Abstract
A system and method for communicating messages between mobile communication devices. Predefined and customizable messages are provided to the user for selection and transmittal. Customizable messages include customizable text entry portions for text, default information such as the date or time, or defined information previously input and saved in memory by the user. Each predefined message can be translated into another language for transmission to one or more recipients. Acoustic messages can also be recorded and transmitted to one or more recipients. Messages are transmitted by conventional means over radio frequencies, infrared, or cable connections. In a second embodiment messages and translations are transmitted by code to a central server which decodes and transmits the message to each recipient mobile. In a third embodiment, all mobiles in the communication system are programmed to contain identical predefined and customizable messages and messages are transmitted by code.
