METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMITTING DATA USING AUTOMATED VOICE WHEN DATA TRANSMISSION FAILS DURING AN EMERGENCY CALL
First Claim
1. A vehicle communication system, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to;
receive at least one emergency condition detection signal;
receive vehicle parameter data indicating one or more vehicle parameters;
use data transmission signaling to transmit a wireless communication to an emergency response center, the communication indicating the vehicle parameter data; and
if the data transmission signaling has failed after a predetermined threshold, convert at least a portion of the vehicle parameter data to speech signals and communicate the speech signals to the emergency response center over a voice channel.

Abstract
A vehicle communication system enables one or more processors to receive indication that an emergency event has taken place from an emergency detection sensor position throughout the vehicle. An emergency condition detection signal may be automatically sent by a detection sensor, or manually sent by a vehicle occupant pushing an emergency assistance button. The processor may receive vehicle parameter data indicating one or more vehicle parameters including, but not limited to, vehicle global position coordinates. The processor may transmit a communication to an emergency response center that an emergency has been indicated at the vehicle. The vehicle parameter data may be transmitted to the emergency response center using a data transmission signal. If the data transmission signal has failed transmission after several attempts, the processor may convert at least a portion of the vehicle parameter data to speech signals and communicate the speech signals to the emergency response center.
