Abstract: An emergency response computer system is used in operative communication with mobile computing devices for a set of device users to automatically coordinate emergency responders. The system can produce a report for emergency responders that identifies the locations of mobile computing devices, and the report can be helpful in identifying the locations of people and evacuating them when there is a mass emergency. The system can evaluate the content of emergency messages as well as proximity of the locations of the mobile computing devices that sent the emergency messages and the timing of the emergency messages to determine whether a mass emergency event is occurring and the appropriate level and type of emergency responders (police, fire, and/or medical). The system can identify and connect with video cameras throughout the geographic area that is covered by the system's emergency responders.

Abstract: An emergency assistance program running on a mobile computing device sends an emergency trigger message to an emergency responder's emergency response computer system. The message includes the computing device's location that is received by the device from a global positioning module and also preferably includes user profile information for the computing device's user. For smartphone computing devices running the program, the program also preferably instructs the smartphone to place a call to the contact phone. The emergency response computer system receives the message from the computing device and begins a group message thread with the computing device. An emergency response module running on the emergency response computer system determines one or more emergency response units in proximity to the computing device's location and automatically transmits the emergency trigger message to at least one emergency response unit.
