Abstract: After receiving an alert for distribution in a target geographic area, a wireless carrier network may identify a first set of one or more coverage areas that are entirely encompassed within the target geographic area and a second set of one or more coverage areas that are only partially encompassed within the target geographic area. In the first coverage-area set, the wireless carrier network may then broadcast the alert in a manner that directs a recipient device to output the alert regardless of the device's location. And in the second coverage-area set, the wireless carrier network may broadcast the alert in a manner that directs a recipient device to output the alert only if the device's location is encompassed within the target geographic area.

Abstract: A computing system such as an alert originator may provide an interface through which a user (e.g., an employee of a public safety agency) may input a definition of a target area for distribution of a prospective alert. Upon receiving a target-area definition, the computing system may then request and receive a definition of an actual area in which the prospective alert would be distributed—which is composed of the coverage areas in which each participating wireless carrier networks would distribute the prospective alert. In turn, the computing system may present the user with a depiction of the actual distribution area for the prospective alert (e.g., an overlay of a geospatial shape on a map graphic), which enables the user to assess the actual distribution area and decide whether to refine the target geographic area for an alert before that alert is distributed.

Abstract: After receiving a message that defines an initial target area for distribution of an alert, a wireless carrier network may identify a first set of one or more coverage areas that are fully encompassed within the initial target area and a second set of one or more coverage areas that are partially encompassed within the initial target area. For each partially-encompassed coverage area, the network may then define a respective target area that is less geometrically complex than the initial target area. In turn, the network may broadcast the alert (1) in each fully-encompassed coverage area in a manner that directs a recipient device to output the alert regardless of the device's location and (2) in each partially-encompassed coverage area in a manner that directs a recipient device to output the alert only if the device's location is encompassed within the respective target area for the coverage area.
