Patent Images
1. A mobile device comprising:
- a processing circuitry, memory and storage;
a global positioning system (GPS) receiver circuitry;
an iris scanner;
a client software, that is executed by the processing circuitry, conducting iris based identity check of a current user based on data collected by the iris scanner, and in response, selectively authorizing access to a tasks list;
wherein the task list comprises a plurality of tasks to be completed by the user of the mobile device, the plurality of tasks having been selected based on a current location of the mobile device, a street name associated with the current location, or based on a current route being navigated;
the client software prompting the user to mark the status of each of the tasks in the task list as completed, skipped or deferred, wherein the client software records and reports the corresponding task status in a task completion response; and
wherein the iris scanner comprises a digital camera that, when activated, takes images and makes multiples measurements and collects reference data points, based on which the authentication of the user of the mobile device is conducted.

Abstract
Mobile device for communicating arrival information at a waypoint, communicating that information to a server, receiving a set of tasks (statically assigned or dynamically assigned) for the user (for example, from the server or from another user), displaying the set of tasks to the user, receiving a completion response (successful or unsuccessful) from the user, and proceeding to the next waypoint along a route/trip plan. A coordination server facilitates communication of a list of tasks assigned to a user to be performed at a specified location. Using the user'"'"'s iris image for authenticating the user of a mobile device makes mobile task assignment, and other mobile activities more secure.

7. A server communicatively coupled to a first mobile device, the server comprising:
at least one processor for communicating with the first mobile device, the at least one processor operable to, at least; receive several tasks for completion, along with a corresponding task sender identification and completion status; receive a current location of the first mobile device, a street name associated with the current location, or a current route being navigated, from a client software in the first mobile device; prompt the user of the first mobile device to provide at least one iris image; identify the user of the first mobile device based on the at least one iris image; deliver to the client software of the first mobile device a task list comprising a plurality of tasks selected from the several tasks received, to be completed by the user of the first mobile device, after successful identification of the current user based on the at least one iris image; and receive, process and store a task completion status for each of the plurality of tasks as they are reported by the client software of the first mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A first mobile device comprising:
-
an iris scanner; a processor configured to execute and operate a client software, the client software capable of sending and receiving GPS based location information and retrieving a first task list based on a current location; the client software configured to send, when prompted, an iris image of a user captured employing the iris scanner and communicating it to a coordinating server, and in response, receiving a second tasks lists for completion by the corresponding user; the client software configured to automatically retrieve a third task list for the user based on an iris image captured by the iris scanner; the client software configured to dynamically receive a plurality of item pickup requests from a plurality of businesses, when they are distributed opportunistically to the first mobile device based on a current route being navigated or a current location, wherein the client software updates the status of the individual item pickup requests if it receives a notification of corresponding item pickup; and wherein the client software authenticates the user, if necessary, while the user is conducting item pickup requests, or while the user is conducting the tasks of the first task list, the second task list and the third task list, selectively by means of a password challenge, a PIN code prompt, or a iris image verification using the iris scanner. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
