`
`LISTING OF THE CLAIMS
`
`1. (Currently Amended) A programmable communicator device comprising:
`
`a programmable interface for establishing a communication link with at least one
`
`monitored technical device; and
`
`a processing module for authenticating one or more wireless transmissions sent
`
`from a pro gramming transmitter and received by the pro grammable communicator device
`
`by determining if at least one transmission contains a coded number;
`
`wherein the programmable communicator device is configured to use a memory
`
`to store at least one intemet protocol (IP) address included within at
`
`least one of the one or more transmissions as one or more storedta IP
`
`addresses if the processing module authenticates the at least one of the one or more
`
`transmissions including the at least one IP address and the coded
`
`number by determining that the at least one of the one or more transmissions includes the
`
`coded number, the one or more storedta IP addresses being addresses
`
`numbers to which the pro grammable communicator device is configured to and permitted
`
`to send outgoing wireless transmissions;
`
`wherein the programmable communicator device is configured to use an identity
`
`module for storing a unique identifier that is unique to the pro grammable communicator
`
`device;
`
`wherein the programmable communicator device is configured to process data
`
`received through the pro grammable interface from the at least one monitored technical
`
`device in response to programming instructions received in an incoming wireless packet
`
`switched data message;
`
`wherein the programmable communicator is configured to send the processed data
`
`by General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), or other wireless packet switched data
`
`message; and
`

`
`REMARKS
`
`Applicant greatly appreciates the Examiner’s Notice of Allowance. Claim 1 is
`
`being amended to remove the phrase “telephone number.” This amendment narrows the
`
`claims by limiting the claim to receiving transmissions containing IP addresses, and
`
`storing IP addresses (e. g., as opposed to telephone numbers or IP addresses). This
`
`amendment also more accurately depicts the claimed subject matter. No new matter has
`
`been added.
`
`Applicant does not believe that any extension of time is required. However, if an
`
`extension of time is required, please charge the associated fee and any additional fees
`
`required by this paper or credit any overpayment to deposit account number 19-4972.
`
`Applicant also requests that the examiner Contact applicant’s attorney, Jonathan Lovely,
`
`if it will assist in processing this application through issuance.
