Abstract
A portable-mobile personal security system and method for a vehicle includes establishing a telephone call (407) from a portable radiotelephone (101) through a mobile radiotelephone (109). The telephone call established from the portable radiotelephone (101) is aborted (413) when a sensing device (119) indicates an emergency condition. Then, an emergency telephone call is made to an emergency-call center (415) through the mobile radiotelephone (109). While the emergency telephone call is in progress, a geographic position of the vehicle is transmitted to the emergency-call center (417). Additionally, a display (110) on the portable radiotelephone (101) displays status information about the emergency telephone call.
