Abstract

Thousands of people die today and every day as a result of fatal injuries during car crashes, fires, floods and other emergencies. Many of them die absolutely needlessly. They often become in few moments in so serious situation that they are unable to call emergency by dialing emergency number on their mobile phone. Price of human lives is incalculable, that is why it is necessary to look for new solutions to their saving. This solution can be the emergency system built-in directly in the mobile phone, which will analyze the surrounding and based on the interpretation of sensors and will evaluate the necessity of emergency signal transmission.
