  • Cellular transmitter for automatically providing position location and emergency data
    Patent number: 6647267
    Abstract: A transmitter is provided for communicating over a cellular system. The transmitter includes a data storage device electronically storing predefined information to be communicated to a receiving station over the cellular system. The predefined information may include one or more telephone numbers to be contacted in an emergency, medical information, or any other type of information. A position finding receiver such as a global position system, for example, is provided for determining the current geographic location of the transmitter. The transmitter also includes a signal processing element for providing a signal that includes the predefined information and the current location. A transmission element receives the signal from the signal processing element and, in response thereto, transmits a cellular signal that includes both the predefined information and the current location.
