Patent ID: 7394347

Claim:
An operating control system for cell phones, said control system being internal to said cell phone and having: a. an activation/deactivation member; b. at least three user programmable modes; c. at least two user access codes, at least one of said at least two user access codes being a primary user code to program parameters by said primary user for each said at least three user programmable modes and at least one other of said at least two user access codes being a secondary code that enables secondary user access only to said at least three user programmable modes based upon said program parameters, programmed by said primary user code; d. a primary user programmable mode selection member, said primary user programmable mode selection member enabling said at least three user programmable modes to be selected and programmed by a primary user for user by each of said at least one secondary user; e. multiple user programmable activation periods, each of said multiple user programmable activation periods being programmablyset by a user for each of said at least three user programmable modes; f. an activate programming mode, said activate programming mode accessible with said primary user access code for programming said parameters, including activation period, for said at least three programmable modes; g. input means, said input means to receive said user access codes, said programmable mode selection and said programmable mode activation period; h. an internal control member, said control member being in direct communication with said input means, said programmable feature activation period and said programmable feature selection member; i. a use mode, said use mode being activated by entry of said secondary code and enables use by a secondary user of said multiple user programmable modes based upon said parameters; wherein said internal control member controls operation of said cell phone based upon said parameters in said at least three user programmable modes for each of said multiple user access codes.
