  • Patent number: 10567236
    Abstract: A method for interacting with a communications asset survey and mapping tool via a graphical user interface (GUI) includes capability to view and modify data types overlaid on a map interface displayed in the GUI. The data types include at least two of fixed asset information, mobile asset information, public safety agencies, communications unit personnel, radio channel sharing and usage, radio system coverage data, event-incident common operation picture (COP), and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) information. Display of the data types on the map interface can be filtered based on at least one of an asset-owning organization and selected geographical areas including states and counties. Reports can be generated about the data-type information, and the reports can include analytics information that is filterable by at least one of an objects summary, fixed assets, and mobile assets. Data-type information can be exported to a third-party software application and formatted into tables.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8769087
    Abstract: A Communication Assets Survey and Mapping Tool. The method includes collecting and storing agency, communication asset and interoperability data in a database, receiving a request for a display of agency, communication asset and interoperability of a geographic area, retrieving data regarding agency, communication asset and interoperability information from the database, determining interoperability between agencies based on their communication assets data and displaying interoperability information. Features include prioritizing interoperability solutions (a need vs ability analysis), data entry graphical user interface, data export, and community forum.
