METHOD FOR OPERATING AN EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEM, EMERGENCY CALL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for operating an emergency call system having at least one mobile device and a plurality of receiving stations, the at least one mobile device having at least one mobile device radio module configured to transmit an emergency call, each of the plurality of receiving stations having at least one receiving station radio module and an alarm device and being configured as a router, the at least one receiving station radio module being configured to receive the emergency call from the at least one mobile device, and the alarm device being configured to output an alarm signal, the method comprising:
- transmitting the emergency call from the at least one mobile device to a first of the plurality of receiving stations to trigger the alarm signal;
determining a position of the at least one mobile device relative to the plurality of receiving stations; and
,depending on the determined position of the at least one mobile device, selecting only one of the plurality of receiving stations to trigger the alarm signal.

Abstract
An emergency call system and a method for operating the emergency call system are provided. The emergency call system includes a mobile device and receiving stations. The mobile device has a radio module to transmit an emergency call and each of the receiving stations is configured as a router and has an alarm device and a radio module to receive the emergency call. The emergency call is transmitted from the mobile device to a first receiving station to trigger the alarm signal and a position of the mobile device relative to the receiving stations is determined. Depending on the position, only one of the receiving stations is selected to trigger the alarm signal.
