Abstract:
The "Mobile Rescue Phone Project (MORE)" aims at integrating
the non-uniform group of disabled and elderly potential customers
into the mobile phone users society for interpersonal communication.
The GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) services have
great potential for enhancing autonomy and quality of their
life.
The MORE-Phone in a single device integrates GSM functions for
mobile telecommunications and GPS (Global Positioning System)
functions for localization of a user in trouble asking for help.
The MORE-Phone can be adapted to specific needs of nearly any
of the conceivable user groups of disabled and elderly people.
The MORE user club: All conceivable user categories are integrated
in the project from the beginning - via the test site partners
in the "MORE user club". They have defined the user
requirements covering basic future mobile multimedia and design
for all aspects. They test the single demonstrators. The MORE
Project is user driven.
