System and method for providing centralized management and distribution of information to remote users
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- accessing, by a processor, emergency response data concerning an organization, the emergency response data comprising contact list data associated with a first person associated with the organization, work site location data associated with the first person, work site location data associated with a second person associated with the organization, and contact data associated with the second person;
receiving, by the processor from a second computing device over a communications network, a triggering notification indicating the occurrence of an emergency event at an emergency location;
determining, by the processor based on the emergency response data, that the work site location associated with the first person is within a predetermined geographical area that includes the emergency location;
assigning, by the processor, the second person as an emergency contact associated with the first person based on the work site location data associated with the second person; and
transmitting, by the processor over the communications network to one or more communication devices associated with one or more persons identified in the contact list data associated with the first person, an electronic communication indicating the occurrence of the emergency event, the electronic communication identifying the emergency location and the second person assigned as the emergency contact and comprising the contact data associated with the second person.

Abstract
The invention includes systems, methods, and software applications for centrally maintaining information and automatically distributing relevant portions of the information to remote users. In one embodiment, a central server stores the information, which is maintained on the central server. Periodically, or each time the server information is updated, the server identifies the portion of the information that is relevant to each user and downloads the relevant portion of information to each user, for example to a mobile device such as a Blackberry™. The invention may be used to maintain and timely distribute information related to emergency response procedures, sales or servicing schedules, and delivery schedules, among other things.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
accessing, by a processor, emergency response data concerning an organization, the emergency response data comprising contact list data associated with a first person associated with the organization, work site location data associated with the first person, work site location data associated with a second person associated with the organization, and contact data associated with the second person; receiving, by the processor from a second computing device over a communications network, a triggering notification indicating the occurrence of an emergency event at an emergency location; determining, by the processor based on the emergency response data, that the work site location associated with the first person is within a predetermined geographical area that includes the emergency location; assigning, by the processor, the second person as an emergency contact associated with the first person based on the work site location data associated with the second person, the responsibility area data associated with the second person, and the responsibility area data associated with the first person; and transmitting, by the processor over the communications network to one or more communication devices associated with one or more persons identified in the contact list data associated with the first person, an electronic communication indicating the occurrence of the emergency event, the electronic communication identifying the emergency location and the second person assigned as the emergency contact and comprising the contact data associated with the second person. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
