Method and system for providing location dependent and personal identification information to a public safety answering point
First Claim
1. A method for providing transmitter location and personal identification information to a public safety answering point, comprising the steps of:
- receiving at a base station at least one transmission packet signal having a transmitter identification number;
determining location dependent information which is representative of the location of the transmitter relative to the base station;
at each receiving base station, generating a base station packet that includes the transmitter identification number and the location dependent information; and
transmitting the base station packet to a command center.

Abstract
A method and system are provided for sending location dependent and personal identification information to a public safety answering point. Base stations for receiving a transmission packet signal having a transmitter identification number are located throughout an area where personal security coverage is desired. Whenever a personal security transmitter is activated, it is received by one or more base stations. Each base station has a signal receiving unit for receiving a transmission packet signal and a signal processing unit for processing a transmission packet signal and generating a base station packet. Base station packets contain both a transmitter identification number and location information about the activated transmitter. After a base station packet is generated, it is sent to a command center for processing. If a valid base station packet is received at a command center, information contained in the base station packet is used to determine the closest base station to the activated transmitter and to retrieve personal identification information about the person to whom the transmitter was issued. This location and personal identification information is then displayed at the command center or public safety answering point.
