EMERGENCY ALERT FEATURE ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method in a data processing system for automatically establishing a connection with an emergency services server, the computer implemented method comprising computer implemented steps of:
- responsive to receiving an emergency signal from a mobile communication device, establishing by a communications server a connection with the mobile communication device;
receiving by the communications server location data, audio input data, and visual input data from the mobile communication device;
retrieving by the communications server personal data for an owner of the mobile communication device from a storage device connected to a network;
establishing by the communications server a connection with an emergency services server automatically for a current locale of the mobile communication device; and
transmitting by the communications server the received emergency signal, location data, audio input data, and visual input data from the mobile communication device along with the retrieved personal data for the owner of the mobile communication device to the emergency services server for use by emergency service personnel.

Abstract
A system for automatically establishing a connection with an emergency services server. In response to receiving an emergency signal from a mobile communication device, a connection with the mobile communication device is established by a communications server. Location data, audio input data, and visual input data from the mobile communication device is received by the communications server. Personal data for an owner of the mobile communication device is retrieved by the communications server from a storage device connected to a network. A connection with an emergency services server for a current locale of the mobile communication device is automatically established by the communications server. Then, the emergency signal, location data, audio input data, and visual input data received from the mobile communication device, along with the retrieved personal data, is transmitted by the communications server to the emergency services server for use by emergency service personnel.
