Abstract
A system, device and method for generating common actuatable options that initiate a plurality of actions is provided. Interfaces are identified at the one or more display devices, each of the interfaces comprising a respective actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a respective action, each respective actuatable option having a label. The interfaces are determined to be associated using one or more of: the labels of the respective actuatable options; and the respective actions. In response to determining that the interfaces are associated, a common actuatable option is generated at the one or more display devices, which, when actuated, initiates the respective actions.
Claims13
A device for generating common actuatable options that initiate a plurality of actions associated with responders, the device comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and a controller configured for communication with one or more display devices, using the communication interface, the controller further configured to:
- identify, at the one or more display devices, a first interface comprising a first actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a first action, the first actuatable option having a first label;
- identify, at the one or more display devices, a second interface, different from the first interface, comprising a second actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a second action, the second actuatable option having a second label;
- determine that the first actuatable option and the second actuatable option are associated by:
- comparing the first action and the second action to determine that each of the first action and the second action initiate communication with respective communication devices;
- and
- comparing geographic information associated with the first interface and geographic information associated with the second interface to determine that the first interface is associated with a first event, and that the second interface is associated with the first event or a second event that is within a given distance from the first event;
- and,
- in response to determining that the first actuatable option and the second actuatable option are associated, generate, at the one or more display devices, a common actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates both the first action and the second action, wherein the common actuatable option generated at a third interface different from the first interface and the second interface, or as a stand-alone option outside the first interface and the second interface.
A method for generating common actuatable options that initiate a plurality of actions associated with responders, the method comprising:
- at a device comprising:
- a communication interface;
- and a controller configured for communication with one or more display devices, using the communication interface, identifying, using the controller, at the one or more display devices, a first interface comprising a first actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a first action, the first actuatable option having a first label;
- identifying, using the controller, at the one or more display devices, a second interface, different from the first interface, comprising a second actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a second action, the second actuatable option having a second label;
- determining, using the controller, that the first actuatable option and the second actuatable option are associated by:
- comparing the first action and the second action to determine that each of the first action and the second action initiate communication with respective communication devices;
- and
- comparing geographic information associated with the first interface and geographic information associated with the second interface to determine that the first interface is associated with a first event, and that the second interface is associated with the first event or a second event that is within a given distance from the first event;
- and,
- in response to determining that the first actuatable option and the second actuatable option are associated, generating, using the controller at the one or more display devices, a common actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates both the first action and the second action, wherein the common actuatable option generated at a third interface different from the first interface and the second interface, or as a stand-alone option outside the first interface and the second interface.
A communication device for generating common actuatable options that initiate a plurality of actions associated with responders, the communication device comprising:
- one or more display devices;
- a controller in communication with the one or more display devices;
- a first interface comprising a first actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a first action, the first actuatable option having a first label;
- and
- a second interface, different from the first interface, comprising a second actuatable option which, when actuated, initiates a second action, the second actuatable option having a second label,
- wherein the controller dynamically generates a common actuatable option on the one or more display devices in response to determining that the first actuatable option and the second actuatable option are associated by:
- comparing the first action and the second action to determine that each of the first second action and the section action initiate communication with respective devices, and
- comparing geographic information associated with the first interface and geographic information associated with the second interface to determine that the first interface is associated with a first event, and that the second interface is associated with the first event or a second event that is within a given distance from the first event;
- and
- wherein the common actuatable option, when actuated, initiates both the first action and the second action, and
- wherein the common actuatable option is generated at a third interface different from the first interface and the second interface, or as a stand-alone option outside the first interface and the second interface.
