  • Publication number: 20140308915
    Abstract: A notification and tracking system for a mobile device. The system includes a mobile device application that is adapted to be stored in memory of the mobile device. The application, upon activation, determines the GPS coordinates of the mobile device, records digital images over a period of time, sends a present message from the mobile device to at least one recipient, preferably an emergency responder, such as a security monitoring station, and sends the GPS coordinates and the digital images. The coordinates and images may be sent to a remote server for storage and which can be accessed by the emergency responder. The coordinates and images are periodically updated and sent while the program is activated.
