Position communication method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus including voice transmission means characterized in that there is included a location position determination means adapted to output data which uniquely characterizes a geographic location of the apparatus, and means adapted upon an initiation of a close of a voice transmission from said apparatus to effect transmission of data arising from the position determination means whereby such data can effect an identification of the said location which can be interpreted by further receiving means.

Abstract
A wireless communication apparatus and network including voice transmission means characterized in that there is included a location position determination means adapted to output data which uniquely characterises a geographic location of the apparatus, and means adapted upon an initiation of a close of a voice transmission from said apparatus to effect transmission of data arising from the position determination means whereby such data can effect an identification of the said location which can be interpreted by further receiving means. There is included a wireless network base station adapted to receive, during termination of a signal being received from a mobile station, data identifying the location of the mobile station.

- 1. A wireless communication apparatus including voice transmission means characterized in that there is included a location position determination means adapted to output data which uniquely characterizes a geographic location of the apparatus, and means adapted upon an initiation of a close of a voice transmission from said apparatus to effect transmission of data arising from the position determination means whereby such data can effect an identification of the said location which can be interpreted by further receiving means.
- 10. A network for transmission of wireless signals with capacity to send digital data, characterized in that there is at least one first station and at least one second station, the said first station having means to receive and store useful data from a positioning determination source in digital form and being adapted upon an initiation of a close of a transmission to effect transmission of the data to the other station.
-
14. A wireless network including at least two stations, at least one of which is mobile, global positioning means within the mobile station adapted to provide global positioning data of its position to the mobile station characterized in that the mobile station includes means to initiate transmission from the mobile station to another station, and there are means upon a detection of initiation of conclusion of a transmission from the mobile station to the other station to cause a transmission of sufficient data from the mobile station to the other station for the global positioning data of the mobile station to be recorded at the other station.
- 16. A wireless data and audio communication network including at least one base station and at least one mobile station, global positioning system means with or within the mobile station arranged to provide global positioning data of its position to the mobile station in an electronic form characterized in that the mobile station includes a switch means to commence and cease a transmission connection from the mobile station to the base station, and means upon the switch means effecting a commencement of a ceasing of a transmission connection from the mobile station to the base station being detected, adapted to cause a transmission of sufficient data and other signals including data from the global positioning system to the base station for the then position of the mobile station to be transmitted to and be recordable at the base station.
-
19. A wireless network base station adapted to receive, during termination of a signal being received from a mobile station, data identifying the location of the mobile station.
-
20. A method of establishing and monitoring of a location of a mobile wireless transmission station from another location, the method including the steps of effecting transmission of position data from the mobile station upon initiation of termination of a transmission connection with a receiving station.
-
21. A method of monitoring the location of at least one mobile wireless transmission station from another location which includes the steps of initiating a transmit of location data from the mobile wireless transmission station location upon an initiation of a close transmission switch being effected and where the receiving station is adapted to receive and identify such received data as interpretable data as distinct from any verbal communications.
