Method and system for an emergency location information service (E-LIS) from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
First Claim
1. A method for locating a network device during an emergency with an emergency information system (E-LIS), comprising:
- receiving on a server application on a server network device with one or more processors a wireless emergency message or a text-to-911 message from a mobile application on a first mobile network device with one or more processors via a wireless communications network indicating an emergency event has occurred with the first mobile network device;
sending a wireless emergency location request message from the server application on the server network device via the wireless communications network to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with one or more processors flying over a geographic area including the first mobile network device;
receiving on the server application on the server network device via the wireless communications network from the UAV a wireless emergency location response message including a current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates or 2D (X,Y) geo-space coordinates for the first mobile network device;
determining on the server application on the server network device with the current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates or 2D (X,Y) geo-space coordinates a current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device; and
sending an emergency response message or a 911-to-text message including the determined current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device from the server application on the server network device via a second communications network to a desired emergency response server with one or more processors.

Abstract
A method and system for determining and verifying a location of a network device in emergency situations with emergency messages including legacy 911, E911 and text-to-911 messages from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone. The method and system provide a current physical geographic location for mobile devices in urban areas (e.g., spot, chair, desk on in a room on a building floor, campus, enterprise, city, state, region, country, continent, etc.) and rural areas in an emergency situation such as an accident, fire, terrorist attack, military incident, weather, flood event, etc. and forwarding the current physical geographic location to a legacy 911 network, a Emergency Services IP networks (ESInet) or text-to-911 Short Message Services (SMS) networks to alert emergency responders.

16. A method for locating a network device during an emergency with an emergency information system (E-LIS), comprising:
-
receiving on a server application on a server network device with one or more processors via a wireless communications network from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) a wireless emergency location response message including a current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates or 2D (X,Y) geo-space coordinates for a first mobile network device with one or more processors, wherein a mobile application on the first mobile network device sent a first wireless emergency message or a first text-to-911 message on a pre-determined wireless frequency via the wireless communications network directly to the UAV indicating an emergency event has occurred with the first mobile network device; determining on the server application on the server network device with the current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates or 2D (X,Y) geo-space coordinates a current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device; and sending an emergency response message or a 911-to-text message including the determined current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device from the server application on the server network device via a second communications network to a desired emergency response server with one or more processors. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
