Dynamic Caller Info Selection via Content Node for Emergency Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile communication systems lack a mechanism to dynamically select and transmit higher fidelity location and emergency information during communications events, such as 911 calls, based on user-defined preferences and recipient credentials, limiting the accuracy of location descriptions provided to emergency services.
Innovation Solution
A content collection node facilitates the dynamic selection and transmission of customized subscriber information to communications recipient devices, using subscriber profiles that include preferences and credentials, allowing for the transmission of specific information to emergency services during emergency events, such as 911 calls, based on variables like time of day and location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional signaling methods are used to transmit caller information, then the system maintains simplicity in information transmission, but the location description fidelity and emergency information accuracy remain low
Solution Approach 1:
A content collection node is introduced as an intermediary between the calling device and recipient device. This node collects additional information (location, health data, device status) from multiple sources and attaches it to the signaling message, thereby improving information accuracy without requiring the calling device itself to become more complex
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-collects and stores subscriber information (location profiles, health information, device capabilities) in a database before communications events occur. During an emergency call, this pre-prepared information is quickly retrieved and attached to the signaling message, achieving high fidelity location description without real-time complexity
2Loss of information
If all subscriber information is transmitted with every communications event, then complete information availability is achieved, but information privacy and user control are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Different levels of information are provided to different recipient devices based on their credentials and the nature of the communications event. Emergency services receive high-fidelity location and health information, while regular contacts receive standard caller information. This selective information distribution maintains privacy while ensuring completeness where needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically determines which subscriber information to transmit based on real-time variables including recipient device credentials, type of communications event, time of day, and location. Subscriber preferences are evaluated dynamically to control information sharing, balancing completeness with privacy protection
3Reliability
If higher fidelity location information is collected and transmitted, then emergency response accuracy is improved, but the complexity of information collection and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The information collection system is segmented into independent modules: location information collection, health information collection, device status monitoring, and information synthesis. Each module operates independently and feeds into the content collection node, which assembles the complete information set. This modular approach improves emergency response accuracy while managing system complexity through division of labor

AI summary
Dynamically selecting and facilitating stored caller information to a communications recipient device with a communications event, based on communication recipient credentials (e.g. IP address, MDN, etc.), preferences outlined in a subscriber profile associated with a relevant calling device, and other variables, e.g., time of day, location of calling device, etc. A subscriber is permitted to provision subscriber preferences and subscriber information associated with users of a subscribing communications device in to a subscriber profile, for use during a communications event. Subscriber preferences are defined to place restrictive conditions on stored subscriber information that may be transmitted with a communications event initiated by a corresponding communications device. A content collection node dynamically selects customized caller information via a subscriber information content collection process. Customized caller information is transmitted to appropriate recipient devices with a corresponding communication event.
