Abstract
An electronic monitoring and protection system which obtains permission from each of a plurality of users to access security data from one or more monitoring devices. The electronic monitoring and protection system using the security data to determine a threat level posed to a person to be protected, and initiating an action if the threat level exceeds a predetermined threshold.
Claims20
An electronic monitoring and protection system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
- for each user of a plurality of users:
- electronically receive an indication from the user granting permission to one or more servers to access security data including one or more of audio security data and video security data resulting from monitoring of an area by at least one respective monitoring device associated with the user;
- based on the received indication, electronically receive the security data from the at least one respective monitoring device associated with the user;
- and
- electronically receive an indication from the user identifying at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system;
- electronically identify one or more subjects and one or more characteristics of the one or more subjects based on received security data from respective monitoring devices of different users of the plurality of users;
- electronically determine, based on one or more of:
- the received security data received from respective monitoring devices of different users of the plurality of users and new security data from respective monitoring devices of different users, an interaction is occurring or has occurred between the one or more subjects and the at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system;
- and
- electronically initiate an action when a threat level has exceeded a predetermined threshold for the at least one person to be protected by the electronic monitoring and protection system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having computer executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- electronically identify one or more subjects and one or more characteristics of the one or more subjects based on security data received from respective monitoring devices of different users of a plurality of users having electronically granted permission to access the security data;
- electronically determine, based on one or more of:
- the security data received from respective monitoring devices of different users and new security data from respective monitoring devices of different users, an interaction is occurring or has occurred between the one or more subjects and at least one person to be protected by an electronic monitoring and protection system;
- electronically obtain location data describing a geographic location associated with one or more of:
- the one or more subjects and the at least one person to be protected based on the security data received from respective monitoring devices and the new security data received from respective monitoring devices;
- and
- based on a threat level for the at least one person to be protected, electronically dispatch a drone, based on the location data, to the geographic location.
4 more elements
A method in an electronic monitoring and protection system, the method comprising:
- electronically receiving, by at least one processor, an indication from a user granting permission to electronically obtain one or more of audio security data and video security data;
- based on the received indication granting permission, electronically obtaining, by at least one processor, the security data, the security data being usable to identify one or more subjects and one or more characteristics of the one or more subjects;
- based on the received indication granting permission, automatically sending, by at least one processor, a signal including the security data in real time to one or more servers of the electronic monitoring and protection system;
- electronically obtaining, by at least one processor, new security data;
- automatically sending, by at least one processor, a signal including the new security data in real time to one or more servers of the electronic monitoring and protection system;
- electronically receiving, by at least one processor, an indication from the user indicating at least one person to be protected;
- automatically sending to one or more servers of the electronic monitoring and protection system, by at least one processor, a signal including the indication indicating the at least one person to be protected;
- and
- electronically receiving, by at least one processor, based on one or more of:
- the received security data and the new security data, an indication from one or more servers of the electronic monitoring and protection system that an interaction is occurring or has occurred between the one or more subjects and the at least one person to be protected.
