SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A WORK FLOW MANAGEMENT APPLICATION SUITE FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
First Claim
1. A mobile communication device for a workflow management system, the device comprising:
- a processor;
a touch screen interface coupled to the processor;
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing a work flow application suite for accessing project information stored on a back-end database, the memory further storing cached data for the work flow application suite;
a wireless communication function coupled to the processor;
a global positioning function coupled to the processor;
at least one speaker coupled to the processor; and
a microphone coupled to the processor;
wherein the wireless communication function includes transmitter and receiver circuitry which provides communications connectivity for the mobile communication device to the back-end database via both wireless telecommunications networks and wireless network access points;
wherein the work flow application suite includes computer executable code executed by the processor which causes the processor to initiating a login to the back-end database by transmitting a unique device ID for the mobile communication device, and a username and password to a supervisory server;
wherein when the logon is granted by the supervisory server, the work flow application suite causes the processor to retrieve project information records from the back-end database for one or more projects assigned to the username;
wherein the work flow application suite causes the processor to display onto the touch screen interface a schedule of project information for the one or more projects based on the project information records, wherein the project information includes a Method of Procedure (MOP) status for each of the one or more projects, the MOP status indicating whether a MOP to perform a work task is currently valid.
