A network-based wireless telephone communication device is proposed, which
can be either an independent device or integrated to a portable
information platform, and which is capable of providing an interactive
multi-person voice communication session for the user to talk with one or
more other persons via voice over a network system, such as the Internet,
through a wireless network interface. The proposed network-based wireless
telephone communication device is more advantageous to use than prior art
in that it utilizes the Internet for voice data transmission and
therefore is significantly more economical to use than mobile phone.
Moreover, since the proposed network-based wireless telephone
communication device can be either an independent device or integrated to
a portable information platform, such as mobile phone, electronic
dictionary, PDA, or the like, it has a higher level of portability than
notebook computer with wireless linking capability.
