Abstract
A method for context-dependent emergency reporting includes receiving at a processor of a cellular phone a signal indicative of detecting a contextual cue. The exemplary method also includes receiving at the processor of the cellular phone a signal indicative of detecting a confirmatory cue. The exemplary method further includes the processor of the cellular phone identifying an emergency in response to detecting both the confirmatory cue and the contextual cue; and, in response to identifying the emergency, the processor of the cellular phone alerting a pre-registered recipient of the emergency via a wireless communication module of the cellular phone.
