Emergency communication service for mobile devices

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by an emergency server, a call comprising an emergency request from a user device, the call generated based on an input to the user device by a user and the call establishing a communication between the user device and the emergency server;

receiving, by the emergency server, content from the user device during the communication session, the content from an emergency application initiated on the user device;

storing, by the emergency server, the content in a memory;

determining, by the emergency server, an event severity based on the content and independent from information received from another user device;

automatically identifying, by the emergency server, that at least one of a change in the content and a change in a manner of capturing the content is required based on the severity level; and

automatically communicating, by the emergency server, the required change to the user device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the content comprises one or more of:

video, audio, images and location information from the user device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

retrieving a user record associated with the user device; and

identifying user attributes.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

modifying a content capture event based on the user attributes.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

pre-processing the content to identify whether a content discrepancy exists; and

when a content discrepancy exists, modifying subsequent content capture events to perform at least one of:

capturing a different type of content,

forwarding less frequent content updates to the emergency server, and

suspending a type of content capturing event for a predetermined period of time.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a plurality of different types of content from the user device over a predetermined period of time.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

modifying a content quality of the content captured by the user device; and

transmitting the content to the server after the content quality has been modified.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

a memory;

a receiver configured to:

receive a call comprising an emergency request from a user device, the call generated based on an input to the user device by a user and the call establishing a communication session between the user device and the emergency server; and

a processor configured to:

receive content from the user device during the communication session, the content from an emergency application initiated on the user device,

store the content in the memory,

determine an event severity based on the content and independent from information received from another user device,

automatically identify that at least one of a change in the content and a change in a manner of capturing the content is required based on the severity level, and

automatically communicate the required change to the user device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the content comprises one or more of:

video, audio, images and location information from the user device.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

retrieve a user record associated with the user device, and

identify user attributes.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

modify a content capture event based on the user attributes.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

pre-process the content to identify whether a content discrepancy exists, and

when a content discrepancy exists, modify subsequent content capture events to perform at least one of:

capture a different type of content,

forward less frequent content updates to the emergency server, and

suspend a type of content capturing event for a predetermined period of time.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is further configured to:

receive a plurality of different types of content from the user device over a predetermined period of time.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

modify a content quality of the content captured by the user device, and

wherein the apparatus further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit the content to the server after the content quality has been modified.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store one or more instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

receiving a call comprising an emergency request from a user device, the call generated based on an input to the user device by a user and the call establishing a communication session between the user device and the emergency server;

receiving content from the user device during the communication session, the content from an emergency application initiated on the user device;

storing the content in a memory;

determining an event severity based on the content and independent from information received from another user device;

automatically identifying that at least one of a change in the content and a change in a manner of capturing the content is required based on the severity level; and

automatically communicating the required change to the user device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the content comprises one or more of:

video, audio, images and location information from the user device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

retrieving a user record associated with the user device; and

identifying user attributes.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

modifying a content capture event based on the user attributes.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

pre-processing the content to identify whether a content discrepancy exists; and

when a content discrepancy exists, modifying subsequent content capture events to perform at least one of:

capturing a different type of content, forwarding less frequent content updates to the emergency server and suspending a type of content capturing event for a predetermined period of time.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions are further configured to cause the processor to perform:

receiving a plurality of different types of content from the user device over a predetermined period of time;

modifying a content quality of the content captured by the user device; and

transmitting the content to the server after the content quality has been modified.
