APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAINTAINING PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for updating a communications network from one or more user communications devices. PSOLUTION: The invention uses electronic scheduling or other time-based features within a communications device so as to control and/or initiate transmission of information between the communications device and a communications network. Information from one or more communications devices is updated to the communications network in response to time-based components in information entries corresponding to a timing device associated with the respective communications device. Also, once the network has received this updated information, comparisons of related information entries are initiated to detect discrepancies therebetween. In this manner, user submitted time and geographic location information is compared with similar information automatically retrieved by the communications network using conventional and future network communications technology. Any detected discrepancies are used to initiate appropriate notification to the user and/or retrieve updated information, or to default to existing message delivery systems.
