Abstract
Abstract An emergency call system includes a wireless telecommunication network having predetermined radio channels, at least one wireless emergency call transmission device for reading emergency data and transmitting the data in an emergency call message on at least one of the radio channels, and at least one emergency call receiver device. The at least one emergency call receiver device receives and evaluates the emergency call message, and triggers at least one alarm function and/or further conducts the emergency data to an alarm center connected to the wireless telecommunication network. The system may also be embodied in a wire-bound network.

An emergency call system comprising: a wireless telecommunication network having predetermined radio channels; at least one wireless emergency call transmission means for reading emergency data and transmitting the data in an emergency call message on at least one of the radio channels; and at least one emergency call receiver means for receiving and evaluating the emergency call message, and at least one of: triggering at least one alarm function, and further conducting the emergency data to an alarm center connected to the wireless telecommunication network; wherein the at least one wireless emergency call transmission means comprises: a card reader for reading the emergency data from a memory card.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
An emergency call system comprising: a wireless telecommunication network having predetermined radio channels; at least one wireless emergency call transmission means for reading emergency data and transmitting the data in an emergency call message on at least one of the radio channels; and at least one emergency call receiver means for receiving and evaluating the emergency call message, and at least one of: triggering at least one alarm function, and further conducting the emergency data to an alarm center connected to the wireless telecommunication network; wherein the at least one wireless emergency call transmission means comprises: a card reader for reading the emergency data from a memory card.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 1, wherein the at least one wireless emergency call transmission means further comprises: a signal-processing element disposed downstream of the card reader, for preparing an emergency call message using the emergency data; and an HF transmission element disposed downstream of the signal-processing element for transmitting the emergency call message on a predetermined channel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 2, wherein the at least one wireless emergency call transmission means signal-processing element creates the emergency call message according to a signal format which is predetermined in a service or mobile radio system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 3, wherein the signal format is a TDMA format.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
54 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 2, wherein the at least one wireless emergency call transmission means signal-processing element is connected to a satellite radio receiver in order to determine position, which satellite receiver determines actual position data, and wherein the signal-processing element links the emergency call message with these position data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 2, wherein the memory card is a patient chip card on which medical data of a patient is stored, and wherein the card reader reads the medical data as emergency data to create the emergency call message.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 2, wherein the at least one emergency call transmission means comprises switching means, connected to the signal-processing element, for linking the emergency call message with an identification corresponding to a given alarm category and for determining the alarm functions to be triggered.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
57 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 7, wherein the memory card is configured so that it assumes at least two different inserted positions in the card reader, the at least two different inserted positions each determining an alarm category, wherein the respective inserted position causes at least one of the switching means to be switched.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
36 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 2, wherein the at least one emergency call transmission means comprises a wireless device having a portable housing which includes a carrying frame and an antenna integrated therein.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 1, wherein the wireless telecommunication network having predetermined radio channels comprises one of: a service, and a mobile radio network.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
45 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 1, wherein the memory card is a patient chip card on which medical data of a patient is stored, and wherein the card reader reads the medical data as emergency data to create the emergency call message.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
126 words
An emergency call system comprising: a wire-bound transmission network having at least one available message channel; at least one wire-bound emergency call transmission means for reading emergency data and an identification number of the emergency data and transmitting the data and identification number together in an emergency call message on the message channel; and at least one emergency call receiver means for receiving and evaluating the emergency call message, and at least one of: triggering at least one alarm function, and further conducting the emergency data to an alarm center connected to the wireless telecommunication network; wherein the at least one wire-bound emergency call transmission means comprises: a card reader for reading the emergency data and identification number of a person calling from a memory card.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
126 words
An emergency call system comprising: a wire-bound transmission network having at least one available message channel; at least one wire-bound emergency call transmission means for reading emergency data and an identification number of the emergency data and transmitting the data and identification number together in an emergency call message on the message channel; and at least one emergency call receiver means for receiving and evaluating the emergency call message, and at least one of: triggering at least one alarm function, and further conducting the emergency data to an alarm center connected to the wireless telecommunication network; wherein the at least one wire-bound emergency call transmission means comprises: a card reader for reading the emergency data and identification number of a person calling from a memory card.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
31 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 12, wherein the wire-bound transmission network is at least one of: a telecommunication network, and an electrical energy-supply network having predetermined message channels.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
55 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 12, wherein the at least one wire-bound emergency call transmission means further comprises: a signal-processing element, disposed downstream of the card reader for creating an emergency call message using the emergency data and the identification number, and transmitting the emergency call message on a predetermined message channel.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
46 words
The emergency call system as defined in claim 14, wherein the memory card is a patient chip card on which medical data of a patient is stored, and wherein the card reader reads the medical data as the emergency data to create the emergency call message.
