1. Field of the Disclosure
This disclosure relates generally to emergency response communications.
2. Related Art
These and other features of this disclosure will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of the various aspects of the disclosure taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings that depict various embodiments of the disclosure:
FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an emergency responder reply system (ERRS) according to the disclosure.
FIG. 2 shows an illustrative subscriber (web) page.
It is noted that the drawings of the disclosure are not to scale. The drawings are intended to depict only typical aspects of the disclosure, and therefore should not be considered as limiting the scope of the disclosure.
The figures, diagrams and following description depict specific embodiments of the disclosure to teach those skilled in the art how to make and use the best mode of the disclosure. For the purpose of teaching inventive principles, some conventional aspects of the disclosure have been simplified or omitted. Those skilled in the art will appreciate variations from these embodiments that fall within the scope of the disclosure. Further, those skilled in the art will appreciate that features described below can be combined in various ways to form multiple variations of the disclosure. As a result, the disclosure is not limited to the specific embodiments described below, but only by the claims and their equivalents.
Referring to FIG. 1, an emergency responder reply system (ERRS) 100, which may be subscription, Internet-based, is illustrated which serves as an interface for responders 138 of an emergency service provider (subscriber) 120, and for responders of other subscriber, service providers 122, 124 which provide a need for service to, for example, off-site employees and/or volunteers. Subscribers 120, 124 and their responders 138 receive a dispatch 111, 112—either directly or indirectly—concerning a need for services. This initiating dispatch 111 may be transmitted to responders 138 using ERRS 100, as will be described herein, or through any now known or later developed dispatch system utilized by subscribers 120 or 122, e.g. pager systems, audible horns, e-mail, text messaging, etc. In reply to dispatch 111, 112, those responders 138 of a dispatched subscriber 120 who will be responding to the dispatch telephone a pre-determined telephone number assigned to subscriber 120 by ERRS administrator (ERRS Admin.) 132. The names of responders 138, together with pertinent information about such responders, then automatically appear, e.g., within seconds, on a subscriber page 140 which may be a sub-site of an ERRS 100 web site and is unique to subscriber 120 with which responders 138 are affiliated. Related information may also automatically appear, e.g., within seconds, on a subscriber page 146 (FIG. 3) for a message originating entity 122 or third party subscriber 124.
