Abstract: Systems and methods for generating certified images and incident reports are disclosed. An image capture device can be used to capture an image and integrate metadata from camera sensors as well as other ancillary device sensors into the image. The image and its metadata can then be certified upon a check that the image and its metadata are authentic and unaltered. The image and its metadata can then be included in or as a part of an incident or other report describing an incident or event such as an accident or a crime. The image and/or incident report may be maintained at a cloud-based server for viewing, authorized editing, and subsequent distribution.

Abstract: Methods and systems for secure media processing may be used to execute and certify a digital media asset by verifying that the digital media asset is authentic and has not been altered since capture. In some cases, these secure media processing techniques may be used in the mobile certification and execution application and a corresponding server system. The mobile application and the corresponding server system may automatically generate finalized documents upon receiving certified digital media and the corresponding metadata from the users. The digital media and other information from the users may be received while the user is in communication with other users. A biometric and artificial intelligent feature recognition system may be utilized to receive biometric data and verify identity. Data transferred to a secure server are accessible by various parties involved in the certification and execution process to provide transparency.

Abstract: Global positioning system (GPS) receivers, along with a user device with a camera, can be used to determine an elevation of a point of interest on or within a structure. The user device and a first GPS receiver can be located somewhere outside the structure from which the structure is clearly visible. A second GPS receiver can be located on, within, or near the structure. The user device receives location data from both GPS receivers and calculates a distance between the two. The user device then takes a digital photograph in which structure is visible and notes the photo capture angle. The user device then calculates the elevation of the point of interest trigonometrically using the calculated GPS distance and the photo angle. The user device can then automatically insert this information into associated documentation and transmit the same.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions, which when executed by a processor cause a first mobile device to receive a GPS location of the first mobile device. The system further receives a GPS location of one or more discoverable mobile devices. A distance is determined between the first mobile device and the one or more discoverable mobile devices based on the location information provided by a location system such as GPS or cellular triangulation. A display on the first mobile device provides the location information of the first mobile device and the one or more discoverable mobile devices. Movement of the first mobile device and the one or more discoverable devices based on location information is provided to the first mobile device. When the first mobile device is close to the one or more discoverable devices a user may capture a image or video of the user of the one or more discoverable devices.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for media capture and processing. In some examples, a media capture and processing system that includes a first camera receives information about a second camera. The system generates a device profile for the second camera based on the information about the second camera. The system captures a digital media asset using the first camera and using a digital media capture setting that is associated with the device profile and that simulates at least a first aspect of media capture using the second camera. The system processes the digital media asset using a digital media asset processing setting that is associated with the device profile to generate a processed digital media asset. The digital media asset processing setting simulates at least a second aspect of media capture using the second camera. The system outputs the processed digital media asset.

Abstract: A method for electronic device virtualization and management includes transmitting a signal to a server from a client. The signal is initiated by a user of a user interface of the client. The user interface of the client presents at least two devices to the user, which the user may interact with. The signal may include a power cycling instruction directed to at least one of the devices. When the server receives a communication back from the at least one device, it may send the information to the client, where the user interface may be updated in response to the communication. The devices may be controlled with other instructions, such as scheduling instructions, firmware update instructions, and configuration backup instructions. If a power device is virtualized, it may be controlled on a port-by-port basis.
