Abstract

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for providing emergency messages to a mobile device. In an exemplary embodiment, a system for communicating emergency messages is provided comprising a mobile device comprising an emergency message application and a personal emergency message transceiver, an emergency message control center, wherein the emergency message application is enabled to receive a plurality of emergency messages generated by the emergency message control center.

Claims (29)

1. A system for communicating emergency messages, the system comprising:

a mobile device comprising an emergency message application and a personal emergency message transceiver,

an emergency message control center;

wherein the emergency message application is enabled to receive a plurality of emergency messages generated by the emergency message control center, and wherein the emergency message application is configured to provide a user with only certain types of the plurality of emergency messages based on predetermined preferences of the user, including a geographical area relating to the emergency messages desired to be received by the user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency message application can provide a plurality of location data regarding a current location of the mobile device to the emergency message system control center.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency message system control center can track the location of the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency message control center provides only the plurality of emergency messages relevant to a current location of the mobile device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the personal emergency message transceiver is enabled to communicate with a wireless router.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the mobile device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection provided by the wireless router.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the personal emergency message transceiver is enabled to communicate with a cellular base station.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the mobile device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection linked to a cellular communication network of the cellular base station.

9. A wireless communication device comprising:

a transceiver configured to send and receive one or more emergency messages via one or more devices in the network;

an emergency message application operatively connected to a memory;

wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a plurality of emergency messages generated by an emergency message control center; and

wherein the emergency message application is configured to provide the plurality of emergency messages to a user of the wireless communication device, wherein the emergency message application can be configured to provide only certain types of the plurality of emergency messages to the user based on a predetermined preference of the user, the including a geographical area relating to the emergency messages desired to be received by the user.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication device is enabled to communicate with a wireless router.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 10 , wherein the wireless communication device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection provided by the wireless router.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication device is enabled to communicate with a cellular base station.

13. The wireless communication device of claim 12 , wherein the wireless communication device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection linked to a cellular communication network of the cellular base station.

14. A wireless communication device comprising:

a transceiver configured to send and receive one or more emergency messages via one or more devices in a communication network;

an emergency message application operatively connected to a memory;

wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a plurality of emergency messages generated by an emergency message system control center; and

wherein the emergency message application is configured to provide one or more of the plurality of emergency messages to a user of the wireless communication device based on preselected user preferences, including a geographical area relating to the emergency messages desired to be received by the user.

15. The wireless communication device of claim 14 , wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication device is enabled to communicate with a wireless router.

16. The wireless communication device of claim 15 , wherein the wireless communication device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection provided by the wireless router.

17. The wireless communication device of claim 14 , wherein the transceiver of the wireless communication device is enabled to communicate with a cellular base station.

18. The wireless communication device of claim 17 , wherein the wireless communication device communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection linked to a cellular communication network of the cellular base station.
