Abstract: An instantaneously executable application on a smart phone or mobile device immediately reports an event, such as being attacked by an assailant, to engage help; or a news event that needs instantaneous reporting and recording. When the application is active, the pressing of two buttons on the mobile device instantly triggers the taking and sending of a picture or a video. In addition, the application appends the location, time of day and/or a pre-recorded audio file to the picture/video data and transmits the complete message to a preprogrammed destination or set of destinations. The message can be delivered via text message, email, or any other communication mechanism available on the phone. The message can be carried over any cellular network, the Internet, or both, and may be carried via a cellular link, Wi-Fi Radio, Bluetooth Radio or any other Internet connection including a hard wired Ethernet connection.
