Emergency Number Integrated Information Assimilation Device

Abstract

An information transponding device in communication with an emergency number answering point, an ALI database and a remote storage device. The information transponding device receives ANI information from the emergency number answering point and accesses corresponding information in the ALI database and the remote storage device and assimilates the information into a readable format utilized at the emergency number answering point and transmits to the readable format to the emergency number answering point. The detailed information is updated and modified by authorized users via a secure Web portal on the World Wide Web. An automatic notification device automatically informs predetermined contacts that an emergency number was dialed from a particular line.

         9 . A notification system for communicating user generated information to an emergency number response center comprising:
 at least one remote storage database capable of storing detailed information about a particular phone line;   a secure Internet connection to said storage device;   a secure Web portal in communication with the World Wide Web and said secure Internet connection to allow an authorized user to modify and update said detailed information; and   an emergency data transponding device, wherein said emergency data transponding device is capable of automatically receiving ANI information from an emergency number answering point and ALI information from an ALI database; retrieving detailed information from said at least one remote storage database associated with said ANI information; modifying said ALI information to include said detailed information to form assimilated information; and transmitting said assimilated information to an emergency number answering point in a format employed at said emergency number answering point.   
     
     
         10 . The notification system of  claim 9  further comprising a tandem emergency data transponding device independently in communication with said remote storage database and said emergency number answering point. 
     
     
         11 . The notification system of  claim 9  further comprising an automatic notification device capable of generating and transmitting automatic notifications to a predetermined list of contacts upon receipt of ANI information from said emergency number answering point. 
     
     
         12 . The notification system of  claim 9  wherein said emergency data transponding device is connected to said emergency number answering point and said ALI database via a phone line. 
     
     
         13 . The notification system of  claim 9  wherein said emergency data transponding device is connected to said at least one remote storage database via an internet connection. 
     
     
         14 . A detailed information database comprising:
