  • Publication number: 20200279390
    Abstract: A device, system and method for notifying a person-of-interest of their location within an estimated field-of-view of a camera is provided. The device: identifies a person-of-interest in an area proximal one or more of a first camera and the device; receives and processes images from the first camera to identify a second camera located in the area; determines a location of the person-of-interest; and determines, from the images, a respective location and estimated field-of-view of the second camera; determines, by comparing the location of the person-of-interest and the respective location and estimated field-of-view of the second camera, whether the person-of-interest is located within the estimated field-of-view of the second camera; and, when the person-of-interest is located within the estimated field-of-view of the second camera, controls a notification device to provide a notification to notify the person-of-interest of their location within the estimated field-of-view of the second camera.

  • Publication number: 20200279461
    Abstract: A process for dynamic vehicular threat detection perimeter modification for an exited vehicular occupant includes prior to detecting a vehicular occupant exiting the vehicle, establishing a first sized vehicular geofence surrounding the vehicle as a function of one or more stored vehicular perimeter distances. The first sized vehicular geofence is monitored for a first breach via one of a 360 degree vehicular light imaging and radio wave distancing system. In response to detecting that the vehicular occupant previously inside the vehicle has exited the vehicle, the one or more stored vehicular perimeter distances is modified as a function of a detected location of the exited vehicular occupant to establish a second sized vehicular geofence surrounding the vehicle different than the first sized vehicular geofence.

  • Publication number: 20200074245
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligent traffic stop classifier loading are provided. A processor may receive a plurality of inputs related to a current context of a law enforcement officer. Based on the plurality of inputs, it may be determined that the current context of the law enforcement officer is a vehicle traffic stop. An image classifier may be loaded onto an image capture device associated with the law enforcement officer based on the vehicle traffic stop determination. An object type associated with the image classifier may be scanned for using the image classifier loaded onto the image capture device.

  • Patent number: 10528794
    Abstract: A process at an electronic computing device that tailors an electronic digital assistant generated inquiry response as a function of previously detected user ingestion of related information includes receiving, from a video capture device configured to track a gaze direction of a first user, a video stream including a first field-of-view of the first user. An object is then identified in the video stream first field-of-view remaining in the first field-of-view for a determined threshold period of time, and the object processed via a video processing algorithm to produce object information, which is then stored. Subsequently, an inquiry is received from the first user for information, and it is determined that the inquiry is related to the object information. The electronic digital assistant then provides a response to the inquiry as a function of the object information.

  • Patent number: 10531048
    Abstract: A process for identifying a person, object, or entity (POE) of interest outside of a moving vehicle includes first receiving, from a camera coupled to the vehicle, a video stream having a field-of-view (FOV) of an area surrounding the vehicle. A first trigger is detected associated with a vehicle occupant's indicated desire to capture a portion of the video stream. A selected FOV sub-portion of the video stream less than then an entire captured FOV of the video stream is identified as a function of the trigger or a separate electronic sensor input. A second trigger is detected indicative of the vehicle occupant's indicated desire to stop capturing the portion of the video stream. The video stream is then sub-selected in time and FOV as a function of the foregoing to create a second modified video stream and provided to a target device for display.

  • Patent number: 10460746
    Abstract: A process for real-time language detection and language heat map data structure modification includes a computing device receiving, from a first electronic audio source, first audio content and identifying a first geographic location of the first audio content. The computing device then determines that the first audio content includes first speech audio and identifies a first language in which the first speech audio is spoken. A first association is created between the first geographic location and the first language, and a real-time language heat-map data structure modified to include the created first association. Then a further action is taken by the computing device as a function of the modified real-time language heat-map data structure.

  • Patent number: 10421437
    Abstract: A process for dynamic vehicular perimeter threat detection includes first identifying a vehicle destination location. Vehicular perimeter contextual parameters including an incident type, a historical crime rate, or a real-time crime rate associated with the vehicle destination location are retrieved. A perimeter distance of a sized vehicular geofence surrounding the vehicle is modified as a function of the vehicular perimeter contextual parameters. A 360 degree vehicular light imaging or radio wave distancing system physically coupled to the vehicle detects a breach of the sized vehicular geofence. One or more target electronic devices to notify of the detected breach are identified. And a notice of breach message provided to the identified one or more target electronic devices.

  • Publication number: 20190286901
    Abstract: A device, system and method for generating an alert and an automatic search for a candidate subject is provided. The device monitors one or more data sources to identify a candidate subject. The device determines, from rules for rating candidate subjects stored in a memory, a rating of the candidate subject. When the rating meets a first threshold: the device transmits, to one or more communication devices, an alert identifying the candidate subject. When the rating meets a second threshold, lower than the first threshold: the devices provides, a classifier defining the candidate subject to an object recognition engine to cause the object recognition engine to automatically search for the candidate subject, using the classifier, in multimedia data received at one or more edge devices. The multimedia data may include images.

  • Patent number: 9305323
    Abstract: A communication system (200) comprises a radio communication device (100) comprising a controller (102) having law enforcement information (110) stored therein and a data acquisition device (108) for capturing area conditions surrounding a law enforcement vehicle or law enforcement personnel. The controller (102) detects violations of the law enforcement information based on variety of detection devices, such as video analytics. In response to a detection of a law violation by an offending vehicle, a transmitter (104) within communication device 100 generates an alert to similarly formed secondary devices (220) mounted and/or worn within the network. The system (200) provides an automated response through devices (220) by gathering additional data pertaining to the offending vehicle to detect for additional violations of the law, even across state lines. The system (200) may further facilitate apprehension of an offending vehicle through automated roadblocks.
