Abstract

A portable device can transmit information through one of a mobile phone network and an Internet, wherein the portable device includes a text-based communication module to allow a user may synchronously transmit or receive data through a local area network, wherein the data is text, audio, video or the combination thereof. The text-based communication module of the portable device includes a text-to-speech recognition module used to convert a text data for outputting the text data by vocal, and a read determination module for determining read target terminals and unread target terminals when a user of the portable phone device activates the read determination module.

Claims

1. A method for a smart phone having a wireless local area network (LAN) module to communicate through one of a mobile phone network and an Internet, the method comprising:

providing a text based communication module to be embedded into said smart phone with said wireless local area network (LAN) module to access said internet and establish communication with a target terminal via said Internet using said wireless LAN module or said mobile phone network, wherein said text based communication module includes a text-to-speech recognition module;

wirelessly coupling said text based communication module to said Internet by internally coupled to said wireless LAN module, to enable a user to communicate with said target terminal, via said Internet using said wireless LAN module or said mobile phone network;

wirelessly receiving a text data from said target terminal, via said Internet by said text based communication module; and

converting said text data by said text-to-speech recognition module to output said text data by vocal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wireless LAN module is in compliant with a Wi-Fi standard.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wireless LAN module is in compliant with a 802.11 standard.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said wireless LAN module includes Bluetooth standard compatible module.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said text based communication module is embedded into said smart phone or downloaded from a remote server into said smart phone.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said smart phone is further configured to enable said user to make a telephone call through said Internet when said wireless LAN module detects signals emitted from an access point (AP) of a local area network (LAN).

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising providing an access point coupled between said LAN and said smart phone.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising providing an exchanging service mechanism for bridging said internet network and said mobile phone network to facilitate the communication there between.

9. A group conversation method for a smart phone through one of a mobile phone network and an Internet, the method comprising:

providing a text-based communication module to be embedded into said smart phone with a wireless local area network (LAN) module to access said internet and establish communication with target terminals of said smart phone conversation group via said Internet using said wireless LAN module or said mobile phone network, wherein said text-based communication module includes a read determination module;

wirelessly coupling said text-based communication module to said Internet by internally coupled to said wireless LAN module, to enable a user to communicate with said target terminals of said smart phone conversation group, via said Internet using said wireless LAN module or said mobile phone network;

wirelessly receiving a message from said smart phone conversation group, via said Internet using said wireless LAN module and said text-based communication module; and

displaying a list of read and unread message target terminals of said smart phone conversation group when said user of said smart phone activates said read determination module.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said wireless LAN module is in compliant with a Wi-Fi standard.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said wireless LAN module is in compliant with a 802.11 standard.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said wireless LAN module includes Bluetooth standard compatible module.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said text-based communication module is embedded into said smart phone or downloaded from a remote server into said smart phone.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said displaying a list of read and unread message target terminals of said smart phone conversation group is activated by touching said message displayed on a screen of said smart phone.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein said smart phone is further configured to enable said user to make a telephone call through said Internet.

16. The method as claimed in claim 9, further comprising providing an access point coupled between said LAN and said smart phone.

17. The method as claimed in claim 16, further comprising providing an exchanging service mechanism for bridging said internet network and said mobile phone network to facilitate the communication there between.
