Abstract

Methods, systems, and products provide emergency services. A sender'"'"'s communications address and an emergency response communications address are associated to a profile. A current geographic location associated with the sender'"'"'s communications address is retrieved and communicated to the emergency response communications address.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a communication from a sender'"'"'s communications address to an emergency response communications address;

associating the sender'"'"'s communications address and the emergency response communications address to a profile;

retrieving a current geographic location associated with the sender'"'"'s communications address; and

communicating the current geographic location to the emergency response communications address.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising querying for the current geographic location.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising activating a position locator to obtain the current geographic location.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising retrieving from the profile a communications address of a local communications network.

5. The method according to claim 1, further comprising retrieving from the profile information describing a communications device at an emergency communications address.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising retrieving from the profile a communications device at an emergency site.

7. The method according to claim 6, further comprising identify a room associated with the communications device at the emergency site.

8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising communicating the room to the emergency response communications address.

9. A system, comprising:

a processor executing code stored in memory that causes the processor to;

receive a communication from a sender'"'"'s communications address to an emergency response communications address;

associate the sender'"'"'s communications address to a profile;

retrieve from the profile a service node serving a communications device associated with the sender'"'"'s communications address; and

communicate the service node to the emergency response communications address.

10. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for associating the profile to the service node.

11. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for activating a position locator.

12. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for retrieving from the profile a communications address of a local communications network.

13. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for retrieving from the profile information describing the communications device.

14. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for retrieving from the profile presentation data associated with a graphical user interface.

15. The system according to claim 9, further comprising code for identifying a room associated with the communications device.

16. The system according to claim 15, further comprising code for communicating the room to the emergency response communications address.

17. A computer readable medium storing processor executable instructions for performing a method, the method comprising:

receiving a communication from a sender'"'"'s communications address to an emergency response communications address;

associating the sender'"'"'s communications address to a profile;

retrieving a network communications address from the profile that is associated with a residential network;

sending an emergency signal to the network communications address;

receiving a location from the network communications address; and

communicating the location to the emergency response communications address.

18. The computer readable medium according to claim 17, further comprising instructions for associating the profile to a service node.

19. The computer readable medium according to claim 17, further comprising instructions for activating a position locator.

20. The computer readable medium according to claim 17, further comprising instructions for identifying a room associated with the location.
