Portable communications device

A digital portable communications device (1) for communication via a communications network (28) has circuitry for exchanging video signals between the device and an external video apparatus (25; 31). The circuitry for exchanging video signals is arranged to exchange the video signals in the form of analog video signals. When analog video signals are used, the exchange of video signals with external video apparatuses is not limited to apparatuses adapted to a specific protocol for the exchange of digital video signals. Thus, it is not needed to have specific software drivers for different digital protocols in the communications device in order to communicate with a camera or a display unit. Any digital or analog camera, video recorder or video display unit can be used as an accessory to the communications device.

Method and apparatus for wireless routing on a plurality of different wireless channels

To provide enhanced quality of service (QoS) communication capability, a wireless network is implemented in which different channels are used for conveying different types of data and in which wireless devices are selectively operated in either an infrastructure or ad hoc mode automatically selected to make best use of the available communication bandwidth. For example, a wireless device for a computer can be operated selectively as a client wireless device that is in communication with a legacy access point in an infrastructure mode on one channel, while using one or more different channels to communicate selectively in either ad hoc mode or infrastructure mode with client devices. To make efficient use of wireless devices, IEEE 802.11a or 802.11g wireless devices are used for communicating audio / video data on one channel, while an IEEE 802.11b wireless device is used on a different channel for communicating web page data.

Enhanced 911 notification for internet enabled alarm system

The present invention allows an alarm monitoring service to ally with a PSAP provider to allow our customers to direct connect to the 911 center responsible for their home, but no matter where the customer calls from. When an alarm monitoring company or middleware provider's automatic notification function calls the customer to report an alarm, the customer can connect directly to the local 911 even when traveling, if needed. The alarm monitoring company contacts the customer if an alarm event occurs and offers the customer the opportunity to connect with the 911 call center for their home. If the customer indicates they want to call 911, the call is routed to the correct PSAP center, with the customers home Caller ID number emulated for the call. In this manner, the PSAP center can determine, from the emulated Caller ID data, the correct response agency that is local to the customer's home.
