Abstract:
A first device in a group of devices is assigned a role of operating as a server node for the group of devices. The server node determines that an entity is associated with one device in the group of communication devices. The server node creates a token and associates the token with the entity. The server node also identifies a resource type to which the entity belongs, assigns ownership for the token to one device based on the device being associated with the entity and further based on one or more of: at least one incident allocation criterion; at least one entity allocation criterion; and at least one node allocation criterion. One device executes at least one predefined entity rule associated with the resource type based on ownership of the token assigned to the entity.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided that aid law enforcement agencies in intercepting a suspect before he or she can go into hiding. The method and apparatus provide for law enforcement agencies to track a person of interest (POI) and to predict an intercept point and/or a destination where the POI may be found, based on situational data and social media content. Further, the method and apparatus provide for determining and adjusting a geofence based on a predicted route and/or destination of a POI and for dispatching public safety officers to the geofence, predicted intercept point, and/or predicted destination to aid in the apprehension of the POI.
Abstract:
A first device in a group of devices is assigned a role of operating as an elected leader node for the group of devices. The elected leader node determines that a sensor entity of a sensor entity type is associated with one device in the group of communication devices. The elected leader node creates a token and associates the token with the sensor entity. The elected leader node also assigns ownership for the token to one device based on the device being associated with the sensor entity and further based on one or more of: at least one incident allocation criterion; at least one sensor entity allocation criterion; and at least one node allocation criterion. One device executes at least one predefined sensor entity rule associated with the sensor resource type based on ownership of the token assigned to the sensor entity.
Abstract:
A process and system for enabling a 360-degree threat detection sensor system that is physically coupled to a vehicle to monitor an area of interest surrounding the vehicle. An electronic computing device selects an area of interest surrounding a vehicle stop location to be monitored by the sensor system. When the sensor system has an obstructed field-of-view of the area of interest, the electronic computing device determines a new vehicle stop location at which the sensor system has an unobstructed field-of-view of the area of interest when the vehicle is to be stopped at the new vehicle stop location. The electronic computing device then transmits an instruction to a target electronic device to provide an electronic indication identifying the new vehicle stop location to a registered occupant of the vehicle, or autonomously control the vehicle to stop at the new vehicle stop location.
Abstract:
A process for real-time language detection and language heat map data structure modification includes a computing device receiving, from a first electronic audio source, first audio content and identifying a first geographic location of the first audio content. The computing device then determines that the first audio content includes first speech audio and identifies a first language in which the first speech audio is spoken. A first association is created between the first geographic location and the first language, and a real-time language heat-map data structure modified to include the created first association. Then a further action is taken by the computing device as a function of the modified real-time language heat-map data structure.
Abstract:
A process for identifying a person, object, or entity (POE) of interest outside of a moving vehicle includes first receiving, from a camera coupled to the vehicle, a video stream having a field-of-view (FOV) of an area surrounding the vehicle. A first trigger is detected associated with a vehicle occupant's indicated desire to capture a portion of the video stream. A selected FOV sub-portion of the video stream less than then an entire captured FOV of the video stream is identified as a function of the trigger or a separate electronic sensor input. A second trigger is detected indicative of the vehicle occupant's indicated desire to stop capturing the portion of the video stream. The video stream is then sub-selected in time and FOV as a function of the foregoing to create a second modified video stream and provided to a target device for display.
