Abstract
A computer device generates a response to an emergency being reported by a plurality of sensor devices. The memory contains a sensor data engine and a determinant code calculator. The computer device determines the likelihood of an emergency based on received sensor data and, in some embodiments, answers received from an information provider. The sensor data engine receives external sensor data, determines data values associated with the external sensor data, and calculates an emergency likelihood based on the data values. The determinant code calculator generates a determinant code based on the calculated likelihood, and provides the code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
Claims37
A system for assisting a dispatcher in responding to an emergency being reported by an information provider, the system comprising:
- a computing device comprising at least one processor and memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, via an interrogation protocol, answers from an information provider to pre-programmed inquiries of the interrogation protocol for a dispatcher to ask the information provider;
- receiving, via a sensor data engine, different types of external sensor data provided at a network interface from a plurality of external devices via a network;
- receiving, via a determinant code calculator, the external sensor data from the sensor data engine;
- generating, via the determinant code calculator, based on the received answers to the pre-programmed inquiries and the external sensor data, a determinant code indicating a priority of an emergency response;
- determining, via the determinate code calculator, an accuracy of the determinant code based at least on weighting the external sensor data such that evidence of a past event will weight in favor of an emergency incident;
- and
- providing, by the computing device, the determinant code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
A method to assist a dispatcher in responding to an emergency being reported by an information provider, comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device and from the information provider, answers to pre-programmed inquiries;
- receiving, at the computing device, different types of external sensor data from external devices through a network interface of the computer device;
- generating, by the computing device, a determinant code based on the received answers to the pre-programmed inquiries and the external sensor data, the determinant code indicating a priority of an emergency response;
- determining, at the computing device, an accuracy of the determinant code based at least on weighting the external sensor data such that evidence of a past event will weight in favor of an emergency incident;
- and
- providing, by the computing device, the determinant code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive, at a computing device and from the information provider, answers to pre-programmed inquiries;
- receive, at the computing device, different types of external sensor data from external devices through a network interface of the computer device;
- generate, by the computing device, a determinant code based on the received answers to the pre-programmed inquiries and the external sensor data, the determinant code indicating a priority of an emergency response;
- determine, at the computing device, an accuracy of the determinant code based at least on weighting the external sensor data such that evidence of a past event will weight in favor of an emergency incident;
- and
- provide, by the computing device, the determinant code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
