20230215251 · 2023-07-06 ·

A peer-to-peer system for providing egress guidance. Each of a plurality of egress advisement devices can receive an indication of an emergency in a building and user presence information, transmit to a cloud data store a request for one or more egress plans, receive from the cloud data store a subset of the egress plans that are identified by matching a location identifier for each of the subset of the plans with the location information of the egress advisement device, locally select one of the subset of the plans that is customized for a location of the egress advisement device, a current location of users in the building in proximity to the egress advisement device, and a location of the emergency, and output the selected plan to guide one or more of the users in proximity to the egress advisement device to exit the building.

Automatic emergency door unlock system

In some implementations, systems and techniques are described to automatically unlock a front door of a property in response to detecting an alarm signal indicating an emergency at or near a property. Data indicating occurrence of an emergency condition at a property is initially obtained. A lock configuration for an electronic lock of the property is determined. An unlock instruction is generated for the electronic lock based on the determined lock configuration for the electronic lock. The unlock instruction is transmitted to the electronic lock such that, when the unlock instruction is received by the electronic lock, the electronic lock is unlocked according to the unlock instruction.

COGNITIVE FIREFIGHTING ASSISTANCE

A processor may receive data regarding an emergency event. The processor may identify, using an artificial intelligence model, one or more features regarding the emergency event. The processor may determine that the one or more features are associated with one or more emergency response tasks. The processor may generate an action plan that incorporates the one or more emergency response tasks. The processor may output the action plan to a user.

11532224 · 2022-12-20 · ·

Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods are described for enhanced situational awareness of parties associated with responding to an incident, such as an emergency situation, by assigning response resources to a scene of the incident. The disclosed system provides an electronic platform for collaboration or partnership involving two or more parties. In some partnership embodiments, the disclosed system provides a ranked list of potentially available resources that can be assigned to respond to the incident. For example, the potential candidates can be mobile emergency units belonging to a first responder and/or its partner(s). Various beneficial aspects of partnerships and their technical implementations are discussed in detailed herein.

INTEGRATED SECURITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

An integrated security management system is provided. The system includes an application server and a plurality of sensors deployed in a geographical area. The application server receives first sensor data from the plurality of sensors and provide to a trained classification model as input and detects a security alert based on output thereof. The application server determines a patrol route that encompasses a location of security alert and transmits a surveillance request to electronic device of a security operator to patrol the patrol route and identifies one or more sensors that covers the location of the security alert and receives second sensor data therefrom based on location of the electronic device being same as location of the security alert. The application server further re-trains the classification model based on the second sensor data when feedback received from the electronic device indicates the security alert to be a false positive.

DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ENVIRONMENTAL DEVICES AT A SMART BUILDING TO ASSIST A FIRST RESPONDER

A device, system and method for controlling environmental devices at a smart building to assist a first responder is provided. A public-safety computing device determiners a context of a first responder at a smart building. The public-safety computing device is in communication with a smart-building control device. The context comprises one or more of: an objective to be achieved by the first responder in the smart building; and an object-of-interest in the smart building for which evidence is to be collected. The public-safety computing device communicates with the smart-building control device, to control environmental devices at the smart building to assist the first responder with respect to the context.

Methods and apparatus for contingency communications
11501632 · 2022-11-15 · ·

Methods and systems for contingency communication are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for providing emergency services may be performed by a base station operating in a communication system in an embodiment, the method for providing emergency services includes transmitting a beacon signal to indicate an emergency status to enable portable devices to operate in a stress mode. A distress signal may be transmitted by a mobile device in response to the beacon signal to the base station, wherein the distress signal carries information at least comprising user identity associated with the mobile device, geolocation of the mobile device, or biometrics of a user of the mobile device.

Integrative security system and method
11501628 · 2022-11-15 · ·

A method for monitoring and securing a facility without employing a manned control center, according to which a server acquires surveillance data from each of a plurality of distributed surveillance devices deployed within or adjacent to a given security sensitive facility. Then the server receives an intrusion alert from a guard, or from one or more of the plurality of surveillance devices to initiate a triggering event, if the acquired surveillance data is indicative of activity that has been detected at an indicated location. A first guard is alerted and presented with a full situational awareness image to assess the severity of the detected activity and the triggering event is terminated if found by the first guard to be of a low severity, or an interception operation initiated by self-dispatching or dispatching one or more additional guards to a close by location that holds tactical advantage relative to the indicated location if the triggering event was found by the first guard to be of a high severity.

System and method for responding to an active shooter

An automated alert system, device and method designed to deliver crisis notifications within seconds to law enforcement personnel. The alert system and method is designed to enhance the response time to an active shooter scenario, thereby minimizing the number of causalities or victims associated with such dangerous scenarios. The system and method uses combination of various hardware components, cellular automation and partnership with first responders to provide an advanced alert system which ensures quick responses.

Predictive building emergency guidance and advisement system
11501621 · 2022-11-15 · ·

The disclosed technology uses signaling devices and sensors that are distributed throughout a building in order to provide egress guidance to people located in a building when an emergency occurs. Such signaling devices can be located at or near doors, windows, and/or other junction points between different parts of a building (e.g., passageways between different rooms). Signaling devices can provide audio and/or visual information to people to guide them along a safe pathway that is selected to provide safe egress for the person, including anticipating and protecting the person from changing emergency conditions within the building.
