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 (37)

1. A system for communicating emergency messages to a user's mobile device having a personal emergency message transceiver and operating within a wireless network, the system comprising:

an emergency message application configured on the mobile device and communicatively connected with the personal emergency message transceiver of the mobile device;

wherein the emergency message application is enabled to receive a plurality of emergency messages from the personal emergency message transceiver;

wherein the emergency message application comprises one or more predetermined preferences of the user comprising instructions to provide the plurality of emergency messages to the user if a geographical area associated with the plurality of emergency messages is within a preferred geographical area;

wherein the emergency message application provides the plurality of emergency messages to the user based on a geographic parameter corresponding to a current location of the mobile device within the wireless network; and

wherein the emergency message application is enabled to cause the mobile device to display a notification to the user, the notification comprising the plurality of emergency messages.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device comprises a global positioning system (GPS) communicatively connected to the emergency message application.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the GPS is configured to provide a plurality of location data regarding the current location of the mobile device to the emergency message application.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of location data are associated with the geographic parameter corresponding to the current location of the mobile device within the wireless network.

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 emergency message application communicates with an emergency message system control center via an Internet connection provided by the wireless router.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the emergency message system control center provides the plurality of emergency messages to the personal emergency message transceiver.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the emergency message application is configured to communicate with a social media application.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the emergency message application receives the geographic parameter corresponding to the current location of the mobile device from the social media application.

10. A mobile wireless communication device operating within a wireless network comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive one or more emergency messages generated by an emergency message system control center;

a memory;

an emergency message application operatively connected to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the emergency message application is configured to receive the one or more emergency messages from the transceiver;

wherein the emergency message application comprises one or more predetermined preferences of a user comprising instructions to provide the one or more emergency messages to the user if a geographical area associated with the one or more emergency messages is within a preferred geographical area;

wherein the emergency message application provides the one or more emergency messages to the user based on a geographic parameter corresponding to a current location of the mobile wireless communication device within the wireless network; and

wherein the emergency message application is configured to cause the mobile wireless communications device to display a notification to the user, the notification comprising the one or more emergency messages.

11. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 10 , further comprising a global positioning system (GPS) communicatively connected with the emergency message application.

12. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 11 , wherein the GPS is configured to provide a plurality of location data regarding the current location of the mobile wireless communication device to the emergency message application.

13. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of location data are associated with the geographic parameter corresponding to the current location of the mobile wireless communication device.

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

15. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 14 , wherein the emergency message application communicates with the emergency message system control center via an Internet connection provided by the wireless router.

16. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 10 , wherein the emergency message control center provides the one or more emergency messages to the transceiver.

17. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 10 , wherein the emergency message application is configured to communicate with a social media application.

18. The mobile wireless communication device of claim 17 , wherein the emergency message application receives the geographic parameter corresponding to the current location of the mobile wireless communication device from the social media application.

19. A wireless communication device operating within a wireless network comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive one or more emergency messages associated with a geographic parameter corresponding to a current location of the wireless communication device within the wireless network;

a memory; and

an emergency message application operatively connected to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the emergency message application is enabled to receive the one or more emergency messages from the transceiver;

wherein the emergency message application comprises one or more preselected preferences of a user comprising instructions to provide the one or more of emergency messages to the user if a geographical area associated with the one or more of emergency messages is within a preferred geographical area;

wherein the emergency message application provides the one or more of emergency messages to the user based on the geographic parameter corresponding to the current location of the wireless communication device within the wireless network; and

wherein the emergency message application is configured to display a notification comprising the one or more emergency messages to the user of the wireless communication device based on the one or more preselected user preferences.

20. The wireless communication device of claim 19 , further comprising a global positioning system (GPS), the GPS configured to provide a plurality of location data to the emergency message application and wherein the one or more emergency messages are generated based on the plurality of location data.
