Abstract

A universal mobile communication system for wireless and wired sensor networking. The system is based on a sensor network comprising both hardware (wireless and/or wire-line sensor nodes) and software (universal mobile communication system logic, communication portal, etc.). The system of the instant invention may also comprise mobile communications devices (MCD), and in certain embodiments, the universal mobile communication system for wireless and wire lined sensor networking may comprise: a MCD; a set sensor node; a backend server; a short messaging service (SMS) server; and a communication portal. The MCD may connect to the sensor node by wireless communication and the backend server can couple all of the components in the system by communication such that information provided by the MCD and the fixed sensor node is sent to the backend server and transferred to the communication portal through the backend server while information from the communication portal is sent to the backend server and transferred to the MCD and the fixed sensor node.

Claims

1. A method for automobile park registration comprising:

providing a universal mobile communication system comprising

a mobile communication device;

a fixed sensor node;

a backend server;

a short messaging system server; and

a communication portal;

said mobile communication device wirelessly, operatively coupling said fixed sensor node, said backend server, said short messaging system server, and said communication portal and thereby providing communication transmissions there between;

a mobile kiosk operatively coupled to said mobile communication device, said fixed sensor node and said backend server; and

a mobile display device operatively coupled to said mobile communication device, said fixed sensor node and said backend server;

a mobile administration device operatively coupled with said fixed sensor node, said backend server; and

a mobile wireless sensor node input device which in operatively coupled to said mobile communication device, said fixed sensor node and said backend server; and

said mobile communication device comprises at least one set of a master-body and a slave-body operatively coupled to one another through wireless communication for facilitating wireless communication within said system; and

wherein said fixed sensor node is located in a parking lot,

said fixed sensor node communicating with and registering said mobile communication device located in an automobile upon entrance into said parking lot,

establishing an anti-auto theft mode of said system with input keys of said mobile communication device, and thereby establishing communication there between;

monitoring a condition and location associated with said ant-auto theft mode of the mobile communication device of the automobile;

said fixed sensor node providing an alert signal to said backend server of the theft condition and location of said mobile communication device of the automobile.

2. The method for automobile park registration of claim 1 wherein

said backend server communicates alert signals wireless to said mobile communication device via said sensor node when in wireless coverage area.

3. The method for automobile park registration of claim 2 wherein

said backend communicates alert signals via said short messaging system server to a mobile phone number associated with said mobile communication device.
