`ABSTRACT
`
`A cellular, PDA communication device and communication
`system for allowing a plurality of cellular phone users to
`monitor each others’ locations and status, to initiate cellular
`phone calls by touching a symbol on the touch screen display
`w1tha stylus wh1ch can also 1nclude po1nt to call conferenc1ng
`calling. Each participant’s cellular phone PDA device
`includes GPS navigation receiverwith application software
`for po1nt to call cellular phone 1n1t1at1on to pa1t1c1pants and
`geographical entities including vehicles, persons or events,
`conference calls and video transfers. The method and system
`also includes automatic shifting from GPRS/EDGE/CDMA/
`1XEVDO to SMS when any of the cellular phones in the
`communication network is in the voice mode and in use and
`for automatic Shifting back to GPRS/EDGE/CDMA/IXE-
`VDO upon completion of the voice phone call. In addition,
`using the system, a full transfer of photographs, video clips
`and high speed data can be used between any cellular phones
`regardless of who the cellular phone vendors or cellular
`phone companies are and in either CDMA, GSM, WiFi or a
`combination of the two.

`METHOD OF PROVIDING A CELLULAR
`PHONE/PDA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`This invention relates generally to an integrated commu-
`nications system using a plurality of cellular/PDA/GPS
`phones for the management of a group of people through the
`use ofa communications net and, specifically, to provide each
`user with a cellular/PDA/GPS/phone that has software appli-
`cation programs and databases that permit all the users to
`continuously know each other’s locations and status, to rap-
`idly call and communicate voice, high speed intemet data,
`photographs and video clips among the users by touching
`display screen symbols and to enable the users to easily
`access data concerning other users and other database infor-
`mation.
`
`DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
`
`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 com-
`prised ofthree basic elements: transmitter, information chan-
`nel and receiver. One form of communication in recent years
`is cellular phone telephony. A network of cellular communi-
`cation systems setup 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 tele-
`phony also now includes systems that include Global Posi-
`tioning System (GPS) navigation that utilizes satellite navi-
`gation. These devices thus unite cellular phone technology
`with navigation information, computer information transmis-
`sion and receipt of data.
`Digital Smart Message Service (SMS) and TCP/IP mes-
`sages can be transmitted using cellular technology such as
`various versions of GSM and CDMA or via a WiFi local area
`
`network. One implementation of these GPS location report-
`ing cellular systems is for the data to go to a remote central site
`where the information is displayed for a person to monitor the
`locations of the cellular units that have the combined cellular
`
`GPS 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 selec-
`tively activate participants or to stop the participants from
`participating in the network or for participants to set their
`reporting intervals that is based on time or distance traveled.
`The use of the current combined cellular phone/PDA tech-
`nology has drawbacks when calling. When an operator makes
`a cellular phone call using the PDA to display a map (that also
`may depict geo-referenced businesses, homes and other
`facilities’ locations and phone numbers), the cellular phone/
`PDA operator is required to display the numeric phone num-
`ber by touching the display screen at the correct location of
`that entity on the map, memorize the numeric phone number,
`and select a different display to physically 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 or an email to a location, business,
`home or facility that appears on a PDA map display or to
`another cellular phone can also be a cumbersome process as
`the PDA operator has to find the phone number or email

`
`address of the location on the map display, memorize the
`phone number or email address, 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, not currently on the geo-referenced map display
`(car, person, tank, accident, or other entity), the operator must
`type in the information and the latitude and longitude of the
`new entity of interest.
`US. Patent Application No. 2003/0139150 published Jul.
`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 tele-
`phony using cellular phone technology and personal comput-
`ing capable of wired or wireless internet or intranet access
`using a standard operating system. The purpose ofthis inven-
`tion is to provide portable navigation for an individual. How-
`ever, to operate the device, one still needs to utilize a keypad
`with the telephone functions. US. Patent Application No.
`2003/0139150 described a wireless communication system
`operating the FDA in a conventional manner. There is no
`provision for displaying the location of other similarly
`equipped systems. There is no provision to cause other simi-
`larly equipped cellular phone/PDA users to transmit their
`locations. 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 or
`entered facility (police station, fire station, etc.) 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 vid-
`eos by touching the net participant(s)’ symbol(s) on the dis-
`play screen to automatically send text messages, photographs
`or videos to that participant or participants. There is no pro-
`vision to go to a facility’s web site or to automatically fill in a
`facility’s E-mail address. There is no description or disclo-
`sure 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 plurality of cellular phone/WiFi/PDA/GPS devices each
`having application software and databases to provide a com-
`munication network having: a) the ability to selectively poll
`each of the other FDA/GPS phone devices with each partici-
`pant to start reporting its position and status information
`directly to all or selected users equipped with the same cel-
`lular phone/PDA communication/GPS devices in the com-
`munications net so that each of the devices that the data is
`
`transmitted to is provided a display ofthe location, status and
`other information of the other users; b) the ability of each of
`the cellular phone/PDA devices to report to another device at
`an operator selected time rate or at a rate based on distance
`traveled; c) the ability to exchange other entities’ of interest
`information and to assign these entities a category (car, per-
`son, tank, accident, or other event) by touching the display
`screen at the entity’s location on the displayed map, and
`selecting the appropriate category switch; d) the ability to
`make rapid voice and data call initiation to any other partici-
`pant in the cellular phone/WiFi net whose phone number is
`available in a geo-referenced database including the cellular
`
