What is YOYOCare?
YOYOCare is a small and very simple-to-use safety mobile that keeps track of
where the user is. Apart from dialling and taking calls it can also send alarm
messages by SMS which include YOYOCare’s current position to one or several
mobile phone numbers and to an e-mail address.
On request from another mobile phone YOYOCare can return a position, a photo
as well as set up zones. This is done by simple SMS commands and the position
is received as an SMS with a link that shows YOYOCare's position on Google
Maps.
Only a SIM-card with a valid subscription is needed. The safety telephone is
configured and managed from a common mobile telephone through simple SMS
commands.

How does YOYOCare work?
Technically YOYOCare is a GSM mobile phone with a built-in GPS receiver and
camera. Once connected to a mobile network it can make and take calls, send
and receive text messages (via SMS), and it can take and send photos (via
MMS) as well. YOYOCare will only communicate with predefined phone numbers.
YOYOCare knows its geographic position by receiving signals from GPS satellites
(same technology as in e.g. car navigation equipment).
Incoming calls do not need to be “picked-up” as YOYOCare will to this
automatically. Voice calls go through the speaker, i e. the device does not need
to be held against the ear. The speaker volume can be adjusted.
