The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for initiating and handling an emergency IP request using an IP enabled device having GPS capability. The IP enabled device is monitored for one or more emergency criteria. If the emergency criteria are satisfied, global positioning data is obtained using the GPS capability and the emergency IP request is sent to an address server. The address server receives the emergency IP request, obtains local emergency services data based on the global positioning data, dials a call center station based on the local emergency services data and passes an emergency call from the IP enabled device to the call center station. This invention can be implemented as a computer program embedded in a computer readable medium wherein the steps are performed by one or more code segments.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system, including: a camera; a media projector; a directional microphone; a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations of: detecting a subscriber entering an intelligent area; receiving a communication for the subscriber from a communications network; determining whether the subscriber can accept the communication; and responsive to a determination that the subscriber can accept the communication: monitoring a position of the subscriber in the intelligent area; and discretely delivering the communication to the subscriber based on the position. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for identifying a fraudulent phone number is provided. The method includes receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number, and responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number. The method further includes tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.

A method for predicting fraudulent call activity is provided. The method includes receiving one or more datasets indicating call activity corresponding to a phone number, and analyzing the one or more datasets to identify unusual call activity. The method further includes generating a fraud prediction, based at least in part on the identified unusual call activity, that the phone number will be used for fraud.

A method for optimizing an abandoned call notification can be configured to address the misrouting of an emergency call which eventually gets abandoned by the caller, through managing the indication of an abandoned call between various network elements, e.g. Emergency Service Internet Protocol network (ESInet) elements. The abandoned call notification can appear in the correct Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) without any manual action involved in some embodiments. In addition, embodiments can also address calls which are routed in different jurisdictions due to failures in the original intended routing targets.

A method, system, and computer program product for dynamic short dial allocation in emergency systems can be configured for acquisitioning, by a PSAP element, data from a caller, smart device and/or sensor processing and storing the data. Further, identifying, by a decision framework located at the PSAP side an emergency incident by means of the data and extracting, by the decision framework an appropriate emergency pattern for the identified emergency incident. Furthermore, gathering geolocation information from the caller, smart device and/or sensor and retrieving emergency services or departments at the geolocation area of the caller, smart device and/or sensor. Subsequently, providing appropriate emergency services or departments which must be notified according to the emergency incident to the call taker and displaying appropriate short dials for the emergency services or departments which must be notified.

A call allocation system includes a server which extracts first concentration areas matched with an operating time of the commercial vehicle among a concentration areas, extracts a second concentration area corresponding to a grade of the commercial vehicle among first concentration areas, and transmits a first message requesting movement thereof to the second concentration area to vehicle terminal of commercial vehicle, wherein the server allocates the call of the customer terminal, in which a departure or a destination is located in the second concentration area, to the commercial vehicle when the commercial vehicle enters the second concentration area, the concentration area is an area in which an average value of a number of calls per unit time corresponding to the operating time is a first reference value or more than the first reference value among areas divided according to a predetermined reference, and the grade is a score of evaluating satisfaction of the commercial vehicle.

A method and a system for improving emergency response time for mobile callers can be configured to take advantage of knowledge regarding numerous devices and their states of services they offer. Embodiments of the method and system can be adapted to optimize the selection of one or more alternative destinations for a caller who may be moving while also avoiding unnecessary call re-routings.

Application developers can request to have their applications registered for use with a content delivery platform. The operator of the content delivery platform establishes perimeters defining geographic areas, and maintains records reserving particular areas for delivery of content associated with particular sponsors. Registered applications running on mobile devices can request content from the content delivery platform. Based at least in part on the request, the content delivery platform can identify a target location, which may be the location of the mobile device, or some other location indicated in the request. A mobile device can be provided content based on the relationship of the target location to the geographic areas, so that a registered application running on a mobile device with a target location contained within a geographic area assigned to a particular sponsor will receive content related to that sponsor.

A method including: receiving a user report dataset indicating fraudulent activity corresponding to a phone number; responsive to receiving the user report dataset, identifying a record in a database corresponding to the phone number; and tagging the record to identify the phone number as being associated with fraudulent activity.
