Abstract
A technique for enabling information associated with an emergency call originating in a private network to be routed to entities other than public service entities designated to handle the emergency call. The private network is monitored for emergency calls originating in the network. Information associated with the emergency calls is identified. The identified information is forwarded to an entity associated with the private network.
Claims33
In a communication network having a public network portion and a private network portion, a method for handling emergency calls comprising the steps of:
- monitoring the communication network for an emergency call originating from the private network;
- identifying information associated with the emergency call;
- and
- forwarding the identified information to an entity associated with the private network.
A server for handling emergency calls made in a communication network having a public portion and a private portion, the server comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor for:
- (a) monitoring the communication network for an emergency call originating from the private network,
- (b) identifying information associated with the emergency call, and
- (c) forwarding the identified information to an entity associated with the private network.
An apparatus for handling emergency calls made in a communication network having a public network portion and a private network portion, the apparatus comprising:
- means for monitoring the communication network for an emergency call originating from the private network;
- means for identifying information associated with the emergency call;
- and
- means for forwarding the identified information to an entity associated with the private network.
A computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for:
- monitoring a communication network, having a public network portion and a private network portion, for an emergency call originating from the private network;
- identifying information associated with the emergency call;
- and
- forwarding the identified information to an entity associated with the private network.
Electromagnetic signals propagating on a computer network, the electromagnetic signals carrying instructions for execution in a processor for:
- monitoring a communication network, having a public network portion and a private network portion, for an emergency call originating from the private network;
- identifying information associated with the emergency call;
- and
- forwarding the identified information to an entity associated with the private network.
