The IP enabled device is monitored for one or more emergency criteria. If the emergency criteria are satisfied, global positioning data is obtained using the GPS capability and the emergency IP request is sent to an address server. The address server receives the emergency IP request, obtains local emergency services data based on the global positioning data, dials a call center station based on the local emergency services data and passes an emergency call from the IP enabled device to the call center station. This invention can be implemented as a computer program embedded in a computer readable medium wherein the steps are performed by one or more code segments. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus, comprising: a first sensor configured to detect a medical condition related event; a second sensor configured to generate GPS location information; a database with information for remote service providers; and a processor configured to receive a signal from the first sensor, the second sensor and the database, select the remote service provider based in part on the GPS location information and to communicate event information in conjunction with the GPS location information to the remote service provider. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to communicate particular event information in a message that is embedded with the GPS location information, the particular event information associated with the medical condition related event or indicative of the medical condition related event. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the medical condition related event is associated with a vital sign of a user of the first sensor, and wherein the processor is further configured to, in response to receiving the signal, communicate particular event information indicative of the vital sign. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to enable or facilitate voice communication with the remote service provider. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to select a default remote service provider. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to send the GPS location information to an emergency services provider. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the signal is associated with an emergency criteria corresponding to one or more of: a fire, a collision, heat, smoke, vital signs, carbon monoxide, a police signal, an ambulance signal, or an emergency medical service signal. ### Claim 8 A method, comprising: detecting a medical condition related event at a first sensor; generating GPS location information at a second sensor; identifying a remote service provider at a database based in part on the GPS location information; receiving, at a processor, a signal from the first sensor, the second sensor and the database; and communicating event information in conjunction with the GPS location information to the remote service provider. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the communicating includes sending the GPS location information using an Internet Protocol. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the communicating includes sending emergency criteria. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising initiating, by the processor, voice communication with the remote service provider. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising accessing a database to retrieve information associated with the remote service provider, wherein the event information is communicated to the remote service provider using an Internet Protocol. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein the signal is further associated with an emergency criteria corresponding to one or more of: a fire, a collision, heat, smoke, vital signs, carbon monoxide, a police signal, or an ambulance signal. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising sending, by the processor, the GPS location information to an emergency services provider. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to initiate or perform operations comprising: detecting a medical condition related event using a first sensor; generating GPS location information using a second sensor; identifying a remote service provider at a database based in part on the GPS location information; receiving a signal from the first sensor, the second sensor and the database; and communicating event information in conjunction with the GPS location information to a remote service provider. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise utilizing an Internet Protocol to communicate the event information in conjunction with the GPS location information to the remote service provider. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise utilizing an Internet Protocol to send emergency criteria to the remote service provider. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise enabling voice communication with the remote service provider. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the signal is associated with an emergency criteria corresponding to one or more of: a fire, a collision, heat, smoke, vital signs, carbon monoxide, a police signal, an ambulance signal, or an emergency medical service signal. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise communicating the event information utilizing an Internet Protocol.
