Benefits of technology

The invention relates to a communication system using limited interface devices, such as cell phones and computers, for improved mobile communication. The system uses iconic communication to overcome language barriers and is supported by a sparse icon set consisting of fewer than 800 elements. The set includes icons from categories such as emotions, self, and leisure. The system also has limited grammatical tools to reduce complexity of sentences. The content of the icon set can be controlled and includes a central location to add or remove concepts. The use of an icon and color based set makes it difficult to use without software support, so the system can be maintained as a condensed set of icons.

Problems solved by technology

However, the success of mobile communication is limited by inherent shortcomings of mobile devices, such as limited capabilities of text input and display, limited memory and limited bandwidth available for communication.
