Abstract

Systems and methods for processing information are disclosed and may include comparing a plurality of signals having identical time stamps. The method may further include identifying which of the plurality of signals comprise voice signals and which of the plurality of signals comprise corresponding non-voice signals based on the comparison. Data, which includes the voice signals and the corresponding non-voice signals, may be sequentially arranged for storage. The data, which includes the voice signals and the corresponding non-voice signals, may be arranged in a single file. The data, which includes the voice signals and the corresponding non-voice signals, may be recorded to a single file in memory element. The voice signals may be arranged so that the data including the corresponding non-voice signals is sequential. The non-voice signals may include video data, text-messaging data, and/or e-mail data.

Claims

1. A method for processing information, the method comprising:

comparing a plurality of signals having identical time stamps;

identifying which of said plurality of signals comprise voice signals and which of said plurality of signals comprise corresponding non-voice signals based on said comparison; and

sequentially arranging data comprising said voice signals and data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals for storage.

2. The method according to claim 1, comprising arranging said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals in a single file.

3. The method according to claim 1, comprising recording said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals to a single file in memory element.

4. The method according to claim 1, comprising arranging said voice signals such that said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals are sequential.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said non-voice signals comprise video data.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said non-voice signals comprise text-messaging data.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein said non-voice signals comprise e-mail data.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of signals comprise one or both of signals from an uplink connection and/or signals from a downlink connection.

9. A system for processing information, the system comprising:

one or more circuits that are operable to compare a plurality of signals having identical time stamps;

said one or more circuits being operable to identify which of said plurality of signals comprise voice signals and which of said plurality of signals comprise corresponding non-voice signals based on said comparison; and

said one or more circuits being operable to sequentially arrange data comprising said voice signals and data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals for storage.

10. The system according to claim 9, wherein said one or more circuits are operable to arrange said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals in a single file.

11. The system according to claim 9, wherein said one or more circuits are operable to record said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals to a single file in memory element.

12. The system according to claim 9, wherein said one or more circuits are operable to arrange said voice signals such that said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals are sequential.

13. The system according to claim 9, wherein said non-voice signals comprise video data.

14. The system according to claim 9, wherein said non-voice signals comprise text-messaging data.

15. The system according to claim 9, wherein said non-voice signals comprise e-mail data.

16. The system according to claim 9, wherein said plurality of signals comprise one or both of signals from an uplink connection and/or signals from a downlink connection.

17. A system for processing information, the system comprising:

at least one processor that is operable to compare a plurality of signals having identical time stamps;

said at least one processor being operable to identify which of said plurality of signals comprise voice signals and which of said plurality of signals comprise corresponding non-voice signals based on said comparison; and

said at least one processor being operable to sequentially arrange data comprising said voice signals and data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals for storage.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein said at least one processor is operable to arrange said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals in a single file.

19. The system according to claim 17, wherein said at least one processor is operable to record said data comprising said voice signals and said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals to a single file in memory element.

20. The system according to claim 17, wherein said at least one processor is operable to arrange said voice signals such that said data comprising said corresponding non-voice signals are sequential.

21. The system according to claim 17, wherein said non-voice signals comprise video data.

22. The system according to claim 17, wherein said non-voice signals comprise text-messaging data.

23. The system according to claim 17, wherein said non-voice signals comprise e-mail data.

24. The system according to claim 17, wherein said plurality of signals comprise one or both of signals from an uplink connection and/or signals from a downlink connection.
