Abstract

The present invention teaches an economical disposable emergency cellular telephone. A major object of this invention is a cellular telephone providing a self-defense capability to a user by generating high voltage shocks. A further object is a cell phone which launches projectiles to deliver the shocking voltage. A further object of the invention is a new technique for having a large number of cellular phones share the same small group of access numbers and serial numbers in order to reduce the monthly charges to zero for the end consumer. This makes it more practical to use cellular phones for data transmission and monitoring applications.

Claims (26)

1. A method of dealing with a personal security threat comprising the steps of:

packaging cellular phone circuitry together with a high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus,

connecting the cellular phone circuitry to the high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus at a shared power source,

launching electrodes towards an adversary,

delivering a high voltage shock via the high voltage self-defense shocking apparatus to the launched electrodes, and

placing an emergency assistance call via the cellular phone circuitry.

2. A cellular phone comprising a power source, a communications antenna, communications electronic circuitry, a keypad, and high voltage electronics, cooperatively connected so that the phone will generate a high voltage shock for self defense purposes but also allow normal cell phone communication which includes a switch located on the keypad side which must be at least partially lifted up from the cell phone surface to enable the generation of the high voltage shock.

3. A cellular phone comprising a power source, a communications antenna, communications electronic circuitry, a keypad, and high voltage electronics, cooperatively connected so that the phone will generate a high voltage shock for self defense purposes but also allow normal cell phone communication which the high voltage shock is delivered at least to one electrode which is launched from the cell phone.

4. A personal safety device consisting of:

a) a source of electrical power,

b) a first circuit, capable of generating a high frequency signal, connected to the source of electrical power,

c) a keypad connected to the first circuit,

d) a communications antenna connected to the first circuit,

e) a second circuit, capable of generating a high voltage, operably connected to the source of electrical power

f) a human operable switch connected to the second circuit,

g) at least one outside contact connected to the second circuit,

which includes a switch located on the keypad side which must be at least partially lifted up from the cell phone surface to enable the generation of the high voltage shock.

5. A personal safety device consisting of:

a) a source of electrical power,

b) a first circuit, capable of generating a high frequency signal, connected to the source of electrical power,

c) a keypad connected to the first circuit,

d) a communications antenna connected to the first circuit,

e) a second circuit, capable of generating a high voltage, operably connected to the source of electrical power

f) a human operable switch connected to the second circuit,

g) at least one outside contact connected to the second circuit, in which the high voltage shock is delivered at least to one electrode which is launched from the cell phone,

so that the device is capable of transmitting cellular phone signals and also defensive high voltage shocks when directed by a human operator.
