Method and system for active chip in a battery

摘要

Methods and systems provide an active chip configured for connection to the battery or other component of a host mobile communication device, such as a cellular phone, to thereby add functionality to the host mobile communication device. The system may be installed and used for covert operations (i.e. military and/or law enforcement), adding features such as location tracking and voice recognition and recording to monitor the movement and use of the host mobile device covertly. The system may be used to communicate with other locally enabled systems on a local network instead of communicating through the cellular network, or operate as a radio transceiver or “push-to-talk” device such as a “walkie-talkie.” It may be used as a “kid tracker” location tracking device, to find a lost host mobile device, lost person carrying the host mobile device, or track locations where a host mobile device has been.

主权项

1. A data processing system for augmenting functionality of a mobile communication device, comprising:
a removable battery configured to power the mobile communication device; and an integrated circuit attached to the removable battery, detachable from the removable battery and configured to add one or more additional functions to the mobile communication device, wherein the one or more additional functions comprises providing voice recognition to recognize any human voice and recording voice on the mobile communication device only when one or more human voices are recognized, wherein the integrated circuit is detachable from the removable battery.
