More Information
Summary:Techniques for transferring device-related content between mobile devices in low coverage areas are provided. In emergency situations, various information (e.g., current location coordinates, time-stamp, location history, sensor measurements and other device-related or network-related information) may be useful to emergency services. However, this information may be difficult to provide to an external server in areas of low or no cellular coverage. Thus, provided techniques enable mobile devices to communicate with each other in low coverage areas to build up a history of information that may be useful in an emergency situation.
