Abstract:
1. Circuitry for sending an emergency services call in a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network, the circuitry configured to perform the following method comprising: automatically detecting and saving in memory in an endpoint communications device network location information in response to moving an endpoint communications device from a first location to a second location, wherein the network location information comprises specific network device identity information and port identification of a network device, wherein the network device is in communication with the endpoint communications device via a port identified by the port identification, wherein a physical location of the endpoint communications device is to be mapped to both the network device identity and the port identification and is to be determined based at least in part on the network location information, the physical location comprising a specific civic location or geo-coordinates, or combinations thereof; generating an emergency services call initiation request wherein the call initiation request comprises an emergency parameter and the network location information, wherein the emergency parameter comprises a location object in presence information data format; automatically forwarding the network location information to a call server for physical location mapping to the network location, wherein routing the call is to be based at least in part on the network location information or the physical location, or combinations thereof.
