Abstract

A computer aided prioritization (CAP) system may receive, from the emergency event reporter device, an emergency event including a priority selected from a set of event priorities and a type of event selected from a set of event types associated with the selected event priority; determine, based on the emergency event and without querying the emergency event reporter device for additional information, whether the emergency event indicates a higher priority emergency event to be handled by a computer aided dispatch (CAD) system or a lower priority emergency event to be handled automatically by a computer aided event module (CAEM); and selectively route the emergency event report to at least one of the CAD system and the CAEM according to the determination.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

receive a possible abandoned call for an emergency event;

determine that at least one of the possible abandoned call includes an audible voice and the possible abandoned call is associated with a user input;

determine, by the CAP system, at least one of an event priority and an event type associated with the possible abandoned call;

determine, by the CAEM, that the possible abandoned call is associated with at least one of an activated phone number and a de-activated phone number according to an automatic number identification (ANI) database;

in response to the possible abandoned call being associated with the activated phone number, at least one of;

initiate a re-bid to the activated phone number,

send a message to the activated phone number, and

establish a caller location of the possible abandoned call;

in response to the possible abandoned call being associated with the de-activated phone number, establish the caller location of the possible abandoned call; and

selectively route, by the CAP system or the CAEM based on at least one of the audible voice determination and the user input determination, the possible abandoned call to at least one of the computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, the customer premises equipment (CPE), and the computer aided event module (CAEM).

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the selectively route, by the CAP system, is further based on caller location information for the possible abandoned call according to at least one of an automatic location identification (ALI) database, cellular triangulation, and a global positioning system (GPS);

and

the operations further comprising automatically send the message to a caller device associated with the possible abandoned call.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the message requests the user input from the caller device, and the user input is by way of at least one of a keypad and a touchscreen of the caller device.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the message includes at least one of a voice message, a keypad or touchscreen entry, and a text message, and the selectively route, by the CAP system, is further based on at least one of the event priority and the event type.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the voice message to the caller device associated with the possible abandoned call includes at least one of an automated voice message, a predefined voice message, or a pre-recorded voice message.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein the text message includes at least one of an automated text message and a predefined text message requesting the user input from the caller device associated with the possible abandoned call.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the selectively route the possible abandoned call is in response to incident information according to at least one of an Emergency Incident Data Document (ElDD), a National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), an Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP), and an Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) standard.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computer aided prioritization (CAP) system in communication with a computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, a customer premises equipment (CPE), and a computer aided event module (CAEM) including an abandoned call processing method (ACPM), a possible abandoned call for an emergency event;

determining that at least one of the possible abandoned call includes an audible voice and the possible abandoned call is associated with a user input;

determining, by the CAP system, at least one of an event priority and an event type associated with the possible abandoned call;

determining, by the CAEM, that the possible abandoned call is associated with at least one of an activated phone number and a de-activated phone number according to an automatic number identification (ANI) database;

in response to the possible abandoned call being associated with the activated phone number, at least one of;

initiating a re-bid to the activated phone number,

sending a message to the activated phone number, and

establishing a caller location of the possible abandoned call;

in response to the possible abandoned call being associated with the de-activated phone number, establishing the caller location of the possible abandoned call; and

selectively routing, by the CAP system or the CAEM based on at least one of the audible voice determination and the user input determination, the possible abandoned call to at least one of the computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, the customer premises equipment (CPE), and the computer aided event module (CAEM).

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the selectively routing, by the CAP system, is further based on caller location information for the possible abandoned call according to at least one of an automatic location identification (ALI) database, cellular triangulation, and a global positioning system (GPS);

and

further comprising automatically sending the message to a caller device associated with the possible abandoned call.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the message requests the user input from the caller device, and the user input is by way of at least one of a keypad and a touchscreen of the caller device.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the message includes at least one of a voice message, a keypad or touchscreen entry, and a text message, and the selectively routing, by the CAP system, is further based on at least one of the event priority and the event type.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the voice message to the caller device associated with the possible abandoned call includes at least one of an automated voice message, a predefined voice message, or a pre-recorded voice message.
