Techniques for Registering An Internet Protocol (IP) Endpoint For Emergency Services Calling

The method of claim 2, wherein the location data comprises global data positioning (GPS) coordinates, the method further comprising:

• converting the GPS coordinates to an address;
• verifying the address is valid;
• and
• storing the verified address as the location data of the telephony endpoint.

A computing system hosted by an emergency services provider server, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive a location registration request, via a telephony server responding to a non-emergency telecommunication session establishment request from a telephony endpoint, the request including telephony endpoint identification information and a mobile device telephone number;
• determine that location data for the telephony endpoint is not registered with the emergency services provider server;
• send a short message service (SMS) message to the mobile device telephone number, the SMS message including an executable registration link that when executed on a mobile device receiving the SMS message causes the mobile device to retrieve location data of the mobile device;
• receive the location data of the mobile device;
• register, for purposes of subsequent emergency calling, the location data of the mobile device as the location data for the telephony endpoint with the emergency services provider server;
• and
• authorize the telephony endpoint for the non-emergency telecommunication session only if the telephony endpoint has a location registered with the emergency services provider server.

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system hosted by an emergency services provider server, cause the computing system to:

• receive a location registration request, via a telephony server responding to a non-emergency telecommunication session establishment request from a telephony endpoint, the request including telephony endpoint identification information and a mobile device telephone number;
• determine that location data for the telephony endpoint is not registered with the emergency services provider server;
• send a short message service (SMS) message to the mobile device telephone number, the SMS message including an executable registration link that when executed on a mobile device receiving the SMS message causes the mobile device to retrieve location data of the mobile device;
• receive the location data of the mobile device;
• register, for purposes of subsequent emergency calling, the location data of the mobile device as the location data for the telephony endpoint with the emergency services provider server;
• and
• authorize the telephony endpoint for the non-emergency telecommunication session only if the telephony endpoint has a location registered with the emergency services provider server.
