Controlling IOT devices via public safety answering point
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a computing system at a public safety answering point (“
PSAP”
), at least one first message indicative of an emergency situation occurring at a customer premises;
analyzing, with the computing system, the at least one first message to determine one or more first actions to be taken in response to the emergency situation;
identifying, with the computing system, at least one of one or more household devices associated with the customer premises, one or more first vehicular components associated with a vehicle known to be associated with a resident of the customer premises, one or more utility devices associated with a utility service provider supplying at least one of electrical power, gas, or water to the customer premises, one or more second vehicular components associated with each of one or more emergency response vehicles, or one or more emergency response devices associated with one or more emergency responders for performing the determined one or more first actions to be taken, based at least in part on the analysis of the at least one first message; and
autonomously controlling, with the computing system, at least one of the identified one or more household devices, the identified one or more first vehicular components, the identified one or more utility devices, the identified one or more second vehicular components, or the identified one or more emergency response devices to perform one or more tasks, based at least in part on the determined one or more first actions to be taken.

Abstract
Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing Internet of Things (“IoT”) functionality with a Public Safety Answering Point (“PSAP”). In some embodiments, a computing system located at a PSAP might receive a first message indicative of an emergency situation, analyze the first message to determine one or more actions to be taken, and identify one or more devices (e.g., household devices; vehicular components associated with a vehicle; utility devices; devices disposed in, on, or along a roadway; devices disposed throughout a population area; etc.) for performing the determined one or more first actions. The computing system might then autonomously control each of the identified one or more devices to perform tasks based on the determined one or more first actions to be taken, thereby implementing smart environment functionality (e.g., smart home, building, or customer premises functionality, smart vehicle functionality, smart utility, smart roadway functionality, smart city functionality, etc.).

19. A system, comprising:
-
a computing system located at a Public Safety Answering Point (“
PSAP”
), comprising;a first transceiver; at least one first processor; and a first non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one first processor, the first non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a first set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the computing system to; receive at least one first message indicative of an emergency situation occurring at a customer premises via the first transceiver; analyze the at least one first message to determine one or more first actions to be taken in response to the emergency situation; identify at least one of one or more household devices associated with the customer premises, one or more first vehicular components associated with a vehicle known to be associated with a resident of the customer premises, one or more utility devices associated with a utility service provider supplying at least one of electrical power, gas, or water to the customer premises, one or more second vehicular components associated with each of one or more emergency response vehicles, or one or more emergency response devices associated with one or more emergency responders for performing the determined one or more first actions to be taken, based at least in part on the analysis of the at least one first message; and autonomously control at least one of the identified one or more household devices, the identified one or more first vehicular components, the identified one or more utility devices, the identified one or more second vehicular components, or the identified one or more emergency response devices to perform one or more tasks, based at least in part on the determined one or more first actions to be taken; and the at least one of the identified one or more household devices, the identified one or more first vehicular components, the identified one or more utility devices, the identified one or more second vehicular components, or the identified one or more emergency response devices, each comprising; a second transceiver; at least one second processor; and a second non-transitory computer readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one second processor, the second non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer software comprising a second set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes at least one of the identified one or more household devices, the identified one or more first vehicular components, the identified one or more utility devices, the identified one or more second vehicular components, or the identified one or more emergency response devices to; receive control instructions from the computing system; and perform the one or more tasks based on the received control instructions.
