Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for implementing workflows across multiple differing systems and devices is provided herein. During operation a workflow for a first camera is automatically suggested, or a new workflow generated for the first camera, based upon a workflow being created for a second camera having a similar field of view as the first camera. In particular, a workstation (or server) will receive an indication that a workflow was created for a camera. The workstation (or server) then determines if any other cameras have similar field of views. New workflows will then be suggested (or implemented) for the cameras having similar field of views. The suggested/implemented workflows will have a similar trigger and a similar action.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for reducing learning time for a newly installed camera is disclosed. The method includes generating a new unusual activity model for the newly installed camera, based on portion(s) of existing and established unusual activity model(s) built for different older camera(s), where the existing and established unusual activity model(s) relate to at least one same static object appearing within Fields Of Views (FOVs) of the new and older cameras.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product that provides virtual assistance in facilitating visual comparison is disclosed. A method in accordance with example embodiments includes determining (by comparison of first metadata of an at least one user-provided image to second metadata of an at least one reference image) difference information as between an unknown object and a known object shown in the at least one user-provided image to the at least one reference image respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a warning about a suspect vehicle is provided. During operation automatic-license-plate-reading (ALPR) circuitry will scan a license plate and determine a current location of an owner of a vehicle. If the current location of the owner of the vehicle, and a current location of the vehicle differ, a warning is provided to the user of the ALPR circuitry. In an alternate embodiment, if the current location of all individuals who reside with the owner of the vehicle, and a current location of the vehicle differ, a warning is provided to the user of the ALPR circuitry.

Abstract: Techniques for delaying an alert based on suspicious activity detection are provided. An artificial intelligence system may detect suspicious behavior of a suspect within a vicinity of a school. A responder may be dispatched to investigate the suspect. An alert signal may be temporarily delayed. A time period for the delay may be associated with a time required for the responder to investigate and a severity of the alert signal. The delay may be canceled when the responder indicates the suspect behavior is not suspicious.

Abstract: Methods and systems of breaking pursuit of a target. One example embodiment includes an electronic processor configured to develop a first identifier for the target and determine a breaking junction and an intercept point associated with a cornering route. The processor is configured to determine a geographical area associated with at least one possible target flee route for the target and determine a second identifier for an object within the geographical area. The processor is configured to develop a discrimination factor representing a degree of differentiation of the first identifier from the second identifier. The processor is configured to predict whether the discrimination factor will exceed a threshold when the pursuit asset arrives at the breaking junction. The processor is configured to, in response to the discrimination factor exceeding the threshold, notify the pursuit asset to break pursuit of the target at the breaking junction to execute the cornering route.

Abstract: A process for preempting a transmission during a group call. An electronic computing device detects a user interaction by a first talk group member with multimedia content corresponding to an incident and determines an interaction measure corresponding to the user interaction with the multimedia content. The electronic computing device then adjusts a transmission preemption priority assigned to the first talk group member based on the interaction measure and an incident priority level associated with the incident. When a user input to initiate a transmission from a first communication device associated with a first talk group member is detected, the electronic computing device preempts a transmission from a second communication device associated with a second talk group member participating in the group call when the adjusted transmission preemption priority assigned to the first talk group member is greater than a transmission preemption priority assigned to the second talk group member.
