Abstract

A method for communicating over a wireless communications network is disclosed, the method comprising the steps of providing a docking port of a base member for a wireless communication device; linking the wireless communication device to a communications system of the base member; engaging a base unit of the communications system to perform a function; converting the function into output data; transmitting the output data to the communications system; routing the output data from the communications system to the wireless communication device; and communicating the output data from the wireless communication device to the wireless communications network.

Claims

1. A method for communicating over a wireless communications network, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a docking port of a base member for a wireless communication device;

linking said wireless communication device to a communications system of said base member;

engaging a base unit of said communications system to perform a function;

converting said function into output data;

transmitting said output data to said communications system;

routing said output data from said communications system to said wireless communication device; and

communicating said output data from said wireless communication device to said wireless communications network.

2. The method according to claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

receiving input data from said wireless communications network to said wireless communication device;

routing said input data from said wireless communication device to said communications system;

transmitting said input data from said communications system to said base unit;

converting said input data into user data; and

communicating said user data to a user.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein said wireless communication device is a wireless telephone.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein said base member recharges said wireless communication device.

5. The method according to claim 1 wherein said base member is connected to a power source.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein said base unit is portable.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein said base unit is affixed to said base member.

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein said output data is transmitted over a radio frequency.

9. A communications docking station for wireless communication devices comprising:

a base member;

a communications system coupled to said base member;

at least one wireless device docking port connected to said base member; and

a communications unit linking said communications system to said at least one wireless docking port.

10. The communications docking station according to claim 9 further comprising a base unit detachably connected to said base member.

11. The communications docking station according to claim 10 wherein said base unit performs a function.

12. The communications docking station according to claim 11 wherein said base unit transmits output data to said communications system.

13. The communications docking station according to claim 12 wherein said communications system routes said output data to a wireless communication device.

14. The communications docking station according to claim 13 wherein said wireless communication device is operatively engaged to said wireless docking port.

15. The communications docking station according to claim 14 wherein said wireless communication device communicates said output data to a wireless communications network.
