Method and system for emergency control of a voice/data communications device
First Claim
1. A method, comprising the following steps:
- receiving an emergency communications signal from a voice/data communications device to an emergency responder communications device, the emergency communications signal comprising at least one of (1) a communications signal, (2) a communications address for communicating with an emergency site communications device, (3) remote activation data associated with the emergency site communications device, (4) emergency data, and (5) an emergency data communications address for accessing the emergency data;
generating a emergency remote control communications signal comprising at least one of (1) a response communications signal, (2) the communications address of the emergency site communications device, (3) a responder'"'"'s communications address, (4) a control parameter for accessing the emergency site communications device, (5) a control parameter for activating the emergency site communications device, (6) a control parameter for deactivating the emergency site communications device, (7) a control parameter for monitoring the emergency site communications device, (8) a control communications parameter for communicating with the emergency site communications device, and (9) an override parameter for terminating the emergency remote control communications signal; and
communicating the emergency remote control communications signal to the communications address of the emergency site communications device.

Abstract
Emergency remote control communications systems and methods provide remote access to, activation of, deactivation of, monitoring of, communications with, and/or otherwise management of a Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications device (and/or another peripheral communications device) in response to an emergency communication originating from the VoIP communications device. An emergency remote control communications software product detects an emergency communications signal, and, in response, generates an emergency remote control communications signal for communication to the VoIP communications device via a communications network.
