Abstract
Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to encode an emergency contact list for transmission to an emergency center is disclosed. The UE can initiate an emergency call with the emergency center. The UE can identify the emergency contact list stored at the UE. The UE can encode a message that includes the emergency contact list for transmission to the emergency center via a network device to enable an operator at the emergency center to identify an emergency contact on the emergency contact list.
Claims20
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable to encode an emergency contact list for transmission to an emergency center, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- initiate an emergency call at the UE with the emergency center;
- identify, at the UE, the emergency contact list stored at the UE;
- and
- encode, at the UE, an INVITE emergency message for transmission to the emergency center via a network device, wherein the INVITE emergency message indicates that the UE is capable of sending the emergency contact list to the network device;
- and
- encode, at the UE, a message that includes the emergency contact list for transmission to the emergency center via a network device to enable an operator at the emergency center to identify an emergency contact on the emergency contact list;
- and
- a memory interface configured to retrieve from a memory the emergency contact list.
An apparatus of a network device operable to decode an emergency contact list received from a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- decode, at the network device, an INVITE emergency message received from the UE, wherein the INVITE emergency message indicates that the UE is capable of sending the emergency contact list to the network device;
- decode, at the network device, a message received from the UE that includes the emergency contact list associated with an emergency call;
- and
- forward the emergency contact list to an emergency center;
- and
- initiate, at the network device, a communication with a second UE associated with a person on the emergency contact list;
- and
- a memory interface configured to send to a memory the emergency contact list.
At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for encoding an emergency contact list for transmission from a user equipment (UE) to an emergency center, the instructions when executed by one or more processors perform the following:
- initiating an emergency call at the UE with the emergency center;
- identifying, at the UE, the emergency contact list stored at the UE;
- and
- encoding an INVITE emergency message for transmission to the emergency center via the network device, wherein the INVITE emergency message indicates that the UE is capable of sending the emergency contact list to the network device;
- and
- encoding, at the UE, a message that includes the emergency contact list for transmission to the emergency center via a network device to enable an operator at the emergency center to identify an emergency contact on the emergency contact list and initiate a communication with a second UE associated with a person on the emergency contact list.
