Abstract

A system and a computer-implemented method for providing responder information are disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, via a computing device, a sensor data generated by one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders. The computer-implemented method further includes analyzing, via the computing device, the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data. The computer-implemented method further includes establishing, via an application programming interface (API), a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one server or establishing, via a local application, a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one third party server. The computer-implemented method further includes transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server or transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one third party server.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for providing responder information, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, via a computing device, a sensor data generated by one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders;
analyzing, via the computing device, the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data;
establishing, via an application programming interface (API), a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one server;
transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server;
transmitting, via the at least one server, the analyzed sensor data to at least one third party server of a third party system;
determining, via the at least one third party server, a responder information based on the analyzed sensor data;
transmitting, via the at least one third party server, the determined responder information to one or more display devices of the third party system; and
displaying, via the one or more display devices, the determined responder information.

2. A computer-implemented method for providing responder information, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, via a computing device, a sensor data generated by one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders;
analyzing, via the computing device, the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data;
establishing, via an application programming interface (API), a direct communication link between the computing device and at least one server;
transmitting, via the computing device, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server;
receiving, via the at least one server, an information request signal from at least one third party server of a third party system;
transmitting, via the at least one server, the analyzed sensor data to the at least one third party server upon receiving the information request signal from the at least one third party server of the third party system;
determining, via the at least one third party server, a responder information based on the analyzed sensor data;
transmitting, via the at least one third party server, the determined responder information to one or more display devices of the third party system; and
displaying, via the one or more display devices, the determined responder information.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising charging, via the at least one server, responder information fees based on at least one of a number of information request signals in a predetermined period of time, a number of the one or more safety devices in the information request signal, types of the one or more safety devices in the information request signal, a total number of the one or more display devices of the third party system, an amount of the analyzed sensor data transmitted to the at least one third party server in a predetermined period of time, and an access fee for accessing the analyzed sensor data.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising generating, via the computing device, an alert when a value of the sensor data crosses a corresponding threshold.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting, via the computing device, the alert to the at least one server.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
transmitting, via the at least one server, the alert to the at least one third party server of the third party system; and
transmitting, via the third party server, the alert to the one or more display devices; and
displaying, via the one or more display devices, the alert upon receiving the alert from the at least one third party server.

7. The method of claim 1 or 2 , wherein each of the one or more safety devices comprises at least one of an article of PPE and an emergency response tool.

8. The method of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the sensor data generated by the one or more safety devices is indicative of at least one of environmental conditions of the corresponding one or more responders, physiological conditions of the corresponding one or more responders, location data of the corresponding one or more responders, and one or more parameters of the one or more safety devices.

9. A system for providing responder information comprising:
one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders, wherein the one or more safety devices are configured to generate a sensor data;
a computing device communicably coupled to the one or more safety devices via a communication channel,
at least one server; and
an application programming interface (API) for establishing a direct communication link between the computing device and the at least one server;
wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive the sensor data generated by the one or more safety devices via the communication channel;
analyze the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data; and
transmit the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server,

the system further comprising a third party system, the third party system comprising:
at least one third party server communicably coupled to the at least one server, wherein the at least one server is configured to transmit the analyzed sensor data to the at least one third party server;
one or more display devices communicably coupled to the at least one third party server,
wherein the at least one third party server is configured to:
determine a responder information based on the analyzed sensor data; and
transmit the determined responder information to the one or more display devices; and

wherein the one or more display devices are configured to display the determined responder information.

10. A system for providing responder information comprising:
one or more safety devices corresponding to one or more responders, wherein the one or more safety devices are configured to generate a sensor data;
a computing device communicably coupled to the one or more safety devices via a communication channel,
at least one server; and
an application programming interface (API) for establishing a direct communication link between the computing device and the at least one server;
wherein the computing device is configured to:
receive the sensor data generated by the one or more safety devices via the communication channel;
analyze the sensor data to generate an analyzed sensor data; and
transmit the analyzed sensor data to the at least one server,

the system further comprising a third party system, the third party system comprising:
at least one third party server communicably coupled to the at least one server, wherein the at least one third party server is configured to transmit an information request signal to the at least one server, and wherein the at least one server is configured to transmit the analyzed sensor data to the at least one third party server upon receiving the information request signal from the at least one third party server;
