Two way portable emergency communicator device, system and method
Devices, systems and methods for providing a two-way portable and wearable emergency communicator for allowing users capability to with a press of a button/switch to contact a local 911 dispatch operator instantly without going through a subscriber network and also provide GPS (global positioning system) data to the 911 dispatch operator. The devices can directly and instantly contact local 911 emergency contact numbers. With the press of a button GPS coordinates of the device can also be sent as text messages to the local 911 emergency contact.
1. A portable and wearable emergency communication device for a user, comprising:
a handheld waterproof casing for allowing the device to be submersible up to approximately 1 meter underwater, and up to 30 minutes submerged;
a transmitter inside of the casing for contacting a local 911 operator;
a single button switch on the casing activates the transmitter for contacting the local 911 operator;
a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card module in the casing for storing an international mobile subscriber identity (MSI) number, the SIM card for communicating through a cellular or IOT (internet of things) network;
a speaker in the casing for allowing the user to hear audio from the local 911 operator;
a microphone for allowing the user to speak directly to the local 911 operator;
a rechargeable battery for providing power to the transmitter, speaker and microphone;
a GPS (global positioning satellite) module in the casing for providing location coordinates of the device to the local 911 operator;
an attachment opening in the casing to allow the device to be attached to one of: a lanyard, a belt clip, and/or garment clip or another accessory; and
an actuation mode that includes depressing the button automatically dials the local 911 operator to initiate a two-way call between the user and the local 911 operator, wherein the device instantly connects to the local 911 operator; and another actuation mode to contact a third party by at least one of phone or text message, if at least one of the device, and the user is travelling over a selected speed.
