Title:
LOCATION CAPABLE MOBILE HANDSET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004089032
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The location capable mobile handset allows the user to provide a call recipient with the location of an unsuccessful attempted emergency call. In one specific example, the call may be an E911 call to a PSAP dispatcher. Additionally, the call may be to a towing service, or to a family member or friend to request assistance. The call may be any call that a mobile handset user wants to send location information to the party that has been called. Returning to the E911 call example, the location information reported to dispatcher can include the location of initial E911 call, current location during a successful E911 call, or ground track information from the initial location to the current location. When an E911 call is unsuccessfully attempted, the mobile handset stores the location of the mobile handset at that time. This information can later be transmitted when the mobile handset is in a coverage area. Additionally, the mobile handset can auto-dial 911 upon entering a service area after an unsuccessful E911 attempt. Alternately the user can be prompted to initiate an E911 call when the mobile handset enters a service area.
