Method and system for automatically selecting and contacting an emergency contact person based on location

A computing system implemented process for automatically selecting and contacting an emergency contact person based on location comprising:

• using one or more processors to receive emergency contact list data from a party through a party computing system of the party, the emergency contact list data including data identifying at least two emergency contact persons and contact information associated with the at least two emergency contact persons;
• using one or more processors to store the emergency contact list data;
• the party activating an emergency contact feature through a user the party computing system;
• using one or more processors to determine a geo-location of the emergency that caused the party to activate the emergency contact feature;
• using one or more processors to determine a geo-location of individual ones of the at least two emergency contact persons from individual geo-location of individual respective emergency contact person computing systems associated with the at least two emergency contact persons;
• using one or more processors to analyze data indicating the geo-location of the emergency and data indicating the geo-location of the emergency contact persons to determine an emergency contact person of the at least two emergency contact persons that is closest to the geo-location of the emergency;
• using one or more processors and the contact information associated with the previously determined closest emergency contact person to automatically contact the previously determined closest emergency contact person;
• obtaining traffic/arrival time data indicating an estimated time between the geo-location of the emergency and the geo-location of the emergency contact persons;
• using one or more processors to analyze the data indicating the geo-location of the emergency, the data indicating the geo-location of the emergency contact persons, and the traffic/arrival time data to determine the emergency contact person of the at least two emergency contact persons that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency;
• and
• using one or more processors and the contact information associated with the emergency contact person that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency to contact the emergency contact person that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency.

A system for automatically selecting and contacting an emergency contact person based on location comprising:

• a party computing system, the party computing system being associated with a party and configured to provide geo-location data of the party computing system;
• two or more emergency contact person computing systems, individual ones of the emergency contact person computing systems each being of respective ones of the two or more emergency contact persons, the emergency contact person computing systems configured to provide geo-location data of the emergency contact person computing systems;
• and
• one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems, the one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems executing a process for automatically selecting and contacting an emergency contact person based on location, the process for automatically selecting and contacting an emergency contact person based on location comprising:
• receiving emergency contact list data from a party through the party computing system of the party, the emergency contact list data including data identifying the at least two emergency contact persons and contact information associated with the at least two emergency contact persons;
• storing the emergency contact list data;
• the party activating an emergency contact feature through the party computing system;
• determining a geo-location of the emergency that caused the party to activate the emergency contact feature;
• determining geo-locations of individual ones of the at least two emergency contact persons from individual geo-locations of the emergency contact person computing systems of individual ones of the at least two emergency contact persons;
• analyzing data indicating the geo-location of the emergency and data indicating the geo-location of the emergency contact persons to determine an emergency contact person of the at least two emergency contact persons that is closest to the geo-location of the emergency;
• contacting, using the contact information associated the previously determined closest emergency contact person, the emergency contact person that is closest to the geo-location of the emergency;
• obtaining traffic/arrival time data indicating an estimated time between the geo-location of the emergency and the geo-location of the emergency contact persons;
• using the one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems to analyze the data indicating the geo-location of the emergency, the data indicating the geo-location of the emergency contact persons, and the traffic/arrival time data to determine the emergency contact person of the at least two emergency contact persons that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency;
• and
• using the one or more processors associated with one or more computing systems and the contact information associated with the emergency contact person that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency to contact the emergency contact person that is estimated to be temporally closest to the geo-location of the emergency.
