APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TRACKING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS IN RESPONSE TO AN ACTIVATION EVENT

摘要

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.
