System and Method for Updating Location Information of Voice-Over-Internet Protocol Based Devices for E911 Services
First Claim
1. A method for updating physical address location information of a wireless device for E-911 services, said method comprising:
- determining a current geographic coordinate location of a wireless device in communication with a data packet communications network; and
in response to determining that the current geographic coordinate location of the wireless device has moved beyond a predetermined distance from a last recorded geographic coordinate location, determining a physical address location associated with the current geographic coordinate location by receiving current physical address location from user input or from a networked database;
storing a record on the wireless device to associate the current physical address location with the current geographic coordinate location.

Abstract
A system and method for updating physical address location information of a wireless device for E911 services. The updating may include determining that the current geographical coordinate location of the wireless device has moved beyond a predetermined distance from a last recorded geographical coordinate location. A physical address location associated with the current geographical coordinate location may then be updated. The physical address location may be updated in the wireless device and/or a data repository operating on a data packet network. The physical address location may be communicated to a public safety answering point (PSAP) in response to an emergency 911 call being placed.
