Abstract
Providing enhanced emergency services (E-911) to an IP Telephony-based PBX or similar system, by utilizing aspects of the intelligence of end-user SIP client devices to address challenges and difficulties associated with E-911-like services in LAN-based telephony environments.
Claims19
An apparatus for communicating over a packet based network, said apparatus comprising:
- logic to send a request for communication services in the packet based network, to receive a registration response from the packet based network that includes an emergency response location (ERL) record, said ERL record being associated with the ERL of the apparatus, and to transmit at least a portion of the ERL record as part of an emergency call setup process;
- and
- a processor to implement the logic.
An apparatus for communicating over a packet based network, said apparatus comprising:
- logic to receive a request from a device to register for communication services in the packet based network, to determine an emergency response location (ERL) of the device, and to transmit to the device a registration response that includes a corresponding ERL record, said ERL record including parameters enabling the device to initiate an emergency 911 call;
- and
- a processor to implement the logic.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is embedded a computer program, said computer program implementing a method of configuring an apparatus for initiating an emergency call in a packet based network, said computer program comprising a set of instructions to:
- responsive to sending a request from the apparatus to register for communication services in the packet based network, receive at the apparatus a registration response from the packet based network that includes an emergency response location (ERL) record, said ERL record being associated with the ERL of the apparatus;
- and
- transmit from the apparatus at least a portion of the ERL record as part of an emergency call setup process.
