Network for detection and monitoring of emergency situations
First Claim
1. A method of assessing a threat level associated with a distress signal, said method comprising:
- linking a client side communication system with a provider side communication system over a communications network, wherein said client side communication system comprises a first communication device, and wherein said provider side communication system comprises a second communication device;
linking said first communication device with said second communication device over said communications network;
transmitting a distress signal from said first communication device to said second communication device;
mapping, via said provider side communication system, a geographic origin of said distress signal;
transmitting an audio signal in a one-way communication link from said first communication device to said second communication device;
utilizing, via said second communication device, said audio signals collected from said first communication device to identify a location of a threat in relation to the geographic origin of said distress signal; and
attributing a threat level associated with any of an audio level, a frequency, and a duration of the transmitted audio signal via said provider side communication system, wherein the attributing of said threat level comprises dynamically representing a seriousness of a threat on a map.

Abstract
A method and system for assessing a threat level associated with a distress signal. The method may include linking a first communication device on a client side communication system with a second communication device on a provider side communication system over a communications network. The method may include transmitting a distress signal from the first communication device to the second communication device, and mapping, via the provider side communication system, a geographic origin of the distress signal. The method may also include transmitting an audio signal in a one-way communication link from the first communication device to the second communication device, and attributing a threat level associated with any of an audio level, a frequency, and a duration of the transmitted audio signal via the provider side communication system.

5. A non-transitory program storage device readable by computer, and comprising a program of instructions executable by said computer to perform a method of assessing a threat level associated with a distress signal, said method comprising:
-
linking a client side communication system with a provider side communication system over a communications network, wherein said client side communication system comprises a first communication device, and wherein said provider side communication system comprises a second communication device; linking said first communication device with said second communication device over said communications network; transmitting a distress signal from said first communication device to said second communication device; mapping, via said provider side communication system, a geographic origin of said distress signal; transmitting an audio signal in a one-way communication link from said first communication device to said second communication device; utilizing, via said second communication device, said audio signal collected from said first communication device to identify a location of a threat in relation to the geographic origin of said distress signal; assessing, via said provider side communication system, a severity level of said distress signal; and attributing a threat level associated with any of an audio level, a frequency, and a duration of the transmitted audio signal via said provider side communication system, wherein the attributing of said threat level comprises dynamically representing a seriousness of a threat on a map. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)

8. A system for assessing a threat level associated with a distress signal, said system comprising:
-
a client side communication system communicatively linked with a provider side communication system over a communications network, wherein said client side communication system comprises a first communication device, wherein said provider side communication system comprises a second communication device, and wherein said first communication device is communicatively linked with said second communication device over said communications network; a transceiver operatively connected to said first communication device and configured to transmit a distress signal from said first communication device to said second communication device; a processor operatively connected to said provider side communication system, and configured to conduct a threat assessment associated with said distress signal; a mapping module operatively connected to said provider side communication system, and configured to map a geographic origin of said distress signal; a display device operatively connected to said processor and configured to graphically represent a seriousness of a threat based on said threat assessment; and a microphone operatively connected to said first communication device, and configured to transmit an audio signal in a one-way communication link from said first communication device to said second communication device, wherein said processor is configured to attribute a threat level associated with any of an audio level, a frequency, and duration of the transmitted audio signal, wherein said processor is configured to assess a severity level of said distress signal, wherein said second communication device is configured to utilize said audio signal received from said first communication device to identify a location of a threat and to dynamically represent a seriousness of a threat on a map. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
