eCall device switching procedure
First Claim
1. A method of performing a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity where the actual state or status of the eCall device is changed from switched-on to switched off, or vice versa, characterised in that a communication link is set up between the eCall device and a control centre, that an individual communication process relating to the switching procedure is performed between the eCall device and the control centre, said switching procedure performing a switch from a first state of activity to a second state of activity of the eCall device, that a report file about the switching procedure is generated during the individual communication process and that the report file is stored within a storage unit.

Abstract
A method of performing a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity whereby details of the switching procedure are preferably stored in a report file. The report file is preferably stored in a storage unit which can be part of a database. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an eCall device being adapted for performing a switching procedure from a first state of activity to a second state of activity and relates to a backend unit being adapted for supporting a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity. Beyond the present invention relates to an eCall system being adapted for performing a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity.

12. An eCall device being adapted for performing a switching procedure from a first state of activity to a second state of activity, where the actual state or status of the eCall device is changed from switched-on to switched-off, or vice versa, said eCall device comprising an interface to a control centre for setting up a communication link between the eCall device and the control centre, means for performing an individual communication process relating to the switching procedure with the control centre, said switching procedure performing a switch from a first state of activity to a second state of activity of the eCall device, means for processing a report file about the switching procedure during the individual communication process, and an interface to a storage unit for storing the report file.

13. A control centre being adapted for supporting a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity, where the actual state or status of the eCall device is changed from switched-on to switched-off, or vice versa, said control centre comprising an interface to an eCall device for setting up a communication link between the control centre and the eCall device, means for performing an individual communication process relating to the switching procedure with the eCall device, said switching procedure performing a switch from a first state of activity to a second state of activity of the eCall device, means for processing a report file about the switching procedure during the individual communication process, and an interface to a storage unit for storing the report file.

14. An eCall system being adapted for performing a switching procedure of an eCall device from a first state of activity to a second state of activity, where the actual state or status of the eCall device is changed from switched-on to switched-off, or vice versa, said eCall system comprising at least one eCall device, at least one control centre, means for setting up a communication link between the eCall device and the control centre, means for performing an individual communication process relating to the switching procedure between the eCall device and the control centre, said switching procedure performing a switch from a first state of activity to a second state of activity of the eCall device, means for generating a report file about the switching procedure during the individual communication process, and a storage unit for storing the report file.
