Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods for triggering actions in response to capturing and characterizing image data. Real-time characterization techniques include object and shape recognition analytics to detect specifically designated content in captured image data. Actions are triggered based upon such detection. Global data access and distribution systems and methods are provided, particularly for use by law enforcement agencies and designated alert systems.
Claims33
A method, comprising:
- receiving a wireless communication with a receiver, the communication indicating designated content to search for in image data;
- upon receipt of the communication indicating the designated content, obtaining image data using at least one camera device configured to capture image data;
- using a microprocessor linked to the receiver and the at least one camera device, (a) analyzing the obtained image data for the presence of the designated content and (b) analyzing obtained image data containing the designated content for the presence of at least one designated attribute associated with the designated content;
- and
- triggering an action by the microprocessor if the at least one designated attribute is detected in the obtained image data containing the designated content.

A method, comprising:
- linking a computer server via a communication network to at least one camera device configured to capture image data;
- using the server, (a) analyzing image data captured by the at least one camera device for the presence of designated content and (b) analyzing captured image data containing the designated content for the presence of at least one designated attribute associated with the designated content;
- using the server, uploading for storage the captured image data or components of the captured image data, containing the at least one designated attribute;
- and
- using the server, sending via the communication network a notice relating to the captured image data or to the components of the captured image data,
- wherein the at least one camera device is an edge device, the computer server is not an edge device, and the computer server is remote from the at least one camera device.

A system, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive wireless communications;
- at least one camera device configured to capture image data upon receipt by the receiver of a communication indicating designated content to search for in image data;
- a microprocessor linked to the receiver and the at least one camera device;
- wherein the microprocessor is configured with instructions to (a) analyze image data captured by the at least one camera device for the presence of the designated content and (b) analyze captured image data containing the designated content for the presence of at least one designated attribute associated with the designated content,
- wherein the microprocessor is configured with instructions to trigger an action if the at least one designated attribute is detected in the captured image data containing the designated content.

A system, comprising:
- at least one camera device configured to capture image data;
- a computer server linked to the at least one camera device via a communication network;
- wherein the computer server is configured with instructions to (a) analyze image data captured by the at least one camera device for the presence of designated content and (b) analyze captured image data containing the designated content for the presence of at least one designated attribute associated with the designated content;
- wherein the computer server is configured with instructions to upload for storage the captured image data or components of the captured image data, containing the at least one designated attribute;
- wherein the computer server is configured with instructions to send via the communication network a notice relating to the captured image data or to the components of the captured image data, and
- wherein the at least one camera device is an edge device, the computer server is not an edge device, and the computer server is remote from the at least one camera device.
