Non-IP Emergency Messaging via Network Attachment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing emergency messaging solutions, particularly SMS-based systems, face delays in message delivery due to proprietary network features, which can be critical in emergency situations, and lack prioritization and location data integration.
Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing Non-IP Data Delivery functionality to establish communication channels between a communication device and a network management entity, enabling emergency notifications with prioritization and location data transmission over any communication network, ensuring timely and secure delivery to emergency call centers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If SMS-based emergency messaging is used, then emergency notifications can be sent, but message delivery is delayed due to proprietary network features
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the emergency messaging function from the proprietary SMS network infrastructure and relocates it to a public IP-based network. By using standard IP protocols instead of proprietary SMS features, the message delivery is no longer constrained by SMS network limitations and delays, achieving faster and more reliable delivery through conventional internet routing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical SMS messaging system with an electronic IP-based data transmission system. Instead of relying on SMS protocol mechanisms and proprietary network features, the solution uses standard IP packets and internet infrastructure, replacing the outdated mechanical messaging approach with a modern electronic communication paradigm that enables faster delivery.
2Adaptability or versatility
If existing SMS emergency solutions are implemented, then basic notification capability is provided, but prioritization and location data integration are lacking
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal IP-based messaging platform that can handle multiple types of emergency information simultaneously. The system is designed to carry not only basic emergency notifications but also location data, prioritization levels, and additional contextual information within the same IP packet structure, making the system versatile and adaptable to various emergency scenarios without requiring separate specialized systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite messaging structure that combines multiple types of emergency data (notification, location, prioritization) into a single integrated IP packet. This composite approach allows all critical information elements to be transmitted together in one message, ensuring no information is lost and the receiving system gets a complete emergency data package.

AI summary
The invention relates to methods of a communication device (110) and a a network management entity (150) for handling an emergency notification. The method of the communication device (110) comprises: generating (310) an attach request (210) to a network management entity (150) requesting an attachment to a communication channel implementing Non-IP Data Delivery functionality; receiving (320) a response (240) to the attach request (210); in response to a detection that the response (240) to the attach request (210) indicates an acceptance of the attachment generating (250) the emergency notification (260); and transmitting (360) the generated emergency notification (260) over the communication channel implementing Non-IP Data Delivery functionality. The invention also relates to a communication device, a network management entity (150), computer program products and a system.
