Abstract
An electromagnetic signal detector that interfaces with a mobile communication device that includes a communication element. The communication element transmits data between the electromagnetic signal detector and the mobile communication device via a first communication standard. A user interface of the mobile communication device communicates the data to a user of the electromagnetic signal detector. The mobile communication device communicates with a communication network via a second communication standard. The first communication standard differs from the second communication standard.
Claims50
An electromagnetic signal detector that interfaces with a mobile communication device, comprising:
- a communication element that facilitates communication of data between said electromagnetic signal detector and said mobile communication device via a first communication standard, wherein a user interface of said mobile communication device is operable to manage at least one operation of said electromagnetic signal detector, wherein said mobile communication device is operable to communicate with a communication network via a second communication standard, and wherein said first communication standard differs from said second communication standard.
A mobile communication device that interfaces with an electromagnetic signal detector, comprising:
- a communication component facilitates communication of data with said electromagnetic signal detector via a first communication standard;
- and
- a user interface that is operable to manage an operation of said electromagnetic signal detector and communicates information regarding said operation of said electromagnetic signal detector to a user of said mobile communication device, wherein said mobile communication device communicates with a communication network via a second communication standard, and wherein said first communication standard differs from said second communication standard.
A computer program product for mobile communication device that interfaces with an electromagnetic signal detector, the computer program product comprising:
- a tangible computer readable storage medium storing computer executable program code that, when executed by a processor, causes said computer executable program code to perform a method comprising:
- a) receiving data from said electromagnetic signal detector via a first communication standard;
- b) communicating said data with a communication network via a second communication standard, wherein said first communication standard differs from said second communication standard;
- and
- c) communicating said data to at least one of a user of said mobile communication device and a user of an other device based at least partially on a user input from a user interface of said mobile communication device.
A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a communication element that receives a prediction of an alert level from a server based on a geographic location associated with said mobile communication device via a communication network, wherein said prediction is based on an analysis of data related to at least one of law enforcement activity, traffic conditions, a hazard, an alert, a school zone, a hospital zone, a weather condition, a geographic location, and a navigation route, and
- a user interface that communicates to a user of said mobile communication device at least one of said data and said prediction.
The mobile communication device of claim 41, wherein said custom data comprises a customized entry associated with a geographic location for said mobile communication device.
A server for a mobile communication device that communicates predictions to a user of said mobile communication device, comprising:
- a reception element that receives communication from a mobile communication device wherein said mobile communication device is operable to communicate via a first communication standard;
- a aggregation component that aggregates data from at least one of said mobile communication device and an electromagnetic signal detector;
- an analysis algorithm that analyzes said data, wherein analyzing said data identifies a portion of aggregated data based on a geographic location associated with said mobile communication device;
- and
- a transmission element that facilitates communication of said identified portion of aggregated data via a second communication standard to said mobile communication device based on a geographic location associated with said mobile communication device;
- wherein said mobile communication device generates a prediction based upon said identified portion of aggregated data, and wherein a user interface of said mobile communication device communicates said prediction to a user of said mobile communication device, and wherein said first communication standard differs from said second communication standard.
A computer program product for mobile communication device, the computer program product comprising:
- a tangible computer readable storage medium storing computer executable program code that, when executed by a processor, causes said computer executable program code to perform a method comprising:
- a) receiving a prediction of an alert level from a server based on a geographic location associated with said mobile communication device via a communication network, wherein said prediction is based on an analysis of data, wherein said data comprises information related to at least one of a geographic location, a heading, a speed, an acceleration, and a navigation route;
- b) receiving a user input from a user interface of said mobile communication device;
- and
- c) communicating said prediction to a user of said mobile communication device based at least partially on said user input.
