First Claim
1. A mobile device for monitoring vital values of frail persons, having units for recording and analyzing the vital values, units for determining the location of a person equipped with the device, and a mobile radio transmitter and receiver for the transmission of data representing the recorded vital values of the person and his/her location determined with the aid of the units for position determination, to an emergency call number, whereby, if the monitoring function is turned on and if the units for recording and analyzing the vital values determine at least one critical vital value in said person, automatic dialing of the emergency call number stored in the device and a transmission of the aforementioned data take place, wherein the device is made up of at least two functional modules, which are set apart from one another and of which one accommodates at least the units for recording and analyzing the vital values, and one is embodied as a mobile telephone or smart phone used at least also for voice communication, and these functional modules form a master-slave system in which the mobile telephone or smart phone represents the slave mastered by the functional module having the units for recording and analyzing the vital values via a data and signal connection to which, when a critical vital value is detected, the master transmits data including the vital values and regarding the instantaneous location of the person, as well as control signals, which induce the slave to establish a connection and to transmit the data to the emergency call number.
