Cellular telephone unit having multiple memory location command language

Claim 2

A cellular telephone unit comprising: an addressable memory having one or more memory locations; a keypad on which keystrokes can be entered; memory addressing circuitry, connected to said keypad and to said memory, for selectively storing one or more keystrokes as the contents of a specified said memory location in response to a STORE keystroke command sequence entered on said keypad; recognition circuitry for recognizing zero or more subsequences of keystrokes, within a keystroke sequence comprising one or more keystrokes entered on said keypad, as recall commands, each said recall command specifying a corresponding said memory location; expansion circuitry for expanding each said recall command by substituting the keystroke contents of the corresponding said memory location into said keystroke sequence in place of the recall command, repeatedly until said keystroke sequence comprises a final expanded keystroke sequence containing no recall commands.

Claim 3

A cellular telephone unit comprising: an addressable memory having one or more memory locations; a keypad on which keystrokes can be entered; memory addressing circuitry, connected to said keypad and to said memory, for selectively storing one or more keystrokes as the contents of a specified said memory location in response to a STORE keystroke command sequence entered on said keypad; recognition circuitry for recognizing zero or more subsequences of keystrokes, within a keystroke sequence comprising one or more keystrokes entered on said keypad, as recall commands, each said recall command specifying a corresponding said memory location; expansion circuitry for expanding each said recall command by substituting the keystroke contents of the corresponding said memory location into said keystroke sequence in place of the recall command, repeatedly until said keystroke sequence comprises a final expanded keystroke sequence containing no recall commands; signal generation means for generating signals in accordance with any zero or more transmission characters in said final expanded keystroke sequence; any of zero or more pre-pause signals, corresponding to any transmission characters that occur before the first of any zero or more pause characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence, being generated on a signalling channel; and any of zero or more post-pause signals, corresponding to any transmission characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence that occur after the first of any zero or more pause characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence, being generated on a voice channel.

Claim 4

A cellular telephone unit comprising: an addressable memory having one or more memory locations; a keypad on which keystrokes can be entered; memory addressing circuitry, connected to said keypad and to said memory, for selectively storing one or more keystrokes as the contents of a specified said memory location in response to a STORE keystroke command sequence entered on said keypad; recognition circuitry for recognizing zero or more subsequences of keystrokes, within a keystroke sequence comprising one or more keystrokes entered on said keypad, as recall commands, each said recall command specifying a corresponding said memory location; expansion circuitry for expanding each said recall command by substituting the keystroke contents of the corresponding said memory location into said keystroke sequence in place of the recall command, repeatedly until said keystroke sequence comprises a final expanded keystroke sequence containing no recall commands; signal generation means for generating signals in accordance with any zero or more transmission characters in said final expanded keystroke sequence; any of zero or more pre-pause signals, corresponding to any transmission characters that occur before the first of any zero or more pause characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence, being generated on a signalling channel; and any of zero or more post-pause signals, corresponding to any transmission characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence that occur after the first of any zero or more pause characters in the final expanded keystroke sequence, being generated on a voice channel.

Claim 5

Logic circuitry for generating cellular telephone signals based on one or more characters prestored in one or more specified locations in a memory system, said logic circuitry comprising: repetitive expansion means for expanding a sequence of characters keyed in by a user into a final expanded character sequence; said sequence of characters comprising zero or more recall commands, each recall command specifying a particular location in said memory system; retrieval means means for retrieving any character contents of the particular location specified by any recall command; said repetitive expansion means expanding any character contents of the memory system at the particular location specified by any said recall command by substituting the contents of said location in place of the recall command.

Claim 6

Logic circuitry for generating cellular telephone signals based on one or more characters prestored in one or more specified locations in a memory system, said logic circuitry comprising: repetitive expansion means for expanding a sequence of characters keyed in by a user into a final expanded character sequence; said sequence of characters comprising zero or more recall commands, each recall command specifying a particular location in said memory system; retrieval means means for retrieving any character contents of the particular location specified by any recall command; said repetitive expansion means expanding any character contents of the memory system at the particular location specified by any said recall command by substituting the contents of said location in place of the recall command.
