Abstract

The present invention relates generally to an apparatus, system and method of transmitting coded messages electronically using a mobile communication device to transmit coded messages identifiable by pre-programmed or programmable buttons associated with icons corresponding to the coded messages being transmitted.

c. communications means electronically connected to a computer processor positioned within the mobile communication device;

d. computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor and operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(i) receive selection of at least one icon for transmission of a corresponding coded message to at least one message recipient;

(ii) convert the selected at least one icon into the corresponding coded message;

(iii) display the converted coded message on the mobile communication device's at least one displaying means;

(iv) display list of the at least one message recipient for the converted coded message;

(v) receive selection of the at least one message recipient; or

(vi) transmit the converted coded message to the at least one message recipient.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor are further operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(a) activate the mobile communication device for the receipt or transmission of electronic communications;

(b) receive incoming electronic communications from a sender;

(c) push notification of the incoming electronic communications to the mobile communication device's displaying means;

(d) display confirmation of transmission of the coded message; or

(e) respond to the incoming electronic communications in any one or more of the following manner: voice, text or termination of the incoming communication.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the incoming electronic communications may include any one or more of the following: text, call, or data.

4 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein push notification further comprises notifying the user of the incoming electronic communications by any one or more of the following means: audio, text or graph.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising of a coded message application comprising of computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor that are operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(a) launch an application program for transmitting the at least one coded message to the at least one message recipient; or

(b) display a plurality of icons on the mobile communication device's at least one displaying means.

6 . The apparatus of claim 5 , further comprising a virtual touch-screen keyboard configured to receive the selection of the at least one icon for transmission of the corresponding coded message to the at least one message recipient.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising of displaying means that includes any one of the following: a liquid crystal display screen, a light emitting diode display, touchpad or touch screen display.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the communication means are operative to transmit or receive electronic communications.

9 . A system comprising of:

a. a mobile communication device, which is a network enabled computer device configured for communicating over a communication network;

b. a computer processor positioned within the mobile communication device;

c. computer executable instruction code readable by the mobile communication device's computer processor and operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(i) receive selection of at least one icon for transmission of a corresponding coded message to at least one message recipient;

(ii) convert the selected at least one icon into the corresponding coded message;

(iii) display the converted coded message on the mobile communication device's at least one displaying means;

(iv) display list of the at least one message recipient for the converted coded message;

(v) receive selection of the at least one message recipient; or

(vi) transmit the converted coded message to the at least one message recipient.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor are further operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(f) activate the mobile communication device for the receipt or transmission of electronic communications;

(g) receive incoming electronic communications from a sender;

(h) push notification of the incoming electronic communications to the mobile communication device's displaying means;

(i) display confirmation of transmission of the coded message; or

(j) respond to the incoming electronic communications in any one or more of the following manner: voice, text or termination of the incoming communication.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the incoming electronic communications may include any one or more of the following: text, call, or data.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein push notification further comprises notifying the user of the incoming electronic communications by any one or more of the following means: audio, text or graph.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the incoming electronic communications may be responded to by any one or more of the following manner: voice, text or termination of the incoming electronic communications.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one icon corresponds to at least one programmable button positioned on the mobile communication device.

15 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising of a coded message application comprising of computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor that are operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(c) launch an application program for transmitting the at least one coded message to at least one message recipient; or

(d) display a plurality of icons on the mobile communication device's at least one displaying means.

16 . The system of claim 9 , further comprising a virtual touch-screen keyboard configured to receive the selection of the at least one icon for transmission of the corresponding coded message to the at least one message recipient.

17 . A method comprising of:

a. providing a mobile communication device, which is a network enabled computer device configured for communicating over a communication network;

b. providing a computer processor positioned within the mobile communication device;

c. providing computer executable instruction code readable by the mobile communication device's computer processor and operative to perform any one or more of the following:

(i) receive selection of at least one icon for transmission of a corresponding coded message to at least one message recipient;

(ii) convert the selected at least one icon into the corresponding coded message;

(iii) display the converted coded message on the mobile communication device's at least one displaying means;

(iv) display list of the at least one message recipient for the converted coded message;

(v) receive selection of the at least one message recipient; or

(vi) transmit the converted coded message to the at least one message recipient.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the computer executable instruction code readable by the computer processor are further operative to perform any one or more of the following:
