Patent ID: 7065446

Claim:
An apparatus for communication to a network through a plurality of different external wireless data comprising: a communication component for uninterrupted communication to the network, the communication component comprising a plurality of wireless modems, each modem communicating with different ones of the external wireless data networks; a plurality of objects; a location circuit installed in each object which detects variable location information of the corresponding object in real-time; a processor with memory installed in each object coupled to the location circuit, which processor receives the variable location information and activates responsive functions according to the corresponding object's current location and which processor stores a plurality of historical events of the corresponding object in a history file, of which at least some events are correlated with responsive functions automatically undertaken with respect to the corresponding object, the history file including events related solely to the location of the object without relationship to other ones of the plurality of objects, the history file being communicated to a network communication server connected to the network for processing the history file for data analysis or for selective intelligent action by the network communication server including communication by the network communication server outside the network; and a communication circuit coupled to the communication component and installed in each object coupled to the processor in the same object to transmit without interruption by means of modem selection based on signal characteristics and to receive messages without interruption with the network communication server within the network and directly between other ones of the plurality of objects, wherein the processor corresponding to a first object automatically activates selected functions controlling the first object in response to the variable location of a second object by means of communication without interruption through the network communication server or directly with the second object through one or more of the plurality of different external wireless data networks.
