Abstract

The embodiment of a system for remotely controlling a wireless communication mobile phone device senses its space coordinates. GPS and other data is transmitted between mobile phones to alert and/or update a user to the fact that their phone has reached a significant threshold locations, and/or has reached a significant threshold speed of within a given accuracy. A SMS message, and/or voice message, and/or a phone call, and/or a special ring, and/or a special display and/or reset signal, and/or update signal, and/or hang-up signals are cross transmit and received to alert and/or update information of the mobile phone users. This is done for improving security and save lives, controlling classified communications, improving privacy, improving machinery performance, measuring distances and speed between mobile phones, alerting and/or updating personnel of hazardous locations and hazardous speeds, for forcing hang-up of phones at times of hazardous communications, providing space coordinates of missing persons and persons in danger, controlling air shows and car racing, and controlling military, fire and police men movement.
