- the wireless communication device 10 served by the base stations 130 may also communicate with computers 124 and other devices 122 connected to the Internet.
- the core network 105 may include communication servers, such as a Short Messaging Service (SMS) servers 102 and/or Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) servers 103. These servers may provide a variety of teleservices and data services to wireless communication devices. SMS allows wireless communication devices 10 and 132 to send and receive short text messages.
- SMS Short Messaging Service
- WAP Wireless Application Protocol
- Messages originating from, or terminating at, a wireless communication device 10 in the network 100 are stored in a message center 102 within the core network 105.
- the message center 102 is a store-and-forward device or system that is used to support teleservices like cellular messaging.
- the typical interfaces to the message center 102 allow direct dial-in access, computer interface for e-mail delivery to phones, or human operator input for paging services.
- Mobile-originated SMS messages are initially forwarded to the message service center 102 where the SMS message is stored until the message can be delivered.
- a mobile switching center (MSC) in the core network 105 searches for the targeted wireless communication device 132 and alerts the targeted wireless communication device 132 that a message is coming.
- the targeted wireless communication device 132 tunes to a designated messaging channel (typically a SDCCH channel) where it waits for the SMS message.
- the MSC (not shown) then forwards the SMS message to the targeted wireless communication device 132 on the designated channel and waits for an acknowledgement from the targeted wireless communication device 132 confirming receipt of the message. If an acknowledgement is received from the targeted wireless communication device 132 the message is removed from storage. If receipt of the message is not acknowledged, the MSC may attempt to deliver the message again.

- the contact information may further include data indicating whether the user should be prompted to confirm and/or edit a particular message corresponding to a specific contact before sending the message. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above list of notification options, and that the enumeration of options is intended merely to illustrate the flexibility with which notification messages can be sent.
- the wireless communication device 10 After notification options (if any) are entered by the user, the wireless communication device 10 prompts the user (250) for another delivery method and/or message for the current contact. The process of entering a delivery method and corresponding message (220-250) repeats until the user indicates that no more delivery methods and/or messages are required. Once the user has entered all data corresponding to a designated contact, the wireless communication device 10 prompts the user for another designated contact (260). This process (210-260) repeats until the user has entered all desired emergency contact information and exits the emergency contact function (270). It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above sequence of steps. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the above steps, or any additional steps, may be executed in a different order without departing from the scope of the disclosed invention.
- the data remains stored in memory 30 of the wireless communication device 10 until the system controller 20 receives an emergency input.
- the system controller 20 retrieves the contact information and causes the notification messages to be transmitted by the transmitter 62.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the operation of one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the system controller determines if the emergency input activates E911 services (302). If the emergency input activates E911 services, the wireless communication device 10 activates the E911 procedures (304) according to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements. These requirements are not critical to the present invention, and therefore, will not be discussed in detail.
- FCC Federal Communications Commission
- the wireless communication device 10 contacts emergency services, enabling communication to commence between the user and emergency services personnel.
- the wireless communication device 10 may also provide the telephone number and the location information to the emergency services personnel. The telephone number and location information may also be appended to any pre-stored messages to the designated contacts.
- the wireless communication device 10 completes the required E911 post-call processing (306).

- Implementing the emergency contact function (310) includes automatically accessing the contact information (312) stored in memory and notifying the designated contacts (330) according to the stored contact information.
- the wireless communication device 10 may access the stored contact information (312) and notify the designated contacts (330) according to the stored contact information concurrently with placing the E911 call (304, 306).
- the wireless communication device 10 automatically accesses the stored contact information (312) and notifies the designated contacts (330) according to the stored contact information.
- FIG. 6 illustrates exemplary emergency contact function steps (310) in further detail.
- the wireless communication device 10 accesses the contact information (312) stored in memory 30 in response to an emergency input.
- the system controller 20 determines if the user stored any notification features (314). If the user did not store any notification features for any messages, the wireless communication device 10 queues the messages (328) and sends the messages to the designated contacts according to the contact information (330).
- the system controller determines if one or more notification features require user input (316). If one or more notification features require user input, the wireless communication device 10 prompts the user (318) for the required information. The wireless communication device 10 then waits a predetermined wait period (322) for a user input. If the wireless communication device 10 does not receive any user inputs before the wait period expires, the wireless communication device 10 may queue (328) and send the messages (330) according to the stored contact information. Alternatively, the wireless communication device 10 may skip any message(s) requiring user input and send the remaining messages (not shown).
- the system controller 20 determines if an input override is active (324) for a particular message. Input override prevents a user from averting some or all of the notification messages. When input override is active, all user inputs are ignored, the message is put in the queue (328), and the message is sent (330) to the designated contact. Alternatively, when input override is active, only user inputs regarding transmission are ignored; all other messages are queued (328) and sent (330) according to the contact information. When this flag is not active, the system controller 20 queues the message (328) and sends the message (330) to the designated contact. It should be noted that implementing the emergency notification function is not limited to the above sequence of steps. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the above steps, or any additional steps, may be executed in a different order without departing from the scope of the disclosed invention.
