SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING AND COLLECTING DATA MESSAGES BEING COMMUNICATED OVER A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for capturing emergency data messages in a network environment, said method comprising:
- receiving, at a first network node, an emergency data message communicated from a wireless communications device, the emergency data message being accompanied by an origination address and destination address indicative of an emergency network address;
determining, at the first network node, whether the origination address matches a monitored address established by a law enforcement agency to capture data messages to or from the monitored address; and
if the origination address matches the monitored address;
routing a copy of the emergency data message to a second network node for collection of the emergency data message; and
routing the emergency data message to the destination address;
otherwise, routing the emergency data message to the destination address.

Abstract
A system and method for capturing emergency data messages in a network environment includes receiving, at a first network node, an emergency data message communicated from a wireless communications device. The emergency data message may be accompanied by an origination address and destination address indicative of an emergency network address. A determination may be made at the first network node to determine whether the origination address matches a monitored address established by a law enforcement agency to capture data messages to or from the origination address. If it is determined that the origination address matches the monitored address, then a copy of the emergency data message may be routed to a second network node for collection of the emergency data message and the emergency data message may be routed to the destination address. Otherwise, the emergency data message may be routed to the destination address.
