Offender transport tracking and emergency response (OTTER) system

摘要

A computer based process which allows communication between third party systems capable of text based notification via the Internet and any Common Alert Protocol (CAP) enabled alerting system by analyzing data in e-mail alerts and matching that data with a list of Offender Tracking, Transport, and Emergency Response (“OTTER”)-defined response plans. When appropriate, OTTER processes the data and converts the data into a format that can be sent to a CAP enabled alerting system. Once relayed to the alerting system, alerting occurs across a broad range of communications devices including e-mail, cellular and land-based phones, Personal Data Assistants, SMS text messaging, etc. This allows for a unified approach to managing alerts from multiple monitoring and alerting systems in an organization.
