GPS emergency call standards

[Lothar Behrens]

Besides all the discussion. Is this here really yet patented?

If a patent would disable an emergeny functionality like automating  
the alert
in case of 'changing behaviour' (accels), or it makes the device a bit  
more
expensive, because it helps save live, I must say patents are the  
wrong way.

I think, such an important issue should not be patented, because it is  
a feature
all phones should become and not only these whose manufacturer are  
willing
to pay the patent licenses.

Also, in my view, the amount of invention is not quite high to  
eligible for a patent.

What do you think?

Is there prior art?

An interactive location is established and is provided by many  
services, does an automation
of them by a change in accelorometer behavior not be always the  
conclusion to be the best?

Wouldn't that idea in someones head earlyer?
