PROVIDING STATUS OF USER DEVICES DURING AN ADVERSE EVENT
First Claim
1. A method for execution by a processing module of an application server, the method comprises:
- establishing, by the application server, information regarding a potentially adverse condition, wherein the information includes one or more of;
geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition, an identifier of the potentially adverse condition, and a relevant time period of the potentially adverse condition;
determining, by the application server, group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition, wherein the group constraints include one or more of;
family member devices, neighbor devices, friend devices, first responders, co-workers, and devices of other persons having an affiliating commonality;
selecting, by the application server, one or more user devices of a plurality of user devices affiliated with the group to produce selected user devices, wherein each of the selected user devices is associated with a set of geographic location coordinates that is within the geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition;
obtaining, by the application server, for each selected user device, a status associated with the selected user device; and
issuing, by the application server, a status response message to at least some of the user devices of the plurality of user devices affiliated with the group, wherein the status response message includes the status associated with each selected user device.

Abstract
A method begins by an application server establishing information regarding a potentially adverse condition and determining group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition. The method continues with the application server selecting one or more user devices of a plurality of user devices affiliated with the group to produce selected user devices. The method continues with the application server obtaining, for each selected user device, a status associated with the selected user device and issuing a status response message to at least some of the user devices of the plurality of user devices affiliated with the group, where the status response message includes the status associated with each selected user device.

10. A computing device comprises:
-
an interface; a memory; and a processing module operably coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processing module functions to; establish information regarding a potentially adverse condition, wherein the information includes one or more of;
geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition, an identifier of the potentially adverse condition, and a relevant time period of the potentially adverse condition;determine group constraints for a group regarding the potentially adverse condition, wherein the group constraints include one or more of;
family member devices, neighbor devices, friend devices, first responders, co-workers, and devices of other persons having an affiliating commonality;select one or more user devices of a plurality of user devices affiliated with the group to produce selected user devices, wherein each of the selected user devices is associated with a set of geographic location coordinates that is within the geographic location coordinates of the potentially adverse condition; obtain for each selected user device, a status associated with the selected user device; and issue a status response message to at least some of the user devices of the plurality of user devices affiliated with the group, wherein the status response message includes the status associated with each selected user device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
