Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de communication (K) employé pour la sécurité des personnes, en particulier dans des zones dangereuses, le dispositif comprenant un système d'actionnement destiné à déclencher l'émission d'un signal de détresse. A la place d'un commutateur de détresse mécanique, est utilisée une interface graphique utilisateur (BO) qui est au moins partiellement sensible à l'effleurement ("Touch- Screen" / écran tactile). Lorsque le dispositif de communication ou la fonction de détresse est en état de marche, un élément graphique (GE) qui se présente sous la forme d'une touche de détresse, est affiché sur l'interface utilisateur (BO), l'appui sur cette zone de l'interface utilisateur (BO) conduisant à l'envoi d'un signal de détresse. Cela permet à un dispositif de communication courant, par exemple un assistant numérique personnel à interface WLAN, d'être utilisé par lecture d'un logiciel en tant que dispositif de détresse personnel (PNG).
