Modular system and radio handset for communicating between originating and destination entities
First Claim
1. A radio handset comprising:
- processor means including memory, for performing functions of the handset by communicating between originating entities and destination entities, some of said entities being within the handset and at least one entity being locatable within an ancillary device;
an interface coupled to the processor means and having a radio transceiver arranged for coupling to the ancillary device and communicating therewith to enhance the functions of the handset; and
routing means, coupled to the processor means, and arranged to provide for communication between an entity in the handset and an entity in the ancillary device by enabling the creation of a proxy entity in the handset for transaction with the entity in the handset, the creation of the proxy entity in the ancillary device being for transaction with the entity in the ancillary device and for communication between the handset and ancillary device through the interface.
