Abstract: A controlling party can set limitations on a controlled party's access to applications operating on the controlled party's wireless mobile communication device. The controlling party can effectuate these limitations via various different mechanisms. In one instance, the controlling party uses another wireless communication device to effectuate the limitations. In another instance, the limitations are effectuated by the controlling party's operation of a data processing apparatus connected by a wired data communication bus to the controlled party's wireless mobile communication device. In a still further instance, the controlling party effectuates the limitations by accessing a website supported by a web server.

Abstract: A router receives data packets from a remote M2M device and routes all or a portion of the data to one or more servers for further processing. Routing is determined based on the application layer data (data or data type) within the packet. For example, in a GPS tracking device, the data packet (or certain data within the packet) is routed to a first server when the data is of a first type or according to specific rule governing routing based upon some attribute.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that include provisioning a target device coupled to a wireless network. These systems and methods include a provisioning server coupled to the wireless network and a target update coupled to the provisioning server. The provisioning server includes instructions relating to the configuration of the target device. In addition, these systems and methods include a server coupled to the target update and a provisioning user interface coupled to the server that is operable to create parameters for a software update and transmit the parameters to the server. The server is operable to communicate the parameters to create the target update, and the target update is transmitted through the provisioning server and the wireless network to the target device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for provisioning a position monitoring device. The position monitoring device may include a wireless communication modem and a first serial port. A provisioning device may be coupled to the position monitoring device through a serial connection. The provisioning device can include a memory, a second serial port, and a processor. In some embodiments, the provisioning device initiates an automatic configuration of the wireless communication modem through a series of attention commands.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that relate to providing information about an item available for sale. This item is selected for purchase by a buyer, and the location information of the buyer and seller are exchanged. As the buyer approaches the seller, the location of the seller is reported to the buyer. The sale can be completed upon the arrival of the buyer to the seller.

Abstract: The present invention provides a modular designed CompactFlash interface for voice and data applications. The present invention provides the advantages of attachments, such as a keypad, that attach to a PDA and give the PDA the ability to provide a wireless voice handset. Other attachments include a small screen attachment that gives pager/PDA-like interfaces for data transmission and/or retrieval.

Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a system (700) and device (200) that integrate the advantages of a paperless day planner portfolio with a paper-bound day planner portfolio to create a wireless day planner portfolio system (700). The system (700) generally includes an interface (410), a communication device (430) and a data entry system which may be located on a computing device (710).
