Apparatus and System for Generating Emergency Vehicle Record Data
First Claim
1. A restraint control module, comprising:
- a transceiver in communication with a vehicle computer system, wherein the vehicle computer system is configured to communicate with a mobile device;
a processor in communication with the transceiver, the processor configured to;
1.) record an encoded event data record;
2.) receive vehicle information from one or more vehicle sensors;
3.) determine an emergency vehicle event based upon the vehicle information and a pre-defined threshold;
4.) send the encoded event data record to the mobile device via the vehicle computer system when an emergency vehicle event has occurred; and
5.) instruct the mobile device to send the encoded event data record to an emergency-service provider.

Abstract
A first illustrative embodiment includes a restraint control module includes a transceiver in communication with a vehicle computer system, wherein the vehicle computer system is configured to communicate with a mobile device. The restraint control module also includes a processor in communication with the transceiver. The processor is configured to record an event data record, receive vehicle information from one or more vehicle sensors, determine an emergency vehicle event based upon the vehicle information and a pre-defined threshold, send the event data record to the mobile device via the vehicle computer system when an emergency vehicle event has occurred, and instruct the mobile device to send the event data record to an emergency-service provider.
