Abstract: A method for transferring information from a sender to a recipient during a telephone call between a sender communication apparatus and a recipient communication apparatus is provided. The method comprises detecting, by the recipient communication apparatus, that the recipient is subjected to a noisy environment; converting a voice message, originating from the senders voice and recorded by the sender communication apparatus, into a text message; and displaying, at a display of the recipient communication apparatus, the text message to the recipient.

Abstract: A method includes establishing a circuit switched call with an automated answering system at a destination, the destination having a communication server associated therewith, transmitting a request to switch to Internet Protocol (IP) communication to the automated answering system, receiving an IP request acknowledgement message from the communication server responsive to transmitting the request to switch to IP communication, and establishing an IP communication session with the communication server responsive to receiving the IP request acknowledgement. Systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

Abstract: According to an example method implemented by an imaging device, an image is recorded of a subject to which a wearable computing device is secured. Responsive to the recording, the imaging device wirelessly receives data from the wearable computing device. The data includes an identifier of the wearable computing device and biometric data of the subject. The identifier and biometric data are embedded as metadata in the recorded image.

Abstract: A method in a system for sending a picture from an electronic mobile device to an electronic device is provided. The picture is to be sent over a wireless communications network. The system comprises the electronic mobile device, the wireless communications network, and the electronic device, and the electronic mobile device comprises a camera unit. The camera unit captures a high resolution picture. The electronic mobile device creates a low resolution picture based on the high resolution picture. The electronic mobile device sends the low resolution picture to the electronic device, and, when a quality of resources in the wireless communications network is above a threshold, sends the high resolution picture to at least one database for storage. Further, such a system is provided.

Abstract: A tracking device may transmit a distress message including a tracking device identification to one or more wireless communication device(s) using a wireless communication protocol. Responsive to receiving the distress message, a wireless communication device may transmit a reporting message to an emergency location server. The wireless communication device may transmit information relating to at least one location of the wireless communication device to the emergency location server. The distress message, reporting message, and/or the transmission of information relating to at least one location of the wireless communication device may be automatic, without user input, and/or user notification.
