Apparatus and methods for distributing and displaying emergency communications
Methods and systems are disclosed for event management, allowing authorized users or authorities to distribute and display communications on digital displays. In one aspect, an event management communications system receives event data sent from a detection system comprised of a network of sensors. The event management communications system processes the event data to determine an event perimeter, and then selects one or more digital displays based upon the event data or the determined event perimeter. Next, the event management communications system authors one or more contextual communications corresponding to the one or more digital displays and sends said one or more authored communications to said one or more digital displays, thereby allowing the one or more digital displays to display the corresponding one or more communications to a relevant, identified audience.
1. An event management communications computing device system configured to provide communications via digital interfaces, wherein the system is caused to:
author one or more communications corresponding to the one or more digital interfaces; and
send the one or more communications to the one or more corresponding digital interfaces via a communications network;
a processor and a memory configured to:
receive event data sent by a detection system comprising a plurality of networked sensors, alert feeds and data sources connected to the communications network;
process the event data to determine an event perimeter, and in real time, adjust the event perimeter according to a pre-configured criteria;
based on the adjusted event perimeter, select one or more of the digital interfaces connected to the communications network within the adjusted event perimeter and based upon the event data; and
wherein the digital interfaces further comprise metadata, which in turn comprise location data, venue type, interface format, interface size, geo-spatial data, time of day, and time of year.
