System and method of accessing and recording messages at coordinate way points
First Claim
1. A method of accessing and posting messages at coordinate locations within a wireless network, the method comprising the steps of:
- in a wireless network with a plurality of wireless devices activated on said network, monitoring a beacon signal from at least one of said devices while said device is operating in said network, determining based upon said beacon signal and a coordinate location of said device whether a message is available to be displayed on said device.

Abstract
The present invention is essentially a method and system for leaving and retrieving messages at specific coordinate way points within a commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) provider network. Users carry or transport interface devices for communicating over the network and are able to record and view messages at specific coordinate locations while traveling in the network. The location of the device is calculated by the device or by the network while the device is powered on and in within the physical boundaries of the network, or through a combination of both. Messages can be made available to network subscribers when their interface devices come within an area centered about a physical coordinate location. Personalized messages can also be left by subscribers at any coordinate point within the boundaries of the network. The invention can also be used to facilitate access of information about an asset when a technician comes within a physical proximity threshold relative to said asset.
