Abstract

The present invention is a new process (method) of making, manufacturing, operating, locating, and providing service for a Child Emergency Locating Device (CELD). The invention uses the resources of technology the cell phone industry uses to operate and locate cell phones. This technology is used to provide the operational and locating capabilities in the invention. It'"'"'s used in a new method that is different from cell phones. The invention is made small and is used in a strategically concealed and silent manner so when in use, no one knows the child is using the device. The purpose of the invention is to provide mankind the best means of locating lost/abducted children quickly and inexpensively. Since the cell phone industry has such vast resources to locate their phones, they can make the CELDs inexpensively. The savings means parents can afford to protect their children should they become lost or abducted.

Claims

1. The present invention is a new process (method) of making and manufacturing Child Emergency Locating Devices (CELDs).

By modifying a cell phone to be a CELD that is as small as possible and using the necessary components so as to be able to operate and be located through cell phone service.

By manufacturing a CELD using this patent application as a guide

By configuring the components in such a way as to make the device as small as possible

By modifying or manufacturing the keyboard to have only 2 functions:

on, off, and Emergency 911 and to be as small as possible

By modifying or manufacturing the mainframe with is also the ground for the invention and to be as small as possible.

By using a small screen panel or LED lights for indicators on power supply and on/off function if screen panel is not used.

By modifying or manufacturing the invention so as to emit no sound.

By manufacturing a case to house the components and make it as small as possible.

2. The present invention creates a new process (method) of use for cell phones and cell phone service.

A new method of locating lost or abducted children by using the cell phone operating and locating technology and cell phone service. Unlike cell phones, which are used in a visible manner, the present invention is concealed, and no sound is emitted.

By making a CELD from cell phones or their components, which is used in a concealed manner so no one knows the wearers have the device on them.

By making the invention silent, so as not to give away its concealment on the child or wearer.

By making the invention as small as possible so as to be able to strategically conceal the invention so that in an abduction situation, the abductor, would not know or could not easily find said invention.

By using the operating and locating means and technology to create a CELD that operates on cell phone service.

By using cell phone service in a new way, to find lost or abducted children.

By using cell phone service to quickly locate lost or abducted children by using the technology that the FCC has required all cell phones and cell phone service providers have by the FCC since the mandate in 2005.

3. The Present invention creates a new process (method) of operation and location for Child Emergency Location Devices.

By using the operating and locating means and technology to create a CELD that operates on Cell phone service.

By using the cell phone service providers transmission mode technology (such as CDMA) to send the signal to the invention.

By using the cell phone identification codes, Electronic Serial Number (ESN), Mobile Identification number (MIN), System Identification Code (SID) to identify and locate the invention.

By using the service providers Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO) to keep track of the invention'"'"'s location in a database. This way, the MTSO knows which cell the invention is in and, therefore, can locate it in an abduction situation.

By using the MTSO'"'"'s control channel to connect the invention and whomever is trying to find said invention by picking a pair of frequencies to use. Once the invention and tower switch on those frequencies, the connection is made and the location is known.

By using whatever type of GPS unit the cell phone has (such as Assisted Global Positioning System—

AGPS) to create another means of locating the invention.

By using a GPS service provider to find the geographical location of the invention.

By parents or concerned parties using an APP program for a GPS service on a smart phone to find the location of the invention.

By the child or device wearer pressing the emergency 911 button on the device, the technology all cell phones and service providers are required to have by the FCC, will identify and transmit the contact number and location of the GELD immediately to 911.

By parents or concerned parties reporting an abduction by calling 911 and giving the contact number (provided by the service provider) of the CELD, in an emergency situation, Emergency 911 will know the location as soon as the connection is made.
