Patent Images
1. An identification card apparatus (ICA), in communication with a cell tower and a distal entity, comprising:
- a visual unique identifier of a user;
a position identification circuitry configured to derive a set of location coordinates of the ICA;
a communication circuitry configured to operate a two-way voice communication between the ICA and the distal entity through a communication network; and
a dedicated tactile panic control interface operable by the user configured to initiate both the two-way communication and communicate the set of location coordinates to the distal entity, all upon actuation of the panic control interface, wherein the dedicated tactile panic control interface comprises an interface requiring a pre-defined number of squeezes on the body of the ICA to activate, and wherein the pre-defined number of squeezes comprises a number greater than one.
