1. A portable wireless communications device, comprising:
- a) a radio transmitter, said transmitter selectively transmitting user information and control messages to a network station;
b) a radio receiver, said receiver selectively receiving user information and control messages from said network station;
c) a read only memory (ROM) having therein both a control program in JAVA language and a JAVA interpreter program for said JAVA language;
d) a man-machine interface, said man-machine interface receiving input to the device from a user and providing output thereto;
e) a control processor controlling the operation of said transmitter and said receiver in response to said control messages according to said control program as interpreted by said interpreter program; and
f) wherein said man-machine interface operates under the control of said control processor according to said control program as interpreted by said interpreter program.

Abstract
A portable wireless communications device is largely controlled in its internal operation and in its interaction with the mobile phone network by a ROM-stored control program written in the JAVA language. The wireless communications device includes a transmitter and a receiver for communicating data via a wireless network control station via radiowaves, a man-machine interface (MMI) for displaying information to the human user and providing interaction with the human user, and a control processor for controlling interaction between the MMI, the operation of the transmitter, the operation of the receiver, and the wireless network station. The control processor is controlled by a stored control program comprising ROM-stored JAVA bytecodes that are interpretively executed by a ROM-stored JAVA interpreter.
