Connection procedure for data communications devices with multiple connection attempts
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973807B1) discloses a method for a communication device in a system with a communications facility. The method involves comparing connection information to a data table of known destination addresses, determining whether to establish communications based on status signals, and transmitting connection information for a second connection request. The system includes a communications facility interface circuit that maintains the data table of known destination addresses, and the method further includes receiving user input data, comparing it to known destination addresses, and establishing communications based on a match found by a logic circuit.
Additionally, the method involves collecting user input data representing digits, providing a reference for each input, and transmitting connection information based on a timer. The method also includes generating and transmitting a request for a new connection if a connection is not established, and allowing the user to input additional digits to complete the identifier signals. The patent covers various aspects of the method, including the use of timers, logic circuits, and user input data to facilitate efficient communication between devices in the system.
