Abstract

In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a command and control system for emergency response communications that may include utilizing a plurality of mobile devices to capture and transmit voice and video data over a wireless network; establishing wireless connections with a central processing unit via a communication interface; dynamically extracting contextual information from voice communications through a real-time audio processing engine to identify emergency events and determine directional data; analyzing the contextual information via a role-based filtering module to generate filtered communication alerts for designated devices; creating a real-time display with dynamically generated markers via a geospatial situational awareness module; providing open and targeted audio channels through a dual-channel audio subsystem; and ensuring secure transmission of data through an encryption module.

1 . A method, comprising:

establishing, by at least one processor, a plurality of communication channels with a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of responders, each computing device configured to capture and transmit voice data and video data over a communication network;

extracting, by the at least one processor, contextual information indicative of triggering events based on inputs from the plurality of computing devices;

determining, by the at least one processor, directional data based on the inputs from the plurality of computing devices;

classifying, by the at least one processor, the contextual information into predefined end-user responder roles for the plurality of responders and generating role-specific filtered communication alerts targeted to the predefined end-user responder roles;

dynamically adjusting, by the at least one processor, in real-time, a plurality of real-time geospatial mapping tools on a plurality of real-time geospatial displays based on:

the role-specific filtered communication alerts, and

the directional data;

wherein the plurality of real-time geospatial mapping tools comprises a plurality of dynamically generated markers configured to be displayed in at least one of: an augmented reality environment, a virtual environment, or a mixed reality environment;

wherein the plurality of dynamically generated markers is adjusted based on the directional data; and

maintaining, by the at least one processor, a dual-channel audio subsystem that concurrently provides:

a first audio communication channel for open communication between the plurality of responders, and

a second audio communication channel for the role-specific filtered communication alerts to at least one designated responder from the plurality of responders based on a predefined end-user responder role of the at least one designated responder;

wherein the dual-channel audio subsystem concurrently maintains the open communication on the first audio communication channel and the role-specific filtered communication alerts on the second audio communication channel by dynamically adjusting relative audio levels using a volume mixer and routing streams in real time to the first audio communication channel and the second audio communication channel based on the predefined end-user responder role of the at least one designated responder.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of computing devices are location enabled devices configured to utilize one or more location services.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

using one or more location sensors coupled to each computing device to generate real-time geospatial coordinates to update a real-time geospatial display.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing, by the at least one processor, contextual filtering of received voice communications to eliminate redundant messages; and

extracting, by the at least one processor, emergency event information.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, by the at least one processor, filtered communication alerts based on predefined user roles selected from:

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising securely encrypting, by the at least one processor, using AES-256 encryption, the voice data, the video data, and the contextual information transmitted over the communication network.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying, via a user interface, at least one incident report, the plurality of real-time geospatial mapping tools, and any geospatial information.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing, by the at least one processor, at least one wireless connections via at least one of:

at least one 3G cellular networks,

at least one 4G cellular networks, or

at least one 5G cellular networks.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the at least one processor, additional video data and additional contextual information to enhance real-time situational awareness for subsequent events.

11 . A system, comprising:

a non-transient computer memory; storing software instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the software instructions that causes the at least one processor to:
