Abstract
A wireless communication device, operating over frequencies allocated to Personal Communications Services (PCS), uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to determine the subscriber's exact location on a periodic basis. The device sends the location information to a database for storage and subsequent retrieval by a Geographical Information System (GIS) software application. The GIS converts the location information represented by a latitude/longitude combination to a user-friendly classification of a block, street, city, etc. The user-friendly classification of the subscriber's location is then automatically communicated to emergency services and/or a designated contact, if an emergency button has been activated on the device. Alternatively, the device responds to on-demand inquiries on the subscriber's location via a computer link or a computerized voice processing equipment, such as a Voice Response Unit (VRU).
