Abstract

A system and method for streaming real-time data from a user device to a dispatch unit terminal, where the method includes: identifying a connection between a user device and a call center; sending a link to the user device, wherein the link includes instructions to initiate streaming of real-time data from the user device, and further includes a unique identifier associated with the user device; and sending the real-time data to a dispatch unit terminal, where the unique identifier is used to match the real-time data with the dispatch terminal used in the first connection.

Claims (41)

1. A system for streaming real-time video data from a user mobile device to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) dispatch unit terminal, comprising:

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing computer instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

obtain a unique identifier of a user mobile device operated by a user to place a call to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) through a first communication connection;

send an electronic message containing a link associated with said unique identifier, to the user mobile device through a second communication connection which is different from said first communication connection;

receive real-time video data from said mobile device through a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) session established by said mobile device, wherein said received real-time video data is associated by said unique identifier with said call placed through said first communication connection; and

send the real-time video data for presentation by the ECC in association with the user mobile device based on said unique identifier;

wherein when said link is activated by said user of said user mobile device, streaming of real-time video data is initiated from the user mobile device through said WebRTC session via a web browser executed on the user mobile device, wherein said web browser allowing said user to stream said real-time video data without running a downloaded application on said user mobile device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said streaming of the real-time video data also includes at least one of: audio, images, chats, location data, and motion data.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the unique identifier is a phone number associated with the user mobile device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a Dispatch Unit Terminal (DUT) is selected by said ECC based on a scenario identified from said call.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said link is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein obtaining said unique identifier is conducted using an application programming interface (API) executed by said ECC.

7. A method for streaming real-time video data from a user mobile device to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) dispatch unit terminal, comprising:

at a processing unit:

obtaining a unique identifier of a user mobile device operated by a user to place a call to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) through a first communication connection;

sending an electronic message containing a link associated with said unique identifier, to said user mobile device through a second communication connection which is different from said first communication connection;

receiving streamed real-time video data from said user mobile device through a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) session established by said mobile device, wherein said received streamed real-time video data is associated by said unique identifier with said call placed through said first communication connection; and

sending the real-time video data for presentation by the ECC in association with the user mobile device based on said unique identifier;

wherein when said link is activated by said user of said user mobile device, streaming of real-time video data is initiated from the user mobile device through said WebRTC session via a web browser executed on the user mobile device, wherein said web browser allowing said user to stream said real-time video data without running a downloaded application on said user mobile device.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein said streaming of the real-time video data also includes at least one of: audio, images, chats, location data, and motion data.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the unique identifier is a phone number associated with the user mobile device.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein a Dispatch Unit Terminal (DUT) is selected by said ECC based on a scenario identified from said call.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein said link is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein obtaining said unique identifier is conducted using an application programming interface (API) executed by said ECC.

13. A method for streaming real-time video data from a user mobile device to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) dispatch unit terminal, comprising:

at a user mobile device:

initiating an emergency call by dialing to an Emergency Call Center (ECC) through a first communication connection, wherein a unique identifier of said user mobile device is obtained at said ECC;

receiving, through a second communication connection which is different from said first communication connection, an electronic message containing a link associated with said unique identifier;

upon identification of an activation of said link by a user of said user device, initiating streaming of real-time video data from the user mobile device through a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) session via a web browser executed on the user mobile device, wherein said web browser allowing said user to stream said real-time video data without running a downloaded application on said user mobile device; and

sending the real-time video data through said WebRTC session, wherein said real-time video data is associated by said unique identifier with said call placed through said first communication connection and wherein the real-time video data is sent for presentation by the ECC in association with the user mobile device based on said unique identifier.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said streaming of the real-time video data also includes at least one of: audio, images, chats, location data, and motion data.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the unique identifier is a phone number associated with the user mobile device.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein a Dispatch Unit Terminal (DUT) is determined by said call center based on a scenario identified from said call.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to perform the method of claim 13 .

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein said link is a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the unique identifier of said mobile device is included as a suffix of the URL, referencing a web address of the ECC connected to the user mobile device.

20. The method of claim 13 , wherein obtaining said unique identifier is conducted using an application programming interface (API) executed by said ECC.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein a detection of said emergency call is conducted by a server, by conducting a search through said API identifying said call among queued emergency calls.

22. The method of claim 21 , wherein said identifying by said server is achieved based on at least one of a phone number of said mobile device initiating the emergency call, and a unique parameter associated with the mobile device initiating said emergency call.

23. The method of claim 13 , wherein said link is generated following an identification of the user mobile device and at least one of said ECC and a Dispatch Unit Terminal (DUT).
