Abstract
A system and method for sending and receiving emergency announcements from a server to a client device are disclosed. The announcements can be sent based on the location of the client device and/or a designated time window. An announcement manager on the client device can display, store and manage the received announcements and activate additional applications based on the content of the emergency announcement.
Claims45
A wireless communication system for communicating emergency announcements comprising:
- a client device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- logic configured to receive an emergency announcement containing location data that defines a targeted geographic area operably coupled to the transceiver;
- and
- logic configured to display the emergency announcement on the client device, upon a determination that a geographic position of the client device is within the targeted geographic area.
A method for wirelessly communicating emergency announcements comprising:
- generating an emergency announcement containing location data;
- identifying a client device to receive the emergency announcement based on the location data in the emergency announcement and a location of the client device;
- transmitting the emergency announcement to the client device;
- receiving the emergency announcement at the client device;
- and
- displaying the emergency announcement on the client device upon a determination that the client device is within a targeted geographic area defined by the location data.
A wireless client device, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a user interface;
- and
- a carrier announcement manager (CAM) configured to receive an emergency announcement containing location data, configured to determine if the client device is within a targeted geographic area defined by the location data contained in the emergency announcement, and configured to activate a notification device on the user interface upon receipt of the emergency announcement, if the client device is within the targeted geographic area.
A computer-readable medium on which is stored a computer program for wirelessly communicating location-based emergency announcements, the computer program comprising instructions which, upon being executed by at least one computing device, causes the computing device to perform the process of:
- receiving an emergency announcement containing location data that defines a geographic area;
- determining a geographic position of the client device;
- determining if the client device is within the geographic area defined by the location data in the emergency announcement;
- and
- displaying the emergency announcement on the client device upon a determination that the geographic position of the client device is within the geographic area.
A server for wirelessly communicating emergency announcements comprising:
- means for generating an emergency announcement containing location data that defines a geographic area;
- means for identifying a client device to receive the emergency announcement based on the geographic area and a geographic location of the client device;
- and
- means for transmitting the emergency announcement to the client device.
A client device for wirelessly receiving emergency announcements comprising:
- means for receiving an emergency announcement containing location data that defines a geographic area;
- and
- means for displaying the emergency announcement on the client device upon a determination that a geographic position of the client device is within the geographic area.
