Emergency request prior insight delivery

A method comprising:

• determining a power level associated with a first endpoint;
• determining a media content recording mode for the first endpoint based on the power level, wherein determining the media content recording mode includes selecting from a first media content recording mode and a second media content recording mode, wherein the first media content recording mode records a first type of media content to at least one buffer associated with the first endpoint when the power level is determined to be greater than or equal to a first threshold, and wherein the second media content recording mode records a second type of media content to the at least one buffer when the power level is determined to be less than the first threshold, wherein the first type of media content comprises first and second types of content and the second type of media content comprises the first, but not the second, type of content;
• determining that the second, but not the first, type of media content is to be recorded based on the power level;
• and
• recording the second type of media content to the at least one buffer in accordance with the determined media content recording mode.

The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second types of media content each comprises one or more of audio content, video content, image content, health information data, and location content and wherein the first endpoint is at least one of:

• (i) a mobile device;
• (ii) a communications client residing on a device including a processor and memory;
• (iii) a Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) browser or application instance;
• (iv) a desktop phone;
• (v) a tablet;
• and (vi) a computer and wherein the second endpoint is a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the method further comprising verifying that a communication session has been established between the first endpoint and the PSAP before transmitting the second type of media content recorded to the at least one buffer.

A system for providing a prior-to-emergency communication request, the system comprising:

• a first endpoint operable to transmit and receive media, initiate two-way media exchanges with a second endpoint, and receive communication requests from, and establish two-way media exchanges with, the second endpoint;
• and
• at least one circular buffer located at the first endpoint, the at least one circular buffer recording media content in response to profile information and a detected power level of the first endpoint, wherein the first endpoint is operable to transmit to the second endpoint one of a determined first or second type of media content upon establishing a communication session between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, wherein the profile information configures the first endpoint to determine a media content recording mode for the first endpoint based on the power level, wherein determining the media content recording mode includes selecting from a first media content recording mode and a second media content recording mode, wherein the first media content recording mode records a first type of media content to at least one buffer associated with the first endpoint when the power level is determined to be greater than or equal to a first threshold, wherein the second media content recording mode records a second type of media content to the at least one buffer when the power level is determined to be less than the first threshold, and wherein the first type of media content comprises first and second types of content and the second type of media content comprises the first, but not the second, type of content.

A method comprising:

• determining a power level associated with a first endpoint;
• determining a media content recording mode for the first endpoint based on the power level, wherein determining the media content recording mode includes selecting from a first media content recording mode and a second media content recording mode, wherein the first media content recording mode records a first type of media content to at least one buffer associated with the first endpoint when the power level is determined to be greater than or equal to a first threshold, and wherein the second media content recording mode records a second type of media content to the at least one buffer when the power level is determined to be less than the first threshold, wherein the first type of media content comprises first and second types of content and the second type of media content comprises the first, but not the second, type of content;
• determining that the second, but not the first, type of media content is to be recorded based on the power level;
• and
• recording the second type of media content to the at least one buffer in accordance with the determined media content recording mode, wherein the first and second types of media content each comprises one or more of audio content, video content, image content, and location content.
