Abstract
A voice-image e-mail transmitter device that is designed for emergency and surveillance purposes is disclosed. This device converts voice signals and picture images into digital format, which are transmitted to the nearest voice-image message receiving station from where the digital signal strings are parsed and converted into audio and image files, such as “.wav” and “.jpeg” files. The generated files are attached to e-mails and delivered to pre-defined e-mail addresses and a 911 rescue team. The message information includes the caller'"'"'s voice, pictures of a potential attacker, time the message was sent and received, device serial number, and approximate location of the caller. An external camera and microphone may be connected by wire or wireless means to a CPU element in a base portion of the voice-image e-mail transmitter device. Data may be recorded and sent within seconds by simply pressing and releasing a push button on the device.
