Abstract: A server may communicatively couple to a user device and an instructor device. The server may receive location information from the user device. The location information may define visual content captured by the user device. The server may transmit the location information to the instructor device. The instructor device may present the visual content based on the received location information and receive input defining an instruction from an instructor. The server may receive instruction information defining the instruction from the instructor device. The server may transmit the instruction information to the user device. The user device may present the instruction overlaid on top of the visual content based on the received instruction information.

Abstract: A community safety system (CSS) including a notification management entity (NME) comprising servers, the NME communicatively coupled to multiple user devices and one or more administrator devices (collectively, registered user devices). The CSS includes a plurality of registered users, wherein registered users may be associated with an organization, and a user category of a set of user categories. The NME may maintain a list of the registered users and associated information. The registered users may have user devices including a CSS application operating thereon, or SMS messaging program operating thereon. In some embodiments the CSS enables SMS-to-CSS App communications, and vice versa, enriching the CSS with information from users employing disparate communication platforms on their devices.

Abstract: An emergency response system (ERS) configured to acquire target terminal location data, emergency responder terminal location data, and equipment location data, engage a camera component of the emergency responder terminal to capture images of at least a portion of the surrounding real-world scene, providing such images for display on the touchscreen display of the emergency responder terminal, and providing one or more menu items associated with a selected target terminal display object, the one or more menu items configured to activate a resource of the target terminal of the selected target terminal display object to assist the emergency responder to locate the target terminal.

Abstract: A community safety system (CSS) including a notification management entity (NME) comprising servers, the NME communicatively coupled to multiple user devices and one or more administrator devices (collectively, registered user devices). The CSS includes a plurality of registered users, wherein registered users may share their own location, as well as sighting information about the location of a source of an emergency (e.g. a perpetrator) with the NME of the CSS. The NME may generate and provide display objects on a visualization interface of one or more users mobile devices displaying a map, the display objects indicative of user locations and/or emergency source location in the map displayed (e.g., in accordance with the map coordinate system).

Abstract: A mesh network includes a source node and non-source nodes. The source node generates geofenced message information defining a geofenced message for one or more non-source nodes within a geofence. The source node transmits the geofenced message information for reception by a non-source node within a communication range of the source node. The non-source node, responsive to receiving the geofenced message information, transmits the geofenced message information for reception by other non-source nodes within a communication range of the non-source node. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node presents the geofenced message. Based on the location of the non-source node being within the geofence, the non-source node does not presents the geofenced message.

Abstract: An emergency response system (ERS) configured to acquire equipment location data, target terminal location data, and emergency responder terminal location data; determine a horizontal distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, determine a vertical distance measure between the emergency responder terminal and a select unit of equipment, engage a camera component of the emergency responder terminal to capture images of at least a portion of the surrounding real-world scene, providing such images for display on the touchscreen display of the emergency responder terminal, and/or providing an equipment display object for display on the touchscreen of the emergency responder terminal such that, when an image provided for display spans a region of the real-world scene within which the equipment is located, the equipment display object dynamically overlays a segment of the image associated with the acquired equipment location data.

Abstract: A community safety system with inter-organizational communication, allowing for members of a first organization to provide alerts when located within a security zone associated with a second organization. A notification management entity, responsible for managing the different safety systems associated with each organization, determines where a user is located and whether the user is associated with any of the organizations responsible for the security zone in which the user is located.
