Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to operate an electronic device having a mobile wireless broadband radio frequency (RF) circuit, a cellular RF circuit, one or more baseband processors connected to the cellular RF circuit and the mobile wireless broadband RF circuit. The system selects a multimedia stream from one of the mobile wireless broadband RF circuit and cellular RF circuit; and renders the multimedia stream with an application processor.

Claims

6-1. The device of claim 1, wherein the application comprises a user interface configured to capture user inputs for video viewing operations and an up/down input to select a video channel.

18. A method of operating an electronic device having a mobile wireless broadband radio frequency (RF) circuit, a cellular RF circuit, one or more baseband processors coupled to the cellular RF circuit and the mobile wireless broadband RF circuit, comprising:

selecting a multimedia stream from one of the mobile wireless broadband RF circuit and cellular RF circuit; and

rendering the multimedia stream with an application processor.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the mobile wireless broadband comprises one of:

WiMAX, IEEE 802.16e protocol.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein one of the RF circuit receives H.264 data packets and the multimedia streaming application processes the H.264 data packets.

21. The method of claim 18, comprising receiving satellite transmission.

22. The method of claim 18, comprising providing a wireless hot-spot by routing data received from the mobile wireless broadband RF circuit or the cellular RF circuit to one or more of:

a Bluetooth circuit, an ultra-wide band (UWB) circuit, an 802.11 circuit.

23. An electronic device, comprising:

a display screen;

an 802.11 transceiver coupled to a wireless mesh having a plurality of wireless radio frequency (RF) circuits to cover a metropolitan area;

a cellular RF circuit;

one or more baseband processors coupled to the cellular RF circuit and the 802.11 transceiver to receive a multimedia stream; and

an application processor coupled to the display screen and to the one or more baseband processors, the application processor configured to execute a multimedia streaming application.

24. The device of claim 23, wherein one of the RF circuit receives H.264 data packets and the multimedia streaming application processes the H.264 data packets.

25. The device of claim 23, wherein the wireless mesh comprises a plurality of base stations each coupled to a public school broadband network.

26. The device of claim 23, wherein the application processor operates with one or more of the following:

a location-based service, a wallet for mobile payment, a VOIP enabled service, a satellite radio link, a foldable display for their wireless phones, a mapping service, a location-based service to locate businesses, a service to find friends or family members, a location service that find an alternate traffic routing.
