Abstract
A disclosed method may include (i) detecting, from a first sensor at a first user equipment, a vertical height of the first user equipment, (ii) detecting, from the first user equipment, a request for emergency services directed to an emergency response service, (iii) detecting an indication that a second user equipment is located within a network vicinity of the first user equipment, and (iv) improving an accuracy of detecting the vertical height of the first user equipment by adjusting the detected vertical height of the first user equipment based on a detected vertical height from a second sensor at the second user equipment. Related systems and computer-readable mediums are further disclosed.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- detecting, from a first sensor at a first user equipment, a vertical height of the first user equipment;
- detecting, from the first user equipment, a request for emergency services directed to an emergency response service;
- detecting an indication that a second user equipment is located within a network vicinity of the first user equipment;
- and
- improving an accuracy of detecting the vertical height of the first user equipment by adjusting the detected vertical height of the first user equipment based on a detected vertical height from a second sensor at the second user equipment;
- wherein:
- detecting the indication that the second user equipment is located within the network vicinity of the first user equipment comprises detecting that the first user equipment and the second user equipment are connected to a same Wi-Fi network access point.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause actions to be performed, the actions including:
- detecting, from a first sensor at a first user equipment, a vertical height of the first user equipment;
- detecting, from the first user equipment, a request for emergency services directed to an emergency response service;
- detecting an indication that a second user equipment is located within a network vicinity of the first user equipment;
- and
- improving an accuracy of detecting the vertical height of the first user equipment by adjusting the detected vertical height of the first user equipment based on a detected vertical height from a second sensor at the second user equipment:
- wherein:
- detecting the indication that the second user equipment is located within the network vicinity of the first user equipment comprises detecting that the first user equipment and the second user equipment are connected to a same Wi-Fi network access point.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions that, when executed by at least one physical processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method comprising:
- detecting, from a first sensor at a first user equipment, a vertical height of the first user equipment;
- detecting, from the first user equipment, a request for emergency services directed to an emergency response service;
- detecting an indication that a second user equipment is located within a network vicinity of the first user equipment;
- and
- improving an accuracy of detecting the vertical height of the first user equipment by adjusting the detected vertical height of the first user equipment based on a detected vertical height from a second sensor at the second user equipment;
- wherein:
- detecting the indication that the second user equipment is located within the network vicinity of the first user equipment comprises detecting that the first user equipment and the second user equipment are connected to a same Wi-Fi network access point.
