Abstract

Impact detection mobile communication device comprises;

a portable user carry on mobile wireless communication device containing an impact detection sensor used for detecting user bodily impact condition, and

a built-in GPS receiver used for receiving GPS location signals, and

a speaker and a microphone used in conjunction for user two way voice communication,

an RF transceiver used for establishing wireless communication with a monitoring station, and contains a processor.

The mobile communication device processor in response to received impact condition signal, sends a signal to the transceiver to transmit a signal containing information to the device ID, impact condition detection along with GPS location co-ordinances to a monitoring station through wireless communication network, and opens two way voice communication link between the communication device user and the monitoring station operator, the monitoring station operator based on received signals determines the impact condition velocity and dispatch'"'"'s rescue personnel to impact detection device user location.

Claims

1. Impact detection mobile communication device comprises;

a portable user carry on mobile wireless communication device containing an impact detection sensor used for detecting user bodily impact condition and send said detected impact condition signal to said communication device processor,

a GPS receiver used for receiving GPS signals and feed said received GPS co ordinance signals to said communication device processor, and

a speaker and a microphone used in conjunction with said processor to provide user two way voice communication with a monitoring station,

an RF transceiver used for establishing wireless communication between said communication device and said monitoring station,

said mobile communication device processor in response to received impact condition signal, sends a signal to said communication device transceiver to transmit an RF signal containing information to said communication device ID, to said impact condition detection along with communication device GPS locations co ordinance to said monitoring station through wireless communication network, and opens two way voice link between said communication device user and said monitoring station operator, said monitoring station operator based on received impact condition signal and received GPS co ordinance signal determines said impact condition velocity and accordingly dispatch rescue personnel to said communication device user location for assistance.

2. Impact detection mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said impact detection mobile communication device processor upon detecting said impact condition signal opens automatic or monitoring station controlled two way voice communication between said device user and monitoring station operator, for said operator to provide needed assistance.

3. Impact detection mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said monitoring station received impact condition GPS co ordinance signal may contain hi velocity impact or may contain no velocity accordingly said monitoring station operator determines the received impact condition signals caused by user involve in a hi velocity vehicle accident or no velocity impact caused by said user falling.

4. Impact detection mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 wherein said mobile communication device may contains a camera, said mobile communication device upon detection of impact, said device processor activates said mobile communication device camera and transmits captured video images to said monitoring station to provide visual information to said monitoring station operator.

5. Impact detection mobile communication device as claimed in claim 4 wherein said monitoring station may transmit RF signals to said mobile communication device to wirelessly control said mobile communication device camera functions to provide desired video images to said monitoring station operator for visual assistance.
