20080314681 | DYNAMIC RESOURCE ASSIGNMENT AND EXIT INFORMATION FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS - A method of providing situational awareness at an incident scene. Sensor data can be received from at least one sensor ( | 12-25-2008 |
20090291704 | Method of Establishing Parallel Group Services Over Disparate Communication Networks - Users affiliated with a first narrowband talk group or participating in a narrowband talk group communication are able to establish a parallel communication group with the same users of the first talk group using alternate communication devices to enable transmission of multimedia over the disparate communication networks. One or more databases store and correlate information regarding the users of the narrowband talk group, as well as information regarding the user's communication devices and access technologies employed by the communication devices to determine the possible broadband groups available and an acceptable access technology to transmit the multimedia to the broadband group/data group users. The disparate network group manager informs the users of the narrowband talk group of the presence or availability of the parallel broadband group and establishes the parallel broadband group session when requested to do so by a user of the narrowband talk group. | 11-26-2009 |
20100082810 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSFERRING A COMMUNICATION SESSION - A method and system for transferring an ongoing communication session from one application server (AS) to another is described. Multiple ASs are monitored and serviced by a Transfer Management Module (TMM). Each of the ASs serves a different network and each network includes various end devices. During an ongoing communication session, whether the session is to continue using the current AS is determined based on a set of rules. If the session is to be transferred, an alternative AS that provides the same application as the current AS is selected using a set of conditions. Upon selection of the alternative AS, the current AS transfers the control and/or media state of the ongoing session for one to all users through the TMM to the selected AS, and the session is continued. | 04-01-2010 |
20100157973 | SYNCHRONIZATION OF A PLURALITY OF DATA STREAMS - A method of synchronizing a plurality of data streams. A land mobile radio (LMR) data stream can be generated by a LMR communication device. At least one LMR identifier can be communicated from the LMR communication device to a broadband communication device. A broadband data stream can be generated by the broadband communication device. The broadband data stream and the LMR identifier can be communicated from the broadband communication device via an access network. The LMR identifier can enable synchronization of the LMR data stream with the broadband data stream. | 06-24-2010 |
20100159976 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING A COMMUNICATION GROUP FOR CONTENT DISTRIBUTION RELATED TO AN EVENT - A method and system is implemented to form a communication group comprising a plurality of entities. The method includes receiving a resource manager state generated for an event and extracting a plurality of parameters that indicate resource availability based on the resource manager state. The method further includes applying a set of rules to the resource state and to the plurality of parameters to select resources to form a communication group comprising a plurality of entities to distribute content related to the event. | 06-24-2010 |
20110143651 | METHOD FOR SELECTING MEDIA FOR DELIVERY TO USERS AT AN INCIDENT - A media selection and insertion control device implements a method for selecting media for delivery to a plurality of users at an incident. The media selection and insertion control device: receives a plurality of media inputs from multiple media sources; receives capabilities of devices of users at an incident; receives resource capabilities of a set of networks to which the users are communicatively coupled; receives a set of incident-based rules and applies these rules to the plurality of media inputs to select media inputs to deliver to the users; and determines a mode of delivering the selected media inputs to the users based at least on the capabilities of the users' devices and on the resource capabilities of the set of networks to which the users are communicatively coupled. | 06-16-2011 |
20140187189 | METHOD OF AND SYSTEM FOR AUTHENTICATING AND OPERATING PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES OVER PUBLIC SAFETY NETWORKS - A public safety (PS) person having a PS communications device is able to authenticate and authorize operation of a non-PS, personal communications device over a PS network. The PS device issues a challenge, and the personal device responds to the challenge, when the devices are in close proximity. A conditional token having specified conditions is sent to the personal device, which captures information at an incident scene. The personal device attaches the conditional token to the captured information, and uploads the captured information with the attached token to the PS device to permit distribution of the captured information in accordance with the specified conditions of the attached conditional token. | 07-03-2014 |
20150024738 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A WIRELESS RECEIVER - A wireless receiver, and a method of controlling a wireless receiver. The wireless receiver comprises first and second antennas. The method comprises: receiving a first signal of a first network using both a first antenna and a second antenna and determining that a quality of the first signal is greater than a first threshold quality. In response to determining that the quality of the first signal is greater than the first threshold quality, the second antenna is used for scanning for a second signal of a second network while receiving the signal of the first network using the first antenna. The wireless receiver is configured to switch to the second network if a quality of the second signal is greater than a second threshold quality. | 01-22-2015 |
