Abstract

The cellular search system to promote personal or commercial contacts is characterized by constituting a search (17) system (15, 16) to be used by any cell phone user (13) endowed with a device number and a tower number composing the user's identifier code, which may be-a-user registered (13) within the system and duly listed (11 , 12) by completing a set of information with proven veracity or rigorousness of the data according to the application used. The user's registration code enabled for this system (15, 16) as well as itemized information composes the preference code with regard to the candidate. The registration endowed or not with a photo is carried out through definitions of diverse criteria, and uses the information itemized by the user in order to generate one or more codes that compose the user's registration. The search (17) is performed in the data base (14) of the network comparing the search codes (5) and generating the meeting (21 ) by cell phone with diverse candidates selected (18), firstly from the closest to the standard (19) and then to the candidates less related (22).

Description

CELLULARSEARCHSYSTEWI

This descriptive report refers to a request for an Invention Privilege for a CELLULAR SEARCH SYSTEWi that is unique and revolutionary and which has the purpose of uniting people, products, services and other interests or needs, to be used by any cell phone user that is duly registered and listed with a search system, which by defining several criteria uses the information given by the user to perform a search and generate a meeting with diverse candidates located and whose rigorousness of the data requested is regulated in accordance with the application used by the search system - a system that is relatively simple but secure since the current official control regulations require the user's registration by appearing personally and presenting the user's documents, thus filtering the well-intentioned users and blocking those that may act in bad faith, making this system secure and able to satisfy the current needs and demands of the consumer market.

The cellular telephone is a great invention that has benefited many people since its technology reaches diverse communities and markets never dreamed of, even by computers or the internet itself, the reason for which it prospers and becomes ever more indispensable. However, it has made available very few use alternatives since its concept is strongly tied to conversation between users that already know each other.

The principle of cell phone communication is that each cell (tower) is connected to a network through its adjacent cells, thus forming a network that covers a large territorial area without the need to interconnect directly with a distance phone central - two devices' communication through cells by the shortest path available. Each cell phone is identified by its number and security codes that it forwards in transmission data packages, among other information. In addition, the cell code is also forwarded through which the network is accessed in order for the system to create and maintain the transmission paths between two devices.

Up to now, this resource for identifying antenna use is not taken advantage of and is generally used by the provider that may then identify needs for increasing the network (by tower), or by the police that may use it to locate cell phones being used by criminals (by triangulation of 3 or more towers).

In a cellular telephone communication with GSM technology for example, communication is made directly between two cellular phones through antennas without necessarily having to use resources from a phone central. This facility allows less use of the operator's network resources and also makes the data flow through the network lighter.

Such communication uses antennas that are close by, commonly called transmission towers that can cover small areas from a few meters to greater distances of several kifometers. The search system can make use of this characteristic according to the need for a type of search that the user desires to make such searches close to the physical location of the user for only the areas close to an antenna, thereby adjusting the search inside an establishment, shopping center, neighborhood, zone, city, state, region or country. In a similar manner, one may specify the search criteria for a specific location according to the application used.

Having taken into account the technical characteristics of this technology, it seems viable to create new type of services that explore these possibilities and preferably, do not generate new needs for equipment, technology or devices.

The idea was to broaden applications for the cellular communications system, aiming for a real application for users and that contributes to increasing use of the cell phone and therefore the minutes of speaking time, the operators' primary objective, in addition to promoting a differential and innovative system between cell phone communication provider companies that after innumerable surveys and results from diverse and repeated studies, the inventor, a person interested ana connected to the area, created and developed the object of this patent, which along general lines and in a summarized manner, consists of a computerized search system generating and manipulating data bases containing the user's descriptive and preferential criteria, forming search codes with the purpose of uniting people, products, services and other interests and needs and to be used by any cell phone user who is duly registered and listed in a search system, which after defining several criteria uses the information given by the user to perform a search and generate the meeting of several candidates founds whose rigorousness of the data found is regulated according to the application used by the search system, which is a relatively simple, low cost system, however allied to security and practical use.

As an example of the use and application of the search system we may cite some services that would be made viable through this system, among which are:

1) Emergency specialists - aiming to facilitate locating specialists such as physicians, ambulances, firemen, police and similar persons qualified to attend to such needs by special codes in emergency situations where any user at the location of the occurrence would access the search for such specialists available at the time and in a nearby area. Such a situation would produce a call, possibly free, where the user could explain the occurrence and call 5 the specialist to the location, as well as receive instructions for how to proceed until the their arrival or some type of assistance.

2) Local service providers - service providers such as taxis, key makers, mechanics and towing services that are available and qualified to provide such service - in the user's proximities would be w located by the search since the condition of availability would be that the provider may answer the call even after business hours, far from their business base and only when they can actually serve the user. For this there is the possibility of paying for such services by transferring credit between the user's cell phone account to the

15 provider, thereby anticipating situations in which the user is unprepared or unable to pay by conventional means.

3) Delivery - within the area of the tower where the user is physically located, which may be expanded according to the type of product/service and according to the establishment's range, a user 0 may find and communicate with the location of choice among the search results, requesting information, address or making a request for products or services. Such transaction may also include a method of transferring funds as in the example mentioned above.

4) Meeting people - based on a personal data search such as 5 weight, height, color of eyes and hair, education, among other characteristics, in which each user will have registered his/her personal data and those of preference, the search system would find candidates for making a meeting for each user according to such preferences, but also whose characteristics satisfy those preferences of the other user found. The user would choose from a list from which he/she would send a message requested a meeting call. Such a search could also show the candidate's photograph according to the possibilities of the cell phone devices.

5) Purchasing and selling products - this search system application would have registration options for users who offer (sales) and for users that are seeking (purchases) diverse products or items such as automobiles by make, model, year, color, etc.; real estate property (for sale or rent) by neighborhood, number of bedrooms, number of car spaces, area build and price (by category), etc.; even young animals by breed, sex, color, price (by category), age, if it has pedigree papers, etc. In such searches the user who seeks the item may receive on cell phone's display the options whose offers are suitable to the search criteria and a list of these options would appear as well as attaching the details and a photograph of the item for the user to make a better choice, then it could perform the communication for a meeting to negotiate such item. All of the possible search system applications should have available some practical and efficient method for editing data according to the application used, such as by messages, lists or menu options in the actual cell phone device; computer access to online services, such as on the Internet; by consumer service support; or any other method for optimizing the data coherence, veracity and standardization.

Jn addition, this search system has the good dose of security since in addition to being common to have a prior registration of the owner of the cell phone by the operator (the agreement for using the number, for example), in certain cases of application it would be important to have a more detailed and documented registration of users and companies qualified and registered in the system's data base.

Therefore, this Invention Patent constitutes a CELLULAR SEARCH SYSTEM, the system developed with perfection and efficiency with the intention of achieving the aforementioned objectives and offering reliability through the truly innovative functional and high performance characteristics providing huge improvements that promote and personalize, being totally distinct from the technical status and providing security, agility and efficiency.

However, in order to best understand and elucidate the detailed description below, illustrative drawings have been attached that as follows;

- Figure 1: Exemplification of the data structure;

- Figure 2: Exemplification of the method of editing data and registering the user to be able to use the search system in order to meet people;

- Figure 3: Search system flowchart.

According to the illustrations and in their details the CELLULAR SEARCH SYSTEM proposed herein constitutes a search (17) system (15 and 16) to be used by any cell phone user, however, endowed with a device number (3) and tower number (4) composing the user's identifier code (2), which may be a user registered (13) with the system and duly listed (11 and 12) by completing a set of information (9) thus composing the user's registration (1) with proven veracity by means of documentations as well as information itemized by the same containing the user's registration code (6) and preference code (7) for that which the same wishes to find, thus composing the search registration (5) to be used in the data base (14) and therefore in the search execution (15 and 16), whether being a partner, service, product and others, and this registration (5) endowed or not with a photo (8) and carried out through definitions of diverse criteria (10), uses the information itemized by the user (12) that has the search system enabled (13) in order to generate one or more codes (6 and 7), which are made available to the system by network whose central in a few seconds performs the search (16 and 17) in its data base by comparing the codes (2 and 5) generated, attempting to find the user's codes and candidates that if not identical are similar and enable the meeting (21) of the several candidates found (19 and 22), whose rigorousness of data and results found (17) and regulated according to the application used by the search system (15 and 16), presenting firstly the candidates selected (18) the closest (19) to the desired standard and lastly the least related (22), that is, with only some of the desired characteristics, and depending on the user's interest (12), become immediately available for conversation (21) with a candidate (20) for the meeting generated (17), or in case the same was not satisfactory, visualize the next candidate (22) from the selection performed or even if some candidate at first has satisfied or awakened curiosity and wishes to converse with the same, after the conversation (21) the user may return to the system (18) and request the next candidate (19 and 22) which, if the same so desires, may also converse (21) and so on. Although the user is registered (11 and 12) in application's data base, the same may enable or disable the system in order to perform the desired search or leave the same (25) by deactivating the service (13) when leaving the covered area or disconnecting the cell phone (24) without affecting the cell phone's normal functions (23).

This CELLULAR SEARCH SYSTEM may be used for personal relationships - that is, introducing people to other people whose characteristics and desires are as close and compatible as possible or in business relationships, whether between people, companies or among companies offering the purchase and sale of products, services or business - also with the possibility of allowing the transfer of funds from one cell phone account to another.

This descriptive report deals with a new concept in CELLULAR SEARCH SYSTEiVI and as may be seen has shown innumerable advantages due to the differences regarding the conventional methods in existence and use, as well as constructive and functional characteristics that are completely new for the technical status.

Therefore, having described and illustrated in the best manner in order solidify this invention, innumerable modification and variations in the form of realization, the same may be readily introduced by those who understand the technique since the system petition herein may have infinite applications.
