Abstract

The communication device which implements the target device location indicating function, the motion visual image producing function, the non-motion visual image producing function, and the auto backing up function. The target device location indicating function indicates the current location of the target device, the motion visual image producing function retrieves the motion visual image data from the camera, the non-motion visual image producing function retrieves the non-motion visual image data from the camera, and the auto backing up function transfers the data stored in the communication device to another computer for purposes of storing backup data therein.

a target device location indicating means, wherein a target device location identifying request, which is the request to identify the current geographic location of a target device which is the mobile device different from said communication device, is transferred from said communication device to a host computing system via wireless link by which a target device location data which indicates the current geographic location of said target device is produced, and a map data with the current geographic location of said target device indicated thereon is displayed on said display;

a motion visual image producing means, wherein a motion visual image data retrieved from said camera is stored in said data storing device, and said motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing device and displayed on said display;

a non-motion visual image producing means, wherein a non-motion visual image data retrieved from said camera is stored in said data storing device, and said non-motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing device and displayed on said display; and

an auto backing up means, wherein a certain data stored in said data storing device is transferred to another computer, which is the computer different from said communication device, via wireless link for purposes of storing the backup data of said certain data in said another computer.

2. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said communication device further comprises a microphone and a speaker, wherein a 1st voice data input via said microphone is transmitted via said antenna system and a 2nd voice data received via said antenna system is output from said speaker to implement voice communication.

3. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said certain data transferred to said another computer includes a phone list.

4. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said certain data transferred to said another computer includes an address book.

5. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said certain data transferred to said another computer includes a software program.

6. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said certain data transferred to said another computer includes said non-motion visual image data.

7. A system for a communication device comprising

an input means for operating said communication device,

a visual image generating means for generating a plurality of images,

a displaying means for displaying said plurality of images,

a data storing means for storing a plurality of data,

a camera means for retrieving visual images, and

an antenna means for sending and receiving wireless signals,

comprising the step of:

a function implementing step;

said communication device is capable to implement

a target device location indicating function,

a motion visual image producing function,

a non-motion visual image producing function, and

an auto backing up function;

wherein when said target device location indicating function is implemented in said step, a target device location identifying request, which is the request to identify the current geographic location of a target device which is the mobile device different from said communication device, is transferred from said communication device to a host computing system via wireless link, a target device location data which indicates the current geographic location of said target device is produced, and a map data with the current geographic location of said target device indicated thereon is displayed on said displaying means;

when said motion visual image producing function is implemented in said step, a motion visual image data retrieved from said camera means is stored in said data storing means, and said motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing means and displayed on said displaying means;

when said non-motion visual image producing function is implemented in said step, a non-motion visual image data retrieved from said camera means is stored in said data storing means, and said non-motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing means and displayed on said displaying means; and

when said auto backing up function is implemented in said step, a certain data stored in said data storing means is transferred to another computer, which is the computer different from said communication device, via wireless link for purposes of storing the backup data of said certain data in said another computer.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein said communication device further comprises a microphone and a speaker, wherein a 1st voice data input via said microphone is transmitted via said antenna means and a 2nd voice data received via said antenna means is output from said speaker to implement voice communication.

a displaying means for displaying said plurality of images,

a data storing means for storing a plurality of data,

a camera means for retrieving visual images, and

an antenna means for sending and receiving wireless signals,

including the steps of:

a target device location indicting step, wherein a target device location identifying request, which is the request to identify the current geographic location of a target device which is the mobile device different from said communication device, is transferred from said communication device to a host computing system via wireless link, a target device location data which indicates the current geographic location of said target device is produced, and a map data with the current geographic location of said target device indicated thereon is displayed on said displaying means;

a motion visual image producing step, wherein a motion visual image data retrieved form said camera means is stored in said data storing means, and said motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing means and displayed on said displaying means;

a non-motion visual image producing step, wherein a non-motion visual image data retrieved from said camera means is stored in said data storing means, and said non-motion visual image data is retrieved from said data storing means and displayed on said displaying means; and
