Abstract

Systems and methods for cloud-based surveillance are disclosed. At least one mobile Input Capture Device (ICD) and the at least one computing device are communicatively connected to the cloud-based analytics platform. The at least one mobile ICD captures and transmits input data to the cloud-based analytics platform. The cloud-based analytics platform processes and analyzes input data from the at least one mobile ICD; and generates commands and updates to the at least one mobile ICD based on the processing and analyzing of the input data. Authorized users are operable to access to the cloud-based analytics platform via a user interface over the at least one computing device.

Claims (29)

1. A system for cloud-based surveillance, comprising:

at least one mobile input capture device (ICD); and

a cloud-based analytics platform;

wherein the at least one mobile ICD is communicatively connected to the cloud-based analytics platform;

wherein the at least one mobile ICD is configured to capture and transmit input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;

wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to process and analyze input data from the at least one mobile ICD; and generate commands and updates to the at least one mobile ICD based on the processing and analyzing of the input data.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to generate a profile for the target surveillance area.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile ICD is at least one mobile robot, wherein the at least one mobile robot is configured to carry out predetermined surveillance tasks.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one mobile robot comprises a computing component; wherein a customized program application associated with the cloud-based analytics platform is installed on the computing component.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the computing component is operable to filter, sample, prioritize, and encode the captured input data into a secure message; wherein the secure message is transmitted via internet protocol.

6. The system of claim 3 , wherein each of the at least one mobile robot is operable to communicate with neighboring mobile robots within the system for cloud-based surveillance.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one mobile robot further comprises a drive system, a sensing system, and a controller system.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the sensing system comprises a visual module, at least one sensor module, and an intelligence recognition module.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one sensor module is operable for detecting at least one selected from the group consisting of noise, temperature, humidity, air quality, light intensity, motion, and combinations thereof.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the intelligence recognition module comprises facial recognition, identity card recognition, and/or speech recognition.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform is operable to provide data storage.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing and analyzing of the input data is in real time or near real time.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the commands and updates are operable to reconfigure the at least one mobile ICD.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the cloud-based analytics platform comprises an associated user interface for remote access.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein inputs from authorized users via the associated user interface are operable to override the commands and updates.

16. A method for cloud-based surveillance, comprising:

providing a cloud-based surveillance system comprising at least one mobile ICD, and a cloud-based analytics platform; wherein the at least one mobile ICD is communicatively connected to the cloud-based analytics platform;

the at least one mobile ICD capturing and transmitting input data to the cloud-based analytics platform;

the cloud-based analytics platform processing and analyzing the input data from the at least one mobile ICD; and

the cloud-based analytics platform generating commands and updates to the at least one mobile ICD based on the processing and analyzing of the input data.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising the at least one mobile ICD performing local decision-making functions based on the captured input data.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the at least one mobile ICD communicating with neighboring mobile robots within the cloud-based surveillance system.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the at least one mobile ICD executing the commands from the cloud-based analytics platform.

20. The method of claim 15 , further comprising the cloud-based analytics platform reconfiguring the at least one mobile ICD based on the generated updates.
