Abstract: A computerized method to gather, store and process data related to activities in which the person had been engaged, and to generate a natural language description summarizing the person's activities. The description can then be transmitted to a remote computer for use by various computer applications, such as a blog.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying likely future locations of a person and transmitting notifications to the person about climatic conditions. More specifically, it relates to a technique for consulting sources of information about the object's motion in combination with weather forecasts to determine whether to transmit a message to the person with an alert about the forecast.

Abstract: A technique to electronically deliver a message from a sender to an intended recipient based on tracking movement of a mobile object, including obtaining a message provided by the sender, obtaining a location designated by the sender for delivery of the message, tracking a specified mobile object having a position-determining device that determines its own current position, and which transmits its then current position at preset time intervals, determining from the transmitted current position whether the specified mobile object has reached the designated location, and initiating a procedure for automatic delivery of the message electronically to the intended recipient upon the specified mobile object being determined to have reached the designated location.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for taking, transmitting, storing, processing, distributing and using data indicative of the position of a mobile object on the Earth's surface. More specifically, the latitude, longitude and altitude for the current position of a mobile object is measured, and the data for that position is periodically transmitted along with ancillary information to a central base station for persistent storage of the data in a server. Such stored data is thus available on past and current positions of the mobile object for use by various computer applications to derive information about the object's movements.
