Abstract

A method for generating an emergency call as well as an emergency sensing device and a mobile phone for executing this method. An emergency event is triggered on the emergency sensing device. When detecting the emergency event, the emergency sensing device activates a transmitter and transmits an emergency signal via a wireless communication interface to the mobile phone. The mobile phone establishes an emergency call to a predefined destination, when receiving via the wireless communication interface such emergency signal from the emergency sensing device.
