Publication number: 20170013435Abstract: Automatic Location Information (ALI) data that is representative of a landline address is digitally retrieved, and automatically transferred to an emergency call taker over a wireless system emergency network Importantly, the ALI information is determined based on association to a proximate location. Before an emergency call is initiated, additional environmental information, such as a RFID tag, location beacon, WiFi access point, Bluetooth device, or other communication signal with a known location, is included in the wireless session data exchange, used to match one or more location inputs to a fixed civic location (street address) which is used to dispatch emergency responders. Alternatively, the mechanism matches to a precise geodetic location (e.g., where no civic location is available).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2016Publication date: January 12, 2017Inventors: ANDREW SINGER, DON MITCHELL, FIRDAUS ARYANA, ROGER MARSHALL

Patent number: 9544429Abstract: An E-9-1-1 voice-over-IP (VoIP) solution is provided wherein a 911 call from a mobile VoIP device is routed directly to the correct Public Safety Answer Point (PSAP) via dedicated trunks, together with correct location information and call-back number. VoIP gateways are implemented locally, at least one per LATA, and accept VoIP packetized data inbound, and convert it to standard wireline voice calls. Calls are routed to an IP address at the VoIP gateway, which then egresses the call to a voice port at a selective router. Mid-call updating of location of a moving VoIP terminal is provided to a PSAP. The location of the VoIP is validated using HTTP based protocol by pushing location information to a VoIP location server, and comparing it against a geographic location database to confirm that a contained street address is valid.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Yinjun Zhu, Richard Dickinson, Roger Marshall, Steven P.

Publication number: 20160360357Abstract: A method and mechanism to allow a location server to initiate a user plane location service (e.g., SUPL defined by OMA) procedure to a user plane enabled device via Instant Messaging, or alternatively, via an existing SIP session if a multimedia session is already established. The location request is signaled to the user plane enabled device via a SIP INFO message. The location request uses SIP messaging to overcome firewall and other network security issues. Location using SUPL over SIP may be provided about a caller making an E911 emergency call. An Instant Message may be sent to the user plane enabled device, e.g., a VoIP wireless phone.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: YINJUN ZHU, GORDON JOHN HINES, ROGER MARSHALL, FEI YANG, VICTOR BURTON

Dedicated voice trunks (CAMA, SS7, FG-D) are installed between each local VoIP gateway and appropriate selective routers. An Automatic Location Identification (ALI) database is provisioned with ESRKs dedicated for VoIP use. TCP/IP circuits may be established between some or all of the various local VoIP gateways.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2014Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Richard Dickinson, Roger Marshall, Steven P.

Patent number: 8781960Abstract: A system and method is provided to accept and settle transaction payments for a consumer. The consumer initiates a transaction with a merchant, and the merchant transmits transaction information to a central processing unit using an initiating processing unit. The central processing unit generates a unique transaction identifier. The system may provide the merchant and consumer the nearest payment processing unit. At the payment processing unit, the consumer presents the unique transaction identifier, which is transmitted to the central processing unit for validation. The consumer makes payment at the payment processing unit, and the payment information is transmitted to the central processing unit. The system remits the payment to the merchant.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2013Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Pay Cash Now, LLCInventor: Roger Marshall
