Abstract

A wireless communications device displays an emergency information screen presenting emergency contact information for one or more emergency contacts. This emergency contact information is automatically integrated from the address book by identifying contacts in the address book that have been designated by the owner of the device as emergency contacts. The device can automatically update the emergency contact information by periodically polling the address book to ascertain whether any changes have been made to the contact information.
