US Patent 10178516 Time-adaptive brevity code response assistant

Methods and systems for providing a time-adaptive notification to public safety personnel when a response to a voice communication including a brevity code is not received. One system includes an electronic computing device configured to monitor a first voice communication received by or transmitted from a first communication device and determine that the first voice communication includes a brevity code having a predetermined meaning. The electronic computing device is further configured to determine a response time based on the predetermined meaning and determine that the response time has elapsed and that a second voice communication has not been transmitted from the first communication device before the response time elapsed. The electronic computing device is further configured to provide a notification on an output device of at least one of the first communication device and a second communication device.
