Abstract:
1. A method of providing a cellular phone communication network for designated participating users, each user having a similarly equipped PDA/cell phone that includes a CPU, a GPS navigational system and a touch screen display: establishing rapid voice call initiation and communication among the users of the cellular phone/PDA/GPS network system using a touch screen; establishing within each cellular/PDA/GPS phone a software application program and database that permits each cell phone user to continuously know each other's geographical location and status which is displayed on the display touch screen of each cell phone; displaying on each cell phone display one or more symbols representing the other users in the network having similarly equipped cell phones that transmit their geographical location upon request, time, distance traveled, or other criteria to the other users in the network periodically so that each cell phone user has a touch display with symbols representing the other users in the network geographically; displaying a plurality of soft switches on each touch screen display of each cell phone in the user network that includes initiating a rapid voice call to any other user in the network through touching said first voice call switch after hooking a specific symbol or symbols that automatically calls the symbol(s) touched at the location(s), said database in each of said cell phone including the data link received, operator loaded or pre-loaded cell phone telephone number of each of the users and the phone numbers, URLs and E-mail addresses of fixed sites displayed in the network geographically and symbolically; establishing a remote server for communicating with each cell phone; transmitting and receiving messages including: voice, text photographs and video among all of the users in the network having a similarly equipped cell phone/PDA unit that includes messaging software; establishing within each user's own cell phone a software program and soft switch display to preclude the detection of its use or its use by unauthorized users; using a soft switch and the software accessed by said soft switch for turning off the transmitter of the user's own cell phone to prevent transmission of data and thereby deny the ability for non-authorized persons to detect the location of the network participant; using a soft switch and the software accessed by the soft switch for destroying the display software of the user's own cell phone thus precluding non-authorized personnel from seeing the location of the other network participants while permitting continued tracking of the phone's location and optionally turning off the phone's speaker and turning on the phone's microphone so that conversations of personnel in the vicinity of the phone can be heard; and using a soft switch and the software accessed by the soft switch that causes destruction of the user's own cell phone message received location processing and display software thus precluding its use by others and optionally turning off its speaker and on its microphone so that the conversations of personnel in the vicinity can be heard.
