Emergency communication system utilizing available radio frequencies and telephone lines
First Claim
1. An emergency communication system comprising:
- a transceiver for sending information from a location to an emergency response system;
the transceiver being connected to a standard phone network;
the transceiver operative to send signals over a standard phone network to the emergency response system;
the transceiver further comprising a receiver for receiving information via radio frequency signals, the transceiver having a unique electronic identification number;
the emergency response system also having the unique electronic identification number and operative to send radio frequency signals to the transceiver;
the transceiver using the electronic identification number in determining the relevancy of radio frequency signals received from the emergency response system;
the transceiver generating a response action when relevant radio frequency signals are received from the emergency response system; and
the transceiver further operative to transmit information to the emergency response system combined with the electronic identification number.

Abstract
An emergency communication system includes a combined transmitter and receiver device (transceiver) that transmits information from a residential or business location to an emergency response system, which in turn sends signals and communications to the transceiver via radio frequency (RF) signals. The transceiver performs certain functions in response and according to data transmitted by the emergency communication system. The transceiver device is connected to a standard telephone network and allows data to be processed by sending signals over the phone line. The transmitter device also acts as a receiver, as it is able to receive radio frequency (RF) signals. The RF signals can be sent from an emergency response system, or other types of notification networks. This emergency communication system thereby operates as a two way communication system utilizing current telecommunication technology.
