Abstract
A personal safety monitoring system (100) can include a safety monitoring device or vehicle monitoring device (120) operatively coupled to a first short range transceiver (122) for monitoring operational safety parameters of a vehicle (118). The system can further include a wireless communication device (101) such as a cellular phone that includes a wide area network wireless transceiver (102) for communication over a wide area network (114), a second short range transceiver (105) operatively coupled to the wide area network wireless transceiver, and a processor (114) coupled to the wide area network wireless transceiver and the second short range transceiver. The processor can be programmed to establish a communication link with the safety monitoring device using the second short range transceiver and communicate a signal using the wide area network wireless transceiver to a predetermined address if at least one predetermined threshold is exceeded by the safety monitoring device.
