A method of providing a keyboard input on a touchscreen display of a mobile communication device. The method comprises receiving a plurality of keywords indexed to completion action recommendations by a client keyboard application executing on a mobile communication device, where the completion action recommendations define suggestions for completing a partial keyboard input string, storing the keywords indexed to completion action recommendations on the device, searching the stored keywords by the client keyboard application based on an identity of the application executing on the device that is associated with a keyboard input, based on a current location of the device, and based on at least one word in the partial keyboard input string, and providing a prompt associated with the completion action recommendation found based on the search of the stored keywords on the touchscreen of the device, whereby inputting data via the keyboard to the application executing is promoted.

Intelligent keyboard

A communication network comprises a public safety answering point, a responder device, and a customer information system. The public safety answering point receives a call from a caller and signaling for the call. The signaling indicates a key associated with the call. The public safety answering point transfers dispatch information that identifies the key to the responder device. The responder device receives the dispatch information and generates and transmits a context request that indicates the key. The responder device receives a context response that includes a context information. The customer information system receives the context request, processes the context request to select the context information from a plurality of context information based on the key, and transfers the context response.

Emergency call handling to provide context information to responder devices

A communication network comprises a calling device, a call processing system, and a customer information system. The calling device transmits a call request for an emergency call to the call processing system. The call request includes a caller identification that identifies a caller. The call processing system receives the call request, generates and transfers first signaling for the call that includes the caller identification and a key, and generates and transfers second signaling for the call that includes the key. The customer information system has a plurality of context information stored in association with a plurality of caller identifications. The customer information system receives the first signaling for the call, processes the caller identification to determine a context information from the plurality of context information associated with the caller identification, and stores the key in association with the context information.

Providing context information for emergency calls

An emergency service system receives a call transmitted from a calling device to an emergency service to obtain assistance for a person, receives from a responder device a personal information request for personal information associated with the person, wherein the personal information request includes a personal identification read by the responder device that identifies the person, determines if the responder device is authorized to request the personal information, and transfers the personal information to the responder device if the responder device is authorized.
