Providing status of user devices during an adverse condition
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a processing module of a first user device of a plurality of user devices, the method comprises:
- establishing, by the first user device, information regarding a potentially adverse condition associated with one or more user devices of the plurality of user devices, wherein the information includes one or more of;
geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition, an identifier of the potentially adverse condition, and a relevant time period of the potentially adverse condition;
determining, by the first user device, group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition, wherein the group constraints include one or more of;
family member devices, neighbor devices, friend devices, first responders, co-workers, and devices of other persons having an affiliating commonality;
selecting, by the first user device, a subset of user devices of the plurality of user devices to produce selected user devices, wherein each of the selected user devices has an affiliation with the group in accordance with at least some of the group constraints;
obtaining, by the first user device, a status associated with each of at least some of the selected user devices to produce a status set; and
issuing, by the first user device, a status response message to the selected user devices, wherein the status response message includes the status set.

Abstract
A method includes establishing information regarding a potentially adverse condition associated with one or more user devices. The information includes one or more of: geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition, an identifier of the potentially adverse condition, and a relevant time period of the potentially adverse condition. The method further includes determining group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition. The group constraints include one or more of: family member devices, neighbor devices, friend devices, first responders, co-workers, and devices of other persons having an affiliating commonality. The method further includes selecting user devices to produce selected user devices. The selected user devices have an affiliation with the group. The method further includes obtaining status associated with the selected user devices and issuing the status to the selected user devices.

10. A computing device comprises:
-
an interface; a memory; and a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processing module functions to; establish information regarding a potentially adverse condition associated with one or more user devices of a plurality of user devices, wherein the information includes one or more of;
geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition, an identifier of the potentially adverse condition, and a relevant time period of the potentially adverse condition;determine group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition, wherein the group constraints include one or more of;
family member devices, neighbor devices, friend devices, first responders, co-workers, and devices of other persons having an affiliating commonality;select a subset of user devices of the plurality of user devices to produce selected user devices, wherein each of the selected user devices has an affiliation with the group in accordance with at least some of the group constraints; obtain a status associated with each of at least some of the selected user devices to produce a status set; and issue, via the interface, a status response message to the selected user devices, wherein the status response message includes the status set. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
