    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for external accessory knob using a motion tracking device are disclosed. A portable electronic device may include a housing including a processor coupled to a memory and a motion tracking device. The external accessory knob may be mounted to the housing and may comprise a position holding mechanism. The motion tracking device may be operable to detect perturbation in at least one feedback parameter perturbed by movement of the external accessory knob. The movement may overcome opposition by the position holding mechanism. The processor may receive and compare the perturbed feedback parameter to a motion profile defined by data stored in the memory to identify a characteristic of the movement of the external accessory knob by matching the perturbed feedback parameter with at least one portion of the stored data defining the motion profile associated with known perturbations.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a device when a user does not answer a call is provided herein. During operation a wake word for the device is identified as a user's call sign (a combination of identifying letters, letters and numbers, or words assigned to an officer for use in communication (as in the address of a message sent by radio). The call sign does not comprise a sender or receiver's actual name. When a device detects the wake word as an over-the-air transmission, the device will determine if a user answered the call. If not, sensor data will be provided to the caller and a digital assistant will periodically remind the user of the unanswered call.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and tracking conversations of interest in crowded areas. The system includes a plurality of body worn portable public safety communication devices, each including a plurality of microphones and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to generate, using the plurality of microphones, a plurality of beams and scan in parallel, using the plurality of beams, a plurality of simultaneous audio conversations. The electronic processor is configured to identify and isolate a plurality of conversations of interest from among the audio conversations based on predetermined characteristics indicative of a potential threat. The electronic processor is configured to determine that at least two of the plurality of conversations of interest are potentially linked to a single potential threat, compile them for playback or transcription, and generate an alert indicating the availability of the linked conversations of interest.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing audio information captured by an interactive virtual assistant (IVA). An example method includes: converting sound received by a microphone into electrical signals; generating voiceprints corresponding to voices represented in the electrical signals; distinguishing signals representing background speech and signals representing voice commands directed at the IVA; and based on various signals representing background speech and voice commands, labeling each of the voiceprints with a tag selected from the group consisting of an IVA interactor occupant tag, an IVA non-interactor occupant tag, and a non-occupant tag. The method also includes transmitting, in response to a trigger event, a message with at least one of an estimated number of occupants in a geofenced area corresponding to the IVA and an alert reporting an indication of unlawful activity thereat.
