Alert notification network
First Claim
1. Network server operable to communicate information over a half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communications system, comprising:
- a location manager operable to determine geographic location of a plurality of recipients;
an alert notification manager for preparing alert messages based upon information regarding events and respective geographic locations of the events; and
a message delivery notification manager operable to deliver alert messages to the recipients over the half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system based upon the geographic location of each recipient relative to the geographic locations of the events, with the alert messages being delivered to the recipients without completion of incoming call acceptance by the recipients that are required by conventional full-duplex cellular communication systems;
wherein the network server is operable to;
identify available services compatible with network latencies due to delay times of the push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system; and
collect appropriate alert messages consistent with the identified services.

Abstract
A network server operable to communicate information over a half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system includes a location manager operable to determine geographic location of a plurality of recipients, an alert notification manager for preparing alert messages based information regarding events and respective geographic locations of the events, and a message delivery notification manager operable to deliver alert messages to the recipients over the half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system based upon the geographic location of each recipient relative to the geographic locations of the events, with the alert messages being delivered to the recipients without completion of calling procedures and incoming call acceptance by the recipients that are required by conventional full-duplex cellular communication systems.

14. Method for communicating information through a half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communications system, comprising:
- interfacing a network server with a wireless carrier core IP network, the network server operable to;
locate and determine direction of travel of push-to-talk telematics units within a geographic area; receive alert messages related to events and respective geographic locations of the events; aggregate the alert messages; prepare the alert messages for delivery, where the prepared alert messages include the respective geographic locations of the events; schedule and format the alert messages for delivery to the push-to-talk telematics units over the half-duplex push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system, based upon the geographic location and direction of travel of each push-to-talk telematics units relative to the geographic locations of the events, where the alert messages are delivered to the push-to-talk telematics units without completion of incoming call acceptance by the push-to-talk telematics units that are required by conventional full-duplex cellular communication systems; identify available services compatible with network latencies due to delay times of the push-to-talk over cellular wireless communication system; and collect appropriate alert messages consistent with the identified services.
