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 a no direct personal contact, using a computer based communication device connected through a network, comprising:

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

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

a memory module configured to store at least one client based indicia determined at a time of direct personal contact between the user and the client;

a memory module configured to store at least one set of a plurality of pre-established, client relevant user communications;

a message processor configured to automatically transmit 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;

a message processor configured to receive a return communication from a client;

an application processor engine configured to determine an efficacy indicator for each of the plurality of pre-established communications and establish an efficacy hierarchy matrix based upon client responses to the pre-established communications wherein the efficacy hierarchy matrix is self-adapting to create additional pre-established communications based upon client responses.

2. 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.

3. A communication system in accordance with claim 2 wherein the mobile phone is configured to receive and transmit data in response to the receipt of the pre-established communication.

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

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

6. A communication system in accordance with claim 1 further comprising a memory module configured to store client data.

7. A communication system in accordance with claim 6 further comprising:

a processor configured to compare the client data with the at least one client-based indicia;

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

,

an application processor response transmission engine configured to communicate to the client a pre-established communication based upon and responsive to the rules set and the comparison performed by the processor.

8. A communication method for maintaining contact between a user and a client during periods where there is no direct personal contact, using a computer 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;

f. receiving a return communication from a client; and

,

g. determining an efficacy indicator for each of the plurality of pre-established communications and establishing a efficacy hierarchy matrix based upon client responses to the pre-established communications wherein the efficacy hierarchy matrix is self-adapting to create additional pre-established communications based upon client responses.

9. A communication method in accordance with claim 8 in which the computer based communication device is a mobile phone connected in at least a partial wireless communication system.

10. A communication method in accordance with claim 9 wherein the mobile phone receives and transmits data in response to the receipt of the pre-established communication.

11. A communication method in accordance with claim 8 wherein the pre-established communication are user generated.

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

13. A communication method in accordance with claim 8 further comprising the step of storing client data.

14. A communication method in accordance with claim 13 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.
