System and method for the definition and scope of commercial mobile alerts

摘要

An emergency alert system includes an emergency alert gateway configured for receiving an emergency alert message, for categorizing the emergency alert message, and for determining a subscriber base to receive the emergency alert message, a data base in communication with the emergency alert gateway; and an emergency alert server configured to distribute the emergency alert message to the subscriber base. A method of distributing emergency alert messages includes receiving an emergency alert message, determining whether the emergency alert message is one of at least three categories of alert messages, selecting a subscriber base based on the determining step and distributing the emergency alert message to the selected subscriber base.
