Emergency response augmented reality-based notification
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for routing communications signals in response to an emergency, comprising:
- providing a processor for receiving an input signal comprising an initial notification transmitted by a bystander at a location and indicating that there is an emergency at said location;
independently of a central emergency medical services (EMS) notification system, said processor extracting content from said signal comprising identification of a specific location of said emergency and identification of said emergency type;
said processor using said extracted content to identify laypersons at or near said location who are trained responders for said emergency and who are most qualified to respond to said emergency based upon the type of said emergency;
said processor prioritizing said identified most qualified trained responders based upon their training and qualification; and
independently of said central notification system, said processor transmitting a prioritized alert directly to at least said identified most qualified trained responders comprising said emergency type and said emergency location;
said alert further comprising the display of a dynamic map identifying and displaying any of the location of any of work force personnel, trained responders, emergency equipment, exit doors, and visual dynamic directions to a nearest exit.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention leverage mobile proliferation to enable laypersons to initiate a timely and effective emergency response in case of an emergency, such as a medical emergency, e.g. cardiac event. Mobile apps are made available as part of an organization'"'"'s overall response plan and program, allowing bystanders of emergency events to easily initiate notifications, for example to trained responders, for example in their facility, in a timely manner commensurate with the type of emergency specific to their facility. More particularly, embodiments of the invention use mobile applications to provide augmented reality-based alerts and notifications, for example to certified first trainees to respond to the scene of the emergency.
