Claim Text:
1. A communication and tracking system comprising: a location module, a communication module, and a logic module; wherein the communication and tracking system is adapted for use with a pet; wherein the communication and tracking system is adapted to send and receive wireless messages; wherein a collar is adapted to be worn around a neck of the pet; wherein the collar includes a buckle that fastens distal ends of the collar thereby forming a loop that is adapted to encircle the neck of the pet; wherein the buckle includes a housing that includes the location module, communication module, and the logic module therein; wherein the communication and tracking system is adapted to track the location of the pet; wherein the communication and tracking system issues a previously specified wireless message when the pet leaves a predetermined safe zone; wherein the communication and tracking system is able to receive wireless messages; wherein upon receipt of a wireless message, the communication and tracking system delivers an audible audio message to the pet; wherein the location module determines the location of the pet; wherein the logic module further comprises a microcontroller, a speaker, and a storage device; wherein the logic module monitors the location of the communication and tracking system; wherein the logic module compares the location of the communication and tracking system to the predetermined safe zone; wherein the logic module initiates outbound communication through the communication module; wherein the logic module receives inbound communication from the communication module; wherein the logic module, based on received inbound communications, selects a prerecorded audible audio message; wherein the logic module plays the prerecorded audible audio message through the speaker; wherein the logic module stores a plurality of prerecorded audible audio messages in the storage device; wherein the predetermined safe zone is based on a previously determined single given location; wherein the logic module initiates the previously specified wireless message when the communication and tracking system is greater than a predetermined distance from the single given location.
