Abstract

A method for operating with multiple protocols for handling communications comprising the steps of obtaining information from sensors and related input devices utilizing specialized tamper resistant passive transceivers working with active pulse type transceivers to create historical maps of information on people or objects. This includes steps of: a) identifying recording information, b) sending and receiving prompts, c) associating the call with timers, d) monitoring passive transceivers with low level diagnostic information, e) monitoring the transceivers with voice recognition software, f) recording associated data, g) identifying the users, the key words or phrases within the recorded data, h) naming the recording and i) saving the data in a protected format.

Claims

1. A system for locating radio frequency identification (RFID) devices within a telephone network, comprising:

a plurality of passive devices for sending separately identifiable radio frequency pulses in response to a radio frequency (RF) signal, each passive device including an electronic storage means carrying a stored code associated with each separate device of the plurality of passive devices;

at least one transceiver means for sending an RF signal and reading any response from said passive devices; and

a CPU and storage means, configured for communications with said transceiver means, for storing profiles associated with the separately identifiable radio frequency pulses.

2. A system as in claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of said passive devices further comprises a security antenna for changing the separately identifiable radio frequency pulse when the passive device is altered.

3. A system as in claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of passive devices includes respective circuit within the passive device and a respective bracelet completing said circuit.

4. A system as in claim 1, wherein said CPU and storage means further comprises a telephone means for making telephone calls connected to said CPU means and an activating means for activating a feature of said telephone means selected from the group consisting of the call up, speaker, camera, receiver, and ringer of the telephone means in response to a CPU message generated in response to the radio frequency signal.

5. A system as in claim 1, wherein the transceiver means sends, sequentially, different pulses to different passive devices to lower response noise.

6. A system as in claim 1, wherein said RF signal pulse is sent at intervals associated with receipt by the passive device of an RF signal from the transceiver means.

7. A system as in claim 1, further comprising an interference means for determining the presence of interference and for delaying the radio frequency signal when interference is present.

8. A system as in claim 1, wherein said separately identifiable radio frequency pulses comprise a series of identifiable bits.
