Abstract
A system and combination for accessing an emergency network through a commercially available off-the-self (COTS) mobile telephony-capable computing device.
Claims8
71) An emergency communications access for a mobile user (ECAM) system comprising a combination for providing an information-carrying transmission to an audio communications channel established via an existing commercially available network between a continuously operating commercially available off-the-self (COTS) mobile telephony-capable computing device (MTCD) and one or more remote communications endpoints (RCE);
- wherein said COTS MTCD communicates with at least one of said RCEs distinct from said existing commercially available network, and wherein said COTS MTCD comprises:
- a MTCD processor, a MTCD memory, a power source, an audio interface, a wired peripheral interface, a wireless peripheral interface, a network interface, one or more programs and operating system hardware interface layers;
- said combination further comprising:
- a) one or more wireless peripheral devices communicating with said COTS MTCD, wherein at least one of said wireless peripheral devices comprises:
- an application processor, an inter-peripheral communications link, an inter-process communications link, an energy source, an antenna, and a wireless communications physical layer;
- b) one or more of said wireless peripheral devices further comprising a logical first peripheral and at least one of a plurality of logical second peripherals communicating with said inter-process communications link, said application processor and said operating system hardware interface layers;
- wherein:
- i) said logical first peripheral further comprises an audio communications means for communicating an audio signal to said COTS MTCD's outbound communication channel without communicating directly with said programs;
- ii) at least one of said logical second peripherals is capable of communicating with said programs without said audio communications means for communicating an audio signal to said COTS MTCD's outbound communication channel;
- iii) at least one of said logical second peripherals exchanges data with one or more of said programs;
- and
- iv) said first logical peripheral causes one or more of said programs, said first logical peripheral and/or at least one of said logical second peripherals in communication with said operating system hardware interface layers to generate an audio information signal representing at least one piece of information received by at least one of said logical second peripherals from said COTS MTCD such that subsequent to generation of said audio information signal, said logical first peripheral communicates said at least one piece of information to said COTS MTCD's outbound communication channel for carrying said at least one piece of information, via said existing commercially available network, to said RCE.
