Caller location determination systems and methods

A computer-implemented method of facilitating determining a location of an individual in the context of the individual using a mobile computing device to place an emergency call, the method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more computer processors, a first indication that the individual has used a caller interface of the mobile device to select a first particular digit of an emergency number;
• at least partially in response to receiving the first indication, transmitting a first set of telemetry data to one or more remote computers for use in determining the individual's current location;
• after receiving the first indication, receiving, by one or more computer processors, a second indication that the individual has used a caller interface of the mobile device to select a second particular digit of the emergency number;
• at least partially in response to receiving the second indication, transmitting a second set of telemetry data to the one or more remote computers for use in determining the individual's current location, the second set of telemetry data being different than the first set of telemetry data;
• receiving a request, from the user, to initiate the emergency call;
• and
• at least partially in response to receiving the request:
• (A) facilitating a transmission of the individual's determined location to a particular data structure that a public-safety answering point, that will handle the emergency call, will access to determine a dispatchable location for the individual;
• and
• (B) initiating, by one or more computer processors, an emergency call, to the public-safety answering point, regarding an emergency involving the particular individual, wherein:
• the individual's determined location is based at least in part on location data selected from a group consisting of:
• (i) the first set of telemetry data and;
• (ii) the second set of telemetry data.

A computer-implemented method of facilitating determining the location of an individual in the context of an emergency, the method comprising:

• receiving, by one or more computer processors, an indication that the individual has suffered an emergency, but has not yet initiated an emergency electronic communication;
• at least partially in response to receiving the indication, automatically initiating monitoring, by one or more computer processors, of the individual's location;
• transmitting telemetry data, that has been obtained from monitoring the individual's location, to a data structure associated with a public-safety answering point to facilitate a determination of the individual's current location;
• and
• facilitating initiation, by one or more computer processors, of an emergency electronic communication, to the public-safety answering point, regarding an emergency involving the particular individual.
