WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT GEOFENCING ENHANCEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240357336 titled 'WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERT GEOFENCING ENHANCEMENTS
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a system where a base station sends emergency alerts to user equipment based on geofenced areas and the location of the equipment.
- The base station checks if its coverage area is completely within the geofenced area before sending an alert.
- It sends action messages to the user equipment to determine location, service time limits, and actions to take in case of lack of service or location.
- The system aims to efficiently alert users in emergency situations based on their location.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Geofencing technology used to trigger emergency alerts.
- Base station communication with user equipment for location-based alerts.
- Automated actions and time limits set for user equipment in case of service or location issues.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be used in:
- Emergency response systems
- Public safety notifications
- Location-based services
Problems Solved:
- Efficiently alerting users in emergency situations based on their location.
- Ensuring user equipment takes appropriate actions in case of service or location issues.
Benefits:
- Improved emergency response times.
- Enhanced user safety through targeted alerts.
- Optimal use of geofencing technology for emergency notifications.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Location-Based Emergency Alert System for Enhanced Safety
This technology can be applied in:
- Mobile network operators
- Emergency response agencies
- Location-based service providers
Prior Art:
Readers can explore prior patents related to geofencing technology, emergency alerts, and location-based services to understand the background of this innovation.
Frequently Updated Research:
Stay updated on advancements in geofencing technology, emergency communication systems, and location-based services to enhance the effectiveness of this technology.
Questions about Location-Based Emergency Alert System for Enhanced Safety:
1. How does the system ensure accurate location-based alerts are sent to user equipment? 2. What measures are in place to address potential service or location issues with user equipment?
Original Abstract Submitted
a base station receives an alert indicating a geofenced area, and determines whether its coverage area is completely within the area. if so, the base station generates/sends a wireless emergency alert (wea) to user equipment in the coverage area that does not indicate the area. otherwise, the base station generates/sends a wea that indicates the area. the base station sends action messages that indicate a periodicity and end time for the user equipment to determine whether its location is within the geofenced area, a lack of service time limit and lack of service action for the user equipment to perform after it has been without cellular service for the lack of service time limit, a lack of location time limit and lack of location action for the user equipment to perform if its location cannot be determined for the lack of location time limit, and/or that the wea has ended.
