Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data associated with an event. The method includes identifying a parameter of the event. The method also includes identifying a buffer to store the data associated with the event based on the parameter the event. The method further includes storing the data associated with the event in the buffer. The method also includes determining whether data stored in the buffer meet a predetermined condition. The method further includes sending the data in the buffer.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving data associated with an event;

identifying a parameter of the event;

identifying a buffer to store the data associated with the event based on the parameter the event;

storing the data associated with the event in the buffer;

determining whether data stored in the buffer meet a predetermined condition; and

sending the data in the buffer.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is based on a priority of the event.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined condition is based an amount of time the data has been in the buffer.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is based on an amount of the data in the buffer and a cost to transmit the data in the buffer.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the data in the buffer comprises:

responsive to identifying that the parameter of the event indicates the event is a non-emergency event, sending the data associated with event using a first send queue, wherein data associated with an emergency event is sent using a second send queue.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the data in the buffer comprises:

responsive to identifying that the parameter of the event indicates the event is a non-emergency event, sending the data associated with the event and data associated with an emergency event using a send queue while giving the data associated with the emergency event out-of-order priority over the data associated with the non-emergency event in the send queue.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the data in the buffer comprises:

sending the data in the buffer from multiple events using a single data transmission.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein sending the data in the buffer comprises:

sending the sending the data in the buffer using a wireless connection.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

updating the predetermined condition according to a status of the wireless connection.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is based upon an availability of transports to transmit the data, wherein the transports include at least one of a GSM network and a WiFi network.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein sending the data in the buffer comprises:

sending the data in the buffer when the WiFi network is available.

19. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the transmitter is further configured to send the sending the data in the buffer using a wireless connection.

12. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive data associated with an event;

a controller configured to identify a parameter of the event and identify a buffer to store the data associated with the event based on the parameter the event;

a buffer configured to store the data associated with the event in the buffer;

wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether data stored in the buffer meet a predetermined condition; and

a transmitter configured to send the data in the buffer.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition is based on a priority of the event

14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition is based on an amount of time the data has been in the buffer.

15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the predetermined condition is based on an amount of the data in the buffer and a cost to transmit the data in the buffer.

16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the transmitter is further configured to send the data associated with event using a first send queue, wherein data associated with an emergency event is sent using a second send queue.

17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the controller is further configured to control the transmitter to send the data associated with the event and data associated with an emergency event using a send queue while giving the data associated with the emergency event out-of-order priority over the data associated with the non-emergency event in the send queue.

18. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the transmitter is further configured to send the data in the buffer from multiple events using a single data transmission.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processing systems to:

receive data associated with an event;

identify a parameter of the event;

identify a buffer to store the data associated with the event based on the parameter the event;

store the data associated with the event in the buffer;

determine whether data stored in the buffer meet a predetermined condition; and

send the data in the buffer.

21. The computer readable medium of claim 20, wherein the predetermined condition is based on an amount of the data in the buffer and a cost to transmit the data in the buffer.

22. The computer readable medium of claim 20, wherein the instructions that cause one or more processing systems to send the data in the buffer include instructions that cause one or more processing systems to send the data in the buffer from multiple events using a single data transmission.
