Abstract

A system and method for storing personal, medical, and insurance related information on a wireless device are disclosed. The information may be stored by sending it from a remote personal computer to a central database using the Internet. The information may be stored on the central database. The information may be accessed on the wireless device (e.g. on a display) or sent from the wireless device or a central database to remote locations, such as a doctor'"'"'s office or hospital.

Claims

1. A method for storing information on a wireless device, comprising the steps of:

accessing a central server, said central server having at least one database associated therewith;

temporarily storing personal, medical or insurance information relating to a person on the central server database;

accessing the central server with the wireless device;

transferring the information from the central server to the wireless device;

storing the information in the wireless device; and

deleting the information from the central server database.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the central server is accessed by a computer terminal using an Internet connection.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the central server is accessed by a computer terminal located locally with the central server.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of using a password or PIN to secure the information temporarily stored in the central server database.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the step of deleting the information from the central server database comprises the step of saving and not deleting from the database the password or PIN used to secure the temporarily stored information.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of transmitting at least a portion of the information stored on the wireless device to a remote terminal.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the remote terminal is a telefax machine.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the remote terminal is a computer adapted to receive e-mail.

9. The method according to claim 1 further comprising the step of visually displaying on the wireless device at least a portion of the information stored thereon.

10. The method according to claim 9 further comprising the step of entering a password or PIN into the wireless device prior to display of at least a portion of the information stored on the wireless device.

12. The method according to claim 1 wherein the step of transferring information from the central server database to the wireless device is predicated on the transmission of a password or PIN to the central server from the wireless device.

14. The method according to claim 1 wherein the step of storing the information in the wireless device comprises the step of storing the information in a memory allocated to the storage of personal, medical, or insurance information.

16. The method according to claim 6 wherein the step of transmitting to a remote terminal comprises the steps of:

accessing the central server from the wireless device;

transmitting the information stored in the wireless device to the central server;

temporarily storing the information in a database associated with the central server;

instructing the central server to transmit the information to a remote terminal;

transmitting the information temporarily stored in the central server to the remote location; and

deleting the information from the database associated with the central server.

28. The method according to claim 1 further comprising the steps of:

permanently storing medication reminder information on the central server database; and

indicating a medication reminder with the wireless device in response to the storage of medication reminder information on the central server database.

17. A method for storing information on a wireless device, comprising the steps of:

accessing a central server with a remote input device, said central server having a database associated therewith;

temporarily storing information relating to a person in the central server database;

storing in the database a password or PIN associated with the information;

accessing the central server with a wireless device;

transmitting the password or PIN from the wireless device to the central server;

transmitting the information temporarily stored in the database to the wireless device responsive to the receipt of the password or PIN by the central server;

storing the information in the wireless device; and

deleting the information temporarily stored in the central server database.

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein the step of transmitting the information to the wireless device comprises insertion of the information into a Uniform Resource Locator.

21. The method according to claim 17, wherein the step of storing the information in the wireless device comprises bookmarking a Uniform Resource Locator containing the information.

22. The method according to claim 17, further comprising the step of transmitting at least a portion of the information stored on the wireless device to a remote terminal.

26. The method according to claim 17 further comprising the step of entering a password or PIN into the wireless device prior to display of at least a portion of the information stored on the wireless device.
