Abstract
A computer device generates a response to an emergency being reported by a plurality of sensor devices. The memory contains a sensor data engine and a determinant code calculator. The computer device determines the likelihood of an emergency based on received sensor data and, in some embodiments, answers received from an information provider. The sensor data engine receives external sensor data, determines data values associated with the external sensor data, and calculates an emergency likelihood based on the data values. The determinant code calculator generates a determinant code based on the calculated likelihood, and provides the code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
Claims20
A computer device to receive information relating to an emergency and dispatch an emergency response including emergency responders, comprising:
- a processor;
- a network interface in electrical communication with the processor and a network;
- and
- a memory in electrical communication with the processor, and having stored thereon:
- a sensor data engine to receive different types of external sensor data provided at the network interface from a plurality of external devices via the network, the plurality of external devices capturing different types of external sensor data related to a prospective emergency, and
- a determinant code calculator to:
- receive the external sensor data from the sensor data engine, and
- generate a determinant code from one of a plurality of pre-established determinant codes based on the different types of external sensor data, the determinant code indicating a priority of an emergency response, wherein the computer device provides the determinant code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
A method to generate an emergency response including emergency responders to an emergency based on external sensor data received from external devices, comprising:
- a computer device of a dispatch center receiving different types of external sensor data from a plurality of external devices through a network interface in communication with a network;
- the computer device generating a determinant code from one of a plurality of pre-established determinant codes based on the external sensor data, the determinant code indicating a priority of an emergency response;
- and
- providing the determinant code to an emergency responder system to generate an emergency dispatch response.
