A method for presenting an updated status overview of persons staying in one or more specific geographical locations abroad

摘要

A method for presenting an updated status overview of persons staying in one or more specific geographical locations abroad is disclosed. Where it is desirable to send a message to the person or persons concerned, each person is associated with, and identified by, a Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN) number in a mobile network. The steps of the method are executed in a server which is connected to the mobile network. The server is in communication with one or more clients with a user interface, and a database comprising updated location information for MSISDN numbers associated with the persons staying in different locations abroad. The steps of the method comprise: (a) receiving a query from the client comprising information about a relevant geographical location or locations where a message transmission is desirable; (b) collecting relevant information from the database based on the queried location, where the information comprises relevant personal details for persons associated with MSISDN numbers who are currently located in the queried location, and sending this information to the client for presentation on the user interface; (c) receiving information from the client about the message to be sent to MSISDN numbers located in a relevant location or locations; (d) sending the message to persons associated with relevant MSISDN numbers; (e) receiving and processing any response messages from persons who receive the message, updating status information of the persons in the database based on the response messages, and categorizing such response messages into categories according to the type of response given and/or technical status/fault messages; (f) sending additional information as a result of an undesired event to persons who are still in the area in question to follow up these persons; and (g) sending the updated status information to the client for presentation of status of the persons.
