  • Patent number: 11696247
    Abstract: A hub may receive event data captured by a body-worn device and store the event data in a memory of the hub. The event data is then backed up from the hub to a memory of an additional hub communicatively connected to the hub. A copy of event data for a predetermined period of time as included in the event data is then transferred from the memory of the hub to a data store of a network operations center (NOC). In response to the transfer being complete, the hub may delete the event data for the predetermined period of time, send a first command to the additional hub directing the additional hub to delete a backup of the event data for the predetermined period of time, or send a second command to the body-worn device directing the body-worn device to delete the event data for the predetermined period of time.

  • Publication number: 20230206749
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for a consumer application that integrates a model-controller-view (MCV) design pattern with an event streaming platform such as an Apache Kafka™ in a network operation center (NOC) server to support NOC workspace interoperability. The MCV design pattern may include a pattern that divides an application into three main logical components (e.g., model component, controller component, and view component) to handle specific aspects of the application. In one example, the model component decouples the telemetry data streams from an event stream platform, and the controller component filters a queried set of decoupled telemetry data streams to dynamically control views to be rendered in the view component.

  • Publication number: 20230205739
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for creating a universal schema with default fields that support sensor formats of different devices. In one example, the universal schema supports substantial equivalents between data fields in different sensor formats. Further, a sensor format may be configured to support inheritance and aggregation of sensor formats in prior devices. Accordingly, the mapping of sensor formats that supports inheritance and aggregation in the universal schema may provide several advantages such as capturing a mapping of substantive equivalents between the fields in different sensor formats.

  • Patent number: 11689654
    Abstract: Techniques for performing data exchanges during voice call sessions is described. In one example, a network server may facilitate a voice call session between user devices and associate a unique session number (USN) to each of the voice call sessions. The USN may be used as a reference when toggling between voice call sessions. In one example, when a particular voice call session is toggled to an active state, the network server may limit recipients of sensitive financial information to be between transacting parties in the active voice call session. By isolating other user devices that are not privy to transactions in the active voice call session, the chances for a transacting party in the active voice call session to accidentally send payments, for example, to an unintended recipient can be substantially minimized.

  • Patent number: 11630677
    Abstract: A data aggregation implementation includes self-configuring drivers. From the viewpoint of a Network Operation Center (NOC), a plurality of heterogenous content sources provide content that may be of a variety of different types and formats. All of this content must be ingested and stored for retrieval and reporting, analysis, and/or presentation despite many differences in their collection, format, transmission, and quality. In some embodiments, the NOC includes or cooperates with one or more servers to, among other functions, receive content from content sources, request object reflection by the driver of each content source, receive driver attributes in response, and map the metadata of the content for each content source to a universal schema, thereby self-configuring the driver.

  • Publication number: 20230108026
    Abstract: Sensor data from one or more protective equipment sensors of protective equipment worn by a person are received. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that no emergency situation occurred for the person, sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to a server when a route of communication is available. In response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and at least one route of communication is currently available, the sensor data is sent from the body-worn hub to the server via at least one route of communication. However, in response to determining based at least on the sensor data that an emergency situation occurred for the person and there is no available route of communication, the sensor data is analyzed at the body-worn hub to determine whether the person is injured.
