Abstract

Emergency call processing in a helmet (100) with a rigid shell (101) that spatially divides a shell interior from a shell ambiance includes receiving an emergency indication signal, upon reception of the emergency indication signal establishing a speech link between a controllable transceiver and a counterpart transceiver via at least one wireless communication channel, and reproducing sound in the shell interior and picking up sound with a sensitivity that is higher in the shell interior than in the shell ambience. The sound reproduced in the shell is received from the counterpart transceiver and the sound picked-up in the shell interior is transmitted to the counterpart transceiver.
