The present invention provides a method of administering finances via an electronic network. The administrator creates accounts for users that the administrator wants to oversee. The administrator can supply financial parameters to configure the accounts where such financial parameters might include the amount of a recurring weekly allowance payment, an account interest rate, a list of investment instruments that the user would be allowed to transact with. The administrator is able to set interest rates and other financial parameters at their discretion and not subject to prevailing market conditions. The system automatically updates the account to keep track of allowance and interest payments. The system allows the users and administrator to record financial transactions and keep track of and view the user's balance and holdings.

Method for administering finances via an electronic network

An emergency call recognition system which is activated when an off-hook situation occurs, which recognizes when an emergency number is dialed with or without the presence of a dial tone, and which provides the caller a communication channel to complete such a call. The present invention is used to give priority to emergency telephone calls. Typically the present invention is used in wireless local loop systems, however the present invention can also be incorporated into a conventional telephone system. The present invention uses an emergency call recognition system to determine if a person is dialing an emergency telephone number. If the emergency call recognition system recognizes a dialed telephone number as an emergency telephone number, then the caller is provided with a communication channel to complete the telephone call. The caller is provided a communication channel even if all of the communication channels are in use. This is accomplished by disconnecting calls that are not of an emergency nature.

System and method for emergency call channel allocation
