Abstract

Systems, methods and devices for the communication of emergency information are disclosed. A subscriber to an emergency information data base places an emergency call. The communication device used by the subscriber sends an identifying message in a variety of formats, allowing an emergency response system to access the emergency information data base through a variety of means to obtain, for example, the medical history of the subscriber. Alternatively, the communications device has direct access to the data base. The communication device has a variety of features to enhance the communication of emergency information.

Claims

1. A system for the communication of information stored in a subscriber data base to an emergency response system, comprising:

a subscriber communication device having the ability to communicate a decodable message including at least one of an available plurality of associated subscriber data base access codes; and

a communication link between the subscriber communication device and the emergency response system allowing the subscriber communication device to transmit the decodable message to the emergency response system, whereby the emergency response system can assess the subscriber data base.

2. The system as defined in claim 1 wherein the subscriber data base access codes comprise a plurality of communications device identification codes.

3. The system as defined in claim 1 wherein at least one of the subscriber data base access codes comprises a personal identification code.

4. The system as defined in claim 3 wherein the personal identification code comprises at least one of a driver'"'"'s license number, social security number and a subscriber selected security code.

5. The system as defined in claim 1 wherein the subscriber communication device is selected from the group consisting of a telephone, a cellular telephone, a pager, a portable computer and a desk computer.

6. The system as defined in claim 1 wherein each of said data base access codes is associated with a plurality of subscriber data bases of a plurality of individuals at a single geographical location.

7. The system as defined in claim 6 wherein said data base access codes are selected from the group consisting of a single telephone number, a single pager number, a single computer code, a security code, and a single social security number or driver'"'"'s license number of one person normally located at the geographical location.

9. The system as defined in claim 1 further including at least one of a hardware component and a computer software program disposed in said communications device enabling receipt of the decodable message.

8. A system for the communication of information, stored in at least one of a plurality of subscriber data bases, to an emergency response system, comprising:

a communications device having the ability to communicate a decodable message including at least one of an available plurality of data base access codes associated with a single geographic location where a plurality of individuals are congregated on a regular basis; and

a communication link between the communications device and the emergency response system allowing the communications device to transmit the decodable message to the emergency response system, whereby the emergency response system can access and have available for emergency use all of the subscriber data bases for the plurality of individuals at the single geographic location.

10. A system for the communication of information, stored in at least one of a plurality of subscriber data bases, to an emergency response system, comprising:

a communications device linked to a communications system that can determine at least one of a plurality of identification numbers associated with said communications device;

means for providing at least one of a plurality of said identification numbers to access one of the plurality of subscriber data bases, thereby enabling emergency personnel to obtain emergency information in said data bases.

11. The system as defined in claim 10 wherein said communications device can transmit one of said identification numbers associated with a plurality of individuals.

12. The system as defined in claim 11 wherein said communications device is disposed at a fixed location.

13. The system as defined in claim 11 wherein said communications device is transportable and remains nearby at least a portion of the plurality of individuals.

14. The system as defined in claim 10 further including at least one of a hardware component and a computer software program disposed in said communications device enabling receipt of the emergency information.
