Abstract
A mobile communication device (106) comprising a transceiver (202), and a processor (203) coupled to the transceiver. The processor is programmed to enter (304) an emergency mode corresponding to an alteration type of an element of the mobile communication device, and process (306) messages according to the emergency mode.
Claims20
In a mobile communication device (MCD) coupled to a radio communication system (RCS), a method comprising the steps of:
- altering an element coupled to the MCD;
- entering at the MCD an emergency mode corresponding to an alteration type of the element;
- and
- processing messages at the MCD according to the emergency mode.
A mobile communication device (MCD) in a radio communication system (RCS), comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is programmed to:
- enter an emergency mode corresponding to an alteration type of an element coupled to the MCD;
- and
- process messages according to the emergency mode.
A method of operating a mobile communication device (MCD), comprising:
- initiating an emergency operating mode of the MCD for providing an emergency functionality;
- and
- in response to initiating the emergency operating mode, inhibiting a normal operating functionality of the MCD.
A method of operating a MCD, as defined in claim 22, wherein initiating the emergency operating mode comprises at least one among physically altering an element of the MCD, altering a software component of the MCD, increasing the power transmissions from the MCD beyond a maximum normal level, and dispensing medicine stored in the MCD.
