Abstract
The present invention teaches an economical disposable emergency cellular telephone. A major object of this invention is a cellular telephone providing a self-defense capability to a user by generating high voltage shocks. A further object of the invention is a new technique for having a large number of cellular phones share the same small group of access numbers and serial numbers in order to reduce the monthly charges to zero for the end consumer. This makes it more practical to use cellular phones for data transmission and monitoring applications.
Claims24
A cellular phone comprising a power source, a communications antenna, communications electronic circuitry, and high voltage electronics, cooperatively connected so that the phone will generate a high voltage shock for self defense purposes but also allow normal cell phone communication in which the cooperative connection is at the antenna so that the antenna is used as a shocking electrode.
A personal safety device consisting of:
- a) a source of electrical power;
- b) a first circuit, capable of generating a high frequency signal, connected to the source of electrical power,
- c) a communications antenna connected to the first circuit,
- d) a second circuit, capable of generating a high voltage, operably connected to the source of electrical power
- e) a human operable switch connected to the second circuit,
- so that the device is capable of transmitting cellular phone signals and also defensive high voltage shocks when directed by a human operator in which the high voltage shock is delivered at least to the communications antenna.
A method of dealing with a personal security threat comprising the steps of:
- packaging cellular phone circuitry together with a high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus,
- connecting the cellular phone circuitry to the high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus at the cellular phone antenna,
- generating a high voltage shock on command via the high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus,
- delivering the high voltage shock to the cellular phone antenna, and
- placing an emergency assistance call via the cellular phone circuitry.
