The apparatus includes an audio information access device, such as a compact disc player, for accessing audio information and generating an electrical audio information signal based upon the audio information. A transmitter generates an outgoing communication signal that is capable of reaching and being received by the emergency response service. A single emergency response switch is the user's sole means for activating the transmitter. When pressed, the emergency response switch activates the transmitter to generate the outgoing communication signal. A receiver receives an incoming communication signal from the emergency response service, and generates an audio communication signal based upon the incoming communication signal. An audio amplifier receives and amplifies the electrical audio information signal and the audio communication signal to produce an amplified electrical audio information and an amplified audio communication signal. A sound production device converts the amplified electrical audio information signal and the amplified audio communication signal into acoustical sound waves capable of being aurally perceived by the user. The apparatus includes an aural alarm, such as a siren, and a visual alarm, such as a flashing light, to alert individuals in an area surrounding the apparatus when an emergency situation exists.

    摘要: An emergency use only panic button phone provides a low cost comprehensive personal security device. The panic button phone has a large button located on a rigid housing that contains a cellular receiver and transmitter. Pressing the large button allows the user of the panic button phone to establish full duplex cellular voice communications with an emergency response center and summon emergency response personnel. Preferably, a flip top cover that is connected by hinges to the rigid housing folds over the large button and minimizes the likelihood the large button will be accidentally pressed. A global positioning device in the panic button phone provides the location of the operator to the emergency response center. A small button on the rigid housing activates a noise alarm that alerts individuals in the immediate area that an emergency situation exists. In addition, a second small button activates a radio transmitter that signals the home alarm system of the operator if the operator is near the home when the button is pressed. In response to being signaled, the home alarm system initiates appropriate security measures such as turning on the house's lights and producing an audible alarm.

    摘要: An emergency event reporting system combines emergency event detection means with a wireless beacon capable of communicating with the Cospas-Sarsat search-and-rescue satellite system. The system provides for the association of a beacon's unique identification number (UIN) with a third-party monitoring service to which the emergency event message is to be reported. In this way, civilian emergency events can be reliably handled without overwhelming limited government search and rescue resources. Several applications of the system are disclosed, which include reporting alarm messages from home and business security systems and crash alerts indicating the deployment of a vehicle air bag during a vehicle crash.
