MXPA01003398A - Keyless portable cellular phone system having remote voice recognition - Google Patents

Abstract

A keyless portable cellular phone system is provided, wherein matched sets of algorithmically generated communication units are generated, each communication unit pair defining a discrete time increment of authorized communication. One set is stored on a system server (i.e. a service provider), and the pre-paid set is available for use within a keyless portable cellular phone. The phone, normally non-activated, automatically contacts the system server upon selective activation by the user, to initiate a call (outgoing or incoming). A voice recognition system allows the user to place calls and/or receive calls. During a call, the keyless portable cellular phone periodically sends the sequential discrete airtime communication units, having unique identifiers (i.e. encryption), whereby the system server allows pre-paid authorized access to time increments of system services, such as communication, based upon the receipt of the matching, uniquely identified, sequential discrete airtime communication units. The phone typically has either an internal energy supply and storage for pre-paid communication units, or a removable airtime cartridge, typically containing an energy supply and either the ability to store or to generate a set of pre-paid single use airtime communication units.

Description

PORTABLE CELLULAR TELEPHONE SYSTEM WITHOUT KEYBOARD THAT HAS REMOTE VOICE RECOGNITION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention is related to the field of portable telephone systems. More particularly, the invention relates to a cellular telephone system, portable, without a keyboard having remote voice recognition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Portable cell phones have been used with increasing popularity around the world for a variety of personal and commercial uses. These systems typically require a subscription contract with a service or telephone company, which allows the cell phone to have access to a cell phone exchange, for the assignment of a communication line. The establishment of a subscription contract typically requires good credit that is presented to the assigned user, as well as a long-term commitment to a cellular company (for example, one-year service contracts are common). Typically, subscription contracts for conventional cellular networks are based on two types of customer billing. The first billing architecture is one system per call, which is based on a service plan for the customer. The second common billing architecture is an advance payment system, which is based on a unique credit identifier (that is, a down payment number for the customer). There are different commonly contracted services for different types of communication, based on the 'location of the cell phone and the location of other connected parties. For example, a service fee may apply to incoming or outgoing local calls, such as within a local area code, or within a cellular call region. A different service rate may apply to incoming or outgoing calls for long distance telecommunication connections. This complicated arrangement of service contracts typically requires the use of personal identification numbers (PINs) to identify the caller or access different services, and often overwhelms the user with roaming charges (according to the mobile user). it moves through the different cell regions). Paying a monthly charge based on an average maximum usage of prepaid minutes is often more expensive than the amount needed by a particular user. You can not optimize an individual billing plan for any specific user, since the plans are based on average users. For example, "minimum use" users who can only transport portable telephones for emergency use (for example, such as for on-road assistance or "911" services), commonly establish and pay for service charges that exceed a lot of real, used communication services. Common cellular phones are typically purchased by the user, or are provided, often at a discount, by a service provider in the establishment of a long-term service contract. Conventional cell phones are commonly purchased with several necessary accessories that allow them to be used again, such as an AC / DC recharge module, removable and rechargeable batteries, a telephone platform, and flexible DC power cords for power and / or mobile recharge. Commonly there is a significant cost in the accessories alone. Also, accessories are commonly damaged through use, lost or lost (particularly by business people who frequently travel), or become outmoded through use, or through normal wear and tear and wear and tear. time. These telephones and accessories are often impractical during international travel, which often requires a wide variety of chargers and power converters. Some portable, specialized phones, recent and communication networks, such as multimodal phones (for example, IRIDIUMMR, manufactured by Motorola, Inc.), while designed for use while traveling, are prohibitively expensive. Also, existing handsets typically include complex marking pads, memory, batteries, functions, and display screens, all of which are commonly expensive, take up space, and are prone to failure. Another disadvantage of conventional cell phone services is the need for the user to dial, in order to call a destination. Even for the destination numbers that the user can place in the memory, the user is prompted to manually enter a series of keystrokes, such as converting the keystroke signals to voice signals. The physical action of frequent dialing is inconvenient and difficult, and can still be dangerous in several circumstances, such as while driving, or while walking down a street. The action requires precision and requires a lot of time, and in some cases it is complicated. The smaller the phone, the harder it becomes for the user to dial, sometimes requiring a pen or pointer to type the correct buttons.

In low light conditions, such as at night, in a car, or in a restaurant or bar, it is often difficult for the user to see and operate the dial pad correctly. Conventional cell phones are each unique to the world, having both a serial number (which is typically stamped on the housing), as well as an installed electronic serial number (ESN) (ie, a descent number), which is set in the initial activation by a service provider (for example, such as by authorized personnel in a retail store selling phones). The current use of the cell phone is associated with the electronic downlink number, in which the registered user of the conventional cell phone is billed for current usage. The downloaded, electronic, installed number is transmitted if the telephone is operated. Therefore, incoming and outgoing calls are routed to the location of the cell phone, and the billing for the cell phone is recorded correctly to the registered user of the conventional cellular phone, based on the number of download, electronic, transmitted. However, since the downloaded, electronic, installed number is transmitted as many times as a conventional telephone is operated, an unauthorized user (i.e., a pirate) can intercept and receive a telephone signal, capture the downlink number, electronic and use the downloaded, electronic, captured number to enable unauthorized communication from an unauthorized one, using a process called cloning. Unauthorized use of the electronic download number allows unauthorized access to the telephone system, where charges for unauthorized calls are billed to the authorized, original user. While some signals of the cell phone system are encrypted, there is a continuous encryption of the same electronic download number. The unauthorized decryption of the encrypted signal, while it may require some processing power, produces valuable access to the electronic download number (again allowing unauthorized access to a telephone system, while the authorized, original user is paying for unauthorized access). When a conventional cell phone is disabled, the cell phone is not able to receive calls. Therefore, as a mobile user uses a cell phone throughout the day, the user moves between one or more cellular sites and operates the telephone, typically in a standby mode, in order to be able to receive incoming calls. When the cell phone moves, from cell to cell, the cell phone calls the nearest cell site, and can be used to send or receive calls. In a powered state, a conventional cellular telephone in constant communication with a base station requires a substantial amount of the stored energy of the battery. Some conventional, recent cell phones can receive calls, without being fully activated, or operated in a "hold" mode. These conventional cellular telephones include an internal radiolocation circuitry, and can receive radiolocation signals through the cell phone antenna. In the reception of a radiolocation signal from a radiolocation transmitter, the radiolocation circuitry activates an internal travel switch, which automatically tunes the RF circuitry of the cellular telephone. Once the pager / cell phone is fully activated, the incoming call is routed through the mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) to the cell phone, and the phone is called. The mobile user then selectively accepts the call. This operation currently allows some conventional cell phones, which have integrated radiolocation assistance, to operate with limited pager power for up to eight days, with an energy storage capacity of approximately three hours of talk time. D. Gaulke, T. Hanson, and R. Moleres, Pa ger-Con t rol l ed Wi rel ess Tel ephon e, U.S. 5,131,111 (April 7, 1998) discloses a pager and integrated cell phone that includes "circuitry that responds to the radiolocation receiver's reception of a radiolocation signal indicative of an incoming call by connecting the cell phone to a cell phone. source of battery power This activates the cell phone, after which it registers with the base station and thus becomes able to receive the incoming call The circuitry also responds to the reception by the radiolocalizer of a second Radiolocation signal by disconnecting the cell phone from the battery power source This allows the cell phone to remain in a deactivated condition and does not waste battery power at times when the cell phone is not in use, without losing calls incoming, and in this way automatically without the intervention of the cell phone user ". While Gaulke et al., Describe a combined cellular telephone and radiolocation circuitry, the termination of the call is presented at the telephone apparatus level, after registration and transfer from the mobile telephone switching operator (MTSO), as the opposite of a connection at the server level. Likewise, the termination of the call includes the automatic activation of the cell phone circuitry. Additionally, the telephones described may have generic identities, such that the request of the network control point is inefficient before transmitting a page. Breeden, P. Mupiddi, and R. Bessom, Method and Apparatus for Providing Telepoin t Ca ll ing Be tween Pa ger Equipped Handse ts, U.S. Patent No. 5,202,912 (April 13, 1993) describe communication between "a first and a second portable radiotelephone transceivers" ... "in a radiotelephone communication system by generating a radiolocation message in response to the first transceiver that is registered with a first telepoint base station. it is directed to the second transceiver for which communication is requested, and identifies the first telepoint base station and the first transceiver On reception of the radiolocation message, the second transceiver is registered with a second telepoint base station, downloading the information which identifies the first telepoint base station and the first transceiver The second telepoint base station establishes communication with the first station telepoint base, after which the first telepoint base station requests the registration of the first transceiver to terminate communication between the first and second transceivers ". While Breeden, et al., Describe telepoint communication between telephone devices equipped with pager, the call termination is presented in the telephone equipment. Two different signals are sent to the telephone equipment, a first signal of pager activation, and a second telephone signal. The first pager signal activates the telephone circuitry, if the user wishes to receive calls, or not, and the second telephone signal is received by the auto-activating telephone circuitry, notifying the user of an incoming call (e.g., The phone rings) . J. Wohl, E. Naugler Jr. , J. Hendershot, G. Lloyd, and E. Adams, Cel l ul a Tel ephone wi th Pa ger, U.S. 5,247,700 (September 21, 1993) discloses a "compact and unitary cell / radiolocalizer." The cell / radiolocator includes a cellular antenna to receive UHF cellular and radiolocation signals, and the cell / radiolocalizer also includes a radio-localization antenna. VHF Each radiolocation signal is sent to a radiolocation receiver The radiolocation receiver uses the same circuitry to process either the UHF or VHF page The cellular location information is used by the cell / radiolocalizer to form a pager of internally updated roaming., the cellular location information is automatically transported by the cellular block, under the control of the microprocessor, to a radiolocation service. The radiolocation service then knows the location of the radiolocation receiver, consequently, the radiolocation service can direct the radiolocator to wait for a space at an individual frequency, thereby eliminating the frequency scan by the pager or manual updates by the user D. Gaulke, T. Hansqn, and Moleres, Au toma t ed Wi rel ess -Ca ll Compl e ti on Using a Pa ging Network, US 5,802,470 (September 1, 1998) describes a cell phone system, in which a "pager" is associated with a cell phone that is normally kept off and thus does not withdraw power from its battery. When an incoming call with the cellular telephone arrives at a cellular exchange and the exchange determines that the cellular telephone is not registered with a base station, a radiolocation system is caused to transmit a radiolocation signal indicative of the incoming call to the radiolocation. The reception of this radiolocation signal in the pager causes either the pager user and the cell phone to turn on the cell phone, or causes the pager to automatically turn on the cell phone via the associated circuitry. The activation causes the cell phone to register with a base station, after which the cellular exchange extends the incoming call to the telephone / cell through that base station. If the incoming call is not answered, or when the incoming call is terminated, the radiolocation system is made to transmit a second radiolocation signal to the pager. The reception of the second radiolocation signal in the pager leads the cell phone to be switched off again. The cell phone can therefore be switched off normally without fear of losing incoming calls. In this way the power of the cell phone battery is conserved. "In addition, some cell phones that have integrated radiolocation assistance also include an alphanumeric display screen, such that a remote user can receive alphanumeric messages from their cell phone. Longer can typically be scrolled through the screen, using the conventional "next" and "backward" keyboard controls.The counting of telephone usage, as well as establishing the security of the system has been a continuous stimulation for cell phone systems, conventional G.

The apparatus of this invention also uses encryption and employs generation numbers for the addition of funds or call units to the cell phone. "R. Osmani, and M. Metroka, Di sposabl e Wi rel ess Comm un i ca ti on Devi ce Adapted to Preven t Fra ud, US 5,815,807 (September 29, 1998) describe "A disposable portable radiotelephone subscriber unit comprises a power supply, a transceiver and a controller. The power supply has a predetermined energy capacity stored in it. The transceiver is allowed to operate for a predetermined period of time in response to the predetermined measurement of the energy capacity. The controller monitors a depletion rate of the predetermined measure of the power capacity. The controller allows the operation of the transceiver when the power capacity is running out at a desirable speed, thereby decreasing the predetermined period of time in which that transceiver is allowed to operate. The controller prevents the operation of the transceiver when the power capacity is running out at an undesirable speed, thereby prolonging the predetermined period of time in which that transceiver is allowed to operate. Alternatively, the power supply can be a memory unit and the power capacity can be the call time or a future electronic data. "While Osmani et al. Describes a" portable "radiotelephone, the telephone use in terms of battery expenditure, and disability is monitored within the phone. "A. Wise, and T. Rich, Cell Phone, Where is the Air Time Use is Predetermined, US 5,826,185 (20 October 1998) describes "A cell phone system in which a cell phone (CPU) user has a cell phone with a predetermined amount of airtime available. The CPU pre-pays for a particular number of airtime units. When a cell site receives a call from the CPU, the cell site communicates with the mobile telecommunications switching office (MTSO), which recognizes a unique serial number of the cellular telephone. The MTSO directs the call to a prepaid airtime transaction tracking interface (PATTI). The PATTI then verifies if the CPU account has some available airtime units and can indicate the number of units to the CPU. If not, the PATTI does not answer the call; otherwise, the PATTI connects the call and deduces the airtime units until the call is disconnected. "V. Hill, Prepai d Long-Di s tance Tel ephone Servi ce Sys tem wi th Fl exibl e Opera ting Pa rame Ters, US 5,719,926 (February 17, 1998) describes "A long-distance telephone service system provides customizable and accounting flexible control of the use of long-distance telephones by customers, especially pre-paid long distance service customers. The system maintains a set of global operational parameters associated with each access number. It also maintains a database of user accounts, card numbers, and a set of card processing parameters associated with each card number. Both the global parameters and the individual card processing parameters are applied at the end of a long distance call to a destination number to provide a highly flexible control with respect to the individual accounts as well as the account groups. Setting up new accounts and "recharging" the prepaid balance of existing accounts is achieved automatically from remote locations. "Some telephone systems have tried to use voice-activated dialing, but most systems require a high level of internal intelligence. and processing power to distinguish even simple voice commands G.

Likewise, conventional systems fail to provide a prepaid communication system that provides remote voice recognition, as well as high levels of system security from unauthorized use. The development of this portable telephone system will be a major technological improvement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A portable cellular telephone system without a keyboard is provided, in which corresponding sets of algorithmically generated communication units are generated, each pair of communication unit defining a discrete increment of authorized communication time. A set is stored on a system server (i.e., a service provider), and the prepaid set is available for use within a portable cell phone without a keyboard. The telephone, normally not activated, automatically contacts the server of the system in selective activation by the user, to initiate a call (incoming or outgoing). A voice recognition system allows the user to place calls and / or receive calls. During a call, the portable wireless telephone handset periodically sends discrete, sequential, airtime communication units that have unique identifiers (ie, encryption), whereby the system server allows pre-paid authorized access in increments of air of the system services, such as communication, based on the reception of the correspondence, of airtime communication units, discrete, sequential, only identified. The telephone typically has either an internal power and storage supply for pre-paid communication units, or a removable airtime cartridge, typically containing a power supply and either the ability to store or generate a set of power units. air time communication, individual use, pre-paid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES Figure 1 is a functional block diagram of a portable cell phone system 10a without a keyboard having a speech recognition operation system; the conventional telephones 12a-12n are connected, through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 14 to a system network 13, which is connected to a network control point (NCP) 20, which provides routing decisions. A mobile telephone infrastructure 23 includes a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) 22, which is connected to the network 13, and one or more base stations 24. A radiolocation central 26 is also preferably connected to the network 13. , and is connected to one or more radiolocation transmitters 28. A system server 30 ie cell phones, laptops, without keyboard also connects to network 13 of the system. A cellular telephone 34, without a keyboard, when activated, is in communication with the server 30 of the system, through a base station 24, the mobile telephone switching office 22, and the system network 13 (i.e. the mobile telephone switching office 22 and one or more base stations 24 are located between the system server 30 and the cellular telephone 34, portable, without keyboard). Therefore, the communication between the server 30 of the system and the cellular telephone 34, portable, without keyboard goes through the mobile telephone switching office 22 and the base station 24 closest to the cellular telephone 34, portable, without keyboard, remote. While the system server 30 is shown as a discrete component in communication with the mobile telephone switching office 22, the system server 30 may alternatively be a module within a mobile telephone switching office 22. In a modality preferred, one or more external information sources 38 are capable of sending information to the system server 30, either directly 40, or indirectly 41, such as through the public switched telephone network 14 or an Internet connection). The wireless telephone system 10a without keypad provides communication between the cellular phone 34, portable, without keyboard and other devices in the 10a system, such as with conventional 12-12n telephones, conventional cellular telephones, conventional radiolocators, or other telephones 34 cell phones, laptops, without keyboard. In a preferred embodiment, wherein the cellular, handset without keypad includes radiolocation circuitry 107 (Figure 11), the cellular, handset without keypad receives incoming calls, upon receiving a paging call 36 from the system server 30, the radiolocation central station 26 and a radiolocation transmitter 28. By the selective activation of the telephone 34, the user is routed through the server 30 of the system to the telephone call int ante. Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of a portable cell phone system server 30, without keyboard, including an authentication server 42, a voice recognition server 44 and the billing server 46. The authentication server 42 authorizes the connection of the system for a cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard, and controls the communication for the cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard, based on the reception of authorized pre-paid signals (communication units 57) of airtime). The speech recognition system 44 allows a user to operate a cellular, portable telephone without a keyboard, whereby a user enters voice commands into the cellular telephone 34, portable without a keyboard, which are interpreted remotely by the server 44 for voice recognition (such as dialing a 12 telephone, or accessing remote information). The speech recognition system 44 typically provides voice prompts to the user, such as through the re-calling and transmission of stored system messages., or the transmission of synthesized speech signals. The billing server 46 decreases the pre-paid, authorized, ime communication units 57 received (Figure 3) of the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard. Since the system server 30 includes the functionality of an authentication server 42, a voice recognition server 44, and a billing server 46, most of the intelligence for the system 10a is located externally of the cellular telephone 34. , portable without keyboard. The distributed intelligence offered by the system server 30 allows the cellular, portable telephone 34 to operate with a minimum amount of stored processing and intelligence power, and without a keyboard. The speech recognition server 44 communicates interactively with the remote user. For example, the remote user, when advised by the speech recognition server 44, can enter a local telephone number "45-555-1234". The speech recognition server 44, upon confirmation of the user's choice for an incoming call, typically notifies the user that a connection will now be made, such as with a message (e.g., "415-555.1234 confirmed. connection "), and allows the system server 30 to direct the call from the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard to the destination telephone 12. While the voice recognition server 44 is displayed within the system server 30, the speech recognition server 44 can be located at one or more locations throughout the network 18. Figure 3 is a diagram of blocks for a cell phone 34, portable without keyboard with a speech recognition operation system. The cellular telephone 34 without keyboard houses the RF circuitry 18, and in a preferred embodiment, there is a unique communicable telephone ID 50, associated with the cellular telephone 34, portable without a keyboard. The cell phone 34, portable without keyboard includes a cartridge 52 of ime. The ime cartridge 52 comprises energy storage 54, an time cartridge identifier 58 (ATC ID), of an authentication module 56 having a set 55 of units 57a-57n, of communication for individual use, wherein each of the communication units has an associated, unique, separate ID 59a-59n. For example, in Figure 3, the communication unit 57a includes a unique identifier 59a. The use of unique identifiers 59 provides unique encryption, as well as secure transmission for each communication unit 57 that is transmitted from the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard to the system server 30. The cellular, handset without keypad typically uses either an internal ime cartridge 52, or a replaceable ime cartridge 52. The ime cartridges 52 are typically pre-charged (Figure 20) with a stored set 55 of ime communication units 57a-57n, for individual use. In the alternative embodiments, the ime cartridges 52 contain a stored algorithm 123 and a single unitary key 132 (Figure 21), whereby a set 55 of time communication units 57a-57n for individual use, pre-paid occurs within the ight cartridge 52 (Figure 21). In contrast to a conventional cellular phone, there is no requirement for a unique download number to locate the cellular telephone 34, portable without a keyboard, or to attribute the service to a registered user for billing purposes. For basic call services within the system, such as for an outgoing local call, system 10 is pre-paid, and billing server 46 allows communication, based on the current reception of valid communication units 57 they have unique, valid identifiers 59 on the server 30 of the system. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the defined time value 65 of a set 55 of pre-paid individual use communication units 57a-57n. Each of the communication units 57a-57n for individual use, pre-paid has an increment 63 of time value, which can be used to acquire services from the system server 30 for a time equal to the increment 63 of time value. Therefore, the defined, full-time value 65 for a set of individually-used, pre-paid communication units 57a-57n is equal to the number of individual use communication units 57a-57n, pre-paid, measured the time 'of the increment 63 of time value of each unit 57 of communication, of individual use, pre-paid. The measured use of cellular phone 34, portable without keypad is credited against the remaining credit value within an airtime cartridge 52, until the credit value 65 is completely exhausted. The use of the system is limited to the total value 65 of the pre-paid single use communication units 57a-57n within the authentication module 56 of the airtime cartridge 52 (i.e., the maximum service duration is equivalent to air time). pre-paid communication, which is the sum of all pre-paid communication units 57a-57n.In contrast to conventional cellular telephones, where the service is sold separately, the pre-paid airtime cartridge 52 provides the user with system access increments, and does not require a separate personal subscription contract with a telephone communication identity, so the user can have additional access to the system by simply purchasing another airtime cartridge 52 (not when buying another telephone). 34 cell phone, laptop without keyboard, or when establishing a personal subscription contract.) While a cell phone 34, portable without a keyboard, basic does not require an ID 50 Single telephone, either to route communication to cellular phone 34, portable, without keyboard, remote, or for billing purposes, preferred embodiments include a unique telephone ID 50, typically to access preferred services. However, the payment of the preferred services is still associated with the transmission of the airtime communication units 57, of individual use, pre-paid from the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard to the system server 30. Figure 5 is a block diagram 60 of the components of the hardware and the circuitry 48 for a cellular telephone 34, portable without a keyboard. The components include a microprocessor 66 capable of receiving 64 to an incoming RF signal 32a and transmitting 82 an output RF signal 32b. The received signals 32a arriving at the antenna 62 are demodulated and processed by the microprocessor 66. The signals 68 processed, received and then converted to audio signals 72 by a digital-to-analog converter (D / A) 70, and then they are emitted through a loudspeaker 74. For transmission, the user's voice is input to a microphone 76 to produce an input audio signal 78, which is then converted to 80, processed to 66 and transmitted to 82 from the antenna 62 to an RF signal 32b outgoing. The cellular telephone 34 without keyboard contains an internal logic circuit 52, preferably with a unique, pre-programmed telephone identifier 50, as well as additional information required, such as information from the service provider. The memory 86 is preferably used to store pre-recorded 87a-87n messages, such as "no service" 88 (Figure 22), "no credit remaining" 98 (Figure 22), or "low battery" (Figure 22). 22). The system is operated from the power source 54 within the airtight cartridge 52. The cellular telephone 34 without keyboard is operated by a speech recognition system 44 located on the system server 30, and by the internal operation logic circuit 84 and the memory 86, which is activated automatically with the telephone when activated the cell phone 34, portable without keyboard. Since the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard is controlled and operated by the voice of the user, the telephone 34 does not have a keyboard, such as a cell phone or wired, conventional.

In a basic mode of the cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard, the telephone logic circuit 84 includes a simple time counter, with which the telephone sequentially sends airtime communication units, pre-paid, for individual use, in so much that the telephone is activated and is talking to the system server 30, and decreasing the remaining communication units 57, by dialing the airtime communication units, pre-paid, for individual use, transmitted as "used" 149 (Figure 23). The telephone logic circuit 84 also knows the last communication unit 57 that it has sent and the mark as used 149, and which communication unit 57 within a set 55 is to be transmitted and the next decrease. When the user deactivates the cellular telephone 34, without keyboard, such as to terminate a call, the cellular telephone 34, portable without keypad stops, the transmission of the communication units 57 (and stops the decrease of the communication unit 57 of air time, internal, remaining). The cellular, handheld telephone without keypad preferably contains a small amount of stored information, such as simple acoustic messages (e.g., beeps, buzzers, or recorded voice messages). Simple beeps can be used to indicate many system functions. For example, since the cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard counts how much pre-paid time remains (corresponding to the number of remaining airtime communication units 57) the portable, cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard can provide a series of audible beeps which is a function of the remaining pre-paid time (for example, five beeps for five minutes of the remaining pre-paid service). While simple audio signals can offer only rudimentary information, a cellular phone, keyboardless laptop that has lower stored intelligence and lower processing power provides adequate and affordable access to the system for many users. The cellular telephone 34 without keyboard can alternatively provide the recall of simple, stored voice messages, such as "five minutes remaining". In preferred system modalities, longer messages are stored in the telephone, more detailed messages are provided by the system server 30, or extensive virtual assistance is provided by the voice recognition server 44. The stored, detailed messages can notify the user of the operating conditions (for example, "there is no service in the area"). The cell phones 34, laptops without a keyboard offer a wide range of services and ease of use are often preferred by sophisticated users, such as business travelers. While these preferred embodiments of the cellular, handset without keyboard may require more memory and / or more processing power, the increased functionality and ease of use is advantageous for many users. Also, air time (ie, not spent) is used to transmit these voice messages to the user. Figure 6 is a front view of a cellular phone 34a, portable without keyboard. Figure 7 is a side view of a cellular phone 34a, portable without keypad shown in Figure 6. The telephone body 90 is comprised of a first lower housing 92a and a second upper housing 92b, connected by an articulation mechanism 94 or hinge. The first lower housing 92a includes a microphone 76, while the second housing includes a hearing aid 74, and an antenna 62. The cellular telephone 34a, portable without keyboard shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 is collapsible, whereby the first lower housing 92a and second upper housing 92b can be controllably moved about articulation 94, between a first storage position 96a, inactivated, closed and a second position 96b activated, open. In contrast to conventional cellular telephones, the voice recognition telephone 34 without keypad is inactivated (i.e., turned off) in its natural state. In an alternative mode of the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard, an on / off activation switch is used for selective activation. In other alternative modalities of the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard, a sliding or swiveling microphone arm is used for selective activation. As the mobile user travels throughout the day, an inactivated telephone 34 does not transmit any information to the base stations 24. In Figure 6 and Figure 7, the rotatable antenna 62 can be moved from a first closed antenna position 98a to a second open antenna position 98b. While a rotatable antenna 62 is shown, several varieties of antennas 62 can be used, such as stationary, flexible, short antennas, teiescopic antennas, or embedded internal antennas 62. In the embodiment shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7, the cellular telephone 34a without keyboard comprises a small, simple folding unit, having a width 97 of 3.27 cm (1.29 inch), and an open height 95 of 8.12. cm (3.2 inches). The cellular phone 34a, portable without keyboard shown in the Figure. 6 and in Figure 7 is a limited, sealed service time unit, and does not provide access to internal components for service. The airtime cartridge 52 and the energy storage 54 are located within the telephone body 90. Since the portable cellular telephone 34 does not have a keyboard, some embodiments of the portable telephone 34 may be extremely small (for example, a flap telephone). The sizes of the different cellular, portable, and current telephones 34 are currently limited by the size of the energy storage 56. For example, a cellular phone 34, portable - designed for a short duration may be very small, while a cellular, handheld telephone 34 having a higher power capacity 56 typically requires a larger enclosure 90. The cellular, keyboardless telephones 34 are typically operated by first opening the telephone to the open position 96b (Figure 6,7), or by pulling or rotating a microphone 76 (Figures 11-19), or by manually holding a radio button. on / off, which activates a switch 116, (Figure 19). When a cellular, portable telephone 34 without a keyboard is turned on, the internal logic circuit 86 is activated, and attempts to establish an authorized connection with the service server 30. The cellular, portable telephone without keypad then preferentially indicates the number of remaining airtime minutes (such as by an audio message 172 (Figure 25)), and then requires voice operated dialing to place a outgoing call. Therefore, the cellular, portable telephone without keyboard is automatically activated, when the user opens the device to a call position 18b. The cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard can be either unidirectional (only dialing) or it can be multidirectional (dial as well as receive). A cell phone 34, portable dialing, no keypad, unidirectional, basic automatically turns off when not in active use, to preserve the active life of the battery 28. The cellular phone 34a, portable without keyboard shown in Figure 6 and the Figure 7 is activated by opening the phone (ie, lifting or pulling to open), and deactivates when closing the phone at the end of the communication period. The opening of the cellular telephone 34 without keyboard typically includes the simultaneous transmission of an identification code and the connection to the service provider or system server 30 of a telephone company, which allows pre-paid, authorized access to a telephone line. PSTN. As described above, a conventional cellular telephone operates as an individual entity, which has a transmitted ID (that is, the number of downloads), by which services are provided to the user, and for which the user upon being registered is billed for the services received. In contrast, the keyless telephone 34 preferably has two entities, the telephone ID 50 (which is used to access the preferred services), and the ATC ID 58 (which is used to make payments to the system server 30). ) when transmitting pre-paid, discrete airtime communication units 57a-57n for service increments. For example, in one. preferred embodiment, a user may download external information 38 (Figures 1, 29) to the system server 30, such as an address book database, electronic, personal (for example, as created using the computer program OUTLOOKMR from Microsoft, Inc., of Redmond, WA), and 'may be preferentially linked to database records (ie, such as commonly called telephone numbers), for the rapid dialing of numbers within the system server . In this example, it is preferred that the address book set and the speed dial codes are linked to the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard, having a telephone ID 50, so that the user can retrieve the information from the book of addresses, or use the programmed speed dial numbers, while using the cell phone 34, portable without a keyboard, even when a new pre-paid airtime cartridge 52 is installed. Preferred Modalities of the Telephone. The Figure 8 is a front view of a cellular phone 34b, portable without keyboard, activatable by microphone, preferred, which includes a removable air time cartridge 52, which forms part of the external body 90. The cellular phone 34b, portable without keyboard, activatable by microphone comprises three main sub-assemblies, which include the main telephone body 90, the removable air time cartridge 52, and the microphone arm 101 (Figure 13). The main body of the telephone includes the electronic telephone circuitry 48 (which includes an internal antenna 62), power contact 114 (Figure 19), a hearing aid 74, and an activation on / off switch 116 (Figure 19) defined between the telephone body 90 and the movable microphone arm 101. The hearing aid 74 is located in the upper front region of the telephone body 90. The airtime cartridge 52 includes pager circuitry 107 and pager ID 109. In one embodiment, the internal energy storage 54 includes four "AAA" cell batteries. A means for attachment 108 (Figure 10), from the airtime cartridge 52 to the telephone body 90 is also included, such as integral tabs or clasps, which allow the airtight cartridge to be easily attached and removed from the body 90 of phone. The removable airtime cartridge 52, with integral energy storage 54, is preferably fitted within the design form of the telephone body itself, such that when in place, the telephone body 90 is adjusted accordingly. Safe and comfortable in the hand of a user. Figure 9 is a top view of a cellular telephone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone, showing a microphone movement switch 100. Figure 10 is a bottom view of a cellular phone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone showing the microphone 76, as well as the release fastener 108 • of the airtime cartridge. Figure 11 and the Figure 12 provides left and right side views, respectively, of a cellular phone, portable, keyboardless, microphone activatable, showing the relative thickness of the airtime cartridge 52 (based on the use of normal "AAA" cellular batteries ). In alternative embodiments of the airtime cartridge 52, which use a different energy storage 34, the relative thickness of the airtime cartridge 52 may be different. The body of the telephone also preferably includes a connecting handle 110, whereby a user can attach the telephone to a strap or chain (not shown). Figure 13 is a rear view of a cellular telephone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activated by microphone. The microphone movement switch tab 100 on the microphone arm 101 can be moved from a ficlosed position 104a (where the microphone 76 is in a closed position 106a), to a second open position 104b (wherein the microphone 76 it is in an open position 106b) within a switch channel 102. When the microphone is in the closed position 106a, the cellular telephone 34 without keyboard is inactivated, and when the microphone is in the open position 106b, the cellular telephone 34b, portable without keyboard is activated, and makes contact, or maintains contact , with the system server 30. The microphone 76 is preferably assembled on a thermoplastic elastomeric arm 101, which is soft to the touch, and flexible, but has sufficient rigidity to allow the arm to extend (i.e., fold or unfold) from the body 90. phone, to project closer to the user's mouth, when the phone is in use. When the cellular phone 34b, portable without keypad is off (not in use), the microphone arm 101 is deployed within the telephone body 90. To use the body 34b cell phone, portable without keyboard (to make an outgoing call, or to receive a call), the microphone arm 101 is extended, either by pushing the microphone movement switch tab 100 located at the top of the column flange 103, or by pulling the end of the microphone arm 101 . As the microphone arm 101 extends to the open position 106b, the internal activation switch 116 closes, activating the cellular, handset 34b without keyboard. To end a call, the microphone arm 101 slides back towards the telephone body 90. The microphone 76 is electrically connected to the electronic circuitry 48 by a flexible service handle 103 (Figure 19), which ensures that electrical contact between the microphone 76 and the electronic circuitry 48 is maintained, if the arm is deployed 106b or contracts 106a. Figure 14 is a partial, front, cross-sectional view of a cellular phone 34b, portable, without keyboard, - activatable by microphone. Figure 15 is a sectional, left, partial view of a cellular telephone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone. Figure 16 is a top cross-sectional view of a cellular telephone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone. Figure 17 is a central cross-sectional view of a cellular telephone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone. Figure 18 is a lower cross-sectional view of a cellular phone 34b, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone. Figure 19 is an extended, partial view of an alternative embodiment of a cellular phone 34c, portable, without keyboard, activatable by microphone. The cellular, hand-held, keyboardless, microphone-enabled telephone 34c includes a slide-on activating switch 116, comprising the switch contact 116a and the strike contact 116b. When the microphone 76 moves from a first closed position 106a to a second open position 106b, the switch contact 116a and the strike contact 116 are in electrical contact with each other, to activate the cellular, handheld telephone 34c. The cellular, hand-held, keyboardless, microphone-enabled telephone 34c also includes a top-closure panel 112 that connects to the telephone body 90. In the embodiment shown in FIG. The RF circuitry includes battery contact 114, which extends through contact holes 119 defined through the top closure panel 112, to contact the stored energy 54 within a connected airtime cartridge 52. The hearing aid 74 is electrically linked to the RF circuitry 48 by a speaker leads 115, and the microphone 76 is attached to the RF circuitry 48 by a flexible microphone lead 113 and microphone interconnections 117a, 117b. Corresponding Algorithmic Generation and Information Storage. Fig. 20 is a functional block diagram 120a showing the corresponding algorithmic generation 122 of information 124 of the server communication unit and information 126 of the airtime cartridge communication unit. In Figure 20, the information 124 of the algorithmically generated server communication unit includes a set 128 of single-use server communication units 130a-130n with an associated unit key 132. Also in Figure 20, the information 126 of the algorithmically generated air time cartridge communication unit includes a set 55 of airtime communication units 57a-57n for individual use, wherein each of the communication units of use Individual has an ID 59a-59n associated, unique, separate. Additionally, the unique identifiers, algorithmically generated 59a-59n, for the set 55 of air time communication units 57a-57n for individual use, are also mapped to the unit key 132 within the system server, such that each ID 59 only, encrypted, transmitted may be decrypted correctly by the unit key 132 within the system server 30, allowing a correspondence between the corresponding airtime communication units 57 and the server communication units 130. By means of the corresponded algorithmic generation 122, the algorithmically generated set 128 of individual use server communication units 130a-130n correspond to the algorithmically generated set 55a of airtime communication units 57a-57n for individual use. Therefore, each algorithmically generated individually-use communication unit 130 corresponds to a unit 57 of communication and airtime of individual use, algorithmically generated, of correspondence. For example, the individual use communication unit 130a corresponds to the individual use airtime communication unit 57a (ie, CU-1 equal to CU-1), and the individual use communication unit 130b corresponds to the individual use airtime communication unit 57b (i.e., CU-2 equal to CU-2). Likewise, the total number of communication units 130a-130n of the individual use server within the server set 128 corresponds to the total number of air time communication units 57a-57n for individual use in the ATC set 22. Also, the defined service time slot 63 (FIG. 4) (eg, one minute of local communication) is the same for each single use server communication unit 130 generated and the airtime communication units 57 used. individual. The different airtime cartridges 52 may vary in the fee 65 (Figure 4) of pre-paid time, defined for the set 55 of units 57a-57n of airtime communication, for individual use. For example, a set 55 can provide 30 minutes of total local call service, while set 55 provides 60 minutes of total long distance call service. The corresponded algorithmic generation 122 of the information 124 of server communication units and the information 126 of air-time cartridge communication units can be executed in various locations, such as at the point of manufacture of the airtime cartridges 52. Alternatively, the airtime cartridges 52 can be charged with the sets 55 of communication units 57a-57n at a remote location, such as at a point of purchase of the airtime cartridge 52. In a preferred embodiment, the new sets 55 of communication units 57a-57n can be installed in an airtight cartridge 52. Figure 21 is a functional block diagram of an alternative mode 120b for the corresponding algorithmic generation of information 124 of server communication units and information 126 of air time cartridge communication units. In Figure 21, a shared algorithm 123, such as a unit key 132m, is supplied to both the system server 30 and the airtime cartridge 52. Using algorithm 123 supplied, algorithmic generation of information 124 from server communication units is performed within system server 30, and algorithmic generation of information 126 from airtime cartridge communication units is executed within the cartridge 52 of airtime. The sets 128 of individual-use server communication units 130a-130n can all be established in one, and then stored within the system server 30, or alternatively produced as needed by the system server 30 . Likewise, sets of individual use airtime communication units • 57a-57n can be set all at once by a processor inside the airtime cartridge 52 and then stored in memory, or they can be produced from alternatively, as needed, by the airtight cartridge 52. For an authentication algorithm 123, shared, simple, the processing required for the algorithmic generation of the information 124 of server communication units by the information 126 of airtime cartridge communication units can not be significant, compared to the cost of the memory within the server 30 of system or the airtime cartridge 52, suggesting that the internally generated information 120b may be feasible by either or both units. In alternative embodiments, the use of interrogation response systems may be used to establish the information 124 of server communication units, corresponded and information 126 of air-time cartridge communication units. Activation and shelf life of Cartridges of Cellphone minutes. As described above, the airtime cartridges include energy storage 54, such as a battery supply 54. For the airtime cartridges 52 including a single-use energy storage 54, each airtime cartridge 52 inherently has an energy shelf life, due to the inherent loss of stored energy of the batteries 54. A date 232 of shelf life of the energy (Figure 28) is therefore preferably included for the airtight cartridges 52 having energy storage 54 for individual use, such that the vendors can rotate the airtime cartridges 52 which are to be sold and used as long as there is sufficient stored energy, and such that unsold airtime cartridges having potential loss of adequate energy are not distributed (i.e., not sold) to portable telephone users. In addition, as shown in Figure 20 and Figure 21, the information '124 of server communication units, generated preferably includes the establishment of a designator 134a of expiration date for the set 128 of units 130a-130n of server communication, while the information 126 of airtime cartridge communication units, generated preferably includes the establishment of an expiration date designator 134b for the set 55 of airtime communication units 57 for individual use . The first time an air time cartridge 52 is activated, the telephone 34 transmits the first single use airtime communication unit 57a, which has a unique associated ID 59a for a set 55 of 57a-57n units of airtime communication for individual use. When the authentication server 42 receives the first single use airtime communication unit 57a, which has a unique associated ID 59a, and matches the first individual use airtime communication unit 57a to the first unit 130a communication server of individual use with a unit key 132, associated, the authentication server 42 activates the correspondence set 128 of the server communication units 130a for individual use. In addition, the telephone 34 activates the set 55 of airtime communication units 57, for individual use. Also, in a preferred embodiment, then a due date is applied to each set 55, 128 of communication units, which typically correspond to a time interval (i.e., shelf life 134a, 134b) for which the the airtime cartridge 52 is expected to be used (e.g., thirty and sixty days from the date of first use), and beginning when the airtime cartridge 52 is first used (i.e., when the sets 55, 128 they are activated). For example, if an airtime cartridge 52, which has a designated 30-day ATC expiration 134 was first activated on June 1, 1998, the authentication server 42 allows the pre-paid airtime communication units 57. for that airtime cartridge 52 are used in the time of the 30 days (for example, an expiration date is set corresponding to July 1, 1998), both in the system server 30 and in the telephone 34.

The set expiration date 134a, 134b of an airtime cartridge 52 is independent of the expiration date 232 of the shelf life of the energy. For example, an airtime cartridge 52 manufactured on January 1, 1998, with an expiration date 232 of shelf life of two years' energy, is expected to provide enough stored energy 34 until January 1, 1998. However, if the airtime cartridge 52 includes an established expiration date 134a, 134b of 60 days from the first use, and the airtime cartridge 52 is first used on June 1, 1999., the airtime cartridge 52 therefore expires on August 1, 1999 (or still, the use of all individual use, pre-paid airtime communication units 57a-57n). System Security Figure 22 shows an authentication information packet 140, which is transmitted from a portable telephone 34 without keyboard, and is received by the system server 30, which is to be authenticated by the authentication server 42. An authentication information packet 140 typically contains the ID 58 of an airtime cartridge for an air time cartridge 52 installed between the portable telephone 34 without a keypad. In a preferred embodiment, wherein the handset 34 without keypad includes a telephone ID 50, the telephone ID is also included within the packet 140 of authentication information. The authentication information packet 140 also includes the airtime communication unit, pre-paid, transmitted, and a parasitic signal 142 of ATC-ID. While the ATC-ID 58 and the telephone ID 50 are typically transmitted as clear text (ie, not encrypted) within the packet 140, the communication unit 57 of 'pre-paid airtime transmitted and the parasitic signal 142 of ATC-ID are sent with encryption 144. In one embodiment, encryption 144 is 3DES (data encryption standard) or similar encryption. The encryption of the transmitted, pre-paid airtime communication unit 57 provides protection against malicious attacks to the system 10 by unauthorized users or entities. In some embodiments, the authentication information packet 140 is transmitted from the portable telephone 34 without a keypad to the beginning of any call, while the subsequent transmission of unique encrypted identifiers 59a-59n is used during a current call (Figure 23). In alternative embodiments, the authentication information packet 140 is repeatedly transmitted from the portable telephone 34 without a keypad during a call. The repeated transmission of the authentication information packets 140 protects the system 10 from "hook and change" attacks by unauthorized users. The stronger the encryption 146 used for a transmitted authentication information packet 140, the longer it will take to authenticate server 42 typically authenticate a user. For extremely strong encryptions 146, there may be a slight delay between the initial activation of a cellular phone 34, portable without a keypad by a user and the start of the operation activated with voice from the voice knowledge server 44 within the system server 30 . In an alternative embodiment, the authentication information packets 140 are repeatedly transmitted from the portable telephone 34 without a keypad during a call, whereby the sequential, airtime communication units 57 are sent in sequential authentication information packets 140. . In this embodiment, each communication unit 57 includes unique encryption, as created by an associated unit key 132, which is executed in the transmission time (thereby avoiding the cost of storing the unique encrypted identifiers 59). In addition, there is no requirement to pre-compute the server communication units 130, such as within the system server 30. For each ITC ID 58, the authentication server 42 reserves a matching, associated unit key 132 (eg, a 168-bit 3DES key). When the authentication server 42 receives each authentication information packet 140, the authentication server 42 reads the ATC ID 58 within the authentication information packet 140, and uses the unit key 132 associated with the ATC ID 58 to decrypt the authentication. unit 57 of airtime communication for individual use. The decrypted individual use airtime communication unit 57 is then decreased from the remaining time value 65 for the airtime cartridge 52 (Figure 23). The encryption 144 is different for each packet 140 of authentication information, while an individual ATC ID 58, has corresponded to a single unit key 132, is associated with the airtime cartridge 52. Therefore, what is transmitted is a discrete authorization for a unit 57 of individual communication, which is time dependent. If an unauthorized user manages to receive a transmitted communication unit 57, the unauthorized user can not reuse the communication unit 57 to obtain the communication service, since the transmitted communication unit 57 is marked on the server 30. system as "use" 149 (Figure 23), and can not be used again. If an unauthorized user breaks the encoding mechanism (i.e., unit key 132) for an individual airtime cartridge 52, an unauthorized user gains only limited access to the remaining communication units 57 for that cartridge 52 of individual air time (typically, a small portion of communication). Since each airtime cartridge 52 has a unique unit key 132, an unauthorized user must break the encoding mechanism (i.e., the unit key 132 for each individual airtime cartridge 52. In this way, the use Fraudulent system 10 by unauthorized users is impractical Since services are pre-paid through the use of pre-paid airtime cartridge 52, unauthorized users can not access a billing account for a user. therefore, for individual unauthorized users, the potential financial loss is limited to the cost of the remaining communication units 57 within an individual airtime cartridge 52. For system 10, broad fraud is prevented, since users do not authorized users can not have open access to the system network 10. If an unauthorized user listens to the transmitted communication units 57 (ie intercepts and duplicates a unit 57 e transmitted communication), one can emulate a portable telephone 34, because if a communication unit 57 is transmitted, it will expire. Even if an unauthorized user breaks the unit key 132 for an airtight cartridge 52, it will only gain access to the remaining communication units 57 for a particular airtime cartridge. Also, the blank airtime cartridges 52 can not be used to provide unauthorized communication, since the blank airtime cartridges 52 are not matched to a set 128 of server communication units 130. Therefore, even if an unauthorized user steals blank airtime cartridges 52, he can not use the airtime cartridges 52 to access the system server 30. Even if an unauthorized user manages to program an airtime cartridge with a set 55 of airtime communication units, there is no corresponding set 128 of server communication units 130 located on a system server 30 with the which can be authorized to the user to receive communication. Transmission and Authentication of Communication Units for Individual Use. Figure 23 is a schematic diagram 145 showing the sequential transmission of encrypted air time communication units 57 which are each authenticated to a system server 30 and loaded against the corresponding stored communication units 130 such as the inside of the billing server 46. As a call progresses, the billing server 46 consumes server communication units 130, as the airtime communication units 57 are transmitted to the system server 30 for the telephone 34. The billing server 46 marks the communication units 130 servers in the billing server 46, "used" 149, thereby loading the discrete units of the service. Likewise, the telephone 34 without keyboard marks the airtime communication units 57 transmitted, "used" 147, thus loading discrete service units as well. If the server communication units 130, transmitted, received and matched are completely depleted 147, 149 during the call (i.e., the ATC 52 expires), the billing server 46 typically disconnects the telephone communication. In an alternative embodiment, the system server 30 preferably places the call on hold for a period of time (eg, thirty seconds), such as within a conference server 210 (Figure 26), while the user replaces the expired air time cartridge 52, in a hurry, with a new or valid airtime cartridge 52. If the call is terminated while there are still server communication units 130 available, the billing server 46 retains the stored communication units 130, remaining within the server database, such that the mobile user can use the telephone for subsequent calls. While in the process of an ordinary telephone conversation, the telephone 34 repeatedly transmits a unique identifier 59 corresponding to a sequential communication unit 57 within a set 55 of airtime communication units 57, to the system server 30 . For example, in a system where each communication unit 57,130 allows the connected telephone service for one minute, the portable telephone 34 transmits a unique identifier 59 for each unit.57 of airtime communication, in a sequential manner, for each minute of service. The unique identifiers 59 are typically transmitted in an embedded manner within the output signal 32b (FIG. 5) during the communication session (i.e., during the telephone call). For example, during a particular telephone conversation, telephone 34 without a keypad transmits a unique identifier 59 for the ninth of a series 55 of twenty sequential communication units 57a-57n. The authentication server 42 checks the ninth unique identifier 57i for authenticity, by matching the ninth joined identifier 59i in the series 55 transmitted to the stored series 128 of server communication units 130. If the authentication server 42 determines that the received communication unit identifier 59 is valid, the system flags the mail server communication unit (e.g., 130i), as "used" 149, and allows the user of the telephone without keypad 34 increase another time 63 (Figure 4) of service. At the end of another minute, the telephone 34 transmits the next unique identifier 59j (corresponding to the tenth of a series 55 of twenty sequential communication units 57a-57n), that the authentication server 42 verifies the authenticity again of the tenth unit 130 j of server communication, stored in the stored set 128 of server communication units 130a-130n. If the caller without keypad terminates the communication session before the remaining communication units 57 are sent, the remaining communication units 57 can be used for subsequent communication. However, if all communication units 57 are used before the end of the communication session, the system (i.e., both the system server 30 and the portable telephone 34) typically ends the session, insofar as it warns preferred to the user, such as with an audio signal or message 192 (Figure 25) before the time expires. Therefore, each airtime communication unit 57, which has a unique identifier 59, is sent only once, and is loaded against a stored correspondent identifier in the authentication server 42. Once a communication unit 57 is sent and matched, such as to pay for an increase 63 of telephone service time, the unique identifier 59 is useless for further communication. Within a set 55 of communication units 57a-57n, each unique identifier 59 corresponds to an increment 63 of time, subsequent service, such that the portable telephone 34 repeatedly sends different unique identifiers 59 during the subsequent 63 time periods. Since the amplifier identifiers 59 are only transmitted once, even if they are captured, they can not be used again to receive communication services. Therefore, system 10 provides efficient communication services, which are paid on receipt of services, and system 10 is secured against unauthorized use. In most system modalities, each 57,130 communication unit corresponds to an increase 63 of service quota time. In alternative modalities, one or more communication units (CU) 57,130 may be required to initiate a communication session, or to initiate the first determined period of a conversation (for example, five CUs for the first three minutes, and one CU per minute, later). In other alternative modalities, the billing server 46, and the telephone 34 without keyboard, can load the communication units 57,130 based on different services, such as local call, long distance call, roaming charges (traveler), or others. charges to the service provider. Communication Units Charge to both Telephone as to the Server. As a call proceeds, the series of communication units are "spent" sequentially and counted as used by both the telephone 34 and the billing server 46. The charge of the airtime communication units 57 is performed by the portable telephone 34 without a keyboard, since as a call progresses, the portable telephone 34 without a keyboard needs to know which airtime communication units 57 are depleted, and which units 57 airtime communication will be sent below. In addition, the charge of the mail server communication units 130 is performed by the server 30 of the system, as a call progresses, the system server 30 controls the unauthorized communication and sequentially changes the mail server communication units 130 , providing appropriate information to the user (for example, such as the provision of message that ATC 52 is close to running out). If an airtime communication unit identifier 59 transmitted is appropriately sent from a portable telephone 34 without keyboard, but is not accepted by the system server 30 (such as from an individual communication unit identifier 59, which is sent and accepts first from an unauthorized user), the portable telephone 34 without keyboard preferentially attempts to send the next sequential, unused identifier 59 of airtime communication unit. For example, if a second identifier 59b of airtime communication unit is not accepted, it may mean that the second identifier 59b of airtime communication unit has already arrived at the system server 30, such as from an unauthorized source. Therefore, the portable telephone 34 without keypad preferentially sends the next identifier 59c of airtime communication unit. Establishment of a Call. When a cellular phone 34 is authenticated, portable without a keyboard (ie, it is authorized), by the authentication server 42, the authentication server 42 allows a voice communication link to be established between the cellular phone 34, portable , without keyboard and 'voice recognition server 44'. Figure 24 is a functional block diagram 146 for establishing a call, between a cellular phone 34, portable, without keyboard, the system server 30, and a connected device (eg, a conventional telephone 12 connected to the PSTN) 14). Once activated by a user, the cellular telephone 34 without keyboard establishes the contact 32 with the system server 30 using the mobile communication equipment 23, such as through the base station 24 of the mobile exchange, and the office 22 of mobile telephone switching. Upon receipt of the unique identifier 59 transmitted on the authentication server 42, typically located either in a private branch exchange (PBX), or in the premises of a PSTN operator, the authentication server 42 confirms the validity of the telephone 34 cellular, portable without keyboard. Once the signal 32 is validated, the billing server 46 checks the 128,130 stored credit quota, remaining for the airtime cartridge 52 of the cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard. A call initiated on the cellular telephone 34 without keyboard then connects to the destination receiver, via the system server 30, which typically terminates the call, such as through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) 14 to the specific location (for example, a destination telephone 12) anywhere on earth E. Outgoing calls. For an outgoing call, a user first activates the portable telephone 34 without a keypad (for example, by opening the telephone 34a or by sliding the microphone 76 into the telephone 34b). The portable telephone 34 without keyboard makes a connection to the system server 30, and awaits authorization. Once the authorization is achieved, the speech recognition server, in a preferably automated way, notifies the user of the telephone number to be dialed (or preferentially connects the caller to a search service 411). If the call is long distance (for example, outside the coverage area), the call is either charged against the airtime cartridge (if the airtime cartridge 52 allows long distance service), or is alternatively charged , as communicated by the user to the speech recognition server. Billing is typically achieved as a collect call to the recipient, or as a charge to a credit card or a pre-paid calling card. For an outgoing call, the voice recognition server 44 notifies the user to enter the desired destination identification, such as the telephone number of a telephone 12. For example, a user may enter the destination telephone number, desired "I wish Call 212-555-1212. " The speech recognition server 44 then preferentially confirms the number that the user wishes to dial. In the confirmation, the system server 30 transmits the call to the designated terrestrial line, such as through the land-based network, PSTN 14. Figure 25 provides a flow chart 150 for an outgoing call using a cellular service via Voice recognition and virtual operators. In activation 152 (for example, such as by sliding a microphone 76 of a portable telephone 34b without a keypad to an activated position 106b), the cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard engages, and automatically attempts to connect to a service provider 30 , designated. If a service provider 30 is not currently available, such as if the user is currently located out of range, or if the system server 30 is not functioning correctly (i.e. "dropped"), a message of "there is no service" pre-programmed, communicating the fact to the user in this way. If the service is available 160, the connection is made 162. The ATC ID 58 is checked 164, both for the validity and for the available credit 57. If there is no credit left 57, 5 a message code 168 is transmitted back to the user. If the credit counter (charge units) shows a positive balance 170, a remaining credit message 172 transmits the number of units available to the user. The connection is then passed 174 to the voice recognition server 44 (ie, a virtual operator). Voice recognition is attempted 176 with user confirmation before the call is processed. If you refuse 178 to confirm the As a user, the user is preferably directed to a human operator. Once a user connection is confirmed, either through voice recognition 182 or through human operator 180, a connection 184 is attempted via the network public switched telephone (PSTN) 14 (Figure 1). Regular PSTN error messages apply, such as busy signal, wrong number, or non-existent number dialed. You can also make 186 certain charging charges for the connection attempt, such as for airtime used, or applicable services, such as assistance by operator. If the calls are terminated successfully, the credit assignment is monitored for the duration of the call. If the expiration 190 of credit allocation is before the end of the call, the call is interrupted 194 and an appropriate message 192 is typically sent to the user. The ATC ID 58 is then invalidated 196, disabling additional calls from a cellular, handheld 34 telephone without a keypad using the airtime cartridge 52, exhausted. The billing record is canceled, thus invalidating the additional use of the exhausted air time cartridge 52. As discussed above, in a preferred embodiment of the system, the system server 30 does not immediately disconnect the calls when an air time cartridge 52 expires, thereby allowing the user to change a spent air time cartridge 52, in a hurry, while the incoming call is held. For calls terminated 198 by the user, the system charges the credit allocation 200, in the term 202. Incoming Calls. While the Figure describes the use of a portable telephone 34 without a keypad for the transmission of outgoing calls, a portable telephone 34 without a keypad, basic can also be used to receive calls. For a portable telephone 34, without a keypad, used to receive incoming calls, the user gives callers a pager ID 107, associated with the portable telephone 34 without a keypad, which allows callers to reach a user through the system 10. A caller who wishes to call a user of a portable, basic telephone 34 first dials an access number 208 (Figure 26, which connects the caller to the system server 30. At the entry of a number identifier (for example, typically four to six digits long) for the portable telephone 34, without destination keyboard, the system server 30 routes the caller to the desired portable telephone 34. A handheld telephone 34 without keyboard, basic indicates the incoming calls , such as by an audio signal (eg, a beep or ring), or by a visual signal, such as a scintillation light emitting diode, visible through the body 30 of the telephone. l telephone 34 laptop without keyboard, then a communication connection is made. Whereas a basic keyboardless cellular phone 34, having only the RF circuitry 48, can be used for the reception of incoming calls, a cellular telephone 34, portable, without keypad, basic is normally in a non-activated state . When in an activated state, the RF circuitry is activated, and the cellular, hands-free telephone without keyboard establishes and maintains contact with a system server 30, which typically requests the current transmission and the use of the time communication units. air, for individual use, pre-paid. Incoming Calls for Portable Telephone without Keypad that has Radiolocalizer Circuitry. Figure 26 is a block diagram for a cellular, portable, keyboard-less preferred system 10b ', 10b', in which the cellular, handheld telephone without keypad includes the pager circuitry 107 (Figure 8, 11) such as inside a cartridge 52 of airtime. For a portable telephone 34 having the pager circuitry 107, the internal pager circuitry 107 is always on at the initial activation of the portable telephone 34. Radiolocation circuitry 107 typically uses a small amount of energy, and can be extended for a prolonged period of time. When a radiolocation signal 36 is received, the power withdrawal is transferred from the paging circuitry 109 to the telephone RF circuitry 48, thereby pulling in more power, while allowing the call 32. The paging circuitry 107 is associated with an '101 pager identification (Figure 11). Since the cellular, handset without keyboard typically has replaceable airtime cartridges 52, which are used to identify and locate the telephone 34, as well as to access the system server 30, to everything Throughout the life of a portable cell phone 34 without a keyboard, there are typically many 52 airtime cartridges associated with a cellular phone 5 34, portable without a keyboard. The paging circuitry 107 therefore includes a unique paging identification 109, so that the system server 30 can locate the cellular phone 34,10 laptop, without keyboard, remote, and routing calls to cell phone 34, portable without keyboard. An air time cartridge 52 having the pager circuitry 109 therefore includes either a 111 mark of Identification (Figure 10) that lists the identification 109 of the pager, or includes other means for notifying the user of the pager identification 107, such as a voice synthesized, stored, accessible message. communicates the identification 109 to the user, or to a connected party calling in the warning by the remote user (for example, "this ATC number is 6472"). The pager 109 identifiers 1 are temporary, and are only good for any life of the energy storage 54, or the credit 55 is next to the airtime cartridge 52 (for example, 60 days or 60 minutes of use, whichever comes first). Therefore the pager identifications 109 (or ATC connection numbers for a basic airtime cartridge) can be reused for a plurality of airtime cartridge 52 over time. The pager identification 109 for an airtime cartridge 52 is preferably selected from a mixture of pager identifications 109 in quota for the system server 30. The reuse of identifications 109 of the pager reduces to a minimum the overcrowding of the telephone network 13. In one embodiment, the pager number 109 will typically be associated with a call at number 208 for a server 30 of system (that is, similar to an extension number). The pager number 109 can be dialed, along with the server call number 208, or it can be entered by two, after dialing the call number 208, such as the server 44 of speech recognition (for example "please connect me to the pager" 5555""). In another embodiment, the user is able to associate a pager ID number 109 and a telephone ID number 50, such as through a access to the mesh, password protected. The user can then reuse a previously established contact database and / or a pager ID number 109 previously used. This is advantageous, particularly for handsets 34 lost or misplaced, whereby a user can reuse the previously established and stored information, such as a database 38a of the electronic address book. The ATC pager identification 109 is not necessarily a telephone number, but simply a routing number to the remote user of the airtime cartridge 52, through the system server 30 (eg, "6472"). The system call in the number 208 associated with the pager number 107 is typically a local or national connection. Likewise, the call at number 208 is not necessarily a telephone number. For example, the system may preferentially reserve a telephone prefix (eg, XXX) within an area code (eg, 415), whereby a calling party may simply call the area code, the prefix, followed by the pager identification 109 (for example, for a pager identification 109"6472", the dialed number is "1-415-XXX-6472." The system call of the number 208 associated with the pager number 107 may be alternatively, an Internet connection For an Internet connection, a calling party can preferentially send a text-based message, which can be stored within the system server 30, and read to the user, through a module voice synthesis A user of the cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard typically selectably provides paging identification 109 to another person, so that the user can be called. example, a user can call, and leave the pager identification 109 as part of a voice mail on an answering machine (for example, "call me back to the 6472 pager"). When an incoming caller, such as from a conventional telephone 12, transmits the pager number 109 to the system server 30, the server sends the call session to the conference storage 210. While the conference storage 210 may be a connected server, it may alternatively be located within the system server 30. The system server 30 then sends a radiolocation signal 36 to a cellular telephone 34b, through a radiolocation central 26 and the radiolocation transmitter 28, while the calling party establishes a "retention" within the storage 210 of conference. The paging circuitry 109, on receiving a radiolocation signal 36, provides a radiolocation signal 212 (eg, a ring, chime, chime, indicator light or vibration). Since the user of the portable telephone 34 has probably distributed the pager identifier 107 to a limited number of people, the user of the portable telephone knows that the incoming call is probably from a desired caller, and is waiting for the incoming call. To connect to an incoming call, the portable user selectively activates the cellular, handheld telephone without keypad such as by pulling the microphone 76 downward to an activated position 106b. While the pager circuitry 109 notifies the user, such as with a beep or a ring 212, the telephone circuitry 48 remains inactive, until it is selectively activated by the user. The incoming calls are kept on the system server 30, until the user activates the cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard. Since the telephone circuitry 48 remains inactive, the user has the choice to activate the telephone 34b or not. Since the connection time is "charged" against the pre-paid airtime communication units 57a-57n, inside the airtime cartridge 52, the user can choose not to activate the telephone 34b, particularly if a call is not expected, or if the caller is busy. If the cellular telephone 34 without keyboard does not activate, the caller can preferentially leave a verbal voicemail message on the server 30. The user can then retrieve, at a later time, the voicemail stored from the server 30 of system. If the cell phone user activates the telephone 34, the telephone 34 automatically connects to the system server 30, as described above, and the authentication server 42 authenticates the user, in a manner similar to an outgoing call placed from the telephone. 34 cell without keyboard. Once the user is authenticated, the system server 30 identifies the ATC ID 58, and knows that there is a pending call associated with that ATC ID 58 in "hold" within the conference server 210. The system server 30 in this manner routes the user of the pending call, and the calling parties are connected. While the conference server 210 typically retains an active caller in a hold queue, the conference server 210 may also store information, such as voice mail, or text-based mail. In preferred embodiments, when a mobile user calls, the system server notifies the server of one or more messages, which the user can selectively choose to listen to or retrieve. For voicemail, the system server retrieves the stored voicemail message, and reproduces the message back to the mobile user. The user can repeat the message playback, save the message for later retrieval, or delete the message. For voicemail that includes a callback number, the speech recognition server 44 can preferentially detect and store the number, such that the remote caller can call the stored number, such as with a voice command "call back". In alternative modes, a calling party may leave a voice mail message within the system server or conference 210, such that a user who does not activate the cellular, portable telephone without a keypad receives the incoming call. Alternatively, a calling party, when calling the system server 30, can be provided with choices, such as a telephone connection to the cell phone user, or leaving a voicemail message (for example, if he knows the telephone user). cellular in this conference). Rechargeable Air Time Cartridges. The Figure 27 is a side view 218 of a cellular phone 34b, portable without keyboard having a rechargeable, airtight cartridge 52a, which is recharged for both the stored energy 54 and an acquired set 55 of communication units 57a-57n pre-paid air time. While air-time cartridges 52 are frequently single-use (i.e. non-rechargeable) cartridges, in some preferred embodiments, stored energy 54 can be recharged. In other preferred embodiments, the new sets 55 of communication units 57a-57n can be installed within the airtime cartridge 52, such as through an acquisition connection 226 (e.g., an authorized Internet connection) at work. home, or another remote location, such as in the vending machine. Figure 27 shows an air time cartridge refill unit 220, which includes a room 221 of airtime cartridge. The airtime cartridge room 221 accepts a rechargeable airtime cartridge 52a, which has battery contact 224, and contact 228 of the authentication module. When a user installs a spent, rechargeable, airtime cartridge 52 a in the airtight cartridge port 221, the battery contacts 224 come into contact with the power input connection 222, and the contacts 228 of the authentication module they come in contact with the pre-paid acquisition connection 222. For a home-based Internet connection 226, the user may need to establish a secure authorized connection (e.g., a secure socket layer, SSL), such as to the system server 30, while providing the payment (for example, billing to a credit card) for a new set 55 purchased from airtime communication units 57a-57n. For an acquisition connection 226 based on a vending machine, the user may only require swiping or turning a credit card to provide payment for a new purchased set 55 of air time communication units 57a-57n. The user may also be asked to provide a PIN number associated with the card (such as for an ATM card). As described above, when the algorithmically generated arrays 55 of the air time communication units 57a-57n are sold to a user, thereby providing generation of the ATC information 124 to a recharger 220, the part that The sells must also provide the generation of correspondence of the information 124 of the server to the system server 30. In an alternative embodiment of the airtime cartridge, energy storage can be removed (i.e., replaceable batteries), while the set of pre-paid one-time airtime communication units 57 can be recharged. Replaceable Air Time Cartridges. The Figure 28 is a cellular phone 34b, portable without keyboard having a plurality of removable and replaceable airtime cartridges 52a, 52b. The airtime cartridges 52a, 52b also preferably include an energy expiration storage mark 232, such as for airtime cartridges 52a, 52b having a single-use energy source (eg, non-rechargeable batteries). ). In this embodiment, the telephone body 90 can be reused, and includes a receptacle 231 for receiving removable and replaceable airtime cartridges 52a, 52b. As the pre-paid air time credit 55 of the first airtime cartridge 52a is exhausted, the user can remove the first room temperature cartridge 52a, and install a second airtime cartridge 52a, thereby reactivating the telephone. The replaceable airtime cartridges 52 can be distributed or sold in a wide variety of ways, since the service provided is supplied internally with each of the airtime cartridges 52 (i.e., there is no activation required of a special warehouse). For example, portable telephones 34 without a keyboard, or replaceable airtime cartridges 52, can be purchased from a wide variety of vending machines or commercial publications. In the preferred embodiments, the telephone cartridges 52 may be used for promotional advertisements, whereby the airtime cartridges 52 are distributed or sold, and may include supplementary information, such as text or advertisement logos. Different service providers 30 preferentially sell different replaceable airtime cartridges, selectively providing different levels of service, such as national coverage, local coverage, or overseas service, depending on the operator, policy and target market. While the RF circuitry 48 for a cellular, hand-free, keyboardless telephone 34 matches different regional, system servers 30, the consumer may optionally use different carriers 30 with different services to match their current communication needs. For example, a business user, while traveling, may use an airtime cartridge 52 that offers regional use in the west cost, while it is located in California. By traveling to New York, the business traveler can quickly replace the first airtime cartridge 52 with a second 52 airtime cartridge, which offers regional service to the east coast. Information Input from External Sources.

Figure 29 is a functional block diagram for a portable cell-phone system 10c without a keyboard with a voice recognition operation system 33, wherein the information is preferentially transferred to the system server 30, either directly 40, or indirectly 41, from a plurality of external information sources 38a-38n. The transferred information is then typically stored within the system server 30 and is then preferably accessible to one or more cellular phones 34, portable, without a keyboard. The information transferred is available from a variety of external information sources 38a-38n, such as data downloaded from an external computer, from a personal digital assistant (e.g., a PalmPilot ™, manufactured by 3Com Corporation, of Sunnyvale, CA) , a regular phone (for example, by typing in commonly dialed numbers and associating them with speed dial numbers, by voice through the voice recognition system 44, or by an Internet connection) or through first class external services, such as sources 38b of information of stores or music channels 38n. For text-based stored messages, the speech recognition system 46 preferably includes a speech synthesis module, which reads the stored text, and provides a synthesized reproduction for the mobile user. In this way, peripheral devices, such as computers, can be used to send messages to a remote user, such as email to the system server 30, whereby the remote user can easily access text-based messages. For example, as described above, a user can download a database 38a from the electronic address book, personal to the system server 30, and can preferentially launch database records (ie, commonly called numbers). telephone and personal) to quickly dial the numbers with the system server 30. In this example, it is preferred that the set address book and the speed dial codes are linked to the cell phone 34, portable without keyboard, having a telephone ID 50, so that the user can retrieve the information from the book of addresses, or using the programmed speed dial numbers, while using the cellular, portable, keyboardless telephone 34, even when a new pre-paid airtime cartridge 52 is started. The use of speed dial numbers of a cellular, handheld telephone without keyboard is preferred, since a user can quickly provide a simple speed dialing code to the speech recognition server 44 to place a call, which is more accurately detected by the speech recognition computer program, and it is confirmed by the virtual operator. The user's database is protected with passwords is ensured, such that only the authorized user can access the data. In Figure 29, an alternative, external source of information 38b provides a download of the updated information regarding the warehouse portfolio or existence for a user. For example, a user can follow a portfolio from an external computer and has updated information sent to the system server 30, which will be updated. Alternatively, a user can define a stock portfolios on the system server 30, or through another external source, and the system server 30 can retrieve the updated information from an external source, so that the user has access to the updated information of the cellular telephone 34, portable without keyboard. Therefore, a user of a cellular, portable telephone without keyboard preferably has information available from a number of sources. In the above examples, a user can reserve speed dial numbers, from one to ten for telephone numbers (which the voice recognition server 44 can use to make calls)., and the eleven to twelve speed dial numbers for inventory portfolio information (which the system server can download and quote to the user, such as through speech synthesis software). Also shown in Figure 29 is the downloadable, external music source 38n, downloadable music can be available to a cellular phone 34 without a keyboard, such as access through a replaceable, preferred airtime cartridge 52. . The downloadable music, such as transferred to the MPS format, can be played through the system server 30, or it can be downloaded to a preferred airtime cartridge having an internal MP3 player, and which reproduces the music signal as it receives the signal, or preferably it stores it in the buffer of the airtime cartridge, such as for the subsequent reproduction. For example, a user can activate the cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard for a limited time, to download 38n music, and can store the music internally to a preferred cartridge of airtime; allowing the user to play the music one or more times, such as when the cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard is not activated (and not connected to the system server 30), thereby avoiding the cost of the 57 communication-loaded units of airtime while listening to the stored music. While the source 38n of external information is described as music, the transferable data 38 may include numerous different acoustic information, such as news reports, lectures or audio books, which the user may have access, either in a hurry, or in a warehouse and reproduction base. The different services, such as local, regional or external call services, or the reception of external information 38a-38n, are typically available to the user, such as through the use of different replaceable airtime cartridges 52. As described above, some external information 38, such as a user address book 38a or existence portfolio information 38b, is linked to a telephone ID 50. This stored intelligence typically relates to a unique telephone ID 50, so that a user can have continuous access to the stored information, even when the airtime cartridges 52 are changed. This information stored within the server 30 is not typically associated with an airtime cartridge ID for a removable, individual use airtime cartridge 52, because the airtime cartridge 52 is inherently used for a limited period. However, pre-paid access to the different services is typically available to different preferred airtime cartridges. Therefore, while the telephone ID can be linked to some preferred services, the ATC ID 58 is used to allow pre-paid access to preferred services. The user of a cellular telephone 34, portable without keyboard, will have private access to preferred services, depending on the payment capabilities of the airtime cartridge 52, (for example, something first class to have access to quotes 38b of existence ). Therefore, an airtime cartridge 52 providing premium services can be quoted, differently from a basic phone cartridge 52. A user may have a plurality of airtime cartridges, therefore, to provide pre-paid access to different calling services or preferred services. Establishment of Communication Units. Figure 30 is a schematic block diagram 234 of a machine 236 for selling airtime cartridges. The machine 236 for selling airtime cartridges typically includes a network connection 238 to a system server 30, such as through a connection 240 through the public switched telephone network 14. The sale machine 236 of airtime cartridges includes a processor 237 of one or more batteries 242a-242n for selling telephone cartridges for retaining and distributing one or more airtime cartridges 52. A plurality of stacks 242a-242n are preferably used, such as for selling and distributing airtime cartridges 52 having different hardware included (eg, paging circuitry 107), or having different services (eg, call). local, long distance, address book, music download), or pre-paid access to services (for example, such as 30 minutes of call time, ATC shelf time of 30 days). There are three main modes of operation for the alternative modes of the 236 machine for selling airtime cartridges; wherein: i) the pre-burned (pre-programmed) airtime cartridges (and enabled) are stored within the vending machine 236; ii) pre-burned (pre-programmed) airtime cartridges 52 are stored within the vending machine 236, while the vending machine 236 communicates the sale of the airtime cartridges 52, such that access is allowed to the network at the point of sale; or iii) the blank airtime cartridges 52 are stored within the vending machine 236, and burned (programmed) in a hurry, in conjunction with the transmission of data between the vending machine 236 and the system server 30, to allow access to the network. In the preferred vending machine mode 234, shown, the airtime stored cartridges 52 are initially produced with storage capacity (i.e., a blank authentication module 56 (Figure 3)) to receive a set 55 of units 57a -57n communication, but are distributed as blank products, whereby a set 55 of air-time communication units 57a-57n, pre-paid for individual use are established in a controllable manner, or "burn", for a 244 burner device, inside the sale machine 236. The vending machine also includes a payment and control interface 246, which typically includes a cash entry 248, a credit / ATM card entry 250, an interface display 252, a keypad 244, a 256 loudspeaker and a microphone 258 Either before burning 244, or as a set 55 of air-time communication units 57a-57n, pre-paid, for individual use is established, the processor 237 inside the ATC 236 selling machine communicates with the system server 30 through connection 238, 240, such that a mail set 128 of server communication units 130 is established (whereby a user can use the new airtime within a cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard, wherein the pairs 57, 130 of corresponding communication units can be mapped and marked as used 147,149 (Figure 23), between the cellular telephone 134, portable without keyboard and the system server 30. In this modality d of the ATC sale machine 236, where blank airtime cartridges are programmed on the site, the ATC sale machine 236 is secured by a password / key sound, for authorization of authorized use. Likewise, the ATC 236 vending machine is required to register and communicate all units sales of the airtime cartridges 52. At the time of sale, the ATC selling machine 236 can preferentially print a sales receipt, which preferably contains a user's key, by which the user can subsequently configure the purchased cartridge of airtime (for example, such as through the configuration by the mesh). Since a user can commonly install and use a new airtime cartridge 52 in a portable, cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard as soon as afterwards he purchases the airtime cartridge 52, it is important that the corresponding set 128 of communication units 130 of server is established promptly (otherwise, cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard is not able to make an authorized connection to the system server 30, for communication services). In a preferred embodiment, the set expiration date 134a, 134b (for example, sixty days) is established at the point of purchase. A machine 236 for selling airtime cartridges is preferably contacted with the system server 30, before the point of sale of the airtight cartridges 52, whereby the corresponding algorithmic generation 122 (Figures 20, 21 ) of the information 124 of the server communication units and the information 126 of air-time cartridge communication units, or a plurality of shared algorithms 123 (Figure 21) are used to establish a plurality of matched sets 55, 128 ( that is, a pre-paid air time inventory) between the system server 30 and the sale machine 236. To purchase an airtime cartridge 52, a user inserts a coin 262 in the cash entry 248, or a credit card or ATM bank card 264 in the entry 250 of the credit / ATM card. The payment and control interface 246 preferentially guides the user through the selection of the airtime cartridge and payment process, such as by visual warning through screen 252 of the interface, or audio warnings through speakers 256. The user enters information, such as the selection of the airtime cartridge, the type of payment, the codes of the credit card PIN, such as through the keyboard 254, or by voice commands in the microphone 258. In a preferred embodiment, the ATC selling machine 236 provides access to the speech recognition server 44 on the server 30 of the system during the 234 air-time cartridge procurement process. The speech recognition server 44 guides the user through the process, such as through the reproduction of audio prompts, as well as through voice recognition of the user's voice commands. When the user provides the payment for the pre-paid, airtime cartridge desired (ie the point of sale), the burning device 244 installs either a set 55 of airtime communication units 57 for individual use, pre-paid, or a shared algorithm 123 (which allows a processor within the airtime cartridge 52 to produce the equivalent set of pre-paid one-time airtime communication units 57), within the authentication module 56 52 air time cartridge, purchased. The stack 242 for selling airtime cartridges selected by the user then distributes the purchased and charged air time cartridge through the distribution port 260. Reutilization and Recycling of the Physical Equipment of System. A significant advantage of cell phones, keyboardless laptops and airtime cartridges 52 is the ease by which a person can establish pre-paid, portable communication, wherever it may be located. As described above, the conventional cellular telephone hardware requires the establishment of complicated agreements with the service providers, as well as the establishment of an electronic serial number (ie, a downlink number) for billing purposes. For conventional cell phones, this service requires that a person visit a specialized store, typically having trained personnel to perform telephone registration functions. In contrast to conventional cell phones, the purchase of a cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard does not require user registration, nor is there a need to visit a specialized store, or any need for the user to present private information, such as number of social security and / or credit history information. In contrast, the mobile phone system 10, without keyboard, provides discrete time units 63 for communication, through the paid acquisition and secure transmission of sets 55 of communication units 57, of airtime for individual use, pre -paid. As described above, the cellular phone 34 without a keyboard can have either an air-time cartridge, pre-paid, internally charged, fixed (such as a cell phone 34, portable without a "disposable" keyboard), which can have refillable or replaceable 52 pre-paid air time cartridges. Even for the rechargeable airtime cartridges 52, the establishment of new sets 55 of airtime, single-use pre-paid communication units 57 does not require visiting a specialized warehouse. While the airtime cartridges 52 have an ATC ID 58, and while the cellular, portable, keyless, preferred telephones have a telephone ID 50, and the ATC ID 58 or the telephone are linked to a user for billing purposes. Therefore, a user can easily dispose of a cellular phone 34, portable without keyboard or airtime cartridge 52, without fear of great financial risk (such as the financial risk of unrestricted access by unauthorized users for a cellular phone, conventional). Even if the cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard is lost or stolen, the financial loss is limited, at most, to the cost or physical equipment and communication units 57, of airtime for individual use, pre-paid, residual . Also, as described above, cellular, portable, keyless phones have inherently very few internal components, such as keyboard pads, or complicated internal intelligence. The majority of the system processing intelligence (e.g., such as speech recognition and authentication) are located within a remote system server 30. Additionally, most of the system memory (e.g., such as the preferred speed dial and address book information) are located within a remote system server 30. Since cell phones 34, portable, without keyboard provide limited financial watering to the user, are inherently simple to manufacture, and do not require billing registration at the point of sale, they can be easily deleted, recycled and reused among multiple users. Figure 31 shows the deletion 262,278 and the reuse 264,280 of the cell phones 34, keyboardless laptops of the airtime cartridges 52 at a remote location RL. A user, who arrives at the remote location RL, such as by an AV plane, can easily purchase a cell phone 34, portable without a keyboard, whether it has a cartridge 52 of internal airtime, or one or more replaceable airtime cartridges. The user is not required to establish a billing agreement with a service provider, and can use the cell phone 34, keyboardless laptop immediately for portable communication while going around his local business trip, MV. Even if the user, upon arrival at a remote location RL, has no idea how the local telephone system operates, the user can easily purchase a set 55 of airtime communication units, of individual use for a portable telephone 34 without keypad or for a cartridge 52 of airtime, for local communication at the remote location RL, and can make calls easily. In Figure 31, the center 266 of reuse of cellular telephones 34 without a keyboard includes a deposit 268 for downloading telephones, and a deposit 270 for distributing telephones. In a preferred embodiment, the telephone reuse center 266 includes a sales interface 272, by which a user can buy, or even "borrow", a cellular, portable telephone 34 without a keyboard (which does not have either 57 of loaded communication, or residual time communication units 57 of a previous user), or can purchase a cellular phone 34, portable without a preloaded keyboard, or re-charged, with a set 55 of airtime communication units 57 individual use pre-paid. At the end of a prolonged stay, a user can easily remove 268 the cell phone 34, portable without keyboard in any 266 telephone reuse center, convenient. In a preferred embodiment, the reuse center 266 may include a return 274, of deposit fee, as compensation for the return of the cellular telephone 34, portable without keyboard. In a similar manner, the user can easily purchase one or more replaceable airtime cartridges 52. As for the cellular phone 34, portable, without keyboard, the user does not need to establish a billing contract with a service provider, or can use the airtime cartridge 52, pre-paid with a cell phone 34, portable, without keyboard, compatible hosted, immediately for communication. In Figure 31, the center 266 for reusing cell phones, laptops without keypads also includes an ATC reuse module 276, which includes a reservoir 282 to leave the airtime cartridges, and a magazine 284 for dispensing time cartridges. air. In a preferred embodiment, the ATC reuse module 276 includes an ATC reuse sale interface 286, by which a user can purchase or "borrow" a blank airtime cartridge 54, which is to be loaded ( that it does not have air time communication units 57 loaded, or residuals from a previous user), or can purchase a pre-loaded air time cartridge 52 with a set 55 of airtime communication units, for individual use, pre -paid. In a preferred embodiment, the ATC reuse module 276 may include a return ATC deposit 288, as compensation for the return of an air time cartridge 52. At the end of a prolonged stay, therefore, a user can easily discard and recycle the airtime cartridge 52. For rechargeable air-time cartridges 52, such as for a rechargeable power supply 54 and a set of pre-paid one-time airtime communication units 57, the reuse center 266 preferably includes a recharger 220. As shown in Figure 31, therefore, the cellular, portable, keyboardless telephones 34 can be easily left at the end of use, and recycled to provide instant pre-paid communication for several users.

In a preferred embodiment, as described above, the information from an external source 38 is preferably stored in a system server 30, and then preferentially accessible to a user, at the remote location RL. For example, for a business user who spends a prolonged period of time (for example, two months) in a remote location (for example, France), the user may prefer to establish or retrieve an electronic book 38a of personal addresses, and link it to the cellular telephone 34, portable without keyboard (that is, the telephone ID 50), for the duration of the stay. For external information 38 that has been linked to a cellular phone 34, portable without a keyboard (ie, linked to a telephone ID 50), such as a personal, electronic, address book 38 (Figure 29), a user If you want to recycle the cellular telephone 34 without a keyboard, such as at the end of a business trip, you may wish to avoid access to linked information 38 by a future user of the cellular telephone 34, portable without a keyboard. In a preferred embodiment, therefore, a user can easily contact the system server 30, and direct the system server 30 either to unlink the remote information 38, or to delete the stored information 38 that is linked to the Phone ID 50 In an alternative mode, the user can set a due date for the linked information 38, such as to match the user's business itinerary (for example, if the user is returning home from the remote location by a certain date) . In another alternative embodiment, the airtime cartridge 52 includes a buffer (such as within the authentication module 56, which allows for the short-term downloading and storage of the information (e.g., address books, speed dial numbers). ), which the telephone logic circuit 84 (Figure 5) can access.At the end of the expiration date of memory, or by the expiration date 134 of airtime cartridge, the memory expires.Phone handset without Keypad with Modem. While the typical modalities of the cellular telephone 34, portable without keyboard and the system server 30 communicate voice-based signals 32 (ie, acoustic data), the preferred modalities of the system 10 can be modified to also communicate other data. example, Figure 32 shows a preferred application 290 of system data, wherein the airtime cartridge 52 within the cellular phone 34, portable without a keypad includes a mod. em 292, through which a user can establish a connection 32 to the Internet. The preferred airtime cartridge 52 includes a modem link 294 (e.g., such as a serial port connector), which can be connected to a computer 296, such as a portable computer 296, having an application 298 of a Internet navigator. The preferred airtime cartridge 52 includes a set of pre-paid individual communication units 57 with which the user can initiate registration by dialing and receive increments in connection time on the Internet (e.g., one hour). prepaid "browsing" in the global mesh) from the Internet service provider (ISP). The cell phone 34, portable, voice activated, without keyboard and system 10 provide convenient communication available to a wide variety of users. Even during short-term use, such as for work or vacations, a user can quickly acquire and use a cell phone, 34 portable, voice activated, without a keyboard, without a commitment of long-term capital by a cell phone, conventional, and without establishing complicated activation or service contracts. The payment for the communication is made in advance of the outgoing or incoming calls of the user, allowing the use of the cellular telephone 34, portable, voice activated, without keypad when buying, at any given time, anywhere in the world E. The cell phone 34, portable without a keyboard guarantees a fixed forward rate for communication based on a given number of units 57 of airtime communication, pre-paid, a limited time of use (for example shelf life 134). This cellular phone 34 can be discarded without hesitation (or optionally recycled) at the end of use, without the need to pay additional fees. The cellular phone, portable, voice activated, without keyboard does not require a dial pad or function keys, since the functionality depends on the system server 30, instead of the mechanical capabilities of the telephone 34, portable without keyboard. Likewise, the alternative modalities of the portable telephone 34 without a keyboard can be extremely small. Figure 33 is a preferred hands-free application 300, wherein a portable, wearable, keyboardless, usable telephone 34 is attached to an article of clothing. The cellular, portable, keyboardless, usable telephone 34 includes a microphone-enabled, handset 302, connected, by which the user can simply pull the microphone 76 to activate the telephone 34, and use the speech recognition server 44 to control the phone operation 34.

Figure 34 shows a mobile hands-free application 304, wherein a cellular, portable, keyboardless, miniature telephone 34 is removably mounted to the DB instrument panel of an MV automobile. The cellular phone 34d, portable, without keyboard, miniature includes an addressable loudspeaker 74, to define the loudspeaker 74 towards the user. The cellular telephone 34d also includes a directional, activatable input microphone 76, by which the user can simply pull the microphone 76 to activate the telephone 34, and use the speech recognition server 44 to control the operation of the telephone 34 of a way of hands-free, such as when driving the MV car. The cell phone 34, portable without keyboard can be easily modified for other small applications, or integrated into other devices, such as inside a watch or a portable radio. Likewise, a portable telephone without keyboard can alternatively accommodate a plurality of airtime cartridges 52, prepared such as to provide access to different services, or for mid-flight transfer of a pre-paid call from a first cartridge 52 of installed airtime to a second cartridge 52 of airtime installed. Although the portable telephone system without keyboard and its methods of use are described herein in conjunction with cellular telephone systems, the apparatus and techniques may be implemented for other communication devices, or any combination thereof, as desired. Accordingly, although the invention has been described in detail with reference to a particular preferred embodiment, persons having ordinary skill in the art to which it corresponds to this invention will appreciate that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope. of the following claims:
