To facilitate comprehension of the current disclosure frequently used acronyms and or abbreviations used in the prior art and/or in the current disclosure are highlighted in the following LIST of acronyms:
The field of the invention includes wire and wireless communication, broadcasting, entertainment, remote control, medical diagnostics, emergency and alarm, interactive touch screen, fingerprint controlled communication and control systems for single or multimode communications, broadcasting, teleinformatics and telemetry systems.
The disclosed subject matter is for multiuse and or multipurpose applications, devices and systems, including systems for: position determination, location finding based services and applications, remote control, wireless, wire, cabled, internet, web based communication systems, communicator devices, radio frequency identification (RFID) systems with single or plurality of devices, emergency and other alarm systems, medical patient monitor-sensor devices, medical diagnostics devices, fingerprint identification, fingerprint control, interactive communication or control of communications and control systems, communications, broadcasting, teleinformatics and telemetry systems.
Prior art references disclose position location, tracking and communication devices. Exemplary prior art includes: U.S. Pat. No. 6,865,395, U.S. Pat. No. 6,889,135, U.S. Pat. No. 6,879,584, U.S. Pat. No. 6,876,859, U.S. Pat. No. 6,876,310 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,842,617. From the prior art it is known that it is often desired, and sometimes necessary, to know the position, that is, the location of a wireless user. For example, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered an enhanced emergency 911 (emergency 911 or enhanced emergency E-911) wireless service that requires the location of a wireless terminal (e.g., a cellular phone) to be provided to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) each time a 911 call is made from the terminal. The recognized need for improved personal security and emergency response capability has been documented in the prior art. In situations where an individual is injured, lost, or abducted, immediate notification of an emergency situation including location of the emergency to a local law enforcement or emergency response organization is required to maintain the safety of the individual and to mitigate or avoid severe and or tragic situations.
In addition to emergency situations, there is also a recognized need for improved personal healthcare and in particular patient monitor and other diagnostic systems. Patients are often confined in a fixed area to cabled (or tethered) monitoring equipment. An illustrative, cited prior art reference, published by Baisa, N.: “Designing wireless interfaces for patient monitoring equipment”, RF Design Magazine April 2005, highlights that recent advances in wireless technologies now make it possible to free patients from their equipment, allowing greater freedom and even making possible monitoring by their health provider while the patient is on the go. The position of a wireless terminal may be estimated using various techniques including “range-domain” and “position-domain” techniques as well as other techniques and/or combined hybrid techniques.

Multiuse wireless communication applications, having extended coverage, improved performance, seamless interoperability, high speed operation, enhanced capacity, multipurpose, multi functionality, multi-mode and multi-standard interoperability are highly desired. The current application discloses multiuse and or multipurpose applications, devices and systems, including systems for: position determination, location finding based services and applications, remote control, wireless, wire, cabled, internet, web based communication systems, communicator devices, radio frequency identification (RFID) systems with single or plurality of devices, emergency and other alarm systems, medical patient monitor-sensor devices, medical diagnostics devices, fingerprint identification, fingerprint control, interactive communication or control of communications and control systems, communications, broadcasting, teleinformatics and telemetry systems.
Most multi-media and video services require bandwidths and or other multiuse capabilities that transcend the capabilities of currently operational second generation 2G and or third generation 3G cellular service providers. Hence, many wide bandwidth applications and services that are rapidly evolving, for example, on the Internet, have not to date readily and widely accessible cellular and cellular interconnections to mobile wireless users via wireless local area networks (WLAN) and/or other wideband networks. New systems and end user devices or units are being contemplated that provide for or include, respectively, high bandwidth short range networking capabilities, using WLAN technologies such as IEEE 802.x_ or Bluetooth. These links may allow mobile handsets to establish Internet attachments when they approach a network access point (NAP). These WLAN based systems may create an opportunity for these untethered devices to enjoy high bandwidth services, once reserved for fixed devices. However, the WLAN systems only provide short range coverage, are not widely deployed, or do not provide for user mobility and hence are not generally suitable of providing enhanced services for mobile users over a wide area. It is desirable to develop multiuse, multi-mode, multi standard interoperable technologies which integrate the capabilities of cellular, infrared (IR), satellite, wide area network (WAN) and WLAN systems to provide complete end-to-end enhanced services. This can be achieved by modulation format selectable (MFS) and bit rate agile (BRA) multi-mode, multiuse interoperable systems. Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) systems and Wi-Fi embodiments are included and integrated with other implementation architectures in the current disclosure. The terms Wi-Fi or wireless fidelity or related terms, used in this application, are for systems such as IEEE 802.x_standardized systems and are to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether IEEE 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.16, 802.20 dual-band, etc. The term Wi-Fi is also used as promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance and has also broader interpretations; alternative terms to Wi-Fi, such as UWB/W-USB, ZigBee, NFC and WiMax are also used and included in the embodiments of this invention.
Nowadays it is not unusual that in an individual has a cellular phone, a pager, about three or more remote control (RC) devices e.g. one or more RC for one or more television sets, for VCR for satellite channel TV set, garage opener, car opener, portable FM radio, video camcorder, computer, PDA, multiple cordless phones and other electronic devices. It is overwhelming just to keep track of all of these devices. Thus, consolidation or integration of many devices, units into one multipurpose or multiuse unit would be desirable.
To enable the implementation of efficient multiuse communication devices for single or multiple information signals and communications between and within multiple standardized and a multitude of non-standardized systems, between a large class of communication and control transmission-reception media, such as wireless (e.g. cellular, land mobile, satellite), cable, Fiber Optics Communication (FOC), internet, intranet and other media there is a need to have adaptable or agile systems and adaptable embodiment structures. Such structures including Intermediate Frequency (IF) and or Radio Frequency (RF) agile, Bit Rate Agile or Bit Rate Adaptable (BRA), Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) and or Modulation Embodiment Selectable (MES) systems are disclosed. The multiuse modulator-demodulator (modem) and or modulator and or demodulator implementations, disclosed in this application, have Intermediate Frequency (IF) and or Radio Frequency (RF) agile, that is IF adaptable and or RF adaptable embodiments. In IF and or RF adaptable or IF and or RF agile systems the center frequency of the modulated signal(s) is selectable and or adaptable to the desired transmission frequency band. The RF transmitter-receiver (transceiver) embodiments are also RF agile implementations. Several features of the multiuse embodiments are optional and are not included in some implementation structures. Some of these include the optional Bit Rate Agile or Bit Rate Adaptable (BRA) structures and or RF agile implementations and or cross-correlated and or other structures and or features. There is a need for one or more of the modulators, in certain embodiments to have BRA and or Code Selectable and or MFS and or MES implementations. The term Modulation Format Selectable (MFS), as used in this application is defined to mean that the modulation technique (modulation format) is adaptable, changeable (selectable) and also that the coding technique, if coding is used in the system is also adaptable, changeable (selectable) in certain embodiments. In some disclosed embodiments the same modulation format and same bit rate is used, however the modulation embodiment is different. For example, in an application a GMSK modulated system uses a Quadrature Modulation (QM) structure for low transmit power applications, while for a high transmit power application it uses a non-quadrature modulation (NQM), e.g. polar implementation structure. Thus, in this example the same GMSK modulation format, having the same bit rate (or a different bit rate) is switched (or selected) to be transmitted instead in the QM embodiment in a NQM embodiment
The disclosed subject matter is for multiuse and or multipurpose applications, devices and systems, including systems for: position determination, location based services and applications, location finding, tracking, single or multiple tracking, Remote Control (RC), Universal Remote Control (URC), wireless, wire, cabled, internet, web based communication systems, communicator devices, radio frequency identification (RFID) systems with single or plurality of devices, emergency and other alarm systems, medical patient monitor-sensor devices, diagnostics units and systems, Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) systems, fingerprint identification, fingerprint control and or using DNA samples for interactive communication or control of certain communications and control systems, cardiac stimulation devices, systems having push to talk (PTT) options, interactive touch screen controlled communication and control systems for single or multimode communications, broadcasting, teleinformatics and telemetry systems.
The presented implementations and embodiments are for single and multiple devices in single and multiple mode systems and networks. Location finding, tracking and identification of devices, including processing of certain measured parameters or diagnostics results (via sensors, such as motion detectors, body temperature, blood pressure or other devices) are communicated to devices and units which might be at central locations and or are peers of the monitored located device and are also mobile units, e.g. mobile telephones, mobile computers such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) or laptop computers, mobile entertainment or educational devices, or mobile navigational and interactive devices, or are units at fixed locations, e.g. wire telephones or computers. Interactive location based and educational and or entertainment devices and systems for mobile wireless and or wire media or internet web media information transfer and telematics and telemetry are also included. Regarding images, pictures and video and scanned or stored images and pictures three dimensional (3D) images are included in the communications units. Certain devices have incorporated touch screens for control or communication or interaction with the communication and or display devices.

These systems, in certain applications are connected to cordless telephones and or other cordless devices. The term signal processing refers to signal and or data processing. This application includes multi operation and multi function of a plurality of embodiments of one or more of the following system components: single or multiple location finder, location tracker devices, position finder devices (note the terms “location finder”, “location tracker” and “position finder” have in several parts of this disclosure practically the same meaning), Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID), connected with single or multiple Bit Rate Agile (BRA), and single modulation or Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) satellite and/or land based devices. These multiuse system components assembled in one or more combinations and variations, also known as “plug and play”, are disclosed for operation in standardized systems, e.g. GSM, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Digital GSM Evolution (EDGE), or Evolution of GSM (E-GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA or W-CDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), IEEE 802.xx, Digital European Cordless Telecommunication (DECT), Infrared (IR), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, and other standardized as well as non-standardized systems. While, prior art wireless short range systems such as the standardized Bluetooth system provide connection to cell phone systems the prior art short range systems do not provide connection to selectable enhanced performance multi-standard, multi-mode, Modulation Format Selectable (MFS) and Bit Rate Selectable systems (also designated as Bit Rate Agile (BRA) systems) and cascaded wireless, wire and Internet Protocol (IP) and embodiments, such as described and claimed in this invention. This application includes embodiments and architectures for more efficient implementation and of enhanced performance second generation (2G), third generation (3G), fourth generation (4G) and fifth generation (5G) and other new generations of wireless and broadcast, processing, storage, medical diagnostics-communications and control, interactive entertainment and educational and business systems with or without use of internet and/or multimedia systems. The terms 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G have a broad generic meaning and are not limited to certain specific standards. These terms are interpreted, within the new inventions disclosed herein, as new generation and or enhanced performance or more efficient implementation of prior art systems.
In addition to finding lost, runaway or kidnapped humans, lost, runaway or stolen pets/animals or objects, several medical applications for patient monitoring with multi-mode wireless, wire and internet systems are also disclosed in this application. For surgery, other medical procedures and medical patient monitoring and diagnostics, hybrid wire and wireless or purely wireless systems which reduce or eliminate the cables and wires attached to human body are also described. Video broadcasting, multicasting and video conferencing technologies, in conjunction with the aforementioned technologies are also disclosed. Language translators with written and audio converted text are presented. Voice recognition systems and fingerprint recognition transmission and activation methods are disclosed.
To remove or minimize cables for patient monitoring systems new architectures, structures and embodiments for multi mode, multi standard, non standardized wireless, wire, cabled, infrared, multiple “cascaded” switched and combined solutions and systems are presented in this disclosure. This include cascade of cellular i.e. GSM or GSM switched to CDMA systems, with short range wireless systems—one or multiple such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other. Motivation for reducing the number of cables include, the desire to eliminate the cumbersome cables connected to the patient, facilitate the surgery, and facilitate and speed up the patient recovery-enabling the patient to move, exercise and improve the quality of life of the patient during surgery, recovery and post recovery monitoring and shorten emergency time response including a remote physician, nurse or other authorized health provider—in a reverse link to control-administer certain medical—pharmaceutical items, e.g. insulin or other; also to eliminate or reduce cable caused potentially harmful currents to the patient. The term reverse link means the link (signal flow) from the physician, nurse or other authorized health provider to the patient or patients medical device; the term forward link refers to the link from the patients medical device, e.g. from the cardiac stimulation device to the physician, nurse or other authorized health provider or health monitoring system.
The prior art pacemaker control requires magnet detection circuit for magnet controlled pacemaker parameters. Unfortunately this magnet dependent operation/change of parameters of pacemakers is in many cases causing difficulties and or even rendering impossible to have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and/or Magnetic Resonance Image scanning on a patient who has a pace maker. Since MRI is a frequently desired diagnostic procedure for diagnostic purposes, even in an emergency where the information from the MRI scan could be life saving, and since MRI interferes with the correct operation of currently available magnetic detection-magnetic controlled based pacemakers, it would be highly desirable to develop a new generation of pacemakers which could be operated and controlled without substantial magnetic materials, i.e. without the need of magnet based detection and magnet control.
In distinction with the prior art magnet detection circuit, in the current invention there is no need for magnet detection circuits and no need for magnet's to be placed over or into the pacemaker to reset or modify parameters and functions/operation of the pacemaker. In the current invention magnetic detection and magnet control of pacemaker is replaced by wireless signal detection and based on the detected wireless signals and processing of said wireless detected signals (received from a physician operated wireless transmitter) control signals are generated to control the parameters and operation of the pacemaker.
Wireless systems authentication with fingerprint and or other means is also disclosed.
In this application the terms “multiuse” and or “multipurpose” mean that one or more of the aforementioned applications, systems, system architectures and or embodiments or combinations of the aforementioned system components are used.

An adaptive network is a network in which the connection between various elements of the network and the communication system format are changeable, that is, they are selectable or adaptable. The adaptive network configuration, interaction between various elements, selection of signals, selection and connection of one or of a multitude of signals and or interface units and or of one or more processors is controlled by the control unit, Unit 16.24. Control unit 16.24 provides and or receives one or multiple signals through single or multiple leads 16.25 from or to Unit 16.15, from or to the Subscriber Units (SU) and or from or to one more interface units 16.1 to 16.13.

a is described in more detail in this section. While, the prior art in general and Feher's U.S. patents, e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,491,457; 6,470,055; 6,198,777; 6,665,348; 6,757,334 and Ballantyne's U.S. Pat. No. 6,906,996, assigned to Qualcomm Inc., contain disclosures of multiple modulation wireless transmitters and communication systems, the prior art does not disclose the
b is based on Lindoff et al. U.S. Pat. No. 6,101,224 and Black et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,430,416, assigned to Motorola. The illustrated non-QUAD modulation technique is also known as polar modulation, since it is based on a polar representation of the baseband signals. In this non-Quad modulator polar components i.e., amplitude (r) and phase (p) components are used, instead of in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components used in quad modulation techniques. In this exemplary prior art modulator, the source signal (or information signal) to be transmitted is present on connection 17.10. Signal processor 17.11 generates a signal amplitude component and a signal phase component. These signal components are provided to a Digital to Analog (D/A) converter and to a Phase Modulator (PM) respectively. The phase component modulates the carrier signal in a phase modulator 17.13, resulting in a phase modulation with constant envelope. The amplitude component is converted to an analog signal in a D/A-converter and then fed through a regulator (Reg) 17.14 which adjusts the current or voltage of the signal controlling the power of a power amplifier (PA) 17.15, based on the signal and the output D/A converted signal 17.12. The regulated analog signal modulates the phase modulated carrier signal in the output power amplifier 17.15 by controlling the power of the power amplifier. The resulting amplified signal is then provided for transmission.
c shows an exemplary other prior art Non-QUAD modulator. In this implementation the source signal, present on lead 17.16 is provided to a Phase Modulator (PM) or Frequency Modulator (FM), Unit 17.17. The PM and/or FM modulated signal is provided to a subsequent Amplitude Modulator (AM) and the AM modulated signal is provided to the transmission medium interface on lead 17.19.
The preamplifiers operate in a linearized or linearly amplified (LINA) mode or in a Non-Linearly Amplified (NLA) mode. One or more of the amplified signals are provided to the output connector 20.10 through optional single or multiple combiner unit 20.9.
Unit 30.7 comprises one or more transmitters or receivers and/or transmitters and receivers, also known as transceivers (T/R), for transmission and or reception of one or multiple signals connected by leads 30.8 and or 30.11 to Unit 30.10 and or Unit 30.12. The single or multiple transceivers of Unit 30.7 contain in certain embodiments one or multiple modulation format selectable (MFS) and or/code selectable embodiments, such as previously described, e.g. GSM, WCDMA, spread spectrum, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi EDGE or other system specified modulation formats. In certain embodiments of Unit 30.7 there is at least one notch filter, also known as band stop filter, having an input and output that blocks predetermined Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) signals. Unit 30.10 contains interface circuitry and or connection circuitry-leads to one or multiple antennas 30.9. Unit 30.12 is an interface connection for transmission and or reception of signals.
In prior art pacemakers, e.g. Snell's '291 patent the pacemaker further includes magnet detection circuitry. It is the purpose of the magnet detection circuitry to detect when a magnet is placed over the pacemaker, which magnet may be used by a physician or other medical personnel to perform various reset functions of the pacemaker. The prior art pacemaker control requires magnet detection circuit for magnet controlled pacemaker parameters. Unfortunately this magnet dependent operation/change of parameters of pacemakers is in many cases causing difficulties and or even rendering impossible to have Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and/or Magnetic Resonance Image scanning on a patient who has a pace maker. Since MRI is a frequently desired diagnostic procedure for diagnostic purposes, even in an emergency where the information from the MRI scan could be life saving, and since MRI interferes with the correct operation of currently available magnetic detection-magnetic controlled based pacemakers, it would be highly desirable to develop a new generation of pacemakers which could be operated and controlled without substantial magnetic materials, i.e. without the need of magnet based detection and magnet control.
In distinction with the prior art magnet detection circuit and physician or other medical personnel performed various reset functions of the pacemaker, by placing a magnet over the pacemaker, in the current invention there is no need for magnet detection circuits and no need for magnet's to be placed over the pacemaker to reset or modify parameters and functions/operation of the pacemaker. In the current invention magnetic detection and magnet control of pacemaker is replaced by wireless signal detection and based on the detected wireless signals and processing of said wireless detected signals (received from a physician operated wireless transmitter) control signals are generated to control the parameters and operation of the pacemaker.
In distinction with the prior art and with Snell's '291 patent, the current invention provides new structures and embodiments of multiuse and/or multimode wire and or wireless transmitters and receivers, without need of magnetic coupling for adjusting or resetting the parameters of cardiac stimulation e.g. heart pacemaker devices and or other medical devices. An advantage of the presented embodiments is that the stimulation devices can continue to operate even in emergency rooms or other environments where the patient is having Magnetic Resonant Imaging (MRI) diagnostic tests.
