Abstract

A flexible mobile telephone management system utilizes a mobile telephone that includes a mobile handset, with electronics implementing a wireless communications terminal function, and an embedded micro-controller system including memory and a firmware program. The firmware program implements a plurality of executable call management routines that can generate and store data descriptive of the operation of the mobile telephone. The micro-controller is coupleable to a host computer system for the exchange of the descriptive data and mobile telephone configuration data. The host computer system provides the configuration data to select a predetermined one of the executable call management routines for execution by the micro-controller and to, in turn, provide the descriptive data. Further, the configuration data may be specified by the host computer system to selectively enable a set of two or more of the executable call management routines for execution by the micro-controller. In addition, the configuration data may be used to qualify the execution of the call management routines and to determine, at least in part, the content of the descriptive data collected by the micro-controller system. The configuration data may also contain a predetermined collection of data that is then available for reference in the execution of the executable call management routines.
