Transferable Wireless Communicator For Data And Voice
First Claim
1. A wireless communicator (110) adapted for use with an active host (210), the wireless communicator comprising:
- a voice receiver (260) configured to receive an incoming voice radio signal (264) and to provide based thereon an incoming voice baseband signal (262);
a voice transmitter (270) configured to receive an outgoing voice baseband signal (272) and to transmit based thereon an outgoing voice radio signal (274);
a data receiver (260) configured to receive an incoming data radio signal (264) and to provide based thereon an incoming data baseband signal (262);
a data transmitter (270) configured to receive an outgoing data baseband signal (272) and to transmit based thereon an outgoing data radio signal (274); and
a baseband modem (230) configured to receive the incoming voice baseband signal and the incoming data baseband signal, to produce the outgoing voice baseband signal and the outgoing data baseband signal, to receive an outgoing host signal (214) from the active host, and to provide an incoming host signal (212) to the active host;
wherein the wireless communicator is adapted to be transferred across and to operate with at least two mobile host devices of different types, where at any one time one of the mobile host devices is the active host.

Abstract
A communicator (110) that is transferable across different types of mobile devices (210) is disclosed. The communicator can simultaneously operate with both voice communication links (190) and data communication links (192), and with both voice and data information. The communicator may be transferred across various mobile devices, including but not limited to: mobile telephones (120), personal digital assistants (130), music players (170), radios, mobile computers (145), or devices that are a combination thereof. Some embodiments of the invention may be transferred while operating without breaking a wireless communication link. Data information may carried on a data link, such as a Bluetooth® link, a wireless Ethernet link, or an IEEE 802.11 link. Data information may also be carried on the voice link, such as a global system for mobile communication (GSM) link or a code division multiple access (CDMA) link. Similarly, voice information may be carried either on the voice link or on the data link, for example, voice over Internet protocol (IP).
