  • Patent number: 10728502
    Abstract: A method and a system of uploading files over multiple communications channels. The files are associated with correlating metadata with data assets, such as video and audio files, so that the files are rendered as a combination presentation are described herein. The system includes a transceiver and a peer to peer network interface that supports a plurality of different communications transports. The system may receive a remote command from a remote software administration application, over the transceiver via the network interface. A software eventing system responsive to the command may select a custom driver with an event handler to perform the upload over a communications transport than the one the remote command was received.

  • Patent number: 10691902
    Abstract: Techniques for efficiently and automatically activating portable devices include a device nomenclature schema used to associate devices with particular entities, including a person, a group of persons, a role, a location, a type, etc. A first device can be configured to activate one or more other devices according to assigned entity names when certain conditions occur. When a recording event occurs, metadata associated with one or more recording devices is stored, including entities that were activated during the recording event. A reviewer of the event recording can thereby easily determine other devices that might have stored data related to the event.

  • Patent number: 10638422
    Abstract: A portable recording device may receive an access request from a user device via a communication connection that is established between the portable recording device and the user device. The portable recording device may store data files that include one or more data assets that are captured by the portable recording device. The data assets include a video recording, an audio recording, or a multimedia recording. The portable recording device determines whether a device identifier included in the access request indicates the user device is a trusted device or an untrusted device. The portable recording device may provide the user device with unrestricted access to the data files stored on the portable recording device when the user device is a trusted device. Otherwise, the user device may be provided with one or more restricted access privileges with respect to the data files when the user device is an untrusted device.

  • Patent number: 10565065
    Abstract: Data may be stored across the clouds of multiple cloud computing providers to improve data security. Software infrastructure components of an original cloud computing provider storing data via a first virtual machine (VM) may be identified. Software infrastructure components of an alternative cloud computing provider that is to store the data via a second VM may also be identified. A comparison is performed to determine components missing from the alternative cloud computing provider. Accordingly, configuration data may be created to cause a VM configuration utility to provision the second virtual machine with the missing components at a runtime of the second virtual machine. The configuration data and a command to activate creation of the second virtual machine on a cloud of the alternative cloud computing provider is sent to the VM configuration utility. Subsequently, a backup or a transfer of the data from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine may be initiated.

  • Publication number: 20190086220
    Abstract: Techniques for providing target coverage using mobile assets are described, including techniques for dynamically adjusting routing of mobile assets to cover targets when a disruption occurs in the original routing and target coverage plans. Mobile assets are assigned routes to cover target areas and adherence to the routes is monitored. If a first mobile asset experiences a route interruption, other mobile assets are automatically re-routed to cover the target areas originally covered by the route of the first mobile asset.

  • Patent number: 10194390
    Abstract: A portable recording device may use a low-energy transceiver to communicate with a computing device in order to activate a high-energy communication connection with the computing device for exchanging data. The portable recording device may initially broadcast a device identifier of the portable recording device via the low-energy transceiver. The portable recording device may then connect to a computing device via a high-energy communication connection that is formed using a high-energy transceiver of the portable recording device. The computing device may be triggered to initiate a formation of the high-energy communication connection with the portable recording device by the device identifier broadcasted using the low-energy transceiver. Subsequently, the portable recording device may send data files to the computing device via the high-energy communication connection. The data files may include a data asset that is captured by the portable recording device or metadata for the data asset.

  • Patent number: 10030986
    Abstract: Analytic maps may be used to develop and refine law enforcement strategies. Initially, the data assets and associated telemetry information of media recording devices may be stored in a primary database. The data assets include an audio recording, a video recording, or a multimedia recording. The associated telemetry information includes geolocations of the media recording devices at multiple times. References to the data assets and duplicate of the associated telemetry information are stored in a secondary database, in which the secondary database may provide faster data read speed than the primary database. Pre-calculations are performed based at least on the telemetry information as stored in the secondary database according to one or more mapping parameters to generate multiple sets of pre-calculated data. A set of pre-calculated data is then sent for presentation on an analytic map of a dashboard displayed on a remote computing device.

  • Patent number: 9881612
    Abstract: Portable recording devices used by a person, such as a law enforcement officer, may be automatically activated to capture data assets. A dispatch request may be sent from a server to a computing device used by person equipped with a portable recording device. Subsequently, the server may determine whether the portable recording device is activated by the computing device to record a data asset. In response to a determination that there is a lack of activation of the portable recording device by the computing device to record the data asset following the dispatch request, the server may activate the portable recording device of the person to record the data asset.

  • Publication number: 20180004834
    Abstract: A method and system of correlating annotations of media files. A first media file is received from a first media recording device. A file record for the first media file is created in the file table. A determination is made whether the first media file belongs to an existing matter group. Upon determining that the first media file belongs to an existing matter group: the file record is related with the existing matter group in the file table; annotations of the first media file that are flagged to be shared, are related to all media files of the existing matter group; and annotations of all the media files of the existing matter group to the first media file are related. Upon determining that the first media file does not belong to an existing matter group, a new matter group is created for the first media file in the matter table of the central server.
