Publication number: 20240114208Abstract: Techniques for heightened video redaction based on audio are provided. A first level of redaction is applied to an individual captured in a video recording. Audio signatures in the video recording associated with the individual captured in the video recording are identified. It is determined that that the audio signatures, in a context of the video recording, will increase a likelihood of personally identifying the individual captured in the video recording.

Patent number: 11922689Abstract: A process of augmenting images of incident scenes with object descriptions retrieved from an audio stream. In operation, an electronic computing device detects an object of interest in an image captured corresponding to an incident scene and identifies an audio stream linked to an incident identifier of an incident that occurred at the incident scene. The electronic computing device then determines whether the audio stream contains an audio description of the detected object of interest. When it is determined that the audio stream contains the audio description of the detected object of interest, the electronic computing device generates a visual or audio prompt corresponding to the audio description of the detected object of interest and plays back the visual or audio prompt via a corresponding display or audio-output component communicatively coupled to the electronic computing device.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Chong Hin Chee, Wei Lun Chan, Vincent Van Der Walt, Stuart James Boutell

Patent number: 11501731Abstract: A process for operating an electronic computing device to assign video streams to watcher devices. The electronic computing device detects objects of interest within a field-of-view of a camera as a function of incident context information. The electronic computing device obtains video display characteristics associated with watcher devices and further determines, based on respective positions of the objects of interest within the field-of-view, a plurality of sub-regions each enclosing at least one of the detected objects of interest and having one or more video attributes. The electronic computing device then assigns, based on the video display characteristics associated with the watcher devices and the video attributes of the sub-regions, each of the sub-regions to a respectively selected one of the watcher devices. The video streams respectively captured corresponding to each of the assigned sub-regions of interest are then transmitted to the respectively selected one of the watcher devices.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Chong Hin Chee, Chong Keat Chua, Bijun Leong, Wei Lun Chan

Patent number: 11095924Abstract: A process for providing a time-compressed preview of a pre-buffered video during a push-to-video (PTV) communication session. A video communication device detects a PTV activation command and analyzes a pre-buffered video to detect objects of interest. The video communication device then establishes a PTV communication session with a second video communication device to transmit a time-compressed preview of the pre-buffered video in which some of the video segments in which the objects of interest appear are configured for accelerated playback at the second video communication device. The video communication device transmits a live PTV stream for synchronous playback at the second video communication device only after the transmission of the time-compressed preview of the pre-buffered video is completed.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Chong Hin Chee, Wei Lun Chan, Bijun Leong, Chong Keat Chua

Publication number: 20190174293Abstract: A method and apparatus for quickly forming a PAN is describe herein. During operation a device will detect that it has gone from a charging state to a non-charging state (i.e., a battery not being charged). Moving from a charging state to a non-charging state is utilized as a trigger to form or join a PAN. Thus, a PAN can quickly be formed at the beginning of an officer's shift, simply by removing devices from a charger.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2016Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: STEVEN JOHN KERR, CHONG HIN CHEE, LEE SUN OOI

Patent number: 7872514Abstract: Latch circuit and clock signal dividing circuit comprises sequentially connected latch circuits. Each latch circuit has D-type latch with latch clock input, data input and data output.

Each latch circuit has an edge triggered gate that has gate clock input, output coupled to latch clock input and gate control input coupled to difference output of difference detector. In operation, when both a transition of clock signal supplied at gate clock input is detected by edge triggered gate, and the difference signal is provided to gate control input, will edge triggered gate allow an edge of a clock signal supplied at gate clock input to determine logic values supplied to latch clock input. As a result, data at input is transferred to output.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2008Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventor: Chong Hin Chee

Patent number: 6816091Abstract: An interpolation circuit and method for interpolating first and second out-of-phase ramp signals are disclosed. The interpolation circuit generates fractional ramp signals from the ramp signals and utilizes four multiplexers and two comparators to compare selected ones of the ramp signals. The comparator outputs are used by a finite state machine to provide a next state for the interpolator from the current state and the comparator outputs. The signals selected by the multiplexers are determined by the current state generated by the finite state machine. The finite state machine also detects a startup condition and determines the correct current state from the comparator outputs when different ramp signals are applied to the comparators. The ramp signals can be generated from out-of-phase signals from an optical comparator. The interpolation circuit generates new out-of-phase signals having a larger number of states per cycle.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2003Date of Patent: November 9, 2004Assignee: Agilent Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Colin Chong Hin Chee
