Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
193 words
A receiver for decoding signals transmitted in accordance with one of a plurality of different encoding formats, comprising: a communication receiver for detecting encoded signals transmitted over a communication channel; a data sampler, coupled to said receiver to process said detected encoded signals in accordance with any one of a plurality of information decoding formats to provided decoded signals; coding format selection means, coupled to said data sampler, and including identification means responsive to predetermined characteristics of said detected encoded signals for identifying the format used to encode the encoded signals, said selection means automatically selecting, in response to said identification means, which of said plurality of information decoding formats will be utilized for processing said detected encoded signal; a memory coupled to said code format selection means containing predetermined characteristics of decode signals corresponding to at least some of said plurality of information encoding formats; and comparison means, coupled to said data sampler and said memory, for determining if said decoded signals correlate to said predetermined characteristics of decode signals for the selected information decoding format, and for producing a control, if said signals correlate, to indicate the reception of a message.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
193 words
A receiver for decoding signals transmitted in accordance with one of a plurality of different encoding formats, comprising: a communication receiver for detecting encoded signals transmitted over a communication channel; a data sampler, coupled to said receiver to process said detected encoded signals in accordance with any one of a plurality of information decoding formats to provided decoded signals; coding format selection means, coupled to said data sampler, and including identification means responsive to predetermined characteristics of said detected encoded signals for identifying the format used to encode the encoded signals, said selection means automatically selecting, in response to said identification means, which of said plurality of information decoding formats will be utilized for processing said detected encoded signal; a memory coupled to said code format selection means containing predetermined characteristics of decode signals corresponding to at least some of said plurality of information encoding formats; and comparison means, coupled to said data sampler and said memory, for determining if said decoded signals correlate to said predetermined characteristics of decode signals for the selected information decoding format, and for producing a control, if said signals correlate, to indicate the reception of a message.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
109 words
A method for receiving for decoding signals transmitted in accordance with one of a plurality of different encoding formats, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting encoded signals transmitted over a communication channel; (b) sampling and processing said detected encoded signals in accordance with any one of a plurality of information decoding formats corresponding to said plurality of information encoding formats; (c) selecting, automatically, a particular decoding format for processing of said detected encoded signals by identifying predetermined characteristics of the encoding format of detected encoded signals and correlating the same to predetermined characteristics of decoded signals stored in a code memory; (d) producing a control if said signals correlate.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
109 words
A method for receiving for decoding signals transmitted in accordance with one of a plurality of different encoding formats, comprising the steps of: (a) detecting encoded signals transmitted over a communication channel; (b) sampling and processing said detected encoded signals in accordance with any one of a plurality of information decoding formats corresponding to said plurality of information encoding formats; (c) selecting, automatically, a particular decoding format for processing of said detected encoded signals by identifying predetermined characteristics of the encoding format of detected encoded signals and correlating the same to predetermined characteristics of decoded signals stored in a code memory; (d) producing a control if said signals correlate.
