Feb 7, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/050776

Inventors:

Charles Leedom - Falls Church VA, US

Assignee:

MLR, LLC - McLean VA

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455450000, 455434000

Abstract:

A wireless, multi-modal access device and system adapted to integrate a number of communications networks operating in differing communication modes to facilitate transfer of communication links during a communication session to promote efficient use of the communication networks. The system includes a plurality of Universal Multi-Modal Access Devices UMMAD that are capable of operating at different frequencies and different protocols (TDMA, AMPS, CDMA, GSM, PCS etc) to communicate with any one of a number of Wide Bandwidth Gateways (WBG), which are each capable of communication using one or more of the protocols. The communication links may be switched from one WBG to another or from one protocol to another during a communication session to continue the session under the control of a Universal System Traffic Controller. Numerous other applications of the UMMADs for unique identification and e-commerce are disclosed.

Appl. No.:

11/474285

Inventors:

Charles M. Leedom - Falls Church VA, US

International Classification:

H04L 9/00

US Classification:

713156

Abstract:

In one embodiment, the invention provides a portable wireless personal communication system for cooperating with a remote certification authority to employ time variable secure key information pursuant to a predetermined encryption algorithm to facilitate convenient, secure encrypted communication. The disclosed system includes a wireless handset, such as PDA, smartphone, cellular telephone or the like, characterized by a relatively robust data processing capability and a body mounted key generating component which is adapted to be mounted on an individual's body, in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, for wirelessly broadcasting, within the immediate proximity of the individual, a secret or private key identifying signal corresponding to a time variable secure key information under the control of the certification authority. The key identifying signal is generated in a format that facilitates secure wireless communication with the individual in accordance with a predetermined encryption algorithm including a PKI encryption algorithm. The disclosed system may be used with a console for coordinating access to a variety of different communication system and networks.

International Classification:

H04Q 732

US Classification:

455553

Abstract:

A frequency and protocol agile wireless communication product, and chipset for forming the same, including a frequency agile transceiver, a digital interface circuit for interconnecting the radio transceiver with external devices, protocol agile operating circuit for operating the radio transceiver in accordance with one of the transmission protocols as determined by a protocol signal and an adaptive control circuit for accessing a selected wireless communication network and for generating the frequency control signal and the protocol control signal in response to a user defined criteria. Among the possible user defined criteria would be (1) the cost of sending a data message, (2) the quality of transmission link (signal strength, interference actual or potential), (3) the potential for being bumped off of the system (is service provider at near full capacity), (4) the security of transmission, (5) any special criteria which the user could variably program into his omni-modal wireless product based on the user's desires or (6) any one or more combinations of the above features that are preprogrammed, changed or overridden by the user. The disclosed invention allows wireless service providers to broadcast electronically as part of any "handshaking" procedure with a omni-modal wireless product information such as (1) rate information and (2) information regarding system operating characteristics such as percent of system capacity in use and/or likelihood of being dropped. The disclosed invention creates a user oriented source enrollment and billing service in the wireless data market by establishing uniform standard for "handshakes" to occur between cell service providers and omni-modal wireless products.

Inventors:

Charles M. Leedom - Falls Church VA

International Classification:

G06F 1538
G06F 1520

US Classification:

36441919

Abstract:

A computer implemented deadline docketing system for receiving, organizing and reporting future deadline calendar dates. The system includes a report generator for generating an operator viewable first report of all unverified future calendar dates which are stored in the system. The system also includes a verification recorder for converting unverified future calendar dates into verified dates by receiving and storing in association with a future calendar date a human operator generated verification signal whenever a human operator has independently verified the accuracy of the corresponding calendar date. The system is also organized to provide in the first report a complete chronological record, in the form of a Table of Contents, of all deadline calendar dates which have been entered into the system in association with a particular law case identified by a unique record key along with a word description of the action required, the verification status, the date upon which the required action was completed and a word description of the action taken to satisfy the calendar date deadline.
