Title: Somewhat of an Idea.
Post by: Jp on April 22, 2007, 09:26:06 AM
Hey Hi,

The following is an idea, that I would like to run by the genius's amongst us, (excluding me), . .hopefully for your intellectual feed back.

I must say though it is considered an IP, and it is a work in progress as a concept in development.

Your comments, suggestions or advice will be appreciated.

Technology Process and Invention Disclosure for the Invention Entitled;
 "922", Emergency Response System
© Copyrights All Rights Reserved, April 16 2007

The use of a campus siren, horn or audible, ( and having a, "hearing". range appropriate
for the intended area it is to be used in),  signaling an emergency or a "911", signal that
can include, a signal-code, familiar to all involved persons in that area.for all members
to know what the coded signal is or means, whereby, they can expect articulated
information's, instructions and messages via, i.e., e-mail, inter-com televised or
internet message and a "call-In", telephone voice message system.

A tele-communication information's system, such as using a 922 call-in number
after the initial 911 emergency is established, (siren warning), i.e., is an indication
or verification that a 911-emergency is in process), in the case of emergency area
signal respondent has no visible or obvious reason to call 911, an individual may the
place a call to this, "922", central information resource for the area, a systems
information program to voice message emergency informations, and is accessable
for large numbers of callers simultaneously.

Plus, it would utilize a, "pop-in", rather than a, "pop-up", message, updating
information's, the presence of an update is noted by a beep during the information
message.

The updated information is an input that will be inserted at the end of the message,
gradually it moves forward to the front of the message, erasing and replacing the
original message if necessary.

Also, 922 responders can be refered to subsequent numbers such as 933, 944, etc. can be used for different
demographics, to updates, directorates and ER member information resources.

Conceived by J.P, 0416-0417-07

As stated this is an idea that has become a concept, . . . CH and staff were the first people I thought of to discuss with, since tele-communications and the concept are closely related in my way of thinking. I am hopeful that in someway you may enjoy it and find it challenge to betterment.

Yours Truly,
 ???

1. What benefit or intended purpose does this "added" feature tend to offer the standardized 911 emergency response?

2. Is this to allow a platform for emergency personnel to decipher real or intended threats ?

3. What practical applications are there for computer users?

* I see the thought process behind this but I am having a hard time determining its use?*   :-\

I don't think this "idea" nor others like it would have stopped or prevented that murderer from doing what he did. But; i bet another handgun in the right persons hand could have prevented the number who were killed, too bad most politicians don't see it that way!

Post by: Jp on April 26, 2007, 08:20:35 AM
My thoughts were that computer enthusiast, such as may be found at the computer hope forum, are or have in there knowledge base a basic telephonic perceptive skill or imagination.

Also, that they would have some perception as to the information exchange system that telecommunications technologies would encounter,
to change or improve a system since that is what computer tech's are or seem to be all about.

However with some of my experiences with modem knowledge, and encountering confusion, and complications that are not easily understood,
nor explained, and wanting to and having a need to understand what improvements and future technologies may be possible.

I meerly thought that the wizards amongst you would have some feedback,
that would activate brain waves.

You must remember this is but a concept, . . and its use, daahh, is communications, . . .in this case emergency responce !

It is not devised to altogether prevent what happened at VA-T, but a system like it could, under certain circumstances, i.e., (early warning, etc).

However, Emergency Responce is a good beginning, terrorism, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.

The use of cellular phones greatly enhances access to information, and the system concept would potentially unscramble confusion at those times.

Since, one call would provide informations to many persons, and at the same time, without having personell to answer each call, which would be close to impossible during an emergency.

And BTW, . . .

I really would like to know what happened to the cute little instructor chicken that CH allowed me to have, I feel as I have been slighted or deprived of an icon that I miss, that gave my post a personalized touch,
that I was so proud and fond of.

and thanks for finding a very unappetizing looking chicken but unfotunately it's the wrong one !!

I say Poooeeeeey!

Gentlemen,
Without wanting to be redundant, . .
allow me to add this ;    :D

Computer Hope Forum  /  Other  /  FAQ Solution Database  /  Internet & Network  /  Network  / 
« previous next » Networks for Home/Small Business
Contents

1. Intro
2. Dial-up internet connection
3. (DSL/Broadband/Cable) Modem connected to a single PC
4. (DSL/Broadband/Cable) Router networked to all PCs
5. File and print sharing

1. Intro

Your goal: Connect together computers on a home or small business network.  Share an internet connection.  Possibly also share files and printers across the network.  You don't need much knowledge in order to achieve this, but a little bit of understanding will help.

You can skip the intro and use one of the links above to find the information you particularly need, if you're impatient. 

O Computer, Where Art Thou?

In order to talk to each other, computers need to know where other computers are.  If you want to talk to another person, you need that person's telephone number.  A similar principle applies to networking computers.   The number that computers need to know is called a TCP/IP address.  TCP/IP addresses (or just "IP addresses" for short) look like this:
192.168.1.1
248.2.98.3
48.7.2.11
10.0.0.2

That's four numbers separated by dots.  Each number can be from 0 to 255.

Talking the same language

TCP/IP is the system that most networked computers use to talk to one another.  It has been around for a long time and has become the de facto international standard.  There are other networking languages (called protocols), but you do not need to worry about them, since you will only be configuring TCP/IP.

Commonly some computers will have more than one network protocol installed.  IPX/SPX is often in the list of installed protocols.  For our purposes, all extraneous protocols should be removed, in order to avoid conflicts, and to keep things as streamlined as possible.

Limitations

The obvious limitation with IP addresses is that we can easily run out of numbers.  The maximum number of computers that could be addressed would be 255 x 255 x 255 x 255 = 4,228,250,625.  At one time, it was inconceivable that there would be over 4 billion computers in the world, but we easily hit that limit today.

Post by: Jp on April 27, 2007, 09:42:47 AM
Are you guys kidding me,  :o

Look, a tornado warning goes off, you don't dial 911, you dial 922, and the latest information is communicated to you and hundreds or thousands of other callers.

A sniper is loose on the campus, . . you hear a warning signal, like a fog horn or a siren, you recognize it as an emergency warning, you don't know anything about the sniper or terrorist, . . you don't dial 911, . .911 takes emergency calls, someone talks to you and takes the information,
Instead you dial 922, . . and you get an information message, meant to inform hundreds or thousands of callers, updating them on the emergency and what they might do to protect themselves.

Regarding your 922, your last description of the service was a lot better in my opinion. It's not a bad idea, however I think it would be better for the number to be something different like 111 or 123, something not so close to 911.

Apparently he's living history, he left ages ago and came back a few days before I joined.
He decided to make up for his absence with around 65 (!) posts per day, until one day he stopped.
He's a real expert, but he doesn't post any more - look at his last post and he explains his absence.
He helped me a lot, and I really respect him, but he has a bit of a temper.
Please don't tell him I said that, he'll hunt me down.

Thanks for the tips ! ;)

Oh, . . before I forget, back to the topic;

O.K. Here's my story, . . .
 
After the Shooting Incident at V-Tech, and for sometime before this, (911), . .I have had an interest in Emergency Responce, etc.
 
I was talking with some Computer tech people via the internet and posted an inventive concept, it is viewable and remains on a forum post, . .basically providing the general concept and some details, for a system that provides a possible solution or improvement in E.R. communications.
 
Do I have rights as an inventor if in fact the process or technology is patentable ?


* Qoute;

" I think a persistent forum post, especially if "indexed" (i.e., one can find it fair easily -- especially if it shows up on Google), qualifies as a printed publication.
 
If you're hoping for rights outside the US (and Canada and Argentina), you're probably out of luck.  Even for the US (and Canada and Argentina), you have a chance for patent rights only if the forum post was made less than a year before your filing date.  If the post was made over a year ago, I can't think of a way that you can legitimately get patent rights. "

At this point since you have posted the idea both there and here you now have no protection over your idea...someone can do exactly what you proposed for profit and there's nothing you could do about it...

Considering only United States patent law:   
 
 - An inventor is allowed one year from the date an invention was publicly disclosed until a patent application is filed.  So if this forum post was not more than one year ago, the disclosure itself would not impact the patentability of the invention.
 
 - Also, until a patent application including claims is written the invention has not been precisely defined.  And until the invention is defined it is difficult to know if an enabling disclosure of the invention was made on the forum post.
 
So unless there were other facts not evident in "Quote" and "Reply" above, the Reply is not correct.

I think Raptor was close to the truth. I think you are Merlin's illegitimate offspring.

Ask the attorney if someone other than you filed a patent application which now made it a valid defined invention and then applied for and obtained a patent because you either A) didn't follow through on your idea and the time lapsed or B) realised how expensive the patent attorney process can be and then the time lapsed as well....wouldn't that person now hold a valid patent ? ?

Heck i thought of flavored whipped cream years ago and i never saw a dime...
