Abstract

Systems, devices, and methods for emergency responses are provided. A client device can be provided with a response to an emergency via a networked system that can determine that the client device is located with a defined area of coverage, and can route a call session to a answering platform associated with answering station device that can facilitate a facilitate a safety service. Client devices located outside the coverage area can be directed to communicate via a call to 911.

Claims (35)

1. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions encoded thereon that, in response to execution, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by the computing device, a request from a mobile computing device to establish a connection with a destination device that facilitates a safety service within a pre-defined coverage area, the request further including login information associated with a previously-established user account on the computing device, and first information indicative of a location of the mobile computing device;

determining that the mobile computing device is within the pre-defined coverage area;

sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message including second information indicative of a communication address of a remote server device functionally coupled to the destination device;

receiving, by the computing device, a confirmation from the remote server device that a connection between the mobile computing device and the destination device has been established based on the communication address that was sent to the mobile computing device.

2. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a HTTPS request message, and wherein the response message includes a HTPPS response message.

3. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

4. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the communication address includes an Internet protocol (IP) address of the remote server device.

5. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to the mobile computing device to generate an audible signal instructing a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

6. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first information indicative of the first location of the mobile computing device includes global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the mobile computing device.

7. The computer-readable non-transitory storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 after a pre-determined time duration has elapsed.

8. A processor-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, by a processor of a computing device, a request from a mobile computing device to establish a connection with a destination device that facilitates a safety service within a pre-defined coverage area, the request further including login information associated with a previously-established user account on the computing device, and first information indicative of a location of the mobile computing device;

determining that the mobile computing device is within the pre-defined coverage area;

sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message including second information indicative of a communication address of a remote server device functionally coupled to the destination device;

receiving, by the computing device, a confirmation from the remote server device that a connection between the mobile computing device and the destination device has been established based on the communication address that was sent to the mobile computing device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the request includes a HTTPS request message, and wherein the response message includes a HTPPS response message.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the communication address includes an Internet protocol (IP) address of the remote server device.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to the mobile computing device to generate an audible signal instructing a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first information indicative of the first location of the mobile computing device includes global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the mobile computing device.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 after a pre-determined time duration has elapsed.

15. A system, comprising:

a computing device having a first processor; and

a remote server device having a second processor, wherein the first and second processors are configured to perform operations comprising:

a request from a mobile computing device to establish a connection with a destination device that facilitates a safety service within a pre-defined coverage area, the request further including login information associated with a previously-established user account on the computing device, and first information indicative of a location of the mobile computing device;

determining that the mobile computing device is within the pre-defined coverage area;

sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message including second information indicative of a communication address of a remote server device functionally coupled to the destination device;

receiving, by the computing device, a confirmation from the remote server device that a connection between the mobile computing device and the destination device has been established based on the communication address that was sent to the mobile computing device.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the request includes a HTTPS request message, and wherein the response message includes a HTPPS response message.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the communication address includes an Internet protocol (IP) address of the remote server device.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to the mobile computing device to generate an audible signal instructing a user to dial 911 when the mobile computing device is not within the pre-defined coverage area.

20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first information indicative of the first location of the mobile computing device includes global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of the mobile computing device.

21. The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the computing device to the mobile computing device, a response message with an instruction to a user to dial 911 after a pre-determined time duration has elapsed.
