Method and system for providing emergency related services via a broadband gateway

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for providing emergency-related services via a broadband gateway are provided. In this regard, a broadband gateway may receive one or more emergency notification messages, generate one or more alert messages in response to the received emergency notification message(s), and communicate the alert message(s) to the electronic device(s). Accordingly, each of the one or more alert messages may be formatted for communication to a corresponding one or corresponding ones of the one or more electronic devices. The emergency notification message(s) may be generated by an emergency services provider in response to an emergency. The emergency services provider may send a notification message to the broadband gateway device upon determining that the broadband gateway device, a person associated with the broadband gateway device, and/or a location associated with the broadband gateway device meets particular criteria.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a broadband gateway in communication with a first electronic device and a second electronic device, wherein the broadband gateway is configured to provide content via a network access service provider to at least one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device, wherein the broadband gateway comprises: circuitry that receives an emergency notification message from the first electronic device, wherein the emergency notification message indicates that an emergency has been detected by the first electronic device; circuitry that generates a first emergency alert in response to the emergency notification message; circuitry that transmits the first emergency alert to the second electronic device; circuitry that generates a second emergency alert in response to the emergency notification message; circuitry that transmits the second emergency alert and structural information for a location of the emergency via an emergency services provider network to a device associated with an emergency service provider, the structural information comprising physical layout information of the location of the emergency for use by the emergency service provider to address the emergency; circuitry that determines, according to a physical area of the emergency and a location of an additional broadband gateway, to notify the additional broadband gateway about the emergency; circuitry that generates a third emergency alert in response to the determination and the emergency notification message; and circuitry that transmits the third emergency alert to the additional broadband gateway, wherein the broadband gateway is located in a first broadband gateway equipped location, wherein the additional broadband gateway is located in a second broadband gateway equipped location, and wherein the first broadband gateway equipped location is transmitted in conjunction with the third emergency alert to the additional broadband gateway.
