1. An Automatic Location Identifier (ALI) trigger mechanism comprising:
- a data tap configured to;
detect an ALI location request for an emergency services call; and
output a trigger signal in response to detecting the ALI location request, wherein the data tap is a passive component that does not interfere with the ALI location request from being sent to an ALI client or an ALI service;
anda metadata router configured to;
receive the trigger signal; and
output an enhanced caller information request to a metadata server in response to the trigger signal.

Abstract
An Automatic Location Identifier (ALI) trigger mechanism can include a data tap configured to detect an ALI location request for an emergency services call. The data tap can also be configured to output a trigger signal in response to detecting the ALI location request. The ALI trigger mechanism can also include a metadata router configured to receive the trigger signal and output an enhanced caller information request to a metadata server in response to the trigger signal.

7. A system comprising:
-
an Automatic Location Identifier (ALI) trigger mechanism comprising; a data tap configured to output a trigger signal in response to detecting an ALI location request for an emergency service call by a caller, wherein the data tap is a passive device that does not interfere with the ALI location request from being sent to an ALI client or an ALI service; and a metadata router configured to output an enhanced caller information request in response to the trigger signal; and a metadata server comprising one or more computing devices, the metadata server being configured to; receive the enhanced caller information request via a network; and query an information source via the network for information related to an end-user device employed to initiate the emergency services call and/or the caller. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
detecting a location request provided to an Automatic Location Identifier (ALI) client via a cable, wherein the ALI location request includes a locator key corresponding to an emergency services call initiated by a wireless phone; providing, by a data tap, a trigger to a metadata router in response to detecting the ALI location request, wherein the data tap is a passive component that does not interfere with the ALI location request from being sent to an ALI client or an ALI service; and generating an enhanced caller information request in response to receiving the trigger, wherein the enhanced caller information request includes the locator key. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
