MULTI-CLIENT LOCAL NETWORK BASE STATION
First Claim
1. A supersystem for providing interactive communications services within a local network, the system comprising:
- a tablet system, comprising a first client subsystem of the local network and a first user interface module configured to provide interactivity with first communications services provided by the first client subsystem;
a handset system, comprising a second client subsystem of the local network and a second user interface module configured to provide interactivity with second communications services provided by the second client subsystem; and
a base station system, comprising;
a first interface subsystem configured to communicatively and removably couple the base station with the tablet system;
a second interface subsystem configured to communicatively and removably couple the base station with the handset system; and
a communications subsystem configured to communicatively couple the base station with the local area network such that at least a portion of the first and second communications services are provided via the base station.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for providing integrated, interactive communications services among multiple client devices in a local network. In one embodiment, a supersystem provides interactive communications services within a local network through a tablet, a handset, and a base station. The tablet includes a first client and a first user interface configured to provide interactivity with first communications services. The handset includes a second client and a second user interface configured to provide interactivity with second communications services. The first and second clients are in communication with the local network and with each other (e.g., either directly, or through the base station or other path). The base station includes interface subsystems configured to removably couple with the tablet and/or handset. The supersystem may allow multiple client devices to be used in an integrative fashion to provide home management, messaging, videoconferencing, cloud network interaction, media sharing, and/or other functionality.

15. A base station system for providing interactive communications services within a local network, the system comprising:
-
a chassis; a first interface subsystem integrated with the chassis and configured to communicatively couple with a first client subsystem of the local network when the first client subsystem is within an operative range of the first interface subsystem; a second interface subsystem integrated with the chassis and configured to communicatively couple with a second client subsystem of the local network; and a communications subsystem integrated with the chassis, the first interface subsystem, and the second interface subsystem, and configured to provide a communications interface between the local area network, the first client subsystem, and the second client subsystem for the provision of interactive communications services via the first client subsystem and the second client subsystem. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
