Patent ID: 8442482

Claim:
A method for locating a device during an emergency, comprising: receiving on a network server device with one or more processors a wireless emergency message from an application on a first mobile network device with one or more processors via a wireless communications network indicating an emergency event has occurred with the first mobile network device, wherein the wireless emergency message includes a unique identifier comprising a specialized E911-based unique identifier for the first mobile network device unique across all wireless and wired communications network the first mobile network device connects to and a current set of three dimensional (3D) (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates for the first mobile network device, and wherein the first mobile network device automatically and periodically determines and stores its own current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates and its own current geographical physical location and periodically and automatically sends its own current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates and its own current geographical physical location to the network server device; determining on the network server device with the E911-based unique identifier and the current set of 3D (X,Y,Z) geo-space coordinates from the emergency message, a current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device verifying the first mobile network device is actually located at the determined current physical geographic location by comparing the determined current physical geographic location to a previously stored physical geographic location for the first mobile network device; and sending from the network server device to a desired emergency response server with one or more processors the determined and verified current physical geographic location for the first mobile network device.
