## Abstract

A communication device that communicates via a base station through a radio link that includes: a display that displays an inquiry from a plurality of inquiries, a first input, which upon being activated, indicates an agreement in response to the inquiry, a second input, which upon being activated, indicates a disagreement in response to the inquiry, an emergency input, which upon being activated, indicates an emergency situation, a controller that selects and dials the phone number corresponding to the contact name from a plurality of phone numbers corresponding to a plurality of contact names based on the indicated agreement, the indicated disagreement, and the indicated emergency situation, such that the agreement and the disagreement with each inquiry of the plurality of inquiries guides the controller in selecting and dialing the phone number corresponding to the contact name from the plurality of phone numbers.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communication device that communicates via a base station through a radio link, said communication device comprising:
a display that displays an inquiry from a plurality of inquiries, a phone number being dialed, and/or a contact name being dialed;
a first input, which upon being activated, indicates an agreement in response to said inquiry from said plurality of inquiries;
a second input, which upon being activated, indicates a disagreement in response to said inquiry from said plurality of inquiries;
an emergency input, which upon being activated, indicates an emergency situation;
a controller that selects and dials said phone number corresponding to said contact name from a plurality of phone numbers corresponding to a plurality of contact names based on said indicated agreement, said indicated disagreement, and said indicated emergency situation, said controller including:
a memory that stores said plurality of phone numbers and said corresponding plurality of contact names in a plurality of groups and a plurality of sub-groups;
a transceiver that communicates with said base station through said radio link;
a programming port that is connected to an external device to add, delete, modify, and/or delete said plurality of phone numbers and said plurality of contact names in said memory;
a speaker that outputs audio received by or produced in said communication device; and
a microphone that receives a voice and converts said voice to a voice signal, wherein
said agreement and said disagreement with each inquiry of said plurality of inquiries guides said controller in selecting and dialing said phone number corresponding to said contact name from said plurality of phone numbers.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The communication device according to claim 1, further comprising:
an internal speaker that outputs said audio received by or produced in said communication device;
a sensor that determines whether or not said communication device is placed on or in a predetermined distance near an ear, wherein
upon determination that said communication device is placed on said ear, said internal speaker is muted and said audio is played via said speaker, and
upon determination that said communication device is not placed on said ear, said speaker is muted and said audio is played via said internal speaker.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The communication device according to claim 2, wherein
said first input, said second input, and said emergency input are the only inputs of said communication device, and
each inquiry of said plurality of inquiries is displayed on said display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The communication device according to claim 2, wherein each inquiry of said plurality of inquiries is played via said internal speaker or said speaker.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The communication device according to claim 2, wherein
each inquiry of said plurality of inquiries corresponds to said contact name of said plurality of contact names, each group of said plurality of groups, and/or each sub-group of said plurality of sub-groups, and
each group of said plurality of groups includes one or more sub-group of said plurality of sub-groups, and said one or more sub-groups include one or more contact names and corresponding phone numbers.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The communication device according to claim 2, wherein said plurality of contact names corresponding to said plurality of phone numbers, said plurality of groups, and said plurality of sub-groups are programmed into the memory from a personal computer or a smart phone.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The communication device according to claim 2, said controller of said communication device further includes:
a location acquisition unit that acquires a current location of said communication device, wherein
said location acquisition unit acquires said current location of said communication device based on a cell tower location and/or global positioning satellite.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The communication device according to claim 7, wherein
upon activating said emergency input that indicates said emergency situation, said controller of said communication device based on said current location of said communication device, searches for a closest phone number that corresponds to a closest contact name from said plurality of contact names, said closest phone number being said phone number of a closest contact that is geographically located closest to said current location.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The communication device according to claim 7, wherein
upon activating said emergency input that indicates said emergency situation, said controller of said communication device based on said current location of said communication device, contacts the closest police station.

### Claim 10 (depends on 2)
