Abstract: A social media and social networking system may be accessible on Internet and mobile devices. Users in the social media and social networking system may create public and private profiles, exchange photos, and invite individuals with specific public or private personalities to join groups and networks including college networks. College students who are currently enrolled or who are alumni of an educational institution have e-mail addresses that have a common post fix of .edu. The social networking site may foster social interaction between college students. College students may register with their real e-mail address ending with a post fix of .edu. The email address defines the individual as a current registered student at a particular educational institution and generally enables the user to be authenticated as belonging to the college group. The ability to view profiles of members may be enabled to a degree of connectivity.

Abstract: A wireless communication and control system including a wireless device. There is a central server for storing communication protocols and control protocols and communicating the communication protocols and selectively communicating the control protocols between the wireless device and the central server. A communication protocol configures the system for communication and control protocols configure the system as one of a selection of intelligent appliance controllers. Alternately the control protocols configure the system as one of a selection of Internet terminals. The wireless device is any hand-held communication device, such as a hand-held computing device, wireless telephone, or cellular phone. The primary mode may switch from local office to a public carrier loop. This switching may be automatic or per specific instruction and preferences stored on a Server or in the CT/MD.

Abstract: Different networks, different cellular telephone/mobile devices (CT/MDs) and base stations coexist in a new virtual network with the ability to form many concentric overlaying networks and have the CT/MD exist in one or more wired or wireless networks simultaneously. A server such as Server C controls the communication protocols in conjunction with the network switching box or other devices, such as CT/MD. In either the base station configuration or the network box configuration, the units have the ability to take optical data and multiplex the data for wireless transmission over one or more channels, at one or more frequencies and power levels. The base station, the network box or the CT/MD may use one or more transmission protocols as deemed optimal and appropriate by the local server located in a LAN, WAN or the Internet.

Abstract: A cellular phone and mobile device is configured with the ability to accept a signature. A user may write a signature on a touch sensitive display of a mobile device using touch or a pen. A user may be further authenticated by using voice or password. The signature may be viewed on a second mobile device in real time. The signature may be synchronized with a server or an Internet device. The system may allow for multiple parties to sign an electronic document using mobile devices and Internet servers.

Abstract: A cradle adapter connection allows I/O contacts between a non-wireless device (NWD) and a wireless cradle adapter or similar wireless enabling attachment. The enabling attachment can make any non-wireless device (NWD) unit wireless enabled while being plugged into the cradle adapter, in a similar manner as shown for a cell telephone/mobile device (CT/MD), to access a number of wired, optical or wireless communication paths through the ports. The cradle adapter itself may have multiple antennas, multiple T/R units and multiple processors built-in to deliver full functionality, and it may also accommodate multiple wired or wireless devices to be plugged in at the same time. The cradle adapter may contain power ports for the individual devices in addition to the I/O ports, and it may be a passive pass through-connection enabling device or may have internal electronics to perform certain server functions to control data traffic.
