Abstract:

Systems and methods may be used for generating an alert on a mobile device for providing an emergency service. These systems and methods may include identifying from network traffic that a nearby mobile device has initiated an emergency communication. These systems and methods may include determining a location where an emergency situation exists based on location information corresponding to the emergency communication, and determining whether a user of the mobile device has a registered attribute corresponding to an emergency type identified from keywords or metadata of the emergency communication. The alert may be generated in response to determining that the user has the registered attribute.
