Abstract
A method and apparatus for setting geofence boundaries are provided herein. More particularly, geofence boundaries are set on a per-person basis, and based on a type of equipment in proximity to the person for whom the geofence boundary is being set.
Claims15
A method for setting geofence boundaries associated with an incident to which users are responding, the method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, whether each user responding to an incident possesses physical equipment selected from one or more of a gun-draw sensor, a body-worn camera, a wireless microphone, a smart watch, a police radio, a man-down sensor, a gas mask, a radioactivity detector, and a hazardous gas detector;
- setting, by the computing device, unique geofence boundaries centered at the incident to which the users are responding and assigned to each user based on the determined physical equipment in possession of each user such that at least a first user of the responding users is assigned a first unique geofence boundary at a first distance from the incident based on the determined physical equipment in possession of the first user and a second user of the responding users is assigned a second unique geofence boundary at a second distance from the incident different from the first distance based on the determined physical equipment in possession of the second user.
An apparatus for setting a geofence boundary associated with an incident to which users are responding, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver having an input comprising physical equipment in possession of each user, the physical equipment selected from one or more of a gun-draw sensor, a body-worn camera, a wireless microphone, a smart watch, a police radio, a man-down sensor, a gas mask, a radioactivity detector, and a hazardous gas detector;
- and
- logic circuitry configured to set unique geofence boundaries centered at the incident to which the users are responding and assigned to each user based on the received physical equipment in possession of each user such that at least a first user of the responding users is assigned a first unique geofence boundary at a first distance from the incident based on the determined physical equipment in possession of the first user and a second user of the responding users is assigned a second unique geofence boundary at a second distance from the incident different from the first distance based on the determined physical equipment in possession of the second user.
