Claims21
A cellular phone comprising:
- a pressure sensor to provide a pressure information;
- cellular communications means for communicating with other phones via a cellular network, said cellular communications means capable of communicating with a server via the cellular network, wherein said server is configured to determine an altitude information of the cellular phone based on signals transmitted by the cellular communications means and transmit the altitude information to the cellular communications means;
- a processor coupled to the pressure sensor and the cellular communications means, wherein, when the cellular phone is not within a zone covered by the cellular network, the processor is capable computing a current altitude information based on the altitude information previously transmitted by the server and the pressure information provided by the pressure sensor;
- and
- a user interface coupled to the processor to enable a user to access the current altitude information.

A system comprising:
- a cellular network;
- a server coupled to the cellular network;
- and
- a cellular phone including a pressure sensor to provide a pressure information, a cellular communications interface to communicate with other phones via the cellular network, the cellular communications interface capable of communicating with the server via the cellular network, wherein the server determines an altitude information of the cellular phone based on signals transmitted by the cellular communications interface and transmits the altitude information to the cellular communications interface, a processor coupled to the pressure sensor and the cellular communications interface, wherein, when the cellular phone is not within a zone covered by the cellular network, the processor is capable computing a current altitude information based on the altitude information previously transmitted by the server and the pressure information provided by the pressure sensor, and a user interface coupled to the processor to enable a user to access the current altitude information.
