EMERGENCY SERVICES DISPATCH SYSTEM WITH USER-DEFINED RESOURCE RESTRICTIONS

摘要

A computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system that enables dispatch of emergency services resources based on user-defined resource restrictions. The CAD system includes a server system that enables users to create resource restrictions (e.g., a geographic restriction, a time restriction, and/or a qualification restriction) on the fly such that each created resource restriction is available in real time to the users, and then apply the created resource restrictions to the appropriate resources stored in a database. The server system also enables users to create transfer orders each of which defines required criteria for a transfer event, and then assign resources to the transfer event that are not associated with any resource restriction that conflicts with the required criteria defined in the transfer order.

1. A computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system that enables dispatch of emergency services resources based on user-defined resource restrictions, comprising:
a plurality of access devices; and a server system accessible by each of the access devices, wherein the server system presents a plurality of web pages that enable a plurality of users using the access devices to:
configure a plurality of emergency services resources for storage in a database;create a plurality of user-defined resource restrictions each of which comprises one of a geographic restriction, a time restriction, a qualification restriction, and combinations thereof, wherein each resource restriction is created on the fly such that the created resource restriction is available in real time to the users for association with any of the emergency services resources stored in the database;associate each of the resource restrictions with one or more of the emergency services resources stored in the database;create a plurality of transfer orders each of which defines one or more required criteria for a transfer event;assign to the transfer event of each transfer order one or more of the emergency services resources stored in the database which are not associated with a resource restriction that conflicts with the required criteria defined in the transfer order, whereby a dispatch notice is sent to at least one of the assigned emergency services resources.
