System and method for handling emergency image messaging
First Claim
1. A method for routing emergency image messages to a public safety answering point (PSAP), said method comprising:
- receiving an emergency data message from a wireless communications device;
identifying that the emergency data message includes an image;
generating an emergency data type indicating that the emergency data message includes an image;
determining a location of the wireless communications device used to send the emergency data message;
communicating the emergency data type to an emergency data message router database to identify one or more PSAPs local to the wireless communications device based upon the determined location of the wireless communications device and determine at least one PSAP capable of receiving the emergency data message that includes an image; and
routing the emergency data message that includes an image to the at least one PSAP local to the wireless communications device and capable of receiving emergency data messages that includes an image.

Abstract
A system and method for routing emergency image messages to a PSAP may include receiving an emergency data message and identifying that the emergency data message includes an image. A location of a wireless communications device used to send the emergency data message may be determined. At least one PSAP local to the emergency communications device may be identified and a determination as to which, if any, of the at least one PSAP is capable of receiving an emergency data message that includes an image may be made. The emergency data message that includes an image may be routed to a PSAP local to the wireless communications device and capable of receiving emergency data messages that include an image.
