Abstract
A system, apparatus and method for alerting an emergency responder to an emergency, which includes a processor obtaining data from at least one sensor, determining, that the data indicates an emergency condition, based on the determining, obtaining location information and a unique identifier, and communicating the location information and the unique identifier to a node via a network connection.
Claims16
A method for alerting an emergency responder to an emergency, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, via a receiver, data from a trigger, wherein the trigger comprises a pre-defined number of a plurality of sensors;
- determining, by the processor, that the data indicates an emergency condition;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, location information;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, a unique identifier from a memory;
- communicating, by the processor, the location information and the unique identifier to a node on a computer network via a network connection;
- communicating the location information and the unique identifier to a second memory resource;
- obtaining, from the second memory resource, supplemental data based on the unique identifier;
- and
- communicating the supplemental data to a terminal in communication with the node.
A computer system for alerting an emergency responder to an emergency, the computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- a processor in communications with the memory;
- a receiver;
- a trigger in communication with the processor, wherein the trigger comprises a pre-defined number of a plurality of sensors;
- a location device in communication with the processor;
- and
- a transponder in communication with the processor, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the processor, data from the trigger;
- determining, by the processor, that the data indicates an emergency condition;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, location information from the location device;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, a unique identifier from the memory;
- communicating, by the processor, the location information and the unique identifier to a node via a network connection by using the transponder;
- communicating the location information and the unique identifier to a second memory resource;
- obtaining, from the second memory resource, supplemental data based on the unique identifier;
- and
- communicating the supplemental data to a terminal in communication with the node.
A computer program for alerting an emergency responder to an emergency, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, via a receiver, data from a trigger, wherein the trigger comprises a pre-defined number of a plurality of sensors;
- determining, by the processor, that the data indicates an emergency condition;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, location information;
- based on the determining, obtaining, by the processor, a unique identifier;
- communicating, by the processor, the location information and the unique identifier to a node via a network connection;
- communicating the location information and the unique identifier to a second memory resource;
- obtaining, from the second memory resource, supplemental data based on the unique identifier;
- and
- communicating the supplemental data to a terminal in communication with the node.
