  • Publication number: 20140031003
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to handling of emergency calls originating from mobile devices. Embodiments of the present invention may include features implemented on the mobile device and/or on elements of the carrier's network to provide enhanced location determination and routing of the emergency call. These features and functions may take advantage of various sources of location information and provide enhanced routing and other functions based on this information. Embodiments may provide enhanced workflows or other functions associated with the handling of the emergency call. For example, modes of communications available to the mobile device may be selected and utilized instead of or in addition to a voice call in various situations. In other examples, various workflows or other processes may be kicked off upon the initiation of an emergency call from the mobile device to, for example, provide notifications to various other parties.
