`
`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A method and system includes the ability for individuals to
`set up an ad hocdigital and voice networkeasily and rapidly
`to allow users to coordinate their activities by eliminating
`the need for pre-entry ofdata into a web or identifying others
`by name, phone numbers or email. This methodis especially
`useful for police, fire fighters, military, first responders or
`other emergency situations for coordinating different orga-
`nizations at the scene of a disaster to elevate conventional
`communication problems either up and down the chain of
`command or cross communication between different emer-
`
`gency units. The method and system provides that the users
`are only required to enter a specific Server IP address and an
`ad hoc event name, a password and perhaps the nameofthe
`particular unit.
