Patent attributes
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for validating and supplementing emergency call information. A Public Safety Answering Point receives an emergency (e.g., 911) call from a mobile device. Parts of the emergency call are processed to identify an emergency call location. Characteristics of the emergency call are combined with characteristics of other signals to identify and emergency call event, including the emergency call location. The emergency call event is sent to the Public Safety Answering Point. Prior to receiving phase II data and possibly even prior to receiving phase I data, the Public Safety Answering Point receives the event. The Public Safety Answering Point tailors dispatch of emergency resources responding to the emergency call based on characteristics of the event, including the originating location.
