Abstract:
A method, device, and system for creating a communication group among a plurality of mobile communication devices. The method includes creating, at a first mobile communication device, a first trigger condition that includes detection of a second mobile communication device in an area defined by an area definition. A context data message that includes the first trigger condition and the area definition is sent by the first mobile communication device. When the first trigger condition occurs and when the first mobile communication device is outside the area, a communication group is established with the first mobile communication device and the second mobile communication device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for restricting network access is provided herein. More particularly, when an officer operates in a covert mode, a geofence boundary will be set to surround a device associated with the officer. Devices not associated with the officer will have their network access restricted if they are determined to exist within the geofence.
Abstract:
A device and method for adjusting data communications in presence systems is provided. For a given communication device, of a plurality of communication devices, a controller of server determines a number of the plurality of communication devices that are actively watching presence data associated with the given communication device. Based on the number, the controller adjusts data communications of the given communication device.
Abstract:
A method, device, and system for creating a communication group among a plurality of mobile communication devices. The method includes creating a first trigger condition, at a first mobile communication device, the first trigger condition including detection of a second mobile communication device in an area. A context data message that includes the first trigger condition and the area definition is sent by the first mobile communication device to a communication beacon having a range that includes the area. When the first trigger condition occurs and when the first mobile communication device is outside the area, receive a group call at the first mobile communication device from the second mobile communication device.
Abstract:
In an emergency, a gateway application, which has been installed on a mobile communications device, is actuated to advise a public safety answering point (PSAP) in a public safety (PS) network of the emergency, and to disable restrictions on application downloading to the mobile device. Once the emergency has been confirmed by the PSAP, an emergency application, which has been selected by the PSAP, is downloaded to the mobile device. The downloaded emergency application can be executed by the PSAP and/or by a PS person, to remotely control the mobile device to help remedy the emergency. The downloaded emergency application can be removed from the mobile device upon closing of the emergency.
