Abstract: Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for determining data from one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices indicates an emergency event, filtering the data from the one or more IoT devices to create relevant data for the emergency event, and communicating the relevant data for the emergency event to a public safety answering point (PSAP) or a control center.

Abstract: Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for determining an emergency event is occurring, identifying one or more IoT devices in an area of the emergency event, notifying an emergency service personnel of the one or more IoT devices in the area of the emergency event, allowing the emergency service personnel to access at least one of the one or more IoT devices, and communicating real-time data from the at least one of the one or more IoT devices to the emergency service personnel.

Abstract: Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for creating a geofence around an event, creating a phase one gate around the geofence, receiving a communication at a public safety answering point (PSAP), and conditioned upon general location data included in the communication received at the PSAP indicating the communication originated inside the phase one gate, delaying the communication until precise location data for the communication determines if the communication originated inside the geofence or outside of the geofence.

Abstract: Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for intercepting a communication to a public safety answering point (PSAP) before the communication reaches a human operator at the PSAP, using a computer model to execute a script and communicate one or more questions from the script to a user associated with the communication to the PSAP, receiving at least one response to the one or more questions, and sending the communication, the one or more questions, and the at least one response to the human operator at the PSAP. In some examples, the computer model is a chat bot.

Abstract: Particular example embodiments described herein can provide for a system, an apparatus, and a method for analyzing a communication from an electronic device to a PSAP, determining a classification for the communication, wherein the classification is one of an emergency PSAP classification, a non-emergency PSAP classification, or a not related to PSAP services classification, and sending the communication and the determined classification for the communication to the PSAP. In some examples, communications with the emergency PSAP classification are sent to a high priority queue at the PSAP, communications with the non-emergency PSAP classification are sent to a medium priority queue at the PSAP, and communications with the not related to PSAP service classification are sent to a low priority queue at the PSAP. In some examples, a computer model used to determine the classification for the communication.

Abstract: An approach is presented for interacting with a messaging user interface. A presentation is caused, at least in part, of a messaging user interface associated with one or more messaging services at a device. Presentation of a user interface element providing a link to one or more communications sessions corresponding to the messaging services is caused, at least in part. Selection of the user interface element causes, at least in part, presentation of representations of the communications sessions as one or more overlay elements on the user interface.

Abstract: An approach is provided for customizing application protocols. A protocol management module receives a request to execute an application at a device. The application includes a set of protocol features. The protocol management module determines one or more protocols for the application based, at least in part, on one or more criteria. The protocol management module then determines a subset of the protocol features to enable or disable based, at least in part, on the one or more protocols.
