Patent number: 11127282Abstract: Systems and methods for an emergency response system (ERS) to provide an augmented reality overlay on a real-world scene through the heads-up display (HUD) of an emergency responder. In addition to displaying information known to the ERS, an emergency responder terminal of the ERS can detect propagated signals from devices not registered with the ERS. The source and location of the propagated signal can be determined, and a generic display object can be generated representing the location of the propagated signal. The generic display object can be displayed on the HUD when the location of the source of the propagated signal falls within the field of view of a camera component of the emergency responder terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: TITAN HEALTH & SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Vic A.

Patent number: 11107177Abstract: Synchronizing data with metadata includes simultaneously triggering a metadata generation unit to produce metadata that are stored in a reliable metadata queue, and a data unit producing unit that produces data units that are processed in a lossy processing pipeline. A synchronizer obtains a processed data unit, and considers one or more statistics associated with the metadata queue to determine whether it is likely that a data unit was dropped by the lossy processing pipeline. For example, an increase in the depth of the queue may be used to infer that a data unit was dropped. If so, enough metadata entries may be dequeued such that the next metadata entry is correctly synchronized with the data unit. The synchronized data unit and metadata unit are output together. Another technique may take the output from two or more different systems and align data units from each system based on the metadata.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Ashley, Dharm Raj
