Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and media for the provision of emergency services information are provided. Embodiments include receiving emergency services information at a mobile device from a computing device of a cellular network to which the mobile device is in communication. Embodiments further include displaying, in response to input from a user of the mobile device, at least a portion of the emergency services information on a display screen of the mobile device.

First claim

1 . A method for the provision of emergency services information, the method comprising:
storing, on a mobile device, first emergency services information corresponding to a first geographic area; receiving second emergency services information at the mobile device upon determining that the mobile device is in a second geographic area different from the first geographic area, the second emergency services information being associated with the second geographic area and being different than the first emergency services information; and displaying, in response to input from a user of the mobile device in the second geographic area, at least a portion of the second emergency services information on a display screen of the mobile device.

2 . A method for the provision of emergency services information, the method comprising:
receiving emergency services information at a mobile device from a network to which the mobile device is in communication; and displaying, in response to input from a user of the mobile device, at least a portion of the emergency services information on a display screen of the mobile device; wherein receiving the emergency services information comprises:
receiving at least one emergency service telephone number.

3 . The method of claim 2 ,
wherein receiving the emergency services information further comprise receiving at least one emergency services description corresponding to the at least one emergency services telephone number; and wherein displaying at least a portion of the emergency services information comprises displaying the at least one emergency services telephone number on the display screen of the mobile device and displaying the at least one emergency services description on the display screen of the mobile device.

4 . The method of claim 3 ,
wherein the input from the user of the mobile device comprises a signal received as a result of the user depressing and holding a button provided on the mobile device, wherein the button is predefined to correspond to a first type of emergency services, and wherein the at least one emergency services telephone number and at least one emergency services description correspond to the first type of emergency services.

5 . The method of claim 2 ,
wherein the emergency services information comprises:
a plurality of emergency services telephone numbers; and
a plurality of emergency services description texts, each emergency services description text in the plurality of emergency services description texts corresponding to an emergency services telephone number in the plurality of emergency services telephone numbers.

6 . The method of claim 5 ,
wherein displaying at least a portion of the emergency services information comprises displaying one or more emergency services description texts in the plurality of emergency services description texts on the display screen of the mobile device.

7 . (canceled)

8 . The method of claim 6 ,
wherein the input from the user of the mobile device comprises a signal received as a result of the user pressing an emergency services dialing button.

9 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
storing, on the mobile device, first emergency services information corresponding to a first geographic area; wherein receiving comprises receiving second emergency services information at the mobile device upon the mobile device being in a second geographic area different from the first geographic area, the second emergency services information being associated with the second geographic area and being different than the first emergency services information; and wherein displaying comprises displaying, in response to input from a user of the mobile device in the second geographic area, at least a portion of the second emergency services information on a display screen of the mobile device.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
determining that the mobile device has entered the second geographic area; and transmitting, by the mobile device, in response to determining that the mobile device entered the second geographic area, a signal requesting registration with a network computer device associated with the second geographic area, or a signal indicating that the mobile device has entered the second geographic area; wherein the second emergency services information is received after the signal has been transmitted.

11 . A mobile device for the provision of emergency services information, the mobile device comprising:
a memory storing first emergency services information corresponding to a first geographic area; a receiver configured to receive second emergency services information upon determining that the mobile device is in a second geographic area different from the first geographic area, the second emergency services information being associated with the second geographic area and being different than the first emergency services information; and a display screen of the mobile device configured to display, in response to input from a user of the mobile device in the second geographic area, at least a portion of the second emergency services information.

12 . A mobile device for the provision of emergency services information, the mobile device comprising:
a receiver configured to receive emergency services information from a network to which the mobile device is in communication; and a display screen of the mobile device configured to display, in response to input from a user of the mobile device, at least a portion of the emergency services information; wherein the emergency services information comprises:
at least one emergency services telephone number.

13 . The mobile device of claim 12 ,
wherein the emergency services information further comprise at least one emergency services description corresponding to the at least one emergency services telephone number; and wherein the display screen is configured to display the at least one emergency services telephone number on the display screen of the mobile device and display the first emergency services description.

14 . (canceled)

15 . The mobile device of claim 12 ,
wherein the emergency services information comprises:
a plurality of emergency services telephone numbers; and
a plurality of emergency services description texts, each emergency services description text in the plurality of emergency services description texts corresponding to an emergency services telephone number in the plurality of emergency services telephone numbers.
