Abstract

Systems and methods are described for responding to an event, the method comprising receiving, by a server over a network, a notice indicating the occurrence of the event at a facility, classifying, by the server, the event based at least in part on the notice, generating, by the server, at least one message corresponding to each of at least one device, wherein each of the at least one message is generated based, at least in part, on at least one role associated with the each of the at least one device, and transmitting, by the server over the network, the at least one message to the each of the at least one device.

Claims

1. A method for responding to or planning for an event, the method comprising:

receiving, by a server over a network, a notice indicating the occurrence of the event at a facility;

classifying, by the server, the event based at least in part on the notice,

generating, by the server, at least one message corresponding to each of at least one device, wherein each of the at least one message is generated based, at least in part, on at least one role associated with the each of the at least one device; and

transmitting, by the server over the network, the at least one message to the each of the at least one device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising requesting, by the server, additional data from a mobile device.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the requesting comprises:

activating, by the server, a communication device of the mobile device; and

receiving, by the server, the additional data obtained from the communication device.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the communication device is at least one of:

a photographic camera of the mobile device, a video camera of the mobile device, and a microphone of the mobile device.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the notice is sent by the mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating comprises:

retrieving rules based, at least in part, on the at least one role associated with the each of the at least one device; and

selectively generating the at least one message based, at least in part, on the rules and the notice.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the notice comprises at least one of:

a geo-location data representing a geological location in which the event occurs, a time stamp representing the time at which the event occurred, and a user comment.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the geo-location data further comprises at least one of:

a section of the facility associated with the geological location, an identification of the section, an address associated with the section, contact information associate with the section, and a map representing the section.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the user comment is at least one of the following:

a text input, a voice input, a photographic input, and a video input.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, with the server to a personnel associated with the server, a presentation of the event, the presentation comprising at least one of:

a map showing a location of the event, a classification of the event, a time stamp of the event, contact information, and information of the identity of a user associated with a mobile device.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting comprises forcing, by the server, the at least one device to display the corresponding at least one message.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one message comprises a set of at least one instruction for responding to the event.

13. A system for responding to or planning for an event, comprising:

a mobile device;

a plurality of devices; and

a server configured to

receive a notice indicating the occurrence of the event at a facility;

classify the event based at least in part on the notice,

generate at least one message corresponding to each of at least one device, wherein each of the at least one message is generated based, at least in part, on at least one role associated with the each of the at least one device; and

transmit the at least one message to the each of the at least one device.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the server is further configured to request additional data from a mobile device.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the server is further configured to

activate a communication device of the mobile device;

and

receive the additional data obtained from the communication device.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the communication device is at least one of:

a photographic camera of the mobile device, a video camera of the mobile device, and a microphone of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the mobile device is configured to send the notice.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the generating comprises:

retrieving rules based, at least in part, on the at least one role associated with the each of the at least one device; and

selectively generating the at least one message based, at least in part, on the rules and the notice.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the notice comprises at least one of:

a geo-location data representing a geological location in which the event occurs, a time stamp representing the time at which the event occurred, and a user comment.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the geo-location data further comprises at least one of:

a section of the facility associated with the geological location, an identification of the section, an address associated with the section, contact information associate with the section, and a map representing the section.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the user comment is at least one of the following:

a text input, a voice input, a photographic input, and a video input.

22. The method of claim 13, the server is further configured to display to a personnel associated with the server, a presentation of the event, the presentation comprising at least one of:

a map showing a location of the event, a classification of the event, a time stamp of the event, contact information, and information of the identity of a user associated with a mobile device.

23. The method of claim 13, wherein the server is further configured to force the devices to display the message.

24. The method of claim 13, wherein the at least one message comprises a set of at least one instruction for responding to the event.

25. A method for responding to or planning for an event, comprising:

receiving user input indicating the occurrence of the event at a facility;

determining whether a user had cancelled sending a notice with a predetermined period of time; and

sending the notice automatically when the user has not cancelled the sending of the notice.
