Abstract

A system which comprises a series of native applications, suited to run on mobile devices, and a series of web-based applications for which functionality and processing are optimized. The native applications and the web-based applications are coordinated to optimize processes of acquiring, storing and disseminating data for speed, integrity and security.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon adapted to implement a method of generating information for isolated viewing by one or more members in a group of users, each user having a hand-held device which communicates as a client to a server in a network, the instructions when executed by a device processor of each respective hand-held device causing the device processor to implement a method comprising:

running a first software application on a respective device by which the device is logged into a closed network as a client for the purpose of exchanging data with a server in the network,

launching a second software application from a screen page generated on the display by the first application, and

creating data on the respective device with the second software application running on the device processor and as launched from the screen page generated on the display by the first application, wherein the second application is accessible to the user of the respective device in at least a first data storage mode and wherein the data (i) are presented on the display during or after creation and (ii) are written to a first block of data storage cells in volatile memory or in a non-volatile storage medium of the respective device which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 where, in the method, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in volatile memory of the respective device which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 where, in the method, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in a non-volatile storage medium of the respective device which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

4. A system for generating information for isolated viewing by one or more members in a group of users, comprising

a server comprising a server processor and a non-volatile server storage medium;

a plurality of clients in the form of hand-held devices in communication with the server over a network, each of the hand-held devices comprising a device processor, volatile memory for temporary data storage accessible by the device processor, a display for viewing information present in the volatile memory and non-transitory computer readable non-volatile storage for which access to read data from and write data to the device non-volatile storage medium is under the control of the device processor, and computer instructions written in the non-volatile storage for execution by the device processor to implement a method comprising;

running a first software application by which the device is logged into a closed network as a client for the purpose of exchanging data with the server in the network,

launching a second software application from a screen page generated on the display by the first application, and

creating data on the device with the second software application running on the device processor and as launched from the screen page generated on the display by the first application, wherein the second application is accessible to the user of the respective device in at least a first data storage mode and wherein the data (i) are presented on the display during or after creation and (ii) are written to a first block of data storage cells in the volatile memory or in the non-volatile storage which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

5. The system of claim 4 where, in the method step of creating data on the device, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in the volatile memory which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

6. The system of claim 4 where, in the method step of creating data on the device, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in the non-volatile storage which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

7. A method of generating information for isolated viewing by one or more members in a group of users, each user having a hand-held device which communicates as a client to a server in a network via a rf link, the hand-held devices each having volatile memory for temporary data storage, a display for viewing information present in the device memory, a device processor and non-transitory, computer readable non-volatile data storage for which access to read data from and write data to the device non-volatile data storage is under the control of the device processor, the server having a processor and non-volatile server storage for which access to read data from and write data to the non-volatile server storage is under the control of the server processor, the method comprising:

running a first software application on a first of the devices by which the device is logged into a closed network as a client for the purpose of exchanging data with a server in the network,

launching a second software application from a screen page generated on the display by the first application, and

creating data on the first device with the second software application running on the device processor and as launched from the screen page generated on the display by the first application where the second application is accessible to the user of the first device in at least a first data storage mode and the data (i) are presented on the display during or after creation and (ii) are written to a first block of data storage cells in the volatile memory or in the non-volatile data storage of the first device which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

8. The method of claim 7 where, in the step of creating data on the device, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in the non-volatile data storage which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

9. The method of claim 7 where, in the step of creating data on the device, the data are written to a first block of data storage cells in the volatile memory which are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is generated by the first application.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the volatile memory of the first device includes a second block of data storage cells all of which cells are entirely different cells than the data storage cells in the first block of volatile memory data storage cells and wherein the data cells in the second block are not accessible by the user except by launching the second software application from a screen presented on the display which is not generated by the first application.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the second software application generates location information, image data or text data.
