  • Patent number: 10515417
    Abstract: A multi-media communication device may communicate with one or more sensors to obtain sensor data. The device may detect an incident based on communicating with the one or more sensors. The incident may be detected based on the sensor data associated with the one or more sensors. The device may process the sensor data and other information to confirm the incident based on detecting the incident. The device may transmit information, to one or more other devices, to initiate an incident response based on confirming the incident. The device may provide, for display via a user interface of the multi-media communication device, information associated with indicating that the incident response is initiated. The information may identify the incident response.

  • Patent number: 10165224
    Abstract: A communication collaboration system may include a memory storing machine readable instructions to receive a first signal representing a first mode of communication for a user. The communication collaboration system may further include machine readable instructions to seamlessly escalate the first signal to a second signal representing a second mode of communication for the user. The second mode of communication may be different from the first mode of communication. The communication collaboration system may further include a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.
