Abstract

The primary objective of the invention is to provide a computer-implemented method for sending one or more alerts from a mobile alerting system stored in the non-transitory storage medium of an electronic device like mobile phones or smart phones etc. In one embodiment of the invention, the method of sending one or more alerts from a mobile alerting system stored in the non-transitory storage medium comprises of a centralized server and a plurality of mobile devices. Further in the same embodiment of the invention, the processor in the centralized server computes a plurality of instructions stored in the memory of the centralized server. Furthermore, the centralized server receives a primary alert initiation request comprising metadata generated from the primary mobile device, wherein the centralized server extracts the metadata of the alert. The alert is further delivered to a plurality of secondary mobile devices capable of telecommunication.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for sending one or more alerts from a mobile alerting system stored in a non-transitory storage medium of a plurality of mobile devices, said method comprising:

computing with the processor of a centralized server a plurality of instructions in the memory of said centralized server for;

receiving, at said centralized server, an primary alert initiation request generated at a primary mobile device, said primary alert initiation request comprising metadata of an primary alert to be delivered;

extracting, at said centralized server, said metadata based on said primary alert initiation request, said extracted metadata including information for delivering said primary alert from said mobile alerting system;

delivering, from said centralized server, a plurality of primary alert message to a plurality of secondary mobile devices capable of telecommunication;

receiving, at a plurality of secondary mobile device said primary alert message generated by the primary mobile device;

receiving, at the primary mobile device, a communication initiated by said secondary mobile devices,

auto-generating, at said primary mobile device, a secondary alert initiation request in an event wherein no communication is received at the primary mobile device within a specific period of time after said primary alert initiation request is generated;

collecting tracking data and alert responses associated with the alert delivered within the remote communication system;

updating the metadata stored persistently in the first storage place based on the tracking date and alert responses.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile alerting system comprises a mobile computing device, wherein the mobile computing device wirelessly communicates with the remote communication system.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the extracted metadata include at least one of alert content, alert parameters, recipients list, notification delivery device addresses, list of devices to be targeted and alert delivery scheduling.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile alerting system further comprises a dashboard represented in a graphical user interface, wherein the dashboard displays connectivity of the mobile computing device and alert status logs.
