  • Patent number: 9368022
    Abstract: Using wireless features, a public service agency is enabled to provide alert information to first responders. An automatic call back from the first responder triggers a voice call launching a location fix on the current location of the first responder. Preferably delivery confirmation that the responder has received the message is received. Once the location fix has been completed, then driving directions with map images are sent to the first responder based on their current location and desired destination for response.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140032114
    Abstract: A navigation system integrated with knowledge of active emergency alerting system alert data and up to date Doppler weather radar data, to provide a visual representation of an alert area and/or current weather patterns on a map, and to automatically navigate a subscriber device away from an affected area, e.g., an alert area, an area under severe weather. The inventive navigation system displays NEXRAD Doppler weather radar data on a map by integrating a NEXRAD feed into the map and allowing a user to enable/disable the NEXRAD feed as a map overlay. The inventive navigation system also automatically routes or reroutes a subscriber device to avoid areas under severe weather. The navigation system is also integrated with a conventional CMSP gateway in an emergency alerting system to provide: a visual representation of an alert area on a map and to automatically route/reroute a subscriber device around an alert area.

  • Publication number: 20130344840
    Abstract: Enhanced cell site database information and a spatial geotargeting method that considers radio frequency power contours emitted by cell sites, for the improved accuracy of geotargeted alerting. A geotargeted alert is broadcast to all cell sites with a RF power contour that overlaps an alert area defined for the alert. Targeted cell sites receive the alert and broadcast the alert to subscriber devices located in their coverage area. An RF propagation model computes an RF power contour for a given cell site based on cell site attribute data obtained from a commercial mobile service provider. Cell site attribute data and cell site power contour data is stored in a GIS relational database during system provisioning. When an alert is received, a mobile alerting system performs a spatial query on the relational database to determine which cell sites have a power contour that overlaps an alert area defined for the alert.

  • Publication number: 20130303107
    Abstract: Location determination for a roaming subscriber device using a short message service (SMS) to contact emergency services, wherein location information is obtained from a visited carrier network on which the originating subscriber device is roaming. An emergency SMS message is first routed to a predetermined emergency services SMSC. The emergency services SMSC then forwards data relevant to the emergency SMS message to an SMS to emergency services mediator. The SMS to emergency services mediator uses data received for the emergency SMS message to obtain location information therefor. Location information for an emergency SMS message is obtained from an LBS platform on a network carrier currently servicing the originating subscriber device. A next hop URI is then determined for the emergency SMS message based on relevant location information. The emergency SMS message is routed to the next hop URI and eventually routed to an appropriate PSAP.
