Abstract

A system for tracking a mobile telephone having a GPS receiver, the mobile telephone receiving instruction to transmit to a cellular tower its position and identification. The system including a server for receiving a signal from a cellular tower and from a client. The system includes a sub-system for receiving a signal representative of the mobile telephone location and identification; a sub-system for storing the mobile telephone location and identification; and a subOsystem for transmitting location data and phone identification data to a logged client.

Claims

1. A system for providing the location of a wireless communications device having a GPS receiver, comprising:

a wireless communications device having an antenna for receiving a GPS signal from a GPS satellite and for two way communication with a wireless network, a GPS signal processor, memory storage and a microprocessor, said wireless communications device adapted to receive a sub-system containing instructions to transmit to a wireless network a signal representative of the wireless communications device location and identification;

a server operating within a network capable of receiving a signal from a wireless network and from a client;

a client for receiving a signal from a server, the client being capable of logging into the system;

a sub-system for transmitting a signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification from a wireless communications device to a wireless network;

a sub-system for receiving a signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification from said wireless communications device;

a sub-system for parsing the signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification into location data and wireless communications device identification data;

a sub-system for storing the location data and wireless communications device identification data; and

a sub-system for determining whether the client is logged into said system.

2. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said client is wireless communications device.

3. The system as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a sub-system for transmitting location data and wireless communications device identification data to said client if said client is logged into said system.

4. The system as set forth in claim 3, wherein the location data and wireless communications device identification data are associated with a user.

5. The system as set forth in claim 4, further comprising a sub-system which generates a web page and transmits the web page to said client.

6. The system as set forth in claim 5, wherein the web page transmitted to said client includes at least one interface, where interface is chosen from the group consisting of a map, a spreadsheet, user data and client tools.

7. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said a wireless communications device transmits a signal representative of a wireless communications device location and identification when said wireless communications device is powered on.

8. The system as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a sub-system for navigation which generates a map on said wireless communications device.

9. The system as set forth in claim 8, wherein the map is interactive.

10. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said subsystem for transmitting a signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification from a wireless communications device to a wireless network is non-detectable to a user.

11. The system as set forth in claim 4, wherein an alarm notifies said client of a concern, where a concern is selected from the group consisting of velocity, dormancy and change in direction.

12. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing the location of a wireless communications device having a GPS receiver, comprising:

a code segment for transmitting a signal representative of wireless communications device location and wireless communications device identification from a wireless communications device to a wireless network, the wireless communications device having an antenna for receiving a GPS signal from a GPS satellite and for two way communication with a wireless network, a GPS signal processor, memory storage and a microprocessor;

a code segment for receiving the signal representative of location from the wireless communications device by a server, the server operating in a network capable of receiving a signal from a wireless network and from a client;

a code segment for parsing the signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification into location data and wireless communications device identification data;

a code segment for storing the location data and phone identification data; and

a code segment for determining whether the client is logged into said system.

13. The computer program as set forth in claim 12, further comprising a code segment for transmitting location data and wireless communications device identification data to said client if said client is logged into said system.

14. The computer program as set forth in claim 13, wherein said code segment associates the location data and wireless communications device identification data with a user.

15. The computer program as set forth in claim 14, further comprising a code segment which generates a web page and transmits the web page to the client.

16. The computer program as set forth in claim 15, wherein the web page transmitted to the client includes at least one interface, where interface is chosen from the group consisting of a map, a spreadsheet, user data and client tools.

17. The computer program as set forth in claim 12, wherein said code segment causes the wireless communications device to transmit a signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification when the wireless communications device is powered on.

18. The computer program as set forth in claim 12, further comprising a code segment which generates a map on said wireless communications device to provide for navigation.

19. The computer program as set forth in claim 18, wherein said code segment provides an interactive map.

20. The computer program as set forth in claim 12, wherein said code segment for transmitting a signal representative of wireless communications device location and identification from a wireless communications device to a wireless network is non-detectable to a user.

21. The computer program as set forth in claim 14, wherein said code segment causes an alarm to notify the client of a concern, where a concern is selected from the group consisting of velocity, dormancy and change in direction.

22. The computer program as set forth in claim 12, wherein the client is wireless communications device.
