METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONVEYING CONTEXT INFORMATION IN A PERSONAL AND FAMILY SECURITY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system (100) and method (200) of conveying context information in a personal and family security environment monitor (201) a sender's environment, encode (202) a context signal that is used to activate a sound, a haptic, or a light representative of the sender's environment, and transmit (206) the context signal. In another aspect, the method can alternatively encode (204) an icon representative of a location or an implied location or an implied heading as the context signal. The method can further include the step of initiating (208) an I'm OK sequence. In one aspect, the method can receive the context signal and generate (210) the sound, haptic, or light representative of the sender's environment at the receiving party.
