Abstract

Presented are a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium for aiding emergency response. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a plurality of data corresponding to a geographic location from a plurality of data sources. The method further includes aggregating, by the processor, the plurality of data. The method still further includes determining, by the processor, a first profile and a second profile based on the aggregated plurality of data. The method can conclude with transmitting, by the processor, the first profile to a plurality of user equipments and the second profile to at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment is different from the plurality of user equipments.

Claims

1. A method of aiding emergency response, the method comprising:

(a) receiving, by a processor, an indication of an emergency situation;

(b) receiving, by the processor, a plurality of data corresponding to a geographic location of the emergency situation from a plurality of data sources;

(c) aggregating, by the processor, the plurality of data;

(d) determining, by the processor, a first profile and a second profile based on the aggregated plurality of data relevant to the emergency situation; and

(e) transmitting, by the processor, the first profile to a plurality of user equipments and the second profile to at least one user equipment different from the plurality of user equipments, wherein the second profile comprises a virtual geographic perimeter encompassing the geographic location of the emergency situation, and wherein the virtual geographic perimeter is operable to indicate when one of the plurality of user equipments crosses into the virtual geographic perimeter.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of data comprises emergency information, location information, and incident description information.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of data comprises historic public and private information comprising historic traffic patterns, public records, historic site information, historic consumption patterns, private records, maps and demographics.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of data comprises medical records of a third party.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality data comprises real-time information, and wherein the real-time information further comprises medical record release information.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first profile comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, user specific information, and location information corresponding to the geographic location.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second profile comprises availability information, ability information, and location information of each user of the plurality of user equipments and wherein the second profile further comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, and geographic proximity information for an incident and the plurality of user equipments corresponding to the geographic location.

8. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program instructions, wherein the at least one memory with the computer program instructions is configured with the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to at least;

receive an indication of an emergency situation;

receive a plurality of data corresponding to a geographic location of the emergency situation from a plurality of data sources;

aggregating the plurality of data;

determining a first profile and a second profile based on the aggregated plurality of data relevant to the emergency situation; and

transmitting the first profile to a plurality of user equipments and the second profile to at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment is different from the plurality of user equipments, wherein the second profile comprises a virtual geographic perimeter encompassing the geographic location of the emergency situation, and wherein the virtual geographic perimeter is operable to indicate when one of the plurality of user equipments crosses into the virtual geographic perimeter.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the plurality of data comprises emergency information, location information, and incident description information.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the plurality of data comprises historic public and private information comprising historic traffic patterns, public records, historic site information, historic consumption patterns, private records, maps and demographics.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the plurality of data comprises medical records of a third party.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the plurality of data comprises real-time information, and wherein the real-time information further comprises medical record release information.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the first profile comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, user specific information, and location information corresponding to the geographic location.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the second profile comprises availability information, ability information, and location information of each user of the plurality of user equipments and wherein the second profile further comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, and geographic proximity information for an incident and the plurality of user equipments corresponding to the geographic location.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium tangibly comprising computer program instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to at least:

receive an indication of an emergency situation;

receive a data plurality of data corresponding to a geographic location of the emergency situation from a plurality of data sources;

aggregate the plurality of data;

determine a first profile and a second profile based on the aggregated plurality of data relevant to the emergency situation; and

transmit the first profile to a plurality of user equipments and the second profile to at least one user equipment, wherein the at least one user equipment is different from the plurality of user equipments, wherein the second profile comprises a virtual geographic perimeter encompassing the geographic location of the emergency situation, and wherein the virtual geographic perimeter is operable to indicate when one of the plurality of user equipments crosses into the virtual geographic perimeter.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the plurality of data comprises emergency information, location information, and incident description information.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the plurality of data comprises historic public and private information comprising historic traffic patterns, public records, historic site information, historic consumption patterns, private records, maps and demographics.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the plurality of data comprises medical records of a third party.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the plurality of data comprises real-time information, and wherein the real-time information further comprises medical record release information.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the first profile comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, user specific information and location information corresponding to the geographic location.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 15, wherein the second profile comprises availability information, ability information, and location information of each user of the plurality of user equipments and wherein the second profile further comprises traffic navigation information, medical information, predictive information, and geographic proximity information for an incident and the plurality of user equipments corresponding to the geographic location.
