Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering information include a communications network defined by at least a wireless telephone network coupled to a computer network, where the communications network is associated with a plurality of communication devices that define a group communications net. A communications manager is operable to provide a group communication session by receiving a data packet from one member of the group communications net and transmitting the data packet through the computer network to at least one of the other members of the group communications net. A message module having a plurality of informational messages is associated with the communications manager, and a delivery module is coupled to each of the message module, the communications manager, and the communications network. The delivery module is operable to monitor the group communication session and to deliver one of the plurality of informational messages to the group communications net.

Abstract: A base module provides a plurality of data connections and communications structure to interconnect a wireless communication device with one or more peripheral devices to form a modular system for communicating with a communications network. Some peripheral devices may be integral with the base module while other peripheral devices and the wireless communications device may be detachably connected to the base module to form a portable system. Therefore, the base module, peripherals and wireless communications device define a detachable and interconnectable system for wirelessly communicating with a communications network.
