Abstract: A device, system, and method for reducing machine learning bias in machine learning generated textual lists of time-stamped events is provided. The device generates, via a machine learning algorithm, using sensor data related to the incident, a textual list of time-stamped events for an incident, one or more of the events associated with respective machine learning confidence scores. For a given time-stamped event having a respective machine learning confidence score less than a threshold confidence score, the device redacts the given event in the list and replaces it in the list with a field for receiving input, the list of rendered at a display screen with the given event in the list replaced with the field. The device receives, via an input device, input at the field and after receiving the input, un-redacts the given event, and renders, at the display screen, the received input received and the given event.

Abstract: A process of updating workflows associated with a user based on a change in user's location. The workflow indicates that a trigger and a responsive action are respectively executed on a first physical device and a second physical device while the user is assigned to or physically present at a first location. The server detects that there is a change in user's location to a second location and responsively determines that a physical device selected from one of the first and second physical devices is no longer available for executing the workflow at the second location. The server identifies a third physical device capable of executing a workflow function previously executed by the selected physical device at the first location. The server then implements an updated workflow by replacing the selected physical device indicated in the workflow with the third physical device.

Abstract: Techniques for converged incident management workflows between private and public safety are provided. A workflow server connected to a network and associated with an enterprise detects that a workflow has been initiated. The workflow includes an action to request a public safety response. A workflow identifier for the workflow that has been initiated is sent to a public safety network. Information associated with the workflow that has been initiated is sent to the public safety network. An indication of capabilities of the public safety response is received. The workflow server creates at least one of a trigger node and an action node associated with the indication of capabilities of the public safety response. At least one existing workflow within the workflow server is modified to include the at least one of the trigger node an action node associated with the indication of capabilities of the public safety response.

Abstract: A smart ring (100) provides multi-mode control in a personal area network (PAN). The smart ring has a fingerprint sensor (106) for identifying upon which finger and which finger segment the smart ring is being worn. A controller (902) of the smart ring (100) enables a predetermined PAN device and PAN control function in response to identified finger and finger segment information (1, 2, 3) matching pre-stored fingerprint information. One of the PAN devices is thus selectively enabled and a predetermined function is controlled, based on identification of the finger and finger segment location of the smart ring (100). Several different PAN devices (narrowband radio, body-worn camera, sensors, gun holster, remote speaker microphone, broadband device, to name a few) can be selectively controlled and varied via rotation of the smart ring (100), making the smart ring well suited for public safety applications.

A plurality of control buttons (108, 110, and 140) are automatically assigned increased sensitivity levels in response to detected gloved mode operation in accordance with the measurement. The increased sensitivity levels allow various radio functions to be accessed by a gloved finger input during gloved mode operation with increased reliability. Additional control button identification can be added through the addition of vibrational alerts.
