Abstract

A method and system for information management for an incident response. The method comprises the following steps: A first communication allocating a responder to a specific assignment relating to the incident is received at a computing device from a command device. A second communication identifying assignment information that corresponds to the specific assignment is transmitted from the computing device to a graphic display device associated with the responder. Real-time sensor data is received at the computing device from one or more sensors. A third communication indicating progress in the specific assignment based at least in part on the real-time sensor data is transmitted from the computing device to one or more of the command device and the graphic display device.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method of information management for an incident response, comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a first communication allocating a group of responders to a specific work assignment relating to the incident;
receiving, at the computing device, workflow information associated with the specific work assignment;
causing, by the computing device, a graphic display device associated with one of the responders in the group of responders and a commander associated with the incident response, to indicate assignment information that corresponds to the specific work assignment;
receiving, at the computing device from one or more sensors, real-time sensor data associated with the specific work assignment; and
causing, by the computing device, the graphic display device to indicate a progress made in the specific work assignment based at least in part on the real-time sensor data and the workflow information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the assignment information includes at least one of the following:
one or more locations associated with the incident;
one or more objects associated with the incident;
one or more people associated with the incident; and
one or more other responder devices allocated to the incident.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: generating the workflow based on incident scene data.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time sensor data includes one or more of the following:
a location of the responder in the group;
a motion of the responder in the group;
an orientation of the responder in the group;
video of a view seen by the responder in the group; and
audio at the responder in the group.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying, via the computing device based on the real-time sensor data, one or more objects, people or locations associated with the specific work assignment.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
transmitting, from the computing device to the graphic display device, a further communication identifying the one or more objects or people associated with the specific work assignment.

7. A system for managing information for an incident response, the system comprising:
a graphic display;
and
a computing device in communication with the graphic display and one or more sensors and associated with one of a responder in a group of responders and a commander associated with the incident response, the computing device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing computer program code components executable by the processor to perform a set of functions including:
receive, at the computing device, a first communication allocating the group of responders to a specific work assignment relating to the incident;
receive, at the computing device, workflow information associated with the specific work assignment;
receive, from one or more sensors, real-time sensor data associated with the specific work assignment; and
cause the graphic display to display the assignment information and an indication of progress made in the specific work assignment based at least in part on the real-time sensor data and the workflow information.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the assignment information includes at least one of the following:
one or more locations associated with the incident;
one or more objects associated with the incident;
one or more people associated with the incident; and
one or more other responder devices allocated to the incident.

9. The system of claim 7 , further comprising the one or more sensors, and wherein the one or more sensors include a camera and the set of functions further include:
detect an object of interest associated with the specific work assignment in at least one video frame of a video stream from the camera.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the object of interest is one of the following within the view of a responder in the group:
an asset;
a vehicle;
a person of interest; and
another responder.

11. The system of claim 9 , the set of functions further comprising:
displaying instructions for interacting with the object of interest on the graphic display.

12. The system of claim 9 , the set of functions further comprising:
highlighting the object of interest on the graphic display.

13. The system of claim 9 , the set of functions further comprising:
determining first metadata to identify the object of interest; and
displaying the first metadata on the graphic display.
