Appeal No. 1999-1109
Application No. 08/359,904
The disclosed invention is related to a radio telephone
that can be used in at least two radio telephone systems. The
telephone switches between the two radio telephone systems
based upon the velocity of the telephone. Thus, if a user is
moving relatively slowly, such as when walking or standing still
at home or in an office, the telephone will be used with a
first system, such as a cordless based station. However, if a
user is moving relatively fast, such as in a car, the telephone
will switch to a second system, such as a system having a
cellular or satellite based station. A further understanding of
the invention can be obtained by the following claim.
1. A radio telephone operative in at least two
radio telephone systems, the radio telephone comprising
communication means respectively associated with each of the
radio
telephone systems, at least one of the radio telephone systems
being a cellular system and at least one of the radio telephone
systems being a non-cellular system, sensing means for sensing
the velocity of movement of the radio telephone, and selection
means responsive to the sensing means for selecting one of
respective said communication means for the said telephone
systems in dependence, wholly or partially, on the sensed
velocity.
