ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, system and method for enabling individuals to communicate with each other to discuss predetermined topics of interest (e.g., health and fitness, weather, politics, science, etc.). In one embodiment, a mobile communicator enables a user to communicate with other participants on various predefined topics within a predetermined range of the device (e.g., five to ten miles). The mobile communicator includes a full-duplex transceiver which is able to send and receive signals on one or more channels, each channel corresponding to a predefined generic topic of interest. The mobile communicator further includes a channel selector operatively coupled to the transceiver for selecting a particular one of the transceiver channels and a corresponding discussion topic. In an illustrative application, the user selects a channel and may then participate in a discussion whose topic or subject matter corresponds to the selected channel. In this manner, the present invention enables users to participate in group discussions according to topic while the participants/users are engaged in a mobile activity, such as biking, driving, jogging, etc.
