Problems solved by technology

Despite the abundance of devices, however, there are few ways of individually restricting the usage of each device or a group of devices within a master account.
Accordingly, each device is managed as a single account with its own bill and control over the device is limited to the user of the device's willingness to abide by rules set out by that user's supervisor.
However, few such handsets are available on the market.
Such devices may not even have a dialing pad with which to call a specific number not available in the device's phonebook.
Such a device would clearly have limited appeal to an adult and much less to a child as he or she grows older and becomes increasingly subject to the peer pressure of adolescence.
Additionally, there are no options to configure the device to allow calls to certain numbers on specified days or timeframes, or to limit calls to a specified talk time, for example.
As such, the device is typically not associated with a contract or account, thus limiting a supervisor's ability to review the time usage of the device.
Furthermore, IP communication in general does not carry a mobile device's phone number.
These and other deficiencies exist with conventional mobile communication systems and methods of operation.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0032]FIG. 1 shows a component view of a consumer configurable mobile communications system, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Turning to FIG. 1, the configurable mobile communications system includes a patrol module 110, a control module 120, and a media module 130. According to one embodiment, the patrol module 110, control module 120, and media module 130 are servers configured to provide the functionality of the present invention. In further embodiments, the servers may be contained within a single physical computer server or distributed across a network.

[0033]The patrol module 110 provides a user interface, such as a web interface, to allow a primary user to access and configure device restrictions for secondary users associated with a group account including primary and secondary user devices. The patrol m...
