A wireless, multi-modal access device and system adapted to integrate a number of communications networks operating in differing communication modes to facilitate transfer of communication links during a communication session to promote efficient use of the communication networks. The system includes a plurality of Universal Multi-Modal Access Devices UMMAD that are capable of operating at different frequencies and different protocols (TDMA, AMPS, CDMA, GSM, PCS etc) to communicate with any one of a number of Wide Bandwidth Gateways (WBG), which are each capable of communication using one or more of the protocols. The communication links may be switched from one WBG to another or from one protocol to another during a communication session to continue the session under the control of a Universal System Traffic Controller. Numerous other applications of the UMMADs for unique identification and e-commerce are disclosed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The subject invention is designed to build on the concepts disclosed in commonly assigned U.
S.
Pat.
Nos.
'985 and '621 (the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference) by making the entire range of telecommunications systems and services available with a minimum of effort and to provide systems and methods for automated techniques for assuring that all communications (whether voice or data or whether landline or wireless) are provided in a manner that best meets the functional desires of the user such as highest speed, highest clarity, least cost, least likelihood of interruption, highest security, or other qualities or a combination of such qualities.
The subject invention satisfies the urgent need for technology that will facilitate ease of communication, over the world wide telecommunication grid, that best meets the needs of the user for the fastest, least expensive and most reliable service.
FIG.
1 illustrates a highly schematic illustration of a world wide telecommunications system 2 designed and organized in accordance with the subject invention.
Because the subject invention is an integrative technology, much of the grid can include existing communications networks (both landland and wireless).
For example, system 2 includes a large number of personally activatable multi-modal, portable access devices 4 (which can be denoted a Universal Multi-Modal Access Device; UMMAD's) which have the ability to provide omni-modal access to a broad range of wireless service networks such as those disclosed in the '985 patent.
As will be described in more detail hereinbelow, each UMMAD 4 will include a frequency agile and protocol agile transceiver operating under digital command signals of a digital controller and memory (which stores communication protocol program sets or has the capability of receiving downloaded program sets) to allow the UMMAD 4 to access any one of a plurality of wireless networks that may be available in the geographic area within which the UMMAD 4 may be located
