Estimating the term…
A method and system for connecting proximately located telecommunications units are disclosed. The method and system may be used in a location aware telecommunications system that can determine the location of a telecommunications unit (TU) being used within the system. A user of a mobile telecommunications unit (MU) is connected to a TU when the MU is within a predetermined distance of a predetermined geographic location meeting predefined criteria. The TU to which the MU is connected may be automated or manually operated. In some embodiments, multiple MUs are connected when they are within a predetermined proximity to each other and a predefined criteria is met.
A method for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU) comprising the step of creating a connection between an MU and a telecommunications unit (TU) associated with a type of predetermined geographic location selected by a user of the MU when the MU is within a predetermined distance of the predetermined geographic location, wherein automatic connections with the predetermined type of geographic location are suppressed except during predefined time periods.
A method for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU) comprising:
A method for automatically connecting proximately located telecommunication units (TU), comprising the step of connecting a first TU to at least one other TU when the first and at least one other TUs are within a first predetermined distance of each other and are within a second predetermined distance of a predetermined geographic location.
The method of claim 8, wherein each TU is a mobile telecommunications unit.
A computer readable medium for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU), comprising stored computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to perform the step of creating a connection between an MU and a telecommunications unit (TU) associated with a type of predetermined geographic location selected by a user of the MU when the MU is within a predetermined distance of the predetermined geographic location, wherein automatic connections with the predetermined type of geographic location are suppressed except during predefined time periods.
A computer readable medium for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU), comprising stored computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of:
A computer readable medium for automatically connecting proximately located telecommunication units (TU), comprising stored computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a computing device to perform the step of connecting a first TU to at least one other TU when the first and at least one other TUs are within a first predetermined distance of each other and are within a second predetermined distance of a predetermined geographic location.
A system for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU), comprising:
A system for automatically initiating a connection with a mobile telecommunications unit (MU), comprising:
A system for automatically connecting proximately located telecommunication units (TU), comprising:
A method of transmitting data to a mobile telecommunication unit (MU), comprising:
A computer readable medium in a system for transmitting data to a mobile telecommunication unit (MU), having instructions contained thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the system to perform the operations of:
A system for transmitting data to a mobile telecommunications unit (MU), comprising:
A method of automatically transmitting data to at least one of a plurality of telecommunication units (TUs), comprising:
A computer readable medium in a system for transmitting data to at least one of a plurality of telecommunication units (TUs), having instructions contained thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the system to perform the operations of:
A system for transmitting data to at least one of a plurality of telecommunications units (TUs), comprising:
