Classifying a message includes receiving a message to be classified, wherein the message includes a message identifier. If the message identifier uniquely maps to a corresponding classification category, the message is labeled with the identified classification category. If the message identifier does not map directly to a corresponding classification category, the message to be classified is parsed and a plurality of features from the parsed message are identified, wherein at least one classifi...

The present invention is a system and method for reporting an emergency situation to a called party a using a wireless device. The wireless device comprises a keyboard and a microprocessor. In one embodiment, when a specific keystroke sequence is entered using the keyboard, the wireless device performs the following tasks: (1) disabling one or more components of the wireless device; (2) establishing a wireless communication session with the called party; (3) communicating with a location system ...

Alerts (13) are generated at mobile entity devices (12) and servers (16). The alerts are examined at the servers and handled by the server and/or forwarded to a clearing house (22). At the clearing house, emergency events (40) are created in response to the alerts by an event module (36). A notify module (38) compares events to an information need (304) associated with a subscriber profile (46) to determine whether a subscriber associated with the subscriber profile should be notified about even...
