- a communications event is first initiated by a subscribing communications device (i.e. a calling device) 100 to one or more communications recipient devices 140, as depicted in step 1 of Fig. 1.
- the initiated communications event is then forwarded to a content collection node 130 during call routing.
- the content collection node 130 receives the communications event initiated in step 1 , and retrieves identification credentials for both the calling device (i.e. the subscribing wireless device) 100 specified in the origination field of the communications event, and any recipient devices 140 specified in the destination field.
- the content collection node 130 sends a first query to the subscriber information reference database 120, containing identification credentials specified in the initiated communications event.
- the subscriber information reference database 120 receives the first query from the content collection node 130 and uses data contained therein to identify a subscriber profile associated with the communications source device 100. In step 3, the subscriber information reference database 120 sends a first query response to the content collection node 130 to identify which (if any) communications recipient devices (140a, 140b, and/or 140c) are permitted (e.g. by means of a contact list defined in the calling device's 100 subscriber profile) to receive additional caller information with the communications event initiated in step 1.
- the content collection node 130 simply forwards the relevant communications event to all communications recipient devices 140 (as depicted in step 4) and call flow is complete. Alternatively, if any of the one or more recipient devices 140 identified in the communications event are permitted to receive subscriber information pre-provisioned for the communications source device 100, the content collection node 130 initiates a subscriber information content collection process to dynamically collect caller information for appropriate recipient devices (140a, 140b, and/or 140c).

Abstract
Dynamically selecting and facilitating stored caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event, based on communication recipient credentials (e.g. MDN, etc.), preferences outlined in a subscriber profile associated with a relevant calling device, and other variables, e.g., time of day, etc. A subscriber provisions subscriber preferences and subscriber information associated with users of a subscribing communications device in to a subscriber profile, for use during a communications event. Subscriber preferences place restrictive conditions on stored subscriber information that may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by a corresponding communications device. A content collection node dynamically selects customized caller information via a subscriber information content collection process. Customized caller information is transmitted to appropriate recipient devices with a corresponding communications event. In the event of a 911 communications event, customized caller information may be transmitted to emergency dispatch personnel via the legacy E2 query interface.

The present invention also claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/566,918 to Donald Le Roy MITCHELL, Jr., Roger MARSHALL, Andrew SINGER, and Firdaus ARYANA, entitled "Wireless 9-1 -1 Caller Profile Data Delivery Over the E2 or Other Legacy ALI Interface" filed December 5, 201 1 , the entirety of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to mobile communication devices. More particularly, it relates to wireless communications, including location, messaging, and public safety applications.
2. Background of Related Art
In the current state of technology, a data store (i.e. a data repository) and a signaling method are used in combination to transmit caller information (e.g. a callback number, user name, etc.) from a calling device to a recipient device with a communications event.
A conventional method of complementing a communications event with additional caller information comprises initiating a communications event between a calling device and a recipient device, compiling additional caller information into a signaling message at the calling device, and then routing the signaling message from the calling device to the recipient device with the communications event.
Existing technology and methods do not provide a mechanism for a 91 1 communicator to retrieve a higher fidelity location description after verbal verification from a caller.
Moreover, there is currently no known deployed method for collecting and disseminating stored profile information to emergency dispatch personnel via the legacy E2 query interface. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A method and apparatus for dynamically selecting and transmitting stored caller (person, machine, and/or sensor) information to a communications recipient device (e.g. emergency dispatch personnel) with a communications event (e.g. a voice over IP call, an SMS message, an IP message, an MMS message, etc.), comprises a content collection node. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a content collection node facilitates stored subscriber information to a communications recipient device with a communications event, based on: communication recipient credentials (e.g. IP address, Mobile Directory Number, etc.), subscriber preferences defined for a communications calling device, and other relevant variables, e.g., time of day, location of calling device, location of recipient device, etc. A content collection node dynamically collects customized caller information for a communications recipient device via a subscriber information content collection process.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the inventive content collection node is able to dynamically facilitate stored caller information to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a public safety answering point) with a 91 1 communications event, via the legacy E2 query interface. In particular, the inventive content collection node uses relevant variables identified in phase II data conventionally obtained for a 91 1 calling device, to dynamically select relevant subscriber information from a subscriber profile provisioned for that particular 91 1 calling device. Relevant subscriber information is inserted in to a data stream delivered to a 91 1 dispatch agency's customer premises equipment (CPE), and ultimately displayed on that 91 1 dispatch agency's automatic location identification (ALI) screen.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a subscriber provisions personal information associated with users of a subscribing
communications device in to a subscriber profile via a secure subscriber information provisioning interface. A subscriber profile is then stored in a subscriber information reference database for use during a communications event. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a subscriber profile preferably contains identification credentials for users of a corresponding communications device, a contact list, a potential location profile, a health profile, an emergency contact list, and subscriber preferences.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, subscriber preferences are defined for a communications device to place restrictive conditions on stored subscriber information that may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by that communications device. For instance, a communications device may define subscriber preferences to indicate when (e.g. time of day, day of week, etc.) subscriber information may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by that particular communications device. Moreover, a communications device may define subscriber preferences to indicate specific recipient devices (e.g. emergency dispatch personnel) to which subscriber information may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by that particular communications device.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, furnishing customized caller information with a communications event (e.g. a 911 call) provides a communications recipient device the ability to attain a higher fidelity location description for a communications source device, and/or a higher fidelity emergency description for a communications source device, following verbal verification from a caller.

The present invention provides a network element and method for storing subscriber (person, machine, and/or sensor) information for use during a communications event (e.g. a 911 call), based on relevant credentials (e.g. communication recipient credentials and/or communication source credentials) and/or variables, e.g., time of day, day of week, etc. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a communications event may be, e.g., a voice over IP call, an SMS message, an IP message, an MMS message, etc.
Currently, there is no mechanism to permit a calling device to place restrictive conditions on caller information that may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by that calling device. For instance, a calling device cannot articulate specific times at which certain caller information may be relevant, e.g., in the evening when likely at home; during the weekday when likely at work; etc.
Moreover, there is currently no mechanism to enable a calling device to articulate specific recipient devices to which additional, higher fidelity
caller information may be transmitted with a given communications event (e.g., during an emergency call).
As recognized by the current inventors, a calling device may desire that certain caller information be transmitted to certain specific or type recipient devices in a given communications event, and not transmitted to other specific or type recipient devices in that same communications event. For instance, a calling device may desire that a communications system only complement communications events destined to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public
Safety Answering Point) with additional caller information. Moreover, depending on the time of day, a calling device may or may not desire certain caller information to be transmitted to certain recipient devices specified in a communications event.
Consequently, the present inventors have identified a need for a system that references user-defined subscriber preferences to dynamically select and transmit subscriber information pre-provisioned for a calling device, to individual recipient devices specified in a communications event initiated by that calling device.
The present invention facilitates stored caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event, based on communication recipient credentials (e.g. IP address, Mobile Directory Number, etc.), preferences outlined in a subscriber profile associated with a relevant calling device, and other variables, e.g., time of day, location of calling device, location of recipient device, etc.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, furnishing customized caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event (e.g. a 911 call), provides that communications recipient device (e.g. emergency service personnel) the ability to attain a higher fidelity location description for a communications source device, and/or a higher fidelity emergency description for a communications source device, following verbal verification from a caller. Moreover, the present invention enables a communications system to furnish a multiple choice response set (e.g. home
address, work address, vacation home address) to a communications recipient device with a communications event, from which the communications recipient device must then select based on information/verbal verification (e.g. "I am at home") provided by a caller.
The present invention permits a subscriber to provision subscriber preferences (i.e. restrictive conditions) and subscriber (person, machine, and/or sensor) information associated with users of a communications device in to a subscriber profile. Subscriber preferences are defined for a communications device to place restrictive conditions on stored subscriber information that may be transmitted to a recipient device with a communications event initiated by that communications device. For instance, subscriber preferences may be defined to identify when (e.g. a time of day, a day of week, etc.) subscriber information may be transmitted with communications events initiated by a particular communications device. Moreover, subscriber preferences may be defined to identify recipient devices (e.g. emergency dispatch personnel) to which caller information may be transmitted with communications events initiated by a particular communications device. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, subscriber preferences are stored in a subscriber information reference database via a secure subscriber information provisioning interface, for use during a communications event.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a content collection node references a subscriber profile associated with a calling device to dynamically select and facilitate stored caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event initiated by that calling device. The content collection node dynamically selects caller information for a communications recipient device based on: communications recipient credentials (e.g. IP address, Mobile Directory Number, etc.), subscriber preferences defined in a subscriber profile for the calling device, and any variables (e.g., time of day, location of recipient device, etc.) relevant to the initiated communications event.
Fig. 1 depicts an exemplary network structure for identifying and providing stored caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In particular, a subscriber provisions personal information associated with users of a subscribing communications device 100 in to a subscriber profile via a secure subscriber information provisioning interface 110. A subscriber profile preferably contains identifying data (e.g. name, age, etc.) for users of a corresponding communications device 100, a contact list, a potential location set, a health profile, and user-defined subscriber preferences. Moreover, a subscriber profile may additionally include, e.g., images and/or videos describing information about users of a corresponding communications device 100, additional profiles containing more precise location descriptions for users of a corresponding communications device 100, emergency contact information, etc. A subscriber may access the secure subscriber information provisioning interface 110 to alter/update a subscriber profile at any given time.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a subscriber profile provisioned for a communications device 100 is stored in a subscriber information reference database 120 for use during a communications event.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, subscriber information is dynamically selected for a communications recipient device 140 via a content collection node 130, shown in Fig. 1. In particular, a content collection node 130 initiates a subscriber information content collection process to collect customized caller information for a communications recipient device 140, based on: identification credentials (e.g. IP address, Mobile Directory Number, etc.) corresponding to a particular communications recipient device 140, subscriber preferences articulated in a subscriber profile associated with a communications source device 100, and other relevant variables, e.g., time of day, location of recipient device 140, location of calling device 100, etc. A content collection node 130 only initiates a subscriber information content collection process if one or more recipient devices 140 specified in an initiated
communications event is permitted (e.g., by means of a contact list defined in a calling device's 100 subscriber profile) to receive subscriber information pre- provisioned for a relevant calling device 100.
In particular, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a communications event is first initiated by a subscribing communications device (i.e. a calling device) 100 to one or more communications recipient devices 140, as depicted in step 1 of Fig. 1. The initiated communications event is then forwarded to a content collection node 130 during call routing.
The content collection node 130 receives the communications event initiated in step 1 , and retrieves identification credentials for both the calling device (i.e. the subscribing wireless device) 100 specified in the origination field of the communications event, and any recipient devices 140 specified in the destination field. In step 2, the content collection node 130 sends a first query to the subscriber information reference database 120, containing identification credentials specified in the initiated communications event.
The subscriber information reference database 120 receives the first query from the content collection node 130 and uses data contained therein to identify a subscriber profile associated with the communications source device 100. In step 3, the subscriber information reference database 120 sends a first query response to the content collection node 130 to identify which (if any) communications recipient devices (140a, 140b, and/or 140c) are permitted (e.g. by means of a contact list defined in the calling device's 100 subscriber profile) to receive additional caller information with the communications event initiated in step 1.
If no recipient devices 140 are permitted to obtain subscriber information pre-provisioned for the communications source device 100, the content collection node 130 simply forwards the relevant communications event to all communications recipient devices 140 (as depicted in step 4) and call flow is complete.
Alternatively, if any of the one or more recipient devices 140 identified in the communications event are permitted to receive subscriber information pre-provisioned for the communications source device 100, the content collection node 130 initiates a subscriber information content collection process to dynamically collect caller information for appropriate recipient devices (140a, 140b, and/or 140c).
During a subscriber information content collection process, a content collection node 130 collects and compiles various variables, e.g., time of day, day of week, location of calling device 100, location of recipient device 140, location range (a diameter based upon the calling device 100), etc., relevant to the initiated communications event. The content collection node 130 then compiles relevant variables in to a content query and furnishes the content query to the subscriber information reference database 120, as depicted in step 5.
Fig. 2 depicts an illustrative example of a content query, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In particular, the content query 200 depicted in Fig. 2 indicates to a subscriber information reference database 120 that a calling device '6097775945' 210, located at lat/lon pair 38°53'23"N/77o00'27"W 220, initiated a communications event at 6:01 PM 230 to a recipient device '7322416600' 240, located at lat/lon pair 34o41'00"N/65°22'41 "W 250, and a recipient device '7568476655' 260, located at lat/lon pair 32°33'11"N/71025'66"W 270.
In step 6 of Fig. 1 , the subscriber information reference database 120 receives the content query transmitted in step 5, and uses variables contained therein to return a content query response to the content collection node 130. A content query response contains customized caller information for each communications recipient device (140a, 140b, and/or 140c) permitted to receive caller information pre-provisioned for the communications calling device. Customized caller information is selected based on: communication recipient credentials (e.g. IP address, Mobile Directory Number, etc.), preferences defined in a subscriber profile associated with the calling device 100, and any relevant variables, e.g., time of day, day of week, location of calling device 100, location
of recipient device (140a, 140b, or 140c), location range (a diameter based upon the calling device 100), etc., obtained during the subscriber information content collection process.
The content collection node 130 subsequently receives the content query response and uses data contained therein to compose customized caller information messages for each recipient device (140a, 140b, and/or 140c) permitted (e.g. by means of a contact list defined in the calling device's 100 subscriber profile) to receive caller information pre-provisioned for the communications source device 100. Customized caller information messages may be prepared for either automatic or manual retrieval, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In step 7, the content collection node 130 forwards the initiated communications event to all recipient devices 140 specified in the communications event destination field, and additionally forwards a customized caller information message to each recipient device (140a, 140b, and/or 140c) permitted (e.g. by means of a contact list defined in the calling device's 100 subscriber profile) to receive caller information therewith.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a customized caller information message may be presented automatically to a recipient device 140, or manually following selection by a recipient device 140.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the inventive content collection node may also be utilized during conventional 911 call routing procedures to dynamically select and facilitate stored subscriber information to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a PSAP) via the legacy E2 query interface (or any other ALI interface that allows insertion of additional text).
In particular, phase II data conventionally collected for a 911 calling device is forwarded to the inventive content collection node during standard 911 call routing procedures. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the content collection node uses phase II data received thereon, to dynamically select relevant subscriber information from a subscriber profile pre- provisioned for the 911 calling device. Relevant subscriber information collected
for the 91 1 calling device is forwarded to a conventional automatic location identification (ALI) database, whereupon subscriber information is inserted in to a conventional ALI query response and delivered to a 91 1 dispatch agency's customer premises equipment (CPE), via the legacy E2 query interface (or any other ALI interface that allows insertion of additional text). Relevant subscriber information is ultimately displayed on the requesting 91 1 dispatch agency's ALI screen.
Fig. 3 depicts exemplary transmission of subscriber profile information to a 91 1 dispatch agency via the legacy E2 query interface, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In particular, in accordance with the principles of the present invention, a wireless 91 1 call is initiated on a subscribing communications device (i.e. a 91 1 calling device) 100, as depicted in step 301 of Fig. 3. In step 302, the initiated 91 1 call is routed to an appropriate public safety answering point (PSAP) (i.e. emergency dispatch personnel) 300 via conventional J-STD-036 call routing procedures.
In step 303, the public safety answering point (PSAP) 300 receives the initiated 91 1 call and requests conventional phase II data (i.e. a callback number and a current geographic location) for the corresponding 91 1 calling device 100. In particular, the public safety answering point (PSAP) 300 receives a callback number for the 91 1 calling device 100 via an automatic number identification (ANI) query to a conventional automatic number identification (ANI) database 320. Thereafter, the public safety answering point (PSAP) 300 sends an automatic location identification (ALI) query to a conventional automatic location identification (ALI) database 330, requesting phase II location information for the 91 1 calling device 100.
In step 304, the ALI database 330 retrieves phase II location information for the 91 1 calling device 100 via a conventional method of location determination, and then forwards phase II location information to the inventive content collection node 130. In step 305, the content collection node 130 uses phase II data received thereon to dynamically select relevant subscriber
information from a subscriber profile pre-provisioned for the 911 calling device 100.
Fig. 4 depicts an exemplary subscriber information content collection process performed for a 911 calling device, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
In particular, as shown in step 410 of Fig. 4, the inventive content collection node 130 first queries a suitable, novel data table, e.g., CARRIERPSAPXIDB, to determine if a carrier is supporting external database (XIDB) services for the requesting public safety answering point (PSAP) 300. The data table, e.g., CARRIERPSAPXIDB, returns, 'Yes', in a query response, to indicate that external database services are supported. The content collection node 130 then initiates a subscriber information content collection process for the 911 calling device 100.
During a subscriber information content collection process, the content collection node 130 performs a geographic information systems (GIS) query to determine if any potential locations defined in the subscriber profile provisioned for the 911 calling device 100, intersect a derived polygon of the phase II location obtained for the 911 calling device 100, as shown in step 420. Any intersecting potential locations stored in the subscriber profile associated with the 911 calling device 100 are returned to the content collection node 130 in a geographic information systems (GIS) query response.
In step 430, the content collection node 130 sends a content collection query to the inventive subscriber information database (i.e. the external database (XIDB)) 120, to request generic emergency information (e.g. identification credentials, a health profile, subscriber medications, an emergency contact list, etc.) stored in the 911 calling device's 100 subscriber profile. Generic emergency information comprises any relevant/emergency information that is both stored in the subscriber information database 120 provisioned for the 911 calling device 100, and authorized (via subscriber preferences) to be furnished to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a public safety answering point). In a preferable embodiment, subscriber preferences are bypassed in the event of
a 91 1 emergency. Generic emergency information (e.g. "Diabetic") obtained for the 91 1 calling device 100 is returned to the content collection node 130 in a content query response.
In step 306 of Fig. 3, the content collection node 130 transmits intersecting potential locations and generic emergency information (e.g. "HEALTH: DIABETIC VERIFY 'ARE YOU AT HOME?' 17703 PEACH BLOSSON DR ATLN") collected for the 911 calling device 100, to the conventional ALI database 330 via the legacy E2 query interface 310.
In step 307, the ALI database 330 places intersecting potential locations and generic emergency data (e.g. "HEALTH: DIABETIC VERIFY 'ARE YOU AT HOME?' 17703 PEACH BLOSSON DR ATLN") retrieved for the 91 1 calling device in to a location description field (or other suitable field) of a convention ALI query response. The ALI query response is then returned to the requesting public safety answering point (PSAP) 300 via the legacy E2 query interface 310. There are currently ~200+ characters available in a convention E2 location description field.
In step 308 of Fig. 3, the ALI query response containing subscriber profile information dynamically selected for the 91 1 calling device, is received on the requesting public safety answering point (PSAP) 300, and the legacy ALI query is hereby fulfilled.
Fig. 5 depicts an illustrative example of a subscriber profile provisioned for a subscribing communications device, in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
As depicted in Fig. 3, a subscriber profile 500 preferably contains identification credentials (e.g. name 534, age 536, etc.) 532 for users of a corresponding communications device 502.
In addition, a subscriber profile 500 defined for a subscribing communications device 502 may contain a contact list 504. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a contact list 504 lists identification credentials (e.g. MIN, MDN, IP address, etc.) 506 for communications recipients
to which a subscriber permits pre-provisioned subscriber information to be transmitted with a communications event.
In a preferable embodiment, a contact list 504 may contain emergency service personnel 506b by default. Therefore, subscriber information pre-provisioned for a calling device 502 is always permitted to be transmitted to emergency service personnel (e.g., a Public Safety Answering Point, fire department dispatch personnel, etc.) upon initiation of an emergency communications event (e.g., a 911 call).
Moreover, a subscriber profile 500 may additionally contain a potential location set 508. In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a potential location set 508 includes locations (e.g. an office building, house, vacation home, school, gym, etc.) 510 frequently inhabited by users of a communications device 502. In addition, a potential location set 508 preferably contains a precise address, and any floor number, apartment number, room number, etc 512., relevant to each potential location 510 listed therein.
Further, a subscriber profile 500 may contain a health profile 514. A health profile 514 lists medical conditions 516 and any prescription medicines 518 currently consumed by users of a communications device 502.
Further yet, a subscriber profile 500 may contain an emergency contact list 520. An emergency contact list 520 lists identification credentials 522 for communications recipients that a subscriber wishes to notify upon initiation of an emergency communications event (e.g. a 911 call). In a preferable embodiment, an emergency contact list 520 pre-provisioned for a calling device 502 is automatically furnished to appropriate emergency dispatch personnel with emergency communications events (e.g. a 911 call) initiated by that calling device 502.
Moreover, a subscriber profile 500 preferably contains subscriber preferences 524. Subscriber preferences 524 defined in a subscriber profile 500 place restrictive conditions on stored subscriber information that may be transmitted to a recipient device with a communications event. In particular, a subscriber profile 500 may contain subscriber preferences 524 that permit only
certain data 526 defined in a subscriber profile 500 to be furnished to certain communications recipients 506 specified in a communications event. Moreover, subscriber preferences 524 may specify a particular time (e.g. a particular time of day, day of week, etc.) 528 at which a communications system is permitted to furnish certain data defined in a subscriber profile 500 to certain communications recipient devices 506. For instance, a subscriber may define preferences that only permit location information to be furnished to certain recipient devices up to a certain time of day 528 (e.g. a subscriber may not want to share location information with certain communications recipients after 6pm). Further, a subscriber profile 500 may contain subscriber preferences 524 that only permit location information to be furnished to recipient devices located within a specific geographic area 530 (e.g. a subscriber may only wish to share location information with recipient devices located in a predefined geographic boundary).
The present invention may be extremely valuable to parties (i.e. a calling party and/or a recipient party) engaged in an emergency communications event (e.g. a 911 call).
For instance, the present invention permits a potential location set (i.e. a list of precise potential locations) pre-provisioned for a 911 calling device to be transmitted to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) with an emergency communications event (e.g. a 911 call). A potential location set received with an emergency communications event permits emergency dispatch personnel to furnish a multiple choice question, e.g., "Are you at home, your vacation house, or work?", to a 911 calling party, regarding a location of a corresponding 911 calling device. A multiple choice question based on a calling party's potential location set may enable emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) to retrieve a higher fidelity location description for a 911 calling device, following verbal verification from a caller. For instance, if a 911 caller answers, e.g. "Yes, I am home.", emergency dispatch personnel may refer to the 911 caller's potential location profile to attain a precise location for the 911 calling device. This ability to retrieve precise location data for a 911 calling device is extremely valuable in the case that a 91
caller is calling, e.g., from a condominium in a large complex, because precise location information defined in a subscriber profile may contain an actual condominium number, floor number, apartment number, etc., that is not obtainable via a latitude/longitude pair conventionally retrieved for a 911 calling device.
For example, when a mobile subscriber places a 911 call via a wireless 911 calling device, that mobile subscriber can reasonably expect location information (e.g. a lat/lon pair) for that 91 calling device to be obtained and routed to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) with the emergency communications event (i.e. the 911 call). A lat/lon pair obtained for a 911 calling device enables emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) to identify a geographic location for the 911 calling device.
However, if a 911 calling party is located in an apartment building, office building, condominium, etc., a lat/lon pair obtained for a 911 calling device will not enable a 911 call dispatcher to determine a specific floor number, room number, apartment number, etc., in/on which the 911 calling device is located. With the present invention, emergency dispatch personnel may refer to a potential location set received with a 911 communications event, to attain a higher fidelity location description for a 911 calling device, following verbal verification from a caller.
The present invention also permits a health profile pre-provisioned for a 911 calling device to be transmitted to emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) with an emergency communications event (e.g. a 911 call). Emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) may refer to a health profile received with an emergency communications event, to offer a list of options to a 911 calling party regarding a type of assistance that is being requested. More particularly, medical information furnished with a communications event may prompt emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) to furnish a multiple choice question (e.g., "Are you having an asthma attack or experiencing diabetic
complications?") to a 911 calling party, to retrieve a higher fidelity emergency description after attaining verbal verification (e.g. "Yes, I am having an asthma attack.") from a caller. Further, in the case that a 911 caller is unable to speak, emergency dispatch personnel (e.g. a Public Safety Answering Point) may say to a caller, e.g., "Press one button on your keypad if you are having an asthma attack or press two buttons on your keypad if you are experiencing diabetic complications". Furnishing a health profile to emergency dispatch personnel with a 911 communications event, permits emergency personnel to arrive at a scene prepared, rather than requiring emergency personnel to assess an emergency situation upon arrival.
The present invention differs from a conventional means of forwarding complementary caller information to a recipient device with a communications event because the present invention provides the ability to determine when caller information is permitted to be transmitted, and what caller information is permitted to be transmitted, based on: communication recipient credentials, subscriber preferences, and any relevant variables, e.g., time of day, location of recipient device, etc.
The present invention may provide a mobile subscriber verified potential location set (e.g. home, office, vacation home) to emergency services and/or commercial entities (e.g., delivery services, marketing services, etc.) with a communications event initiated by that mobile subscriber's mobile device.
The present invention has particular applicability to messaging services, e.g., Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging System (MMS), Real-Time Text (RTT), etc. The present invention also has particular applicability to commercial services.
The present invention also has particular applicability to emergency services, and provides a method of providing mobile subscriber information based upon credentials and variables.
While the invention has been describer with reference to the exemplary embodiments thereof, those skilled in the art will be able to make
various modifications to the described embodiments of the invention without departing from the true spirit of the invention.
