Methods of recording voice signals in a mobile set
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium containing a data structure for storing voice signals comprising a conversation list containing an entry for each of one or more phone conversations, each entry comprising a single string of data records wherein each data record has a file pointer to the next record, the last record having an end of file marker, each record corresponding to at least one time stamp of the phone conversation for use in restoring the data structure to a media understandable by a user, wherein the voice signals are analyzed for record-worthiness and recorded into the string of data records responsive to a determination that the voice signals are record-worthy, wherein portions of the voice signal determined to not be record-worthy are discarded and replaced with placeholders indicating locations associated with the dropped portions.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile set integrating a memory efficient data storage system for the real time recording of voice conversations, data transmission and the like. The data recorder has the capacity to selectively choose the most relevant time frames of a conversation for recording, while discarding time frames that only occupy additional space in memory without holding any conversational data. The invention executes a series of logic steps on each signal including a voice activity detector step, frame comparison step, and sequential recording step. A mobile set having a modified architecture for performing the methods of the present invention is also disclosed.
