`CLAIMS:
`
`13. In a mobile communication system, a method for dynamically configuring a mobile
`communication device for one or more selected functions comprising:
`
`utilizing a mobile device configured with input, output and or display capabilities for communication
`of voice and data,
`
`utilizing a central server,
`
`communicating between a mobile device and a central server by wired or wireless means utilizing one
`or more communication methods and communication protocols,
`
`configuring the mobile device for a selected first set of functions including communication,
`computation, command, sense and control for a selected first utility to the mobile device user;
`
`establishing one or more functional instructions for dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile device
`from a first set of functions to a second set of functions;
`
`storing functional instructions for executing said dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile device from a
`first set of functions to a second set of functions within the mobile device, the central server including
`a combination of the mobile device and the central server; further including
`
`storing said functional instruction sets in databases and lookup tables within the mobile device and or
`the central server for ease and efficiency of execution from a first set of functions to one or more
`selected second set of functions of the mobile device;
`
`selecting a functional instruction set for a selected reconfiguration of the mobile device from a first set
`of functions to a selected second set of functions in a standalone manner utilizing the mobile device
`and or in conjunction with utilizing the central server;
`
`accessing one or more said selected partial or full functional instructions or a set of functional
`instructions from storage, databases and lookup tables contained within the mobile device itself and/or
`accessing said selected partial or full functional instructions or a set of functional instructions from
`storage, databases and lookup tables contained within a central server by wired or wireless
`communication means;
`
`executing the dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile device from use with a first set of functions to
`for use with a second set of functions utilizing the processing, storage and database capabilities of the
`mobile device in a standalone manner and or in conjunction with the processing, storage and database
`capabilities of a central server, a local server, a network server or a combination thereof;
`
`reconfiguring the mobile device for the selected first set of functions, second set of functions and one
`or more other set of functions, to provide one or more selected second utility(s) to the mobile device
`user dynamically in real time or at the selected time.

`

`14. A dynamically reconfigurable mobile communication system, including a mobile communication
`device for performing selected functions comprising:
`
`a mobile device configured with input, output and or display capabilities for communication of voice
`and data,
`
`a central server,
`
`means for communication between a mobile device and a central server by wired or wireless means,
`
`means for configuring the mobile device for a selected first set of functions including communication,
`computation, command, sense and control for a selected first utility to the mobile device user;
`
`means for establishing one or more functional instructions for dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile
`device from a first set of functions to a second set of functions;
`
`means for storing functional instructions for executing said dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile
`device from a first set of functions to a second set of functions within the mobile device, the central
`server including a combination of the mobile device and the central server; including
`
`means for storing said functional instruction sets in databases and lookup tables within the mobile
`device and or the central server for ease and efficiency of execution from a first set of functions to one
`or more selected second set of functions of the mobile device;
`
`means for selecting a functional instruction set for a selected reconfiguration of the mobile device
`from a first set of functions to a selected second set of functions in a standalone manner utilizing the
`mobile device and or in conjunction with utilizing the central server;
`
`means for accessing one or more said selected partial or full functional instructions or a set of
`functional instructions from storage, databases and lookup tables contained within the mobile device
`itself and/or accessing said selected partial or full functional instructions or a set of functional
`instructions from storage, databases and lookup tables contained within a central server by wired or
`wireless communication means;
`
`means for executing the dynamic reconfiguration of the mobile device from use with a first set of
`functions to for use with a second set of functions utilizing the processing, storage and database
`capabilities of the mobile device in a standalone manner and or in conjunction with the processing,
`storage and database capabilities of a central server, a local server, a network server or a combination
`thereof; including
`
`means for reconfiguring the mobile device for the selected first set of functions and or a first set of
`utility, second set of functions and or a second utility and one or more other set of functions and
`utility(s), to provide one or more desirable functions and utility(s) to the mobile device user
`dynamically in real time or at the selected time.
