Device for emergency signaling from a vehicle, system for emergency signaling and method of operation
First Claim
1. A device for emergency signalling from a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing,a detection device, which is arranged in the housing and adapted to detect electronic measurement information regarding an emergency state of the vehicle from one or more sensor devices, wherein the one or more sensor devices are formed in the housing, externally, or both,a data communication device which is arranged in the housing and adapted to emit data signals regarding an emergency message via a data interface, wherein the emergency message comprises at least partially the electronic measurement information, electronic vehicle state information derived therefrom, or both, anda plug-in device which is arranged on the housing and comprises a plug connector for plugging into a vehicle plug-in socket,wherein the device is adapted to conduct a plausibility check,wherein the device is switched into a sleep mode or a standby mode only if the plausibility check confirms an inactive state of the vehicle determined using the detection device,wherein the sleep mode or the standby mode minimizes or reduces to zero a current consumption of the device.

13. A method for operating a device for emergency signalling from a vehicle, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
-
providing a device for emergency signalling, which comprises a housing, a detection device and a data communication device, which are arranged in the housing, as well as a plug-in device which is arranged on the housing and formed with a plug connector, arranging the device for emergency signalling in a vehicle by plugging the plug connector into a vehicle plug-in socket of the vehicle, detecting, by the detection device, electronic measurement information relating to an emergency state of the vehicle from one or more sensor devices formed in the housing or externally, and sending data signals relating to an emergency message via a data interface of the data communication device, wherein the emergency message comprises at least partially the electronic measurement information, electronic vehicle state information derived therefrom, or both, wherein the device is adapted to conduct a plausibility check, wherein the device is switched into a sleep mode or a standby mode only if the plausibility check confirms an inactive state of the vehicle determined using the detection device, wherein the sleep mode or the standby mode minimizes or reduces to zero a current consumption of the device. - View Dependent Claims (14)
