Abstract

A mobile telephone for Internet applications comprising at least one WEB server which can be coupled to at least one further server and to at least one client.

Claims

1. A mobile telephone, comprising:

at least one WEB-server wherein the web server is coupled to one or more other servers that provide data and information to the web server from corresponding data measurement systems; and

at least one WEB-browser connected to the WEB server, wherein the WEB-server is adapted to receive information and to provide the information at least to the WEB-browser.

4. The Mobile telephone according to claim 1, wherein the at least one WEB server is contained in the microprogram control unit (MCU) of the mobile telephone.

5. The mobile telephone according to claim 1, wherein the at least one WEB server can be coupled to at least one further server.

6. The mobile telephone according to claim 5, wherein the further server is contained in the mobile telephone.

7. the mobile telephone according to claim 1, wherein the WEB server can be coupled to at least one further client.

8. The mobile telephone according to claim 7, wherein the at least one further client is contained in the mobile telephone.

9. The mobile telephone according to claim 7, wherein the at least one further client is designed as a WEB browser.

10. The mobile telephone according to claim 7, wherein the WEB server can itself be operated as a client.

11. The mobile telephone according to claim 1, for use in a communications system for monitoring and/or guiding a vehicle.

12. The mobile telephone according to claim 1, for use in a communications system for medically monitoring a patient.

20. The mobile telephone according to claim 10, wherein the WEB server can be coupled to at least one external service provider.

2. A mobile telephone, comprising:

at least one WEB-server wherein the WEB server is connected to one or more medical information servers, each medical information server adapted to provide medical data from a respective diagnostic device to the WEB server; and

at least one WEB-browser connected to the WEB server;

wherein the WEB-server is adapted to receive information and to provide the information at least to the WEB-browser.

3. A mobile telephone, comprising;

at least one WEB-server wherein the WEB server is connected to one or more vehicle control servers, the vehicle control servers adapted to provide vehicle information and data from respective vehicle monitoring systems to the WEB server; and

at least one WEB-browser connected to the WEB server;

wherein the WEB-server is adapted to receive information and to provide the information at least to the WEB-browser.

13. A communication system for providing information from at least one monitoring device to a service provider comprising:

a mobile telephone;

the mobile telephone including;

at least one WEB server;

at least one WEB browser adapted to communicate with the WEB server;

a database server adapted to store the information from the monitoring devices;

at least one monitoring device server adapted to retrieve information from a corresponding monitoring device; and

an external browser adapted to communicate with the WEB server in the mobile phone and receive requested information.

14. The communication system of claim 13 wherein the at least one WEB server is adapted to be connected to other servers that provide vehicle information and medical data to the WEB server.

15. The communication system of claim 13 wherein the WEB server is adapted to respond to a service provider request received via the WEB browser by extracting data and information from the database server corresponding to the request.

16. A mobile telephone for receiving and communicating information received from monitoring devices comprising:

a transceiver unit; and

a microprogram control unit coupled to the transceiver unit, the microprogram control unit comprising;

at least one WEB server; and

at least one WEB browser, wherein the WEB server and the at least one WEB browser are coupled to each other;

wherein the microprogram control unit is coupled to one or more interactive monitoring devices.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein the mobile telephone is coupled to a medical electronic system, the medical electronic system including medical monitoring devices adapted to transmit data to the mobile telephone and wherein the data is received by the WEB server and stored in the database.

18. The system of claim 16 wherein the mobile telephone is coupled to a vehicle electronic system, the vehicle electronic system providing vehicle data to the microprogram control unit, wherein the WEB server is adapted to access the data.

19. The system of claim 16 wherein the WEB server is connected to one or more other servers that provide data from respective monitoring systems to the web server.
