Emergency location transmission system for user equipment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11924713B2) outlines a computer-implemented method and system for enabling timely emergency notification routing in a telecommunications network. The patent describes a process where, upon receiving an emergency notification, a user equipment transmits a request for its current location to a location engine. If the response with the current location is received within a specified time frame, the user equipment transmits this information to a telecommunications service network node. However, if the response is delayed, the user equipment determines the location using an alternative mechanism and sends the information only if available within a set time frame. The patent also details the use of specific location mechanisms and communication protocols for transmitting the emergency location information effectively.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the method's implementation, such as parsing destination addresses, the storage of the location engine, and the specific location mechanisms utilized. It also covers the system components required for executing the method, including hardware processors and non-transitory memory storing the necessary instructions. The system is designed to ensure that emergency location information is promptly and accurately relayed to the telecommunications service network node, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response systems. The patent emphasizes the importance of timely and reliable location data transmission in emergency situations, offering a structured approach to address potential delays or failures in obtaining the user equipment's current location.
