`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`FOR INTERACTIVE REMOTE
`
`COMMUNICATIONS
`
`This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent
`application Ser. No. 11/612,830 filed on Dec. 19, 2006 which
`is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No.
`11/308,648 filedApr. 17, 2006 which 1s a continuation-in-part
`of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/711,490 now U.S. Pat.

`
`Applicant’s communication system and method described
`herein 1s embodied in the forced alert software developed by
`applicant and installed in the PCs and PDA/cell phones used
`herein.
`A plurality ofPCs and PDA/cell phones each having forced
`alert software installed providing a communication network
`of PCs and PDA/cell phones with the ability to: a) allow an
`operator to create and transmit (via TCP/IP or another digital
`transmission means) a forced voice alert, wherein said forced

`FIG. 2 shows the installation and set up of the forced
`messagealert software on a communication network ofcell
`phones, integrated PDA/cell phones, and PCs.
`FIG. 3A showsthe first section of a flow chart showing a
`process of sending a forced message alert to one or more
`recipients as well as
`for ascertaining which recipients
`received the forced message alert and which recipients
`responded to the forced messagealert.
`FIG. 3B showsthe second section of a flow chart showing,
`a process of sending a forced message alert to one or more
`recipients as well as
`for ascertaining which recipients
`

`
`The serveralso acts as a forwarderof data addressed from
`one participant to one or more addressed participants, thus
`permitting the transmission of forced messagealerts, other
`text and voice messages, photographs, video, E-mail and
`URL data from one network participant to other selected
`network participants.
`The above functions can also be accomplished using Wi1F1,
`WiMax,or other peer to peer communications. However, for
`use with cellular communications and to assure the level of
`security that cell phone companies require, a centralized
`static IP routable server is used.

`screen with a stylus 14 (or finger) at the switches’ 16d loca-
`tions. When some of the software switches are activated,
`different software switches appear. The bar display 16d
`shows the software switches “ZM IN (zoom 1n),” “ZM OT
`(zoom out),” “CENT (center)’ and “GRAB (pan/graby’at the
`bottom of the screen. These software switches enable the
`operator to perform these functions. The “SWITH (switch)”’
`software switch at the lower right causes a matrix of layered
`sottware switches (soft switches) to appear above the bottom
`row of switches. Through use of the software switches, the
`operator can also manipulate the geographical map 166 or
`
`6
`Equally important, an operator/user with a PDA/cell phone
`call the police station or any other specific geographical facil-
`ity displayed on the cell display map, including: buildings,
`locations of people, vehicles, facilities, restaurants, and the
`like, whose PDA/cell phone numbersand, if available, E-nail
`addresses, IP addresses and their URLsare previously stored
`in the database, by touching a specific facility location on the
`map display using the stylus 14 and then touching the cellular
`phonecall switch. As an example, the operator/user can touch
`and point to call a restaurant using a soft switch by touching
`the restaurant location on the display with a stylus and then

`which could include: making cellular phone calls, conference
`calls, 800 number calls; sending a free text message, operator
`selected preformatted messages, photographsor videos to the
`hooked symbol; or to drop a entered symbol.
`Each knownnetparticipant has a PDA/cell phone number,
`IP address and, if available, E-mail address that is stored in
`each participant’s device database.
`Referring now to FIG. 2, in order to set up a communica-
`tion network that utilizes the forced message alert system, the
`forced message alert software application program must be
`installed on a plurality of PCs and/or PDA/cell phones. The
`

`Then, the sender PC or PDA/cell phone provides an indica-
`tion of which of the PC or PDA/cell phone that the forced
`message alert was sent to have acknowledged receipt and
`which of the PC or PDA/cell phone that the forced message
`alert was sent to have not acknowledgedrecerpt on its display.
`The sender PC or PDA/cell phone will then periodically
`resend the forced message alert to the PC or PDA/cell phone
`that have not acknowledgedreceipt.
`The sender PC or PDA/cell phone also monitors for and
`receives electronic transmissions with manual responses to
`the forced message alert from the PC or PDA/cell phonethat

`a predetermined network ofparticipants, wherein each par-
`ticipant has a similarly equipped PDA/cell phone that
`includes a CPU and a touch screen display a CPU and
`memory;
`a data transmission meansthat facilitates the transmission
`of electronic files between said PDA/cell phones in dif-
`ferent locations;
`a sender PDA/cell phone and at least one recipient PDA/
`cell phone for each electronic message;
`a forced message alert software application program
`including a list of required possible responses to be

`sage alert software application program.
`5S. The system as in claim 1, wherein the response list that
`is transmitted within the forced messagealert software packet
`is acustom responselist that 1s created at the time the specific
`forced messagealert is created on the sender PDA/cell phone.
`6. A method of sending a forced messagealert to one or
`more recipient PDA/cell phones within a predetermined com-
`munication network, wherein the receipt and responseto said
`forced message alert by each intended recipient PDA/cell
`phone is tracked, said method comprising the steps of:

`transmitting an automatic acknowledgment of receipt to
`the sender PDA/cell phone, which triggers the forced
`message alert software application program to take con-
`trol of the recipient PDA/cell phone and show the con-
`tent of the text message and a required response list on
`the display recipient PDA/cell phoneor to repeat audibly
`the content of the voice message on the speakers of the
`recipient PDA/cell phone and show the required
`response list on the display recipient PDA/cell phone;

`that transmitted the response on the senderof the forced
`alert PDA/cell phone; and

`automatically acknowledged receipt of a forced alert
`message and their responseto the forced alert message.

`phone within a predetermined communication network 1s
`similarly equipped and has the forced messagealert software
`application program loaded on itt.
