Patent number: 8364197Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for processing an emergency communication. A communication is received from a sender's communications address that is destined to an emergency response communications address. The sender's communications address and the emergency response communications address are associated to an emergency alert profile that stores emergency information. A prompt is produced for a code that blocks generation of the emergency communication. When the code is not entered during the communication, then the emergency communication is generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Valerie Binning

Patent number: 7620156Abstract: Emergency communication applications and methods interact with different communications devices, different users, and/or different communications networks to generate, enable, and/or transmit an Emergency Locator Signal to a communications address of the local communications network. According to exemplary embodiments, the transmitted Emergency Locator Signal communicates with the local communications network to identify a location of the calling party's communications device (or alternate selected communications device) at a geographic location of an Emergency Communications Address. Thereafter, the location of the calling party's communications device is communicated to emergency response personnel to better locate a victim in proximity to the calling party's communications device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2006Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Valerie Binning
