Abstract
A method for receiving an emergency communication includes receiving a first portion of a first communication. The method also includes receiving a second portion of a second communication. The second communication may be a duplicate of the first communication. The method includes reconstructing the first communication using the first portion and the second portion.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- sending a set of communications from a first device to one or more network devices, wherein the set of communications is not initiated by a user, and the first device is a mobile device;
- receiving one or more indications at the first device in response to sending the set of communications, wherein the one or more indications correspond to one or more communications of the set of communications and indicate successful reception of the one or more communications by the one or more network devices;
- storing information at the first device based on the one or more indications, wherein the information identifies one or more of:
- information corresponding to a successful communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, one or more devices that received the communication, and an acknowledgment was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- information corresponding to a false negative communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, the one or more devices that received the communication, and no acknowledgement was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- and
- information corresponding to a failed communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication and the one or more devices did not receive the communication;
- providing the information to a second device;
- and
- providing the stored information to a user to indicate locations at which one or more of successful communications, false negative communications, and failed communications have occurred.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a third device, one or more communications from a first device, wherein the first device is a mobile device;
- storing, at the third device, first information based on the one or more communications from the first device, wherein the first information corresponds to one or more locations from which the one or more communication were sent from the first device, wherein the one or more locations are used to map locations at which the mobile device is able to communicate, and wherein the first information identifies one or more of:
- information corresponding to a successful communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, one or more devices that received the communication, and an acknowledgment was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- information corresponding to a false negative communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, the one or more devices that received the communication, and no acknowledgement was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- and
- information corresponding to a failed communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication and the one or more devices did not receive the communication;
- and
- providing the first information to a second device, wherein the second device is a mobile device.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a third device, one or more communications from a first device, wherein the first device is a mobile device;
- storing, at the third device, first information based on the one or more communications from the first device, wherein the first information corresponds to one or more locations from which the one or more communication were sent from the first device, wherein the first information indicates successful communication locations;
- receiving a communication history from the first device;
- comparing the communication history from the first device with the one or more communications received from the first device;
- and
- storing information based on comparing the communication history from the first device with the one or more communications received from the first device, wherein the information identifies one or more of:
- information corresponding to a successful communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, one or more devices that received the communication, and an acknowledgment was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- information corresponding to a false negative communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, the one or more devices that received the communication, and no acknowledgement was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- information corresponding to a failed communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication and the one or more devices did not receive the communication;
- and
- providing the stored information to a user to indicate locations at which at one or more of successful communications, false negative communications, and failed communications have occurred.
8 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a third device, one or more communications from a first device, wherein the first device is a mobile device;
- storing, at the third device, first information based on the one or more communications from the first device, wherein the first information corresponds to one or more locations from which the one or more communication were sent from the first device, and the first information indicates successful communication locations, and wherein the first information identifies one or more of:
- information corresponding to a successful communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, one or more devices that received the communication, and an acknowledgment was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- information corresponding to a false negative communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication, the one or more devices that received the communication, and no acknowledgement was received indicating that the one or more devices received the communication;
- and
- information corresponding to a failed communication comprising at least one location from which the first device sent a communication and the one or more devices did not receive the communication;
- and
- determining whether an expected communication is missing from the one or more communications received from the first device.
