Abstract
Devices and methods for accessing data on at least one proximate computing device in an emergency situation are disclosed. A method includes: determining that the emergency situation is occurring; in response to determining that the emergency situation is occurring: determining a location where the emergency situation is occurring and a location of the computing device; and determining the location where the emergency situation is occurring is within a first predetermined distance of the location of the computing device; and in response to determining that the location where the emergency situation is occurring is within the first predetermined distance of the location of the computing device: determining the at least one proximate computing device located within a second predetermined distance of the location of the computing device; and receiving access to at least part of the data on the at least one proximate computing device.
