Abstract

A method for establishing a rescue system by integrating a positioning system with a mobile phone is disclosed. The method includes steps of a) setting a database in the mobile phone, b) transmitting an emergency signal to the positioning system according to the database when the mobile phone receives an emergency command, c) identifying a location of a dispatcher when the emergency signal is received by the positioning system, and d) transmitting a rescue signal from the mobile phone to a rescue unit.

Claims

1. A method for establishing a rescue system communicated with a positioning system in an urgent situation in a mobile phone, comprising steps of:

a) setting a database in said mobile phone;

b) transmitting an emergency signal to said positioning system according to said database when said mobile phone receives an emergency command;

c) identifying a location of a dispatcher when said emergency signal is received by said positioning system; and
