1) A system for initiating an emergency communication; said system comprising one or more commercially available off-the-self (COTS) wireless peripherals (20) capable of forming a communication channel (24) with a mobile computing device (10); said mobile computing device (10) further comprising:
a) a memory capable of storing one or more programs (16) and information about one or more of said COTS wireless peripherals (20); b) a processor for managing said programs (16), wherein said programs (16) comprise at least three program codes (63) controlling said system; c) a first program code (63A) executable by said processor causing said mobile computing device (10) to:
i) enter into a wireless peripheral (20) discovery process, wherein said discovery process comprises creation of a discovery list; and/orii) retrieve a trust list of COTS wireless peripherals (20) trusted by said mobile computing device (10); d) a second program code (63B) executable by said processor causing said mobile computing device (10) to present:
i) said discovery list of wireless peripherals (20) discovered during said wireless peripheral (20) discovery process to a user and store in said memory at least one of said discovered COTS wireless peripheral (20) identifiers; and/orii) said trust list of wireless peripherals (20) to said user such that said user can select at least one of said wireless peripherals (20) and its corresponding identifier previously stored in said memory; and e) a third program code (63C) executable by said processor causing said mobile computing device (10) to initiate through said wireless network communications link (50) at least one emergency communication to a location remote from said mobile computing device (10) subsequent to:
i) performing said wireless peripheral (20) discovery process to discover at least one of said COTS wireless peripheral (20) identifiers matching a corresponding one of said discovery list's wireless peripheral (20) identifiers; orii) using said COTS peripheral identifiers and peripheral addresses stored in said memory to form said communications channel (24) with one or more of said COTS wireless peripherals (20); oriii) using said trust list to match at least one available COTS wireless peripheral (20) identifiers with its stored corresponding COTS wireless peripheral (20) identifier. |
