In particular, there can be more than one sensor here, for example in order to be able to sense different acceleration directions in the vehicle. This includes, for example, the front and side direction, including front and side impact situations or offset impact situations, so-called offset
- the sensors 7 Crashes to identify. It is then possible for the sensors 7 to be arranged at an angle.
- a rotation rate sensor can be used to identify a rollover process around the vehicle's longitudinal or transverse axis or to identify a spin process around the vehicle vertical axis. Roll-over situations can, however, also be detected solely by acceleration sensors.
- the sensor device 7 already emits a digital signal to the evaluation circuit 6, which is preferably a microcontroller here.
- the sensor arrangement 7 not only has a measuring amplifier for processing the sensor signals, but also an analog-digital converter in order to transmit digital signals to the processor 6.
- the processor 6 now carries out a threshold value comparison of the sensor signals received by the sensor arrangement 7 with a threshold value stored in the memory 8. If this threshold has been exceeded, this indicates an impact. If the sensor signal is below the threshold value, an impact cannot be assumed. This is the easiest way to evaluate.
- threshold values can be used here, in particular also for sensor signals from different sensors, which are arranged in different directions.
- An adaptive threshold can also be used here.
- the vehicle registration number and / or the number of vehicle occupants can be specified here.

- an emergency call is made on a set transmission frequency or a transmission frequency band.
- the position of transmitter 1 is also specified in the emergency call. This is determined by means of the locating device 6 and the antenna 11, which here is a satellite-based locating system which has the required accuracy. Alternatively, it is possible to determine the location as precisely as possible by evaluating mobile radio signals in a mobile radio cell.
- the evaluation of the sensor signals can alternatively also be carried out on the processor 5, that is to say in the mobile telephone 1 itself. As the cell phones keep getting more
- Memory 8 to the processor 5. It is also possible that when the transmitter 1 is inserted into the receptacle 2, the data stored in the memory 8 are initially transmitted to the processor 5 in order to then integrate them directly into the emergency call in an emergency situation. It is also possible for the user to input data by means of the input device 9 if the mobile telephone 1 has already been inserted into the Aufnalime 2. This data is then taken over directly by processor 5. Alternatively, it is possible for the input device 9 or the display 10 to be used on the mobile telephone 1 itself. This then saves additional components in the receptacle 2.
- the receptacle 2 can be made of plastic or of metal with the appropriate insulation to ensure the electrical functionality.
- the reception of the transmitter 1 can be secured by a locking mechanism so that it cannot be released in the event of an impact in order to avoid endangering the vehicle occupants from a flying bracket or the transmitter.
- the mobile phone 1 is expediently secured with a cover in the holder.

- the receptacle 2 has fixations 16 for inserting the mobile telephone 1, which can be designed differently. They can be arranged rigidly, for example to enable the mobile telephone 1 to be fixed via a spring mechanism, or else elastically in order to achieve a corresponding clamping effect.
- the mobile phone 1, as shown here, has the typical
- a hands-free device can also be provided here.
- the cover 17, which is applied to the receptacle 2 via the mobile telephone 1, has an area 18 which can be designed as an input device and an area 19 which can be designed as a display.
- the display can be an optical display or an additional one
- Loudspeaker to be able to issue voice commands.
- the input device can be a keyboard or a microphone in order to be able to enter voice commands.
- the evaluation is then carried out by electronic components, such as the processor 6 in the receptacle 2.
- the mobile phone 1 can be designed as a telematics-capable device. This enables a user to use not only the emergency call function shown here, but also other services: telematics services, such as navigation services or weather information or travel information or entertainment offers.
