Patent number: 11425333Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product that enable video management of a plurality of video feeds with Push to Talk (PTT) communications. Some embodiments monitor a plurality of video feeds using a VMS graphics user interface (GUI) where a plurality of video feeds are video feed components of an interactive multimedia media object (IMMO) displayed in the VMS GUI. Some embodiments include receiving a selection of a first talk group that is associated with the IMMO, where members of the first talk group may view the video feed components and communicate via PTT. Subsequently, some embodiments include receiving a second selection of a second talk group, associating the second talk group with the IMMO, and enabling PTT communications among members of the second talk group and an operator of the VMS.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Mutualink, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R. Mazzarella, Michael S. Wengrovitz, Mark Hatten

Some embodiments monitor a plurality of video feeds using a VMS graphics user interface (GUI) where a video feed of the plurality of video feeds is a video feed component of an interactive multimedia media object (IMMO) displayed in the VMS GUI. A talk group is logically associated with the video feed of the plurality of video feeds. Some embodiments detect that an embedded PTT control component associated with the video feed is activated, and enable PTT communications among members of the talk group and an operator of the VMS.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2017Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Mutualink, Inc.Inventors: Joseph R.

Patent number: 9787940Abstract: Embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product that enable Push to Talk (PTT) communication within a video management software (VMS) system using embedded PTT controls. An embodiment operates by monitoring a plurality of video feeds using a VMS graphics user interface (GUI) where each video feed is a component of an interactive multimedia media object (IMMO) displayed in the VMS GUI. A talk group is logically associated with a video feed from the plurality of video feeds by coupling the talk group to an embedded PTT control component of the IMMO containing the video feed. Upon detecting that the embedded PTT control component corresponding to the video feed is activated, PTT communications is enabled between each member of the talk group regarding content displayed by the video feed.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: MUTUALINK, INC.Inventors: Joseph R. Mazzarella, Michael S. Wengrovitz, Mark Hatten

Patent number: 8781306Abstract: A smokable material vaporizer is disclosed, comprising of an enclosure having an elongated heating tube, a heating element, an air pump and a vapor collection receptacle for vaporizing a smokable material and allowing inhalation thereof. The heating tube is an elongated structure with a material loadable cap at its distal end and a screen for communicating vaporized material into the enclosure. The proximal end of the heating tube comprises a heating lamp element and a means to force air via a pump into the tube and through the screen. The heating lamp is powered by an electrical connection that includes a timer switch for safety and an activation switch. The lid of the enclosure is removable to reveal the attached heating tube, wherein smokable material is placed for the heating lamp to raise its temperature above vaporization levels, whereafter it is pumped into a collection receptacle bag for inhalation.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Inventor: Mark Hatten
