireless communication device for sending and receiving information;
(f) a data connection means for connecting said CPU with said memory, said display device, said phone device, and said short-distance wireless communication device;
whereby said phone-like communication device can be used for user identification and digital signature;
whereby said phone-like communication device can be used as a controller in a people oriented communication system.

20. A adaptor in a communication system, comprising:
-
(a) a CPU for processing data and a nonvolatile memory coupled with said CPU for storing data and programs;
(b) a memory connected to said CPU for storage of data;
(c) a means for detecting control signals and sending the result to said CPU;
(d) at least one input means for connecting to the outside line and at least one output means for connecting to communication devices;
(e) a switch controlled by said CPU for connecting said input means and the output means;
whereby the adaptor will deliver the incoming communication media to the intended user and physical devices;
whereby the physical devices at the user premises can work together.
