Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a situational crowd-sourced response system. The system may comprise at least one crowd-sourced response management (CSRM) control device and CSRM devices for subscribers. An event may be reported by a CSRM device (e.g., through an event notification) or from an external reporting system (e.g., EAS). The at least one CSRM control device may then determine if CSRM devices are in within a certain locational proximity to the event, credentials for the users of the proximate CSRM devices, etc., and may form response groups based on these determinations. At least one response group may then be activated to provide aid in regard to the event. Users may also be requested to confirm compliance with the response instructions so that, if necessary, additional response groups may be activated. Sensor and/or communication resources in the CSRM devices may be activated to coordinate crowd-sourced aid, emergency services, etc.

26. At least one device, comprising:
-
a communication module to at least one of transmit data to, or receive data from, devices that are part of a crowd-sourcing response management (CSRM) system; and a CSRM control module to; determine that an event has occurred; determine locational proximity of the CSRM devices to the event; organize the CSRM devices into response groups based at least on their locational proximity to the event; and cause event data to be transmitted via the communication module to at least one response group, the event data including at least response instructions. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A device, comprising:
-
a communication module to at least one of transmit data to, or receive data from, at least one control device in a crowd-sourcing response management (CSRM) system; and a CSRM client module to; register the device with the CSRM system, the device registration including at least preferences for interaction with the CSRM system; monitor for events or event notifications based on the preferences; and determine if at least one of an event has occurred or an event notification has been received based on the monitoring. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
