Abstract
A computer architecture and data handling paradigm useful in providing data records from subscribers in time critical response situations.
Claims22
A method of providing emergency response information comprising:
- receiving a request for emergency response data;
- retrieving emergency response data from initial storage;
- initiating one or more requests for third-party data;
- using an open protocol data structure;
- and
- presenting available emergency response data to a user.
3 more elements
A method of providing emergency response information using an open protocol data structure comprising:
- initiating a request for emergency response data at a PSAP;
- attempting to respond to said request at an initial data source;
- at said initial data source, forwarding said request to one or more upstream authoritative servers;
- retrieving a data record and initiating requests for external data;
- at an upstream authoritative server, formatting and merging external data for transfer to said local data source.
2 more elements
A method for representing and processing emergency response data in an emergency response server comprising:
- receiving a request for subscriber emergency response data:
- retrieving a record for said subscriber, said record including one or more references to third party data;
- attempting to resolve said one or more references by initiating requests for third-party data;
- and
- merging received third-party data with said record to compose a response to said request for subscriber emergency response data and presenting said merged response to a requester.
2 more elements
An emergency response data storage hub system comprising:
- an interface for communicating with one or more PSAP systems;
- an interface for communicating with one or more third-party data providers;
- an interface for communicating with an on-scene emergency response provider;
- an interface for communicating with one or more subscriber specified endpoints;
- a data resolution and merge process able to:
- read stored data records with embedded external data references;
- initiate requests for external data;
- and
- merge external data into a record for deliver to a PSAP.
