Abstract: An integrated monitoring and multichannel communication system for the management of rescue teams, especially those fighting forest fires, comprises a suit, worn by a rescue worker; an electronic system; a telecommunication system; and an information system. The suit integrates fireproof, waterproof, heatproof and impact resistant materials to integrate, protect and allow access to the electronic system. The electronic system collects biometric and location data from the rescue worker, transmitting said data to a panel located in the back of the suit. The telecommunications system sends the biometric, orientation and location data, in real-time through an Ultra High Frequency network, to a computer integrated into a support vehicle, which in its turn sends the data to a server. The information system collects and manages the data to monitor the biometric, orientation and location data, to receive critical alerts and through maps to define deployment strategies for the rescue worker.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for developing a multimedia application is provided. A multimedia asset over a data network from a user. A library of a plurality of internal software modules is maintained. A user interface is provided to allow a user to select one or more of the plurality of internal software modules, and configure a plurality of parameters for controlling a selected internal software module, wherein at least one of the configured parameters references the multimedia asset received over the data network from the user. A first multimedia application is automatically generated including the user-selected internal software module, an identifier for determining the version of the user-selected internal software module, and the plurality of user-configured parameters including the reference to the multimedia asset received over the data network from the user. An updated user-selected internal software module is received.

Abstract: The present invention consists of an integrated monitoring and multichannel communication system for the management of rescue teams, especially those fighting forest fires, comprising a suit (1), worn by all operational suited units in the terrain; and electronic system (2); a telecommunication system (4) and an information system (3). The suit integrates fireproof, waterproof, heatproof and impact resistant materials, which as a unit integrate, protect and ease access to the electronic system. The electronic system (2) collects biometric and location data from the operational suited units in the terrain, transmitting said data to a panel located in the back of the suit. The telecommunications system (4) sends the biometric, orientation and location data, in real-time through an Ultra High Frequency network, to a computer integrated into a support vehicle, which in its turn sends the data, via terrestrial or satellite communications, to a server.
