Emergency Communication Recognition via Trusted Network Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing emergency communication methods via third-party services lack confidentiality, security, and privacy, particularly for mobile device users contacting emergency services through voice or non-voice means.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a system where mobile device operator-based networks and services provide secure and private communication by configuring internet protocol-enabled devices to determine emergency communications and establish connections through trusted networks, ensuring confidentiality and security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If third-party communication services are used for emergency communications, then communication versatility is improved, but security and confidentiality are worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a communication service determination module as an intermediary that evaluates whether to use third-party services or operator services for emergency communications. This intermediary assesses the communication content, determines if it indicates an emergency, and selects the appropriate service path, thereby maintaining security while preserving versatility.
2Reliability
If operator-based networks are used for emergency communications, then security and confidentiality are improved, but communication versatility is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic service selection mechanism that adapts the communication path based on real-time conditions. The system dynamically determines whether to route communications through third-party services or operator services based on whether an emergency is detected, allowing the communication pathway to flex between different service types.
3Loss of time
If automatic emergency detection is implemented, then response time is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the communication system to automatically detect and determine whether a communication indicates an emergency without requiring manual user input. The communication service determination module autonomously analyzes the communication content and makes routing decisions, eliminating the need for users to manually classify emergencies.

AI summary
Emergency communication initiated from an internet protocol enabled device may be recognized and established. An address representative of a designated recipient with which communication is to be established may be provided to a first communication service operating on the internet protocol enabled device, such as a wireless mobile device. The communication may be a non-voice communication or a voice communication. The communication may be determined to be indicative of an emergency. The communication may be established with a recipient associated with the designated recipient address via a second communication service operating on the internet protocol enabled device and a predetermined network upon the communication being indicative of an emergency. The predetermined network may provide the communication between the internet protocol enabled device and the recipient securely.
