U.S. Patent No. 7,177,623 entitled ``Localized Cellular Awareness and 
Tracking of Emergencies,'' issued on February 13, 2007. The United 
States Government, as represented by the Secretary of the Army, has 
rights in this invention.

ADDRESSES: Office of Research and Technology Applications, SDMC-RDTC-
TDL (Ms. Susan D. McRae), Bldg. 5220, Von Braun Complex, Redstone 
Arsenal, AL 35898.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Joan Gilsdorf, Patent Attorney, e-
mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#deb4b1bfb0f0b9b7b2adbab1acb89eadb3babdf0bfacb3a7f0b3b7b2"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="33595c525d1d545a5f40575c415573405e57501d52415e4a1d5e5a5f">[email protected]</span></a> (256) 955-3213 or Ms. Susan D. McRae, 
Office of Research and Technology Applications, e-mail: 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#94e7e1e7f5fabaf9f7e6f5f1d4e7f9f0f7baf5e6f9edbaf9fdf8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f2818781939cdc9f91809397b2819f9691dc93809f8bdc9f9b9e">[email protected]</span></a>; (256) 955-1501.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The invention pertains to establishing a 
three-way call between a wireless 911 caller, an emergency 911 
dispatcher, and security/law enforcement personnel assigned to monitor 
a particular property. When a wireless 911 caller makes a 911 call from 
a specific property, the wireless network provides the caller's 
automatic location identification (ALI) information to a Localized 
Cellular Awareness and Tracking of Emergencies (LoCATE) System Unit 
(LSU) before the call is routed to the 911 dispatcher. The LSU uses the 
ALI information to determine the phone numbers of the surveillance 
property's assigned security/law enforcement personnel (e.g., a 
building security guard) and provides these phone numbers to the 
wireless network. The LSU requests the wireless network to establish a 
three-way call between the 911 caller, the 911 emergency dispatcher, 
and the surveillance property's assigned security/law enforcement 
personnel. Thus, the invention provides a real-time communication link 
with a specific property's assigned security/law enforcement personnel, 
who can provide the most immediate response to an emergency occurring 
at the property before the arrival of the traditional or official first 
responders who are dispatched by the 911 dispatcher. Possible 
surveillance applications include buildings, campuses, national 
monuments, crime zones, airports, sports arenas, parades, amusement 
parks, bridges, borders, highways, waterways, special events, etc.
