SUBJECT SPECIALITY: Automation theory and engineeringTHESIS TITLE:The Research and Development of One Kind of Intelligent PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)MASTER: Haibo LuTUTOR: Professor Bingchao LvPDA is the abbreviation of Personal Digital Assistant. We usually call it as "Palm Computer" Recently the technology about PDA has been developing rapidly. Such kind of hand-held equipment includes a lot of functions such as computing, fax, network and so on. They can be used as not only personal message managers, but also Internet browsers through whom faxes and e-mails can be sent out or received. Above all, these functions are achieved by wireless modes. Of course, not all PDAs have these functions above-mentioned. Even if they possess them, maybe these functions cannot be realized because lack of the corresponding services. But we can anticipate PDA's developing tide and trend is the blend of computing, communication, network, store, entertainment and electric commerce functionsThis paper includes PDA's developing career, some current technology focuses and it's developing direction, and then particularly contains the total design thought about the intelligent PDA whose development the author took a part in, which includes some hardware circuits and software procedures.
