Abstract

The present invention relates in general a reconfigurable handheld device that can be used for multiple tasks, such as cell phone, TV receiver, video image transmitter, radar frequency scanner, surveillance terminal, approaching object warning system etc. The invention presents the program downloadable over network to add/sub the capabilities of the handheld devices. The invention presents the way to do real time encoding and compression to make video, audio, text or control message transmission with much less bandwidth needs. The invention presents the way to do quick, low power real time decoding and decompression of the messages received. The invention presents the new application of Radar related in handheld devices. The invention presents the infrastructure of using handheld terminal as surveillance network and database network. The invention presents the multiple iterations of variable length coding to save bandwidth.
