INTERACTIVE EMERGENCY INFORMATION AND IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for interactive emergency information and identification, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a notification concerning an emergency situation, wherein the notification includes a location of the emergency situation;
defining, by the processor, a geo-fence representing a first physical area surrounding the location of the emergency situation;
receiving, by the processor, location information representing locations of a plurality of user devices, each user device being associated with an individual;
determining, by the processor, which of the user devices are located within the geo-fence based on the location information; and
transmitting, by the processor, information about the emergency situation to the user devices located within the geo-fence.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for interactive emergency information and identification is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a notification concerning an emergency situation, wherein the notification includes a location of the emergency situation, and defining, by the processor, a geo-fence representing a first physical area surrounding the location of the emergency situation. The method further includes receiving, by the processor, location information representing locations of a plurality of user devices, each user device being associated with an individual, and determining, by the processor, which of the user devices are located within the geo-fence based on the location information. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the processor, information about the emergency situation to the user devices located within the geo-fence.

21. A computer-implemented method for interactive emergency information and identification, the method comprising:
-
establishing, by a processor, a virtual beacon in association with a landmark; receiving, by the processor, location information representing locations of a plurality of user devices, each user device being associated with an individual associated with the landmark; determining, by the processor, which of the user devices are located within a subscription distance from the virtual beacon based on the location information; subscribing the individuals associated with user devices within the subscription distance to an emergency notification list; unsubscribing from the emergency notification list the individuals associated with user devices outside of the subscription distance; after establishing the virtual beacon, receiving, by a processor, a notification concerning an emergency situation, wherein the notification includes a location of the emergency situation; and transmitting, by the processor, information about the emergency situation to the user devices associated with the subscribed individuals. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A computer-implemented method for interactive emergency information and identification, the method comprising:
-
displaying, with a user interface executing on a user device associated with an individual, information about an emergency situation received by the user device; prompting, with the user interface, the individual to provide a current safety status of the individual; receiving, via an input to the user interface, the current safety status of the individual, the received safety status being subsequently transmitted to a transmitted to an emergency information and identification system; prompting, with the user interface, the individual to provide emergency situation data; and receiving, via an input to the user interface, emergency situation data, the received emergency situation data being subsequently transmitted to the emergency information and identification system. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
