PERSONAL SAFETY MOBILE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of alerting emergency responders to the existence of an emergency situation, the method comprising:
- storing, by an encapsulator of a mobile device in communication with a mobile communications network, encapsulation data from one or more data sensors of the mobile device;
activating, by a user of the mobile device, an alert mode of the mobile device;
in the alert mode;
sending, by the mobile device, the encapsulation data, in substantially real-time, to an emergency database in communication with the mobile communications network;
sending, by the emergency database, a first emergency alert notification to one or more emergency alert groups associated with the user; and
sending, by the mobile device, a second emergency alert notification to one or more additional mobile devices in a predetermined physical proximity to the mobile device.

Abstract
Described embodiments provide a system for alerting emergency responders to the existence of an emergency situation. The system includes multiple mobile devices in communication with a mobile communications network. Each mobile device includes an encapsulator for capturing encapsulation data from one or more data sensors of the mobile device. Each mobile device can be placed into an alert mode by a user of the mobile device. An emergency database in communication with the mobile communications network and one or more emergency response dispatchers receives, from one or more mobile devices in the alert mode, the encapsulation data, in substantially real-time. The emergency database sends an emergency alert notification to one or more alert groups associated with the users of each mobile devices in alert mode. Each mobile device sends an emergency alert notification to one or more additional mobile devices in a predetermined physical proximity to the mobile device.

20. A system for alerting emergency responders to the existence of an emergency situation, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of mobile devices in communication with a mobile communications network, each mobile device comprising an encapsulator for capturing encapsulation data from one or more data sensors of the mobile device, wherein each mobile device is configured to be selectably placed into an alert mode by a user of the mobile device; an emergency database in communication with the mobile communications network, the emergency database also in communication with one or more emergency response dispatchers; a pre-processor coupled to the emergency database; wherein, when one or more of the mobile devices are in the alert mode; each mobile device in the alert mode is configured to send the encapsulation data, in substantially real-time, to the emergency database; the pre-processor of the emergency database is configured to (i) analyze data from one or more emergency alerts to determine whether each emergency alert is corresponding to a new emergency situation or an emergency situation that is already reported to one or more emergency response dispatchers, (ii) compile encapsulation data from each mobile device in the alert mode into a single emergency alert report, and (iii) provide the single emergency alert report to one or more emergency dispatcher; the emergency database is configured to send a first emergency alert notification to one or more emergency alert groups associated with the users of each mobile devices in the alert mode; and each mobile device is further configured to send a second emergency alert notification to one or more additional mobile devices in a predetermined physical proximity to the mobile device.
