Motorcycle wireless communication system employing a tilt sensor to detect an emergency situation which is transmitted to a remote location

摘要

A wireless communication arrangement comprises a wireless communication unit (110) attachable to a vehicle 100, having: a receiver for receiving a wireless alarm signal, a processor 208 and a transmitter. The system further comprises a remote sensor 230, which may be attached to a user of the wireless communication unit 110 or the vehicle, distal from the wireless communication unit 110, such that an alarm signal is transmitted to the wireless communication unit 110 in response to sensing a tilt relative to a vertical axis of the user or the vehicle. In response to the alarm signal, the transmitter of the wireless communication unit 110 transmits an emergency signal. In this manner, an emergency wireless signal is generated and transmitted when a radio user or a vehicle of the radio user, e.g. a motorcycle, becomes substantially horizontal, for example in the case of a traffic accident.
