A server includes a communications adapter; a controller and a datastore. The controller receives a first user input via a user interface to associate at least one image attribute with a contact. Thereby, responsive to receiving an image from an electronic apparatus, the controller automatically processes the image to identify at least one feature of the image that corresponds to the image attribute, and associates the image with the contact based on the image attribute; and communicates the image to the contact via the communications adapter. The datastore is suitable for storing digital information, and is communicatively coupled to the controller.

Automated communication using image capture

A method () of communicating that can include, responsive to receiving an image (), automatically processing the image to associate the image with a contact, and communicating the image to the contact. Receiving the image can include capturing the image with an image capture device (). The method also can include associating a message with the image, and automatically communicating the message with the image. At least one image attribute can be associated with the contact. In such an arrangement, processing the image can include identifying at least one feature of the image that corresponds to the image attribute. Responsive to identifying that a feature of the image corresponds to the image attribute, the message can be automatically associated with the image.

The present embodiments provide methods, systems and apparatuses for use in providing notification of emergency services as well as notifying additional individuals and/or groups of an emergency. Some embodiments provide methods for use in dispatching emergency services () and notifying one or more additional contacts (). These methods wirelessly receive a request for emergency services () from a remote wireless device (), retrieve an emergency contact list according to the type of emergency () and determine at least one emergency contact other than emergency services according to the contact list (). Once identified, the contact is notified of the request for emergency services (). Some embodiments further determine a mode of communicating with the emergency contact () and notify the contact according to the mode of communication. Some methods additionally determine one or more types of emergency services to be dispatched () and notify types of emergency services ().
