Abstract
Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for managing emergency communications providing data sharing amongst groups of devices, proxy calling by one communication device on behalf of another, and seamless data extraction from a communication device by first responders.
Claims20
A method for establishing an emergency proxy communication session by an emergency management system (EMS), the method comprising:
- a) detecting a request for assistance from a communication device, wherein the request comprises emergency data from a second device authorized to share emergency data with the communication device;
- b) determining an emergency dispatch center (EDC) serving a jurisdiction of the second device based on at least the emergency data from the second device;
- c) establishing a communication session between the communication device and the EDC, wherein:
- i) a first data channel is established between the communication device and the EMS;
- ii) a second data channel is established between the EMS and the EDC;
- and
- iii) the first and second data channels are bridged to establish the communication session;
- and
- d) providing a data set comprising the emergency data from the second device to the EDC.
