US 9,807,599 B1 · Management of wireless communication devices by a mobile control device

Abstract

Systems, methods, and software that enable a mobile control device to manage wireless communication devices. The mobile control device receives a user-type instruction indicating a user-type and a map instruction indicating a geographic area. In response to receiving these instructions, the mobile control device displays on a touch display a geographic map indicating the wireless communication devices of the selected user-type that are located within the selected geographic area. The user touches the display through the geographic map to select some wireless communication devices of the selected user-type within the selected geographic area. The mobile control device receives an activation instruction for the selected ones of the wireless communication devices and in response, wirelessly transferring an activation message indicating the activation instruction for the selected ones of the wireless communication devices for delivery to and execution by a wireless network control system.

A method of operating a mobile control device to manage wireless communication devices, the method comprising:

in the mobile control device, receiving a selection for a user-type and receiving a map instruction indicating a geographic area map, selecting a geographic area on the geographic area map, and in response, displaying the geographic area map indicating multiple wireless communication devices of the selected user-type that are located within the selected geographic area;
in the mobile control device, receiving touch-display inputs through the geographic area map selecting at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices of the selected user-type within the selected geographic area;
in the mobile control device, receiving an activation instruction indicating a command to at least allow or block wireless communications between other wireless communication devices that are in the selected geographic area and the selected at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices and in response, wirelessly transferring an activation message indicating the activation instruction for the selected at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices for delivery to a wireless network control system.

A mobile control device to manage wireless communication devices, the mobile control device comprising:

a graphic display configured to receive a selection for a user-type and receive a map instruction indicating a geographic area map, selecting a geographic area on the geographic area map;
a processing system configured to obtain geographic map data indicating multiple wireless communication devices of the selected user-type that are located within the selected geographic area;
the graphic display configured to display the geographic area map of the geographic map data, receive touch-display inputs selecting at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices of the selected user-type within the selected geographic area, and receive an activation instruction indicating a command to at least allow or block wireless communications between other wireless communication devices that are in the selected geographic area and the selected at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices;
the processing system configured to direct a wireless transfer of an activation message indicating the activation instruction for the selected at least one of the multiple wireless communication devices for delivery to a wireless network control system.
