1. An emergency call device of a vehicle for the transmission of an emergency call during a voice connection, said emergency call device having:
- a detection unit for capturing measurement data of the vehicle;
a speech detection unit for detecting an audible input of an occupant of the vehicle;
a control unit for converting the captured measurement data into a first voice signal by media conversion;
a communication unit for transmitting an emergency call, which includes the first voice signal and a second voice signal corresponding to the audible input of the occupant of the vehicle, to a receiver;
wherein the communication unit alternately transmits the first voice signal and the second voice signal during the voice connection so that the first voice signal is;
a) transmitted during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal not being detected by the speech detection unit, andb) buffered during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal being detected by the speech detection unit and transmitted by the communication unit.

18. A method for the transmission of an emergency call from a vehicle during a voice connection, said method comprising the steps of:
-
capturing measurement data of the vehicle; detecting an audible input of an occupant of the vehicle; converting the captured measurement data into a first voice signal by media conversion; transmitting an emergency call including the first voice signal and a second voice signal corresponding to the audible input of the occupant of the vehicle to a receiver, wherein the communication unit alternately transmits the first voice signal and the second voice signal during the voice connection so that the first voice signal is; a) transmitted during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal not being detected, and b) buffered during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal being detected and transmitted.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium which stores a computer program product which, when executed on a processor prompts the processor to perform the following steps:
-
capture measurement data of a vehicle; detect an audible input of an occupant of the vehicle; convert the captured measurement data into a first voice signal by media conversion; transmit an emergency call during a voice connection, the emergency call including the first voice signal and a second voice signal corresponding to the audible input of the occupant of the vehicle to a receiver, wherein the communication unit alternately transmits the first voice signal and the second voice signal during the voice connection so that the first voice signal is; a) transmitted during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal not being detected, and b) buffered during the voice connection in response to the second voice signal being detected and transmitted.
