Abstract

An integrated system and method to permit coaches, trainers and other life enhancement entities and individuals to monitor, manage, support, schedule, prompt and otherwise motivate clients to achieve set goals, establish new goals and continue routines during times of non-personal interaction between the coach, trainer or enhancement entity or person and the client.

Claims

1. A communication system for maintaining contact between a user and a client during periods where there is no direct personal contact, using a computer based communication device connected through a network, comprising:

a. a processor that may be accessed via the network by a communication device;

b. a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to perform the actions designated by the terminal;

c. means for storing at least one client based indicia determined at a time of direct personal contact between the user and the client;

d. means for storing at least one set of a plurality of pre-established, client relevant user communications;

e. means for automatically transmitting to the client, at a time when there is no direct personal contact between the user and the client, at least one of the pre-established, client relevant user communications based upon the at least one client based indicia.

2. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 further comprising means for receiving a return communication from a client.

3. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 further comprising means for determining the efficacy of each of the plurality of pre-established communications and means to establish a efficacy hierarchy matrix based upon client responses to the pre-established communications.

4. A communication system in accordance with claim 3 in which the efficacy hierarchy matrix is self-adapting to create additional pre-established communications based upon client responses.

5. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 in which the computer based communication device is a mobile phone connected in at least a partial wireless communication system.

6. A communication system in accordance with claim 5 wherein the mobile phone is configured to receive and transmit data in response to the receipt of the pre-established communication.

7. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 wherein the pre-established communication are user generated.

8. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 wherein the pre-established communication are non-user generated.

9. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 further comprising means for storing client data.

10. A communication system in accordance with claim 9 further comprising:

a. processor means for comparing the client data with the at least one client-based indicia;

b. a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a rules set for at least one client which, when executed, cause the system to perform the actions designated by the rules; and

,

c. response transmission means for communicating to the client a pre-established communication based upon and responsive to the rules set and the comparison performed by the processor.

11. A communication method for maintaining contact between a user and a client during periods where there is no direct personal contact, using a computer based communication device connected through a network, comprising:

a. accessing a processor via the network by a communication device;

b. executing stored instructions located in non-transitory computer readable storage medium that, when executed, cause the system to perform the actions designated by the terminal;

c. storing at least one client based indicia determined at a time of direct personal contact between the user and the client;

d. storing at least one set of a plurality of pre-established, client relevant user communications;

e. automatically transmitting to the client, at a time when there is no direct personal contact between the user and the client, at least one of the pre-established, client relevant user communications based upon the at, least one client based indicia.

12. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 further comprising the step of receiving a return communication from a client.

13. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 further comprising the step of determining the efficacy of each of the plurality of pre-established communications and establishing a efficacy hierarchy matrix based upon client responses to the pre-established communications.

14. A communication method in accordance with claim 13 in which the efficacy hierarchy matrix is self-adapting to create additional pre-established communications based upon client responses.

15. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 in which the computer based communication device is a mobile phone connected in at least a partial wireless communication system.

16. A communication method in accordance with claim 15 wherein the mobile phone receives and transmits data in response to the receipt of the pre-established communication.

17. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 wherein the pre-established communication are user generated.

18. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 wherein the pre-established communication are non-user generated.

19. A communication method in accordance with claim 11 further comprising the step of storing client data.

20. A communication method in accordance with claim 19 further comprising:

a. comparing the client data with the at least one client-based indicia;

b. storing a rules set for at least one client response in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium which, when executed, causes the system to perform the actions designated by the rules; and

,

c. transmitting to the client a pre-established communication based upon and responsive to the rules set and the comparison performed by the processor.
