A group of electronic communications devices like cellular phones, for example, can be programmed with similar identification data and audible announcements. When the phones come into close proximity with each other, they verify that they have common identification data, and then emit audible messages. For example, when two Georgia Tech fans can program their cellular phones with the &ldquo;Tech identifying code&rdquo;. The first may program &ldquo;Go Jackets&excl;&rdquo;, while the other may program &ldquo;Sting 'em&excl;&rdquo;. When the fans' phones come into close proximity in a crowd, their phones acknowledge each other by recognizing the identification code. Once verified, the first phone would emit &ldquo;Go Jackets&excl;&rdquo; while the second emits &ldquo;Sting 'em&excl;&rdquo; Alternatively, the phones could play parts of the Georgia Tech fight song, with one phone starting the chorus with &ldquo;I'm a Ramblin' Reck from Georgia Tech . . .&rdquo; and the other following with &ldquo;. . . and a helluva engineer&excl;&rdquo;

Musical telephone with near field communication capabilities

A system and method for controlling the interior temperature within a vehicle. In a preferred embodiment of the system, the system responds to increases in exterior temperature by reducing the interior temperature of the vehicle passenger compartment. The system preferably includes a temperature sensor within the passenger compartment and a microprocessor programmed to respond to signals from the temperature sensor. The microprocessor operates to roll down windows and/or engage a fan or air conditioning unit until a desired and comfortable temperature is achieved within the passenger compartment. The user can pre-program the system with settings that are stored in a memory or use factory default settings. A moisture sensor can also be coupled to the microprocessor to respond to rainy conditions. In one alternate embodiment, a two-way paging and cellular network module is included to contact the vehicle operator when the system is engaged. In another alternate embodiment, the system is programmed to increase the interior vehicle temperature in response to decreases in the exterior ambient temperature by engaging the heater unit of the vehicle.
