Abstract

A system for commissioning for first responders at a site of an incident is provided. The system includes a data processing device configured to: receive personnel data; generate a unique personnel profile based on the personnel data; communicating the unique personnel profile to a tag creation device for creation of a tag corresponding to the unique personnel profile; receive scanning location information of the tag, and cause display, at a monitoring display, of alert data associated with the scanning location information. The alert data is a result of applying at least one user-defined rule to the scanning locating information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for commissioning for first responders at a site of an incident, the system comprising:
a data processing device configured to:
receive personnel data;
generate a unique personnel profile based on the personnel data;
communicate the unique personnel profile to a tag creation device for creation of a tag corresponding to the unique personnel profile;
receive scanning location information of the tag, the scanning location information being provided at least by the tag; and
cause display, at a monitoring display, of alert data associated with the scanning location information, the alert data being a result of applying at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information, the at least one user-defined rule being based on the unique personnel profile.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the data processing device is further configured to apply the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a data server, the data server configured to apply the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one user-defined rule includes a rule related to permission to enter the site of the incident.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the rule defines a minimum personnel rank for being allowed entrance into the site of the incident.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a data server, the data server configured to:
receive the scanning location information of the tag; and
apply the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the alert data indicates a location of the tag.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the tag is one taken from a group consisting of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and bar code based tag.

9. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of tag scanners, the plurality of tag scanners configured to generate a virtual geo-fence proximate the site of the incident, each of the plurality of tag scanners being associated with respective location data identifying a respective location of the tag scanner;
the data processing device configured to store the location data of each of the plurality of tag scanners; and
the scanning location information of the tag being communicated from one of the plurality of tag scanners.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the unique personnel profile includes a unique personal identifier.

11. A method for commissioning for first responders at a site of an incident, the method comprising:
receiving personnel data;
generating a unique personnel profile based on the personnel data;
communicating the unique personnel profile to a tag creation device for creation of a tag corresponding to the unique personnel profile;
receiving scanning location information of the tag, the scanning location information being provided at least by the tag; and
causing display, at a monitoring display, of alert data associated with the scanning location information, the alert data being a result of applying at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information, the at least one user-defined rule being based on the unique personnel profile.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising applying, at a data processing device, the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising applying, at a data server, the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one user-defined rule includes a rule related to permission to enter the site of the incident.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the rule defines a minimum personnel rank for being allowed entrance into the site of the incident.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, at a data server, the scanning location information of the tag; and
applying, at the data server, the at least one user-defined rule to the scanning location information.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the alert data indicates a location of the tag.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the tag is one taken from a group of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and bar code based tag.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
generating, by a plurality of tag scanners, a virtual geo-fence proximate the site of the incident, each of the plurality of tag scanners being associated with respective location data identifying a respective location of the tag scanner;
storing, at a data processing device, the location data of each of the plurality of tag scanners; and
the scanning location information of the tag being communicated from one of the plurality of tag scanners.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the unique personnel profile includes a unique personal identifier.
