Abstract

An intimating system is provided. The intimating system comprises a host and a plurality of portable editors. The host comprises a storing device to store a plurality of target data; a location device to provide a location data; a comparator to compare the location data and the plurality of target data and a sender to send a confirming signal while the location data matches the at least one target data. Each of the portable editors corresponds to a target data and comprises a receiver and an intimating device, wherein the receiver is to receive the confirming signal when the corresponding target data matches the location data and the intimating device is to generate an intimating signal according to the confirming signal.

Claims

1. An intimating system comprising:

a host comprising;

a storing device to store a plurality of target data;

a location device to provide a location data;

a comparator to compare the location data and the plurality of target data; and

a sender to send a confirming signal while the location data matches the at least one target data;

a plurality of portable editors, wherein each of the portable editor corresponds to a target data, each of the portable editor comprises;

a receiver to receive the confirming signal when the corresponding target data matches the location data; and

an intimating device to generate an intimating signal according to the confirming signal.

2. The intimating system of claim 1, wherein the location device further comprising:

a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to receive a global positioning system data; and

a location database to generate the location data according to the global positioning system data.

3. The intimating system of claim 2, wherein the location database is a database of maps, a database of coordinates or a database of the combination of maps and coordinates.

4. The intimating system of claim 1, wherein the intimating signal is a text signal, a voice signal, a light signal or a combination of the above.

5. An intimating system comprising:

a host comprising;

a location device to provide a location data; and

a sender to send the location data; and

a portable editor comprising;

a storing device to store a plurality of target data;

an input device to select one of the plurality of target data as a default target data;

a receiver to receive the location data;

a comparator to compare the location data and the default target data; and

an intimating device to generate an intimating signal while the location data matches the default target data.

6. The intimating system of claim 5, wherein the input device is a plurality of selection buttons each corresponding to one of the plurality of target data.

7. The intimating system of claim 5, wherein the input device is a selection button to select one of the plurality of target data by continuously pressing the selection button.

8. The intimating system of claim 5, wherein the input device is a touch screen to select one of the plurality of target data shown on the screen by touching the screen.

9. The intimating system of claim 5, wherein the location device further comprises:

a global positioning system receiver to receive a global positioning system data; and

a location database to generate the location data according to the global positioning system data.

10. The intimating system of claim 9, wherein the location database is a database of maps, a database of coordinates or a database of the combination of maps and coordinates.

11. The intimating system of claim 5, wherein the intimating signal is a text signal, a voice signal, a light signal or a combination of the above.
