Abstract
A primary subsystem captures original information and supplemental information to form a revision. A primary subsystem enables revisions to be made at the location of the incident prior to leaving the location. Systems for collecting and managing information about incidents include primary and secondary subsystems. A category is a descriptor or label that identifies a common aspect among members assigned to the category. Categories may determine how information is stored, communicated, and/or accessed on primary and/or secondary subsystems.
Claims20
A primary subsystem configured to be worn by an officer at an incident, the primary subsystem comprising:
- a video camera configured to be oriented by the officer for recording the incident in a field of view of the officer;
- a user interface including a display and user-operated controls;
- a wired and/or wireless interface;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising a buffer, the memory further storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- prior to first operation of a first control of the controls of the user interface of the primary subsystem, recording first video information from the video camera into the buffer for a period of time before overwriting the first video information previously recorded in the buffer;
- upon the first operation of the first control:
- capturing second video information about the incident from the video camera;
- and
- storing, in the memory of the primary subsystem, incident information comprising the first video information and the second video information;
- presenting categories for classifying the incident information;
- receiving, via a second control of the controls of the user interface of the primary subsystem, a selection of a category of the categories;
- storing indicia of the category in the memory of the primary subsystem in association with the incident information, wherein the selection causes the indicia of the category to be stored in the memory of the primary subsystem;
- and
- after storing the indicia of the category in the memory of the primary subsystem in association with the incident information, transferring, via the wired and/or wireless interface of the primary subsystem, the incident information and the indicia of the category from the primary subsystem.

A system for collecting and managing information about incidents, the system comprising:
- a handset worn by a user, the handset comprising:
- an oriented microphone;
- an oriented camera;
- a user interface including a display and user-operated controls;
- a first wired interface;
- a first processor;
- and
- a first memory comprising a buffer and further storing instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform first operations comprising:
- prior to first operation of a first control of the controls, recording first video information about an incident from the oriented camera into the buffer for a first period of time before overwriting the first video information previously recorded in the buffer;
- upon the first operation of the first control:
- capturing second video information about the incident from the oriented camera;
- capturing audio information about the incident from the oriented microphone;
- and
- storing, in the first memory, incident information comprising the first video information, the second video information, and the audio information;
- presenting categories for classifying the incident information;
- receiving, via a second control of the controls, a selection of a category of the categories;
- storing indicia of the category in the first memory in association with the incident information, wherein the selection causes the indicia of the category to be stored in the first memory;
- and
- after storing the indicia of the category in the incident information in the first memory, transferring, via the first wired interface, the incident information and the indicia of the category from the handset;
- and
- a secondary subsystem comprising:
- a second wired interface;
- a second processor;
- and
- a second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform second operations, comprising:
- receiving, via the second wired interface, the incident information and the indicia of the category from the handset;
- storing the incident information in the second memory;
- and
- providing access to the incident information from the second memory, wherein the access is determined in accordance with the indicia of the category.
