`CELLULAR PHONE/PDA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`[Para 1]
`This invention relates generally to an integrated communications
`system using a plurality of cellular PDA/GPS phones for the management of a group of
`people through the use of a communications net and, specifically, provide each user
`with a cellular phone that has features that permit all the users to know each other's
`locations and status, to rapidly call and communicate data among the users by
`touching display screen symbols and to enable the users to easily access data
`concerning other users and other database information.
`
`Description of Related Art
`
`[Para 2]
`The purpose of a communications system is to transmit information
`bearing signals from a source, located at one point, to a user destination, located at
`another point some distance away. A communications system is generally comprised
`of three basic elements: transmitter, information channel and receiver. One form of
`communication in recent years is cellular phone telephony. A network of
`communication cells set up around an area such as the United States allows multiple
`users to talk to each other, either on individual calls or on group calls. Some cellular
`phone services enable a cellular phone to engage in conference calls with a small
`number of users. Furthermore, cellular conference calls can be established through
`800 number services. Cellular telephony also now includes systems that include Global
`Positioning System (GPS) navigation that utilizes satellite navigation. These devices
`thus unite cellular phone cellular technology with navigation information and computer
`information transmission and receipt of data.
`[Para 3] Digital SMS (Smart Message Service) and TCP/IP messages can be
`transmitted using cellular technology such as the various versions of GSM and CDMA
`or via a WiFi local area network. One implementation of these GPS location reporting
`cellular systems is for the data to go to a central site where the information is
`displayed for a person to monitor the locations of the units that have the combined
`GPS cellular phone. Another implementation permits the cellular phone users to also
`view the location of other GPS equipped units. A drawback of the current
`implementation is that these systems are either all on or all off. There is no way to
`selectively activate participants or to stop the participants from participating in the
`
`Page 1 of 23
`
`0008
`
`Apple Inc.
`Exhibit 1011
`Page 008
`
`

`

`network Another drawback of the use of the current combined cellular phone PDA
`technology is that when using the PDA to display a map (that also may depict
`georeferenced businesses, homes and other facilities' locations and phone numbers),
`and the operator wants to place a call, the cellular phone/PDA operator is required to
`obtain the phone number by touching the display screen at the correct location of that
`entity on the map to obtain the phone number, then the operator has to memorize the
`phone number, then go to a different display to enter the phone number, to make the
`call and then, if desired, go back to the map display. Needless to say, this is a
`cumbersome process. Sending a text message to a location, business, home or
`facility that appears on a PDA map display to another cellular phone can also be a
`cumbersome process as the PDA operator has to find the phone number on the map
`display, memorize the phone number, then go to a different display to enter a text
`message, enter the text message, send the text message and then shift back to the
`map display program. Furthermore, for a phone to send data concerning a new entity
`of interest (car, person, tank, accident, or other entity) the operator must type in the
`information and the latitude and longitude of the entity.
`[Para 4]
`In spite of the rapid advance in cellular phone technology, it would
`also be desirable to actuate a remote cellular phone to annunciate an audio message
`to alert the remote user that there is an emergency (or for another reason) and that
`the calling cellular phone should be called immediately. Furthermore, it would be
`desirable to cause the remote phone to display a text message, photograph, video clip
`or video transmission, to announce the caller's name and to be able to control a
`remote phone and cause the remote phone to call another phone number (as an
`example, to automatically establish an 800 number conference call), to vibrate, or
`increase the loudness of an announcement without any action by the remote phone
`operator.
`[Para 5]
`The present software invention overcomes many of these problems
`shown in the prior art by providing a cellular phone /PDA/GPS user: a) the ability to
`selectively poll each of the other PDA I GPS phones to start reporting their positions
`and status information directly to all or selected users equipped with cellular
`phone/PDA communication/GPS system in the communications net so that each of the
`systems that the data is transmitted to is provided a display of the location, status and
`other information of the other users; b) the ability to exchange other entities of
`interest information and to assign these entities a category (car, person, tank,
`accident, or other entity) by touching the display screen at their locations on the map,
`and selecting the appropriate category switch; c) the ability to make rapid voice and
`data call initiation to locations, businesses, homes and facilities whose phone number
`is available in a georeferenced database including the cellular phone/PDA/GPS systems
`in a communications net by touching the display screen at the appropriate location on
`the PDA display and selecting a call switch; d) the ability to make rapid voice and data
`conference call initiation to locations, businesses, homes and facilities whose phone
`
`Page 2 of 23
`
`0009

`Apple Inc.
`Exhibit 1011
`Page 009
`
`

`

`number is available in a georeferenced database including the cellular phone/PDA/GPS
`systems in a communications net by touching the display screen at the appropriate
`locations on the PDA display and selecting a conference call switch; e) the ability to
`remotely control from one cellular phone/PDA/GPS any of the other cellular
`phone/PDA/GPS systems phones including the ability to control remote cellular phones
`to make verbal prerecorded announcements, place return calls, place calls to another
`phone number, vibrate, execute text to speech software, change sound intensity and
`process and display information by touching the display screen at their location on the
`PDA display and selecting the appropriate switch; and f) the ability to layer a sufficient
`number of switches or buttons on the PDA display to perform the above functions
`without overlaying the map.
`[Para 6]
`U.S. Patent Application No. 2003/0139150 published July 24, 2003
`shows a portable navigation and communication system. In one embodiment, the
`system combines within a single enclosure a GPS satellite positioning unit, mobile
`telephony using cellular phone technology and personal computing capable of wired or
`wireless internet or intranet access using a standard operating system. The purpose of
`this invention is to provide portable navigation for an individual. However, to operate
`the device, one still needs to utilize a keypad with the telephone functions. U.S.
`Patent Application No. 2003/0139150 described a wireless communication operating
`the PDA in a conventional manner. There is no provision for displaying the location of
`other similarly equipped systems. There is no provision to cause other similarly
`equipped cellular phone PDA users to transmit their location. There is no provision for
`entering other entities of interest by touching the display screen at their locations on a
`map. There is no provision for making a telephone call by touching the display screen
`at a net participant's symbol to initiate automatically the telephone call to that user or
`by touching multiple symbols to make conference calls. There is no provision for
`sending text messages, photographs or videos by touching the net participant(s)'
`symbol(s) on the display screen to automatically send text messages, photographs or
`videos to that participant or participants. There is no description or disclosure of a
`procedure to cause digital messages to be sent to a remote cellular phone that would
`cause the cellular phone to make verbal announcements, increase sound intensity,
`vibrate or to call back or to call another phone number. There is no description of the
`uses of layered soft switches which confine the switches to a particular vicinity of the
`PDA's display screen.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`A method and system employing cellular telephone communications
`[Para 7]
`to provide the location information to a group of geographically dispersed people, and
`to enable the rapid
`transmission of data concerning entities of interest to the
`members of the group and to coordinate the activities of the group through data and
`

`

`

`voice communications. Each of the cellular telephones includes a visual display with a
`touch screen, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver and navigation display, a
`CPU, memory, power supply, battery, microphone, speaker and commercially available
`software. To this is added: a) communications data and voice exchange software, b) a
`map database and a database of geographically referenced fixed locations including
`military bases, homes, businesses, government facilities, street locations and the like,
`each with a specified latitude and longitude, along with, if available, phone numbers
`that are associated with of each of these entities, c) another database with the
`constantly updated GPS location and status of all the software equipped cellular
`phone/PDA/GPS systems that are part of the communications net.
`[Para 8] Each cellular phone/PDA/GPS system is identified on the display of the
`other phone systems by a symbol that is generated to indicate its identity. The symbol
`is placed at the correct geographical location and is correlated with the map on the
`display. Each cellular phone/PDA/GPS System may enter other entities (locations of
`people, vehicles, buildings, facilities, and other entities) into its database. This
`information can be likewise transmitted to all the other participants on the
`communications net. The map, fixed entities, and cellular phone/PDA/GPS System
`communications net participants' latitude and longitude information is related to the
`display x, y display locations by a mathematical correlation algorithm.
`[Para 9] When the cellular phone/PDA/GPS System user uses his stylus or finger to
`touch one or more of the symbols or a location on the cellular phone display, the
`system's software causes the status and latitude and longitude information concerning
`that symbol or location to be displayed.
`[Para 10]
`To operate the present invention, the operator (''cellular phone one"
`or "phone one'') starts the system by selecting the software which causes: a) the
`cellular phone to initiate (if it has not already been activated), b) the GPS interface to
`be established, c) a map of the geographic area where the operator is located and
`operator's own unit symbol to appear at the correct latitude and longitude on the map,
`d) the locations of people, vehicles, buildings, and the like that are part of the
`database appear as symbols on the map, e) the system selected item read out area
`(which provides amplification information for the communications net participant or
`object that has been touched on the display screen) to appear on the display, f) an
`insert area that contains various varying data including: the list of net participants, a
`list of messages to be read, an indication of what portion of the map is being displayed
`in major area and other information to appear on the display, and g) a row of primary
`software created "soft switches" that are always present on the display. One of these
`soft switches when touched causes a matrix of software driven layered switches (soft
`switches) to appear on the display in place of the readout and insert areas. Some of
`these soft switches, when touched, cause the system's functions to occur. Other soft
`switches cause yet another layer of soft switches to appear, replacing those that were
`previously displayed. The operator is provided an indication of where the operator is in

`

`the layer of switches, and is able to return to the previous layer or to cause the
`layered switches to disappear and only the basic switches to remain. The operator
`can also use the phone's hardware pointing device (Navigation Pad) to control the soft
`switches. By using these soft switches, and hard switches that are part of the cellular
`phone, the operator can activate different maps, change map scales, select which fixed
`entities are desired to be displayed, display the information concerning the symbol the
`operator has touched, initiate phone voice calls, send messages (text, photographs
`and videos), enter symbols and information representative of other entities, view the
`locations and statuses of the other communications net participants, establish
`conference calls, pre-establish conference sub-nets that, when activated, cause all the
`phone numbers that are specified to be conferenced for voice, text and photograph
`and video communications, and transmit messages to remote phones which cause the
`remote phones to make calls, verbal announcements, vibrate, increase sound levels
`and other functions. To initialize the communications net, the cellular phone one
`operator selects, from a list, the other users (or all of them), that the operator desires
`to be part of the communications net. The system then polls the selected phones to
`activate and become part of the communications net. The selected phones then
`transmit their positions to all the other phones in the established net. Through
`interaction with one or more other software enabled cellular phones, symbols are
`generated on the operators' displays based on the participants' latitude and longitude
`that is exchanged between the cellular phones. The transmission of this information is
`based on an algorithm that considers time and or movement or upon a polling request.
`Each of the communication net symbols on the display represent a different cellular
`phone remote from cellular phone one. Each of the cellular phones has the phone
`numbers of all the phones in the communications net in its database. Each of the
`phones also has in its database the pre-established phone numbers for the fixed
`locations: people, buildings, facilities, military bases, and other desired locations that
`can be called in its database. The touch screen provided with the LCD display in the
`cellular phone includes x, y coordinates that are correlated with the map on the
`cellular phone display and the geographic location of the fixed sites and the cellular
`phones in the communications net. Each cellular phone can enter objects of interest
`by touching the display screen at the object's location on the display screen map. The
`operator can then assign these objects a category (car, person, tank, accident, or
`other category). The latitude and longitude of these objects along with their category
`and other information is then sent on the communications network. Because each of
`the receiving telephone units has software that automatically converts the received
`data to the correct map location, the transmitted symbols appear at the correct
`location without operator intervention and their category information is available by
`touching the symbol on the display screen.
`Each cellular phone I PDA/ GPS has the communications hardware
`[Para 11]
`along with the circuitry in software to initiate a voice telephone call or transmit data
`messages, photographs, or videos by touching the screen with a stylus or finger at the

`

`symbol location displayed on the screen of the desired phone to be called and then
`selecting the "call" software switch on the display touch screen. The software will then
`cause the cellular phone to call to the specific phone number represented by the
`symbol on the screen. This is done automatically. This action alleviates completely
`the necessity of actually looking up a phone number and manually entering the phone
`numbers required to make a cellular phone call.
`[Para 12] A further benefit of the present invention is that more than one symbol can
`be specified to receive a cellular phone voice call and or data call, thus automatically
`conferencing them. The operator of the cellular phone can conference a small number
`of phones by touching the display screen locations of the communications net
`participant symbols that the operator wishes to conference by selecting a "conference"
`soft switch. This action will then cause the selected units to be conferenced together.
`The conference call can be expanded to a greater number of users by providing
`additional software that would conference phones by sending a digital message to the
`remote cellular phones from the operator cellular phone causing each of the remote
`cellular phones to dial a specified 800 conference call number and enter each
`individual phone participant code. The originator phone calls the same number and
`automatically enters the originator host code. Once all the phones have dialed the 800
`number and entered their appropriate participant and host numbers, the conference
`call will be established. Furthermore, the operator of cellular phone one can pre(cid:173)
`establish conference nets for voice and data exchange by either selecting them from a
`list or a table or by touching the display screen locations of the communication net
`participant symbols that the operator wishes to conference and selecting a "conference
`net" soft switch. Once the operator has done that, the software associates those
`communication net participants as being part of an established conference net. When
`the cellular phone operator chooses to call all the net participants, all the operator has
`to do is to select the designated software switch for that net to conference the pre(cid:173)
`selected conference participants together. That action will then place a call to all the
`conferences without further action. This method of conference calling can be also
`used to send text messages, photographs and videos.
`[Para 13] Another embodiment of the invention can include a unique feature in which
`cellular phone one can send a digital message using SMS, TCP/IP or another protocol
`to another cellular phone on the communications net by touching a display screen
`symbol on the geographical screen and then selecting the appropriate software switch
`to transmit a digital message that would then remotely activate a program in the
`remote cellular phone to play a recorded audio file to announce an emergency and
`that a call to cellular phone one is required immediately. Since each of the remote
`cellular phones has the same software as cellular phone one and includes a PDA and
`the ability to receive digital messages, the ability to control remote cellular phones to
`make verbal announcements, display images, place return calls, place calls to another

`

`phone number, vibrate, change sound intensity and process and display pre-stored
`data, images and video can be achieved.
`[Para 14]
`In accordance with the present invention, a multiple cellular phone
`communication network is set up using the invention. Each cellular phone contains the
`same software and circuitry that includes cellular phone technology, GPS navigation
`technology, and a PDA for displaying maps, georeferenced symbols, and data
`concerning symbols of interest and software created soft switches, transmitting and
`receiving digital SMS, TCP/IP and other protocol messages. To establish each other's
`communication net IP addresses, the cellular phones first exchange SMS messages (or
`use another method) that identifies their IP addresses. Each phone then transmits to
`all others its location and status in accordance with an established algorithm that is
`based on time and or movement. Each cellular phone is also able to poll the other
`cellular phones to transmit their locations. Each user is able to transmit to all the other
`users: text messages, photographs and videos. Using the present invention, a cellular
`telephone network can be set up in which all of the parties in the network have almost
`automatic and instant access to and status of any and all other parties in the network
`by touching the display screen symbol of the party he desires to initiate voice and data
`calls, thus, instantly activating the calls. This is an immense time saver in dealing with
`a cellular phone network for all the parties combined.
`[Para 15]
`It is an object of this invention to provide an improved cellular
`telephone communication network among a plurality of cellular phones for greatly
`increasing the call up and initiation speed of each of the cellular phones with each
`other.
`[Para 16]
`And yet another object of this invention is to enable each participant
`to automatically exchange IP addresses using SMS or another digital message format.
`[Para 17]
`And yet another object of this invention is to enable each participant
`in the communications net to poll the other net participants to report or cease
`reporting their locations and status on the communication net.
`[Para 18]
`And yet another object of this invention is to enable each participant
`in the communications net to be able to easily transmit entities of interest to the other
`participants of the net by touching the display at the entities' location on the map and
`causing a symbol to be entered and then entering the entities' category information.
`[Para 19]
`And yet another object of this invention is to provide for initiating a
`cellular phone telephone call to another phone by touching the other phone's symbol
`on the screen of the cellular phone, which automatically activates the telephone call.
`[Para 20]
`And yet another object of this invention is to provide a cellular phone
`network that provides for instant conference calling among a plurality of cellular
`phones by touching the screen of specific symbols for initiating the calls.
