Method and system for an emergency location information service (E-LIS) for water-based network devices

An emergency location information system (E-LIS) for water-based network devices, comprising in combination:

• one or more water-based network devices;
• one or more server network devices each with one or more processors;
• one or more emergency response servers each with one or more processors;
• the one or more processors including a plurality of instructions configuring the one or more processors:
• for receiving on a server application on a server network device with one or more processors one or more emergency messages or one or more emergency text messages via a wireless communications network with current location information from a water-based network device indicating an emergency event has occurred on a body of water,
• the water based network device comprising one or more processors, one or more sensors or one or more actuators, a wireless connection interface including a wireless low power wide-area ultra-narrowband network interface and a wireless low earth orbit satellite network connection interface,
• the water-based network device further comprising an automated network device capable of sensing is own environment and automatically sending out the one or more emergency messages or one or more emergency text messages without operator input, and
• the water-based network device further comprising a switch for allowing manual operator input for sending out the one or more emergency messages or one or more emergency text messages during an emergency event;
• for determining from the server application a current set of 3D (X, Y, Z) geo-space coordinates for the water-based network device with the current location information extracted from the received one or more emergency messages or the one or more emergency text messages;
• for determining from the server application with the determined current set of 3D (X, Y, Z) geo-space coordinates a current physical geographic location for the water-based network device;
• for determining from the server application a geographic distance from the determined current physical geographic location for the water-based network device to a nearest shoreline;
• for determining from the server application a desired emergency response server based on the determined geographic distance;
• for sending from the server application an emergency response message or a 911-to-text response message including the determined current physical geographic location for the water-based network device via a second communications network to the desired emergency response server;
• and
• for displaying in real-time on the server network device or another server network device with one or more processors on a graphical map the determined current physical geographic location for the water-based network device for one or more desired emergency response agencies.
