Abstract: A system for coordinating a response comprising a plurality of mobile devices for use by persons responding to an event; a mobile application configured to send, via the corresponding mobile device, information concerning a response to the event of the person using the corresponding mobile device; and a server configured to receive and share the information with each of the other mobile devices so as to provide continuously updated information concerning the response of each person to the event for use in coordinating a collective response to the event by the persons. A method for coordinating a response comprising sending, via a plurality of mobile devices, information concerning a response to the event by a corresponding user of the corresponding mobile device; sharing the information with each of the other mobile devices; and displaying the shared information for facilitating coordination of a collective response to the event by the persons.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention there is provided a system that provides for one or more of the following: (a) allows a dial capture alarm communicator to both send event data and provide a voice path to an alarm receiver at the central station; (b) is not integrated into the alarm panel, which allows it to be added to almost any preexisting installation; (c) uses industry-standard event reporting protocols, it can be used with any alarm panel that provides industry-standard event notifications; and/or (d) provides transparent transport for both the voice and the data, meaning that neither the alarm panel nor the alarm communicator at the central station is aware of the communicator's intermediary function.
