AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT:
The patentability of claims 1-18 is confirmed.
1. A handheld device for use in conducting operations in the field and for the management of data during operations in the field, comprising:
a memory for storing programs including at least one field data management program and related data, wherein programs stored in said memory enable a user to: find a field location, collect data at the field location, wirelessly access remote resources while at the field location, provide data to a remote resource, and retrieve data related to the operation from said remote resource;
a microprocessor for executing programs including said at least one field data management program, wherein execution of said program includes execution of programming instructions enabling a user to: find a field location, collect data at the field location, wirelessly access remote resources while at the field location, provide data to a remote resource, and retrieve data related to the operation from said remote resource;
a display for viewing field related data, mapped direction to field locations and third party information retrieved from the Internet;
a wireless communication module for providing access to the remote resources for access to data and support from remote personnel and to enable a user of the handheld device to obtain data including field operation instructions, real-time guidance and access to third party information in support of a field operation from the Internet using said handheld data management device;
a positioning and navigational means for determining the handheld data management device location and providing navigable directions to the user of the handheld data management device on a map, thereby enabling the user to find a field location; and
a user interface adapted for enabling the user to interact with the handheld device, said programming instructions and said at least one field data management program.
