Thi information can also then be relayed op to the servers such as servers 90 and 92,
With t!hs second embodiment, as shown in PIG. 7, the system starts in step S30 where the user can. enroll objects such as remote devices 102 or 104 m the database. The enrollment of an object hi a database can include the user signing up for a profile, as well as identifying the object itself. For example, in step S32 the user can create a profile for an object. The profile can include inform tion which .includes contact infonnation,. identity card i format on, demographic information., as well as a personality profile.
For example in step S3 the user 'can set up contact information for this object. Contact information can Include telephone number,, email address, twitter contact, or any other type of contact information.
Steps S36a and S36b include either a user ordering an identity card such as a SIM card/CDMA card which comes provided with a telephone nnmber or registering an existing SIM card/ ("DMA card to either register an existing telephone number or to receive a new telephone nnmber.
Next, In step S38 the user can upload. basic demographi information, ahon the object. This type of demographic information is discussed in greater detail in. FIG. 9, Next, in step S39 user can create a personality profile as well. This personality profile is shown in FIG, 8 as well as discussed in greater detail in PIG. 11.
These above steps can be performed via a user login through the Internet 100 via any one of devices 1. 10. 112, or 1.1.4, an . commwicaritjg with a. server stfcfc as application server 90 and database server 92, Comm ni ation of this Information can fee through a web portal such as a webpage which can be generated by application server 90 wherein microprocessor 121 is configured to perforin the steps shown in FIG. 7,
PIG, 8 discloses screenshot: of a profile created by user, such a profile can be created for ex mple in step S32, The screemh t 200 is a representative example of a profile created by a user for an object For example, included, in this profile- could be a picture 202, demographic inf rmation '204, contact information 206, as well as a personality profile 208, I addition, this profile could also include -a lis of future acts 210 that could be or may be performed by the object shown in profile 200, This type of object could be any type of suitable object but for example could be an object associated with anyone of remote device 1 2 or remote device 104,
PIG. 9 discloses a flowchart for creating a demographic profile for an object, This demo ra hic rofil can be created using application server 90 as well as storing information in database server 92. Steps S50 - SS? can be performed using microprocessor 121. For example, a user login to application server 90 can. enter in the t e of the object in step S.50. This object could be an. identification card or chip such as remote device .1.02 or 'remote device 104, This remote device ca also be associated with another type of a object such as an automobile, telephone, a computer, an animal collar, such that the remote device 102 and 104 associated with application server 90 and database server 92 can create a. personality and an occasions profile for
objects which previously did not have any ability to communicate, or have a. personality profile as well Tims, for example the user eonki Input the typ of object in step SSO. Next and step S31 the user could ereate a name for that object For example, a user could enter in the name of the car such as "Nigel", In step S52, the user could associate a sex with that .object such as male or female. Next, in step $53 he user can associate a birthday such as the da e of the creation or urchase of the automobile. ext, in step S54 the user can associate a. place where the object was bom or created. This could be for example, Detroit, Michigan, Stuttgart, Germany, Palo Alio, California, New York, NY or Sofia, Bulgaria. The user can also Insert in step S55 the make or manufacturer of the object. Next in step $56 th tiser could add a culture associated with the object. For example, even if the object Is manufactured in one location such as Mexico or China., if the object is traditionally associated with Gerrnau culture, theu the user could associate this object with German culture, even though, it was manufactured n a different location. Next In step SS?, the use can associate a color with this object as well. All the steps can be performed via a user logging into either application server 90 and or database server 92 inputting information into a webpage through Internet 100 via any one of devices 1 .1.0, 112, and/or 114.
FIG, 10 is a flo wchart for the determination of past acts of the- jec For example, the •user could input information about the object including its movement, habits, its destinations, locations, associations, any accidents, and associate all. this information with days of the week as well as exact dates as weil as time of the day or the weather. This information can be input by a user using any devices such, a 1 10, 1 12, or 14 or inputting information via communication through the Internet 100 into a webpage to communicate information to application server 90
I S
and/or database server 92, This information can also be automatically relayed from any one of remote device 102 or remote device 104 communicating through internet 100 into application server 90 or database server 92,
For example, in step S60 the user coaid. input the movement habits of the object, These mo ement habi s could include any movemen up or down left or right back-wards or forwards, the style of movement habits whether it smooth, erratic, fast, slow, or any other type of movement habits.
Along with die tracking of movement habits, die locations that, this object moves to can. also be tracked in step S6L Thus, this system can track, any location that the object arrived at, either via GPS coordinates, location information, or any other related data. In step S62, this system can also determine whether other objects enrolled, in the system are consistently iocated nearby. For example, in step S62 the system can identify groups or associations of friends of different objects, if they consistently appeared to be 1« a similar or same location. For example, if two friends who either both own telephones, or automobiles, travel consistently together, the system can identify that these two objects' are usually located m a same or similar location. This then allows the system to determine whether these asm are likely friends, family members, or associates.
Next, in step S63 the system can determine whether an accident, has occurred. The determination of whether an accident has occurred can occur by tracking sadden stop ing or
sudden mo ements' of, for exampl an automobile, a telephone, or any other objects, that are being tracked. Additional information related to an accident could a so be uploaded by the remote device 102 or 104 or by the connection with ars. onboard vehicle "black bos.". Thus-, information from the black box in the automobile can be communicated to either one of remote devices 1,02 or 104- which then conimimicates. through the internet to application server 90 which then communicates this information In the database server 92, Thus, processor 141 eads this black box information, forces black box information- through the internet to application' server 90, wherein application, server 90 using microprocessor 1.21 analyzes this mfomiatron and then stores this information database server 92.
Next, the system cars also track the dates of these activities in step $64. For example, the syst m can keep a database in database server 92 of .all the dates of these activities which tracks the movement habits, locations, the groups Association or friends, or any accidents for these activities, This information can also in step S65 correlate these activities based, upon a day of the week, or a day of the month, or a day at of the year. In addition, this' time database in ste $66. can also track the time of day that these activities occur. Furthermore, this database can also track in step S67 the weather that is associated with some of these activities. For example, if a. 'user is traveling to a beach on a hot July day, the system would store Information about the location of travel of the object draw in weather Information associated with, the time and date of that trip, record the movement habit during this time, record the gronps associaiions friends that also perform these trips as well. Therefore, the system can create a movement or travel profile for an object, While ail the Information from steps $'60 through step $66 can be communicated
from remote objects 102 and 104, information about the weather must be drawn from other sour es such as generally recognized internet databases associated with weather inforniation. This information can be downloaded via a command sent from application server 90 and then this information ca then be stored in database server 92 to help create a travel profile for this object.,
PIG, J .1. is a flowchart disclosing the process for creating a personality: profile for the object. For example, step S70 includes the system, looking into the demographic infcmrsation of the object. Next, step S?l looks at the past, acts, wherein these past acts were described in FIG. 10, Next, step S72 involves the system looking to the user who is associated with the device, For example, wliers. a user registers or enrolls an object hi the database as indicated in. step $ 30 the personality of the object, as well as a personality the user can be used in combination to create an overall personality profile, Actions taken by an object when -controlled by one user may be entirely different from, actions taken by the object when controlled by different user. Once all. t i information is stored in database server 92, application server 90 can then create in. step S73 a personality profile. Next,, application server 90 can present this personality profile to a user on a screen in step 374 to allow the user to edit the personality profile.. When editing a personality profile, user can add in. step $75 moods of the object as well as change any other information, about the object. Next, in step S76 the system releases the personality profile so that other users can view this personality profile on the screen. This is shown by way of example of personality profile 200 shown in FIG. 8,
IS-
Next, the system as shown in FIG. 12 c n use this information associated with different databases. or a single database and database server 9:2 to predict future actions or move e s of an. object. For example in step S80 the system, can. predict Mure movements of the object These: future mo emen s can be associated with both the movement habits of step S60 as well . as the locations that the object visits associated with step. $61 , In addition, the system can predict future associations or meetings with other objects that are enrolled in. the system in step SSI , Nex , in step $82 the s stem can predict future habits of the object, and in step S83 the system can predict future activities of the object. These activities can include for example, whether the user turns on a. radio, how loud, the user is, how active the user is. whether the user of the car turns on the ai conditioning, die heat, rolls down the windows, turns isp the stereo, isses a navigation system, bnckl.es their seat belt, etc.
Next, the system can also create a. series of different macro subsystems that can have preset answers to common questions presented to the object. For example, the system, can create a movement macro in step S90. A movement macro is one which predicts certain actions based upon past actions associated with movement habits nd location movements of steps S61 and $62, Next, the system can c ate an activity macro which includes both the past acts and activities of the user, as well as future expected activity movements such as that shown in step S83. Next, the system can. create a personality macro in step S92 based on predicted habits that sets a series of prewet answers to common questions based upon personality profile created for the object as well. Next, in step $93 the system can create an association maero which sets pre-
set answers associated with questions relat ng to other objects based upon one part cular object that may be closely associated with another object or other objects, via travel or activities.
FIG, 14 is a flow chart showing the types of ueri s that can be pre- set for air automated response, in alb the device is configured to communicate w th other portable communication devices such that uses can obtain information from vehicles, such as motor vehicles, so that these users can determine not only the locatio of these vehicles but also the condition of these vehicles as well as their destination, their travel routes as well as their time for arrival
For example, the pre-set macros which can be used to question or query parameters about an object include in step Si 0.1 querying "where is the object?". I step S1Q2 a user ears have a macro to query "where is the object going?'*. The system can rely on past movement data to answer this questions based, upon the microprocessor 121 correlating past travel information with the user, the personality of the object along with the day/date me of day of the query,
In step S 103, a user can have a .macro to query "'Where will the object he in the future depending on the day, date, or time of day or time of year? In step S 104 the user can have a macro to query "what is die object doing?". This would likely return an answer based upon the geographic location of the object, the time of year, the time of day, and the user. For example, if the location was a. beseh, the time of day was 12:00 noon and the user was a beach lover, then the system would return the answer "I am at the beach, enjoying the sun", Alternatively if the object was associated^ wi th a user who was a known fishing enthusiast and the object was at the
beach t night during the fall,, then the system could return the answer "1 am snrfcasting at night".
In step SI 05 the system can also provide future information about the likely habits of the object, particularly what the object will be doin in the 'future.' This information can he obtained, b determining the past habits of the object based, upon the context of these acts, inch.sdi.ng the time of day, the da of the week, or the date on a calendar. Next, in step S i 06 the system can. have a ore-set query for "who is the object with'?'". The information, to ans er this- q ery Is obtained b the microprocesso 121 correlating the geographic information of all of the enrolled objects an selecting die closest relevant objects to answer the above question. Next, in step S 107 the system can provide the following macro far a query "Who will, the object he with m he future?". The microprocessor 121 can then determine the location of the object, the time of day of the, query, the day of the week, the date on the calendar, the direction the object, is traveling, to determine the likely future association of the object with another enrolled object- Next in. step SI 08 the system can provide an automatic macro for the query "'what is the object's rnood:?'? The answer to this question is provided by the systecn wherein the
microprocessor 121 determines the objects mood based ροη. the time of day, day of the week, the calendar date, day of the month, the current acti ity of the object, as well as any recent accident history or horoscope information.
Next, in step 109 the system can -provide an automatic macro for the query "what will the o jects mood be in. the future?". The answer to this question is provided by the system wherein the microprocessor 1.21 determines the object' s future mdod based upon fhe tirne of day. day of the week, the calendar date, the current activity of the object the■. future activities of the object, the current location of the object, the future locution of the object, any recent accident history, as well as any horoscope information as well. Finally, in step j 10 the system can provide an.
automatic macs© for the query *ψϊϊΙ the objec arri ve at die building before it closes?". With this macro, a user can determine whether the object vvi'U arrive at the destination within a desired time range or time period. To d termine the answer for this macro, microprocessor 121 refers to database 92n to determine the time period, in addition, it refers to database ¾2p to determine the estimated time for arrival of the object. The "object"' in this instance can he hi the forni of remote device 102 or remote device 104 and which is shown by way of examp e in FIG, 6C.
Thus, this system creates a way for different objects to communicate with each other. Each of these objects, whether controlled by a human or not can be assigned essentially a personality and personal characteristics which allow this object to have pre-defined answers to typical daily questions. By applying a personality and. characteristics to an otherwise non-living object such as remote device 102 or remote device 1.04 , and shown by way of example as object 140, this allows user to speak with these non-li ing objects and to even carry on a conversation with these non-living objects while at the same time being able to extract valuable information from this object such as location, association, speed, direction, and other relevant conditions or characteristics.
Accordingly, while at least one embodiment of the present invention has been show a»d described, it is to be understood that m y .changes and modifications ma be made (hereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
