System and method for presence alarming

1. A telecommunications device, comprising:

a positioning controller adapted to determine positioning information for the telecommunications device, wherein the positioning information generally corresponds to a location of a first user of the telecommunication device; and

a wireless communications controller adapted

to receive the positioning information from the positioning controller,

to transmit the positioning information to a second user monitoring the telecommunications device, the second user defining a boundary condition for the telecommunication device, and

to cause an audible alarm to be generated if the telecommunications device is determined to be beyond the boundary condition,

wherein the boundary condition comprises a warning boundary condition, the warning boundary condition including a start and threshold boundary condition, wherein the audible alarm having a first volume is generated if the telecommunications device is determined to be beyond the start boundary condition of the warning boundary condition and increases to a maximum volume when the threshold boundary condition is reached.

2. The telecommunications device in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said wireless communications controller is adapted to cause the positioning information to be transmitted to an associated administration device when the telecommunications device is determined to be beyond the boundary condition.

3. The telecommunications device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the positioning controller receives Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to determine the positioning information.

4. The telecommunications device as recited in claim 3 , wherein said wireless communications controller is a cellular telephone controller.

5. The telecommunications device as recited in claim 3 , wherein said wireless communications controller is a personal communications service (PCS) controller.

6. The telecommunications device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the boundary condition includes a geographic, date, daily routine, speed or time-of-day range or a combination thereof.

7. The telecommunications device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the positioning controller is adapted to receive the boundary condition via said wireless communications controller.

8. A telecommunications system, comprising:

a wireless device including a positioning controller and a communications controller, wherein the positioning controller is adapted to determine positioning information for the wireless device which generally corresponds to a location of a first user of the wireless device, the wireless device is adapted

to receive the positioning information from the positioning controller,

to transmit the positioning information to a second user monitoring the telecommunications device, the second user defining a boundary condition so that the telecommunications device is not beyond the boundary condition defined by the second user, and

to cause an audible warning to be generated if the telecommunications device is determined to be beyond the boundary condition,

wherein the boundary condition comprises a warning boundary condition, the warning boundary condition including a start and threshold boundary condition, wherein the audible warning having a first volume is generated if the telecommunications device is determined to be beyond the start boundary condition of the warning boundary condition and increases to a maximum volume when the threshold boundary condition is reached; and

an administrative device for receiving the positioning information for the second user.

9. The telecommunications system in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the positioning controller receives global positioning network signals for determining a position of the wireless communications device.

10. The telecommunications system in accordance with claim 9 , wherein the communications controller comprises a cellular network controller for transmitting on a cellular telephone network to the administrative device.

11. The telecommunications system in accordance with claim 8 , wherein the administrative device is adapted to display location information when the wireless device is determined to be beyond the boundary condition.

12. The telecommunications system in accordance with claim 11 , wherein the boundary condition is associated with one or more of a geographic range, time-of-day range, daily routine, speed range or date range.

13. A telecommunications method, comprising:

providing a wireless device which includes a positioning controller adapted to determine positioning information for the wireless device, wherein the positioning information generally corresponds to a location of a first user of the wireless device;

programming the wireless device with a boundary condition defined by a second user monitoring the wireless device;

transmitting the positioning information to the second user;

generating an audible warning if the wireless device is determined to be beyond the boundary condition, wherein the boundary condition comprises a warning boundary condition, the warning boundary condition including a start and threshold boundary condition; and

generating the audible warning having a first volume if the wireless device is determined to be beyond the start boundary condition of the warning boundary condition and increases to a maximum volume when the threshold boundary condition is reached.

14. The telecommunications method in accordance with claim 13 , further comprising transmitting one or more alerting signals to an administrative device when the wireless device is determined to be outside the boundary condition.

15. The telecommunications method in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the administrative device comprises a telephony device.

16. The telecommunications method in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the one or more alerting signals comprise one or more e-mail signals.

17. The telecommunications method in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the one or more alerting signals comprise one or more Instant Messaging signals.

18. The telecommunications method in accordance with claim 14 , wherein the boundary condition is associated with at least one of geographic range, daily routine, time-of-day range, speed range or date range.
