Abstract
This present invention relates generally to wireless communications and emergency services. Safetylert, is an apparatus and method of an equipped GPS/A-GPS, GPS Reverse Geocoder wireless remote unit and/or an equipped GPS/A-GPS, GPS Reverse Geocoder wireless cell phone, also referred to as “communication device(s)” that can automatically transmit relevant information to a PSAP, when emergency services (i.e. 911) is prompted (emergency button) and/or dialed; the transmitted data information will enhance personal and medical safety, etc.; it will aid in countering terrorism (this equipment can be embedded within and applied to Voice Over Internet Protocol telephones, commonly known as “IP or VOIP” telephones, etc.). A Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) is a call center responsible for answering calls to an emergency telephone number (i.e. 911) for police, firefighting, and ambulance. Trained telephone operators are usually responsible for dispatching these emergency services.
The inventive step of this present invention, Safetylert, is the installation of the GPS Reverse geocoder database software technology embedded within the equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless “remote unit” and/or an equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless “cell phone handset”. Embedding the GPS reverse geocoder database software technology within each respective device(s), enables the ability for device(s) to automatically transmit relevant data information (i.e. actual street address format, and other non traditional formats, etc.) to a PSAP operator, when “911” is prompted (emergency button) and/or dialed; aiding the PSAP operator with necessary location/tracking information to dispatch emergency responders to the device location. Again, this equipment/inventive step can be embedded within and applied to “VOIP” telephones, etc.
The GPS reverse geocoder database software technology, embedded within each respective device, significantly increase the accuracy of address intelligence and emergency response time, quickly locating device. The embodiment of this invention will give emergency officials the capability of intervening or preventing an act of crime; prompt assistance in a medical emergency, prevents the loss of valuable time, etc. The information transmitted to the E911/911 emergency service (PSAP) from the equipped GPS/A-GPS, GPS Reverse Geocoder wireless remote unit and/or equipped GPS/A-GPS, GPS Reverse Geocoder wireless cell phone is similar to the traditional landline format. Long-Felt Need: This problem and particular area facing wireless telecommunications and the E911/911 system (as well as VOIP, etc.) has gone unsolved for a prolonged period. The presumption is if the solution had been obvious to those skilled in the art, they would have solved the problem.

3. Safetylert, is a solution as well as an invention. This present invention will:
- (1) improve the present E911/911 system in terms of wireless communications, i.e. GPS reverse geocoder database software technology embedded within equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless remote unit and/or equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless cell phone;
(2) provide safety enhancement to consumers, as well as our country;
(3) assist wireless service providers with meeting the “
FCC 911 Program”
requirements and deadlines;
(4) opportunity for wireless service providers to create “
additional revenue”
, i.e. software updates etc., see #6 of this paragraph;
(5) aid the government with combating terrorism;
(6) afford the federal government the opportunity for “
additional revenue”
;
via a government tax or charge for the GPS satellite network, etc. (7) the ability to have a universal E911/911 system via a central “
PSAP” and
/or reduce the number of “
PSAP”
centers needed;
while improving the safety of our country.This present invention will not only provide advantages, solution and benefits to the “
E911/911”
system;
this equipment/inventive step can also be embedded within and applied to “
VOIP”
telephones, etc. In addition to possible “
generating revenue”
opportunity previously stated, the U.S. Postal Service has an updated address database software (i.e. Cass, etc.) that can be licensed and the information can be purchased/sold to outside vendors, similar to “
Cass”
etc.The existing PSAP (E911/911) call centers are not all located within a telephone company building;
some are located within police departments or city/county locations, etc. This information is universal within the United States.A brief overview of existing PSAP;
The following is example(s) of a PSAP operator. receiving an emergency call from a GPS wireless cellular phone;
if the wireless cellular phone is not GPS enabled, the operator will not receive location coordinates;
in addition the PSAP must have the ability i.e. Enhanced 911 to receive coordinates, etc., addition information within this section.
- (1) improve the present E911/911 system in terms of wireless communications, i.e. GPS reverse geocoder database software technology embedded within equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless remote unit and/or equipped GPS/A-GPS wireless cell phone;
