Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A communication apparatus comprising:
 a computer;   a transmitter for transmitting wireless signals in communication with the computer;   a memory in communication with the computer;   a global positioning system (GPS) or location tracking system for determining the apparatus' location;   a display in communication with the computer; and   an operational screen that appears on the display as a screen after the apparatus is turned on or woken up or only after the computer is asleep or not when the computer receives an incoming call or an incoming text or an alarm goes off in the apparatus, the operational screen is the screen through which the computer can be activated and performed by the computer after the apparatus is turned on or woken up or only after the computer is asleep or not when the computer receives an incoming call or an incoming text or an alarm goes off in the apparatus, the operational screen having an arrival icon which when selected causes the computer to send with the transmitter a text stored in the memory to at least one remote contact stored in the memory along with location information from the GPS where the apparatus is currently located, the text indicates that the user has arrived at a destination.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the operational screen includes a medical icon which, when selected, causes the computer to send a medical text with medical information stored in the memory to at least one medical contact stored in the memory along with the location information. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the operational screen includes a custom icon which, when selected, causes the computer to send a customized text of customized information stored in the memory to at least one remote customized contact stored in the memory with the location information. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the custom icon is an alert icon, which when activated, causes the computer to send a text that alerts at least one remote customized contact of an alert. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the memory has a medical dialog box in which a text that is to be transmitted when the medical icon is activated is entered and a phone number to which the text in the medical dialog box is to be sent is entered. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the memory has a custom dialog box in which a text that is to be transmitted when the custom icon is activated is entered and a phone number to which the text in the alert dialog box is to be sent is entered. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the computer sends the text regarding arrival to multiple contacts at once stored in the memory along with the location information. 
     
     
         8 . A method for communicating comprising the steps of:
 displaying an operational screen on a display of an apparatus after the apparatus is turned on or woken up or only after the computer is asleep or not when the computer receives an incoming call or an incoming text or an alarm goes off in the apparatus, the operational screen is the screen through which the computer can be activated and performed by the computer after the apparatus is turned on or woken up or only after the computer is asleep or not when the computer receives an incoming call or an incoming text or an alarm goes off in the apparatus, the operational screen having an arrival icon which when selected causes the computer to send with the transmitter a text stored in the memory to at least one remote contact stored in the memory along with location information from the GPS where the apparatus is currently located, the text indicates that the user has arrived at a destination; and   selecting an arrival icon on the operational screen which causes the computer to send with a transmitter of the apparatus a text stored in the memory to at least one remote contact stored in the memory along with location information from a GPS or location tracking system where the apparatus is currently located, the text indicates that the user has arrived at a destination.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  including the step of activating an information icon on the display so a series of dialog boxes appear on the display. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9  including the step of updating on a remote server information in at least one of the dialog boxes.
