  • Publication number: 20230098135
    Abstract: An emergency system can access a variety of situational data items, such as video streams, facility information, and present and past incident data. The emergency system identifies data items that may be relevant to a particular incident and provides the relevant data items in one or more user interfaces. For example, the emergency system identifies relevant data items based on the reported location of the incident and the type of incident. As additional incident information is received or entered by telecommunicators, the emergency system can further filter and surface data items likely to be useful in responding to the incident. Certain data items may only be permitted to be viewed by certain types of users, or under certain conditions. The emergency system may ensure that data items are provided to authorized users and in permitted use cases.

  • Publication number: 20230049959
    Abstract: An emergency response system provides a map-based interface for a telecommunicator to view information about an incident and coordinate a response to the incident. The emergency response system gathers supplemental data regarding locations and other information that may be relevant in assisting with the incident. The interface may automatically select relevant supplemental information based on the incident and provide this incident-specific information for display on the interface. The user may then select a response on the interface such as a unit to dispatch that the system automatically implements, providing unified information and control for incidents, supplemental information, and incident response.

  • Publication number: 20230030719
    Abstract: As part of an emergency response, a region in which communications may be affected by the emergency may be identified and used to prioritize communication by responders to the emergency. When an emergency is identified with a location, a priority communication region may be determined along with a set of identifiers corresponding to devices operated by emergency responders. Such responders may typically receive normal priority in the communications network. When the emergency is active, the location of responders' devices is monitored and when the devices are within the priority communication region the devices may be assigned a higher priority level of service in the communications network. When these devices leave the priority communication region or the emergency ends, the priority of the devices may be returned to a normal priority level for the devices.

  • Patent number: 11537353
    Abstract: A multi-display capture system receives user selections of two or more display areas, such as screens or application windows, generated by a computing device. The multi-display capture system simultaneously captures a video stream of each of the selected display areas. In another display area, the multi-display capture system outputs a combined display that includes each of the captured video streams. The user may select a video stream to enlarge, and the multi-display capture system enlarges the video streams while continuing to display the other video streams. The combined display may be shared with one or more other users.

  • Publication number: 20220191671
    Abstract: An emergency system for sending outbound messages to emergency callers receives data signals related to emergency calls that have been answered at a public safety answering point (PSAP) and data signals related to emergency calls that have not been answered. A user of the emergency system can select a geographic area, e.g., an area with a high volume of unanswered calls, and configure a message to be sent to the phone numbers associated with unanswered emergency calls within the geographic area.

  • Patent number: 11253736
    Abstract: A dispatch system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) interface for interfacing with one or more UAVs for wildfire detection. The UAV interface transmits an instruction for a UAV to navigate to a location of a potential wildfire, and receives data captured by at least one sensor of the UAV. The dispatch system further includes a fire detection engine to process the received data to identify the presence of a wildfire, and a web server to provide a user interface that includes an alert regarding the wildfire. The alert may include the location of the wildfire.

  • Patent number: 11250262
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a propulsion system, a camera system, a processor, and communications circuitry. The camera system includes an image channel with a band pass filter centered near a spectral line of a material associated with wildfires, and the camera system captures a spectral line emission image within a region of a potential wildfire. The processor uses the captured spectral line emission image to identify an emission event indicative of a wildfire. The communications circuitry transmits, to a dispatch system, data describing a location of an identified emission event. The dispatch system may dispatch firefighting resources to the location of the wildfire.
