Abstract

A computer-implemented method for interactive information and identification is disclosed, which can be for emergency or non-emergency information. The method includes receiving, by a processor, a notification concerning an emergency (or non-emergency) situation, wherein the notification includes a location of the situation, and defining, by the processor, a geo-fence representing a first physical area surrounding the location of the situation. The method further includes receiving, by the processor, location information representing locations of a plurality of user devices, each user device being associated with an individual, and determining, by the processor, which of the user devices are located within the geo-fence based on the location information. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the processor, information about the situation to the user devices located within the geo-fence.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for interactive emergency information and identification, which method comprises:

receiving a first notification concerning an emergency situation, wherein the first notification includes a first location of the emergency situation;
defining a geo-fence with a first shape representing a physical area surrounding the first location of the emergency situation and impacted by the emergency situation, the geo-fence based on the first notification, receiving location information representing a location of a user device, the user device being associated with an individual;
receiving feedback from the user device including a safety status of the user;
correlating the received feedback with the received location information;
determining a position of the user device with respect to the geo-fence based on the location information;
receiving, subsequent to the first notification, a second notification concerning the emergency situation;
and
redefining the geo-fence with a second shape based on the second notification;
and
displaying a graphical map comprising the first location of the emergency situation, the geo-fence, and the safety status of the user correlated to a position of the user device relative to the first location of the emergency situation and the geo-fence.
