The present invention relates to apparatuses, systems, computer readable media, and methods for providing services concerning control of a portable camera in response to activity involving a firearm.
Personal video recorders as used by security and law enforcement personnel, hereafter referred to as body cameras, face many challenges in practical use. Easily portable sources of power, such as batteries, are limited in capacity and adversely impact the duration of body-camera operation. Storage media are limited in capacity and constrain the amount of video information that may be recorded. When the cameras do operate and can store their video data, it can be challenging to identify the portion of video information relevant to a specific event or incident.
Serious incidents for security and law enforcement personnel often involve use or anticipated use of a firearm.
Systems involving linking firearms and video recording have been contemplated—for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 9,140,509 to Sullivan et al., a gun-mounted “electronic evidence-collecting device”—e.g., a camera—is activated by the removal of the gun from its holster. Specifically, a light sensor mounted on the gun is covered when the gun is holstered, and when the gun is removed from its holster, the light sensor receives light and initiates the collection of gun-related data from sensors on the gun, and the sensed, gun-related data is forwarded to a portable device (e.g., a smartphone), which may then automatically call the user's partner and/or the central station to request assistance and backup. However, Sullivan's system has drawbacks—for example, it only contemplates activating data recording in response to unholstering as measured by a light sensor, and the only types of sensors it discloses are a holster sensor, a video camera, a microphone, a direction finder, a clock, and a GPS component. Additionally, Sullivan's system does not contemplate data sensing and recording devices that are not mounted on a handgun, or enabling real-time, granular event and location-based remote monitoring by integrating with a distributed system. The Sullivan system further does not contemplate metadata, or associating metadata with recorded video, as included in certain embodiments of the invention described below.
There is a need for devices and systems that facilitate reducing unnecessary power consumption (e.g., turning off or powering down the camera when needed), and reducing the amount of irrelevant or unnecessary video data to be stored and analyzed, as well as services that enable granular, real-time monitoring of firearm-related activity by a local team as well as by a remote command center. When video is generated, there is a need for facilitating review and analysis of recorded video from cameras that may concern firearm-related activity. Disclosed herein are embodiments of an invention that address those needs.
The aspects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Disclosed herein are devices/apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for implementing and using an improved service for controlling a camera. Embodiments of the present invention provide a firearm equipped with certain specialized electronic circuitry, hereafter referred to as a telematics sensor or sensor. In certain embodiments, the telematics sensor detects when a firearm is in motion, is being discharged (fired), and, in the case of handguns, the firearm's position within its holster.
As used herein, a “firearm” refers to a ranged weapon, including a handgun, rifle, Taser®, Conducted Electrical Weapon (CEW), or additional types of weapons capable of firing a bullet. Certain embodiments of the disclosure may be specifically adapted for one or more of handguns, rifles, or Tasers.
As used herein, a “camera” refers to a device comprising electrical and optical components for recording still images, video, and/or audio by imaging light from the visual spectrum, infrared spectrum, and/or other spectra. A “body camera” refers to a camera that is worn by a user.
As used herein, a “telematics sensor” refers to a device for detecting and/or recording information derived from the environment of the device, and where the device has two-way wireless communications capability.
In certain embodiments, the telematics sensor is equipped with a wireless transceiver. In some embodiments, the transceiver communicates directly with a body camera; in others it communicates indirectly, via an intermediary device, or devices, and one or more network topologies. One embodiment includes the telematics sensor communicating with a smartphone, which relays the sensor's messages via wide-area or personal-area networks, which in turn connect with and relay the sensor's messages to the body camera.
In certain embodiments, unholstering of a firearm (as detected by a telematics sensor) initiates recording of video by a body camera. That is, when the firearm is unholstered, the sensor detects the event and signals the body camera (either directly or indirectly) to power up (or wake from standby) and begin recording video information. The recording may be saved locally and/or may be transmitted to a remote facility where it is stored.
In some embodiments, the body camera is able to record additional, non-video metadata as part of its functionality. The telematics sensor and/or associated software may discover and detect when a camera possesses such capabilities. Upon detection, the telematics sensor may provide additional metadata and other data to the body camera for storage with its video recording. Examples of such data may include: time, date, event identifiers, location coordinates, altitude, temperature, ammunition discharged, ammunition remaining, ammunition reloads, firearm orientation, firearm movement, firearm translation, firearm bearing, recorded audio in front of and around the firearm, and recorded video in front of and around the firearm.
Device 400 may include one or more sensors 404—e.g., a temperature sensor for monitoring thermal load or ambient temperature, an accelerometer, a magnetometer, a gyroscope, a metal sensor (e.g., pulse induction sensor components), optical/light sensor, microphone, etc. Communication module 406 may include a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, cellular radio, Bluetooth radio, ZigBee radio, Near Field Communication (NFC) radio, wireless local area network (WLAN) radio, GPS receiver, and antennas used by each for communicating data over various networks. Storage 408 may include one or more types of computer readable medium, such as RAM, optical storage devices, or flash memory, and may store an operating system, applications, and communication procedures. The power system/battery 410 may include a power management system, one or more power sources such as a battery and recharging system, AC, DC, a power status indicator, and the like.
In certain embodiments, beacon(s) 702 may be proximity beacons, such as devices using the Google Eddystone™, iBeacon™, FlyBell™, and/or BLE protocols for monitoring and ranging proximity of components of the system (e.g. holster telematics sensor(s) 102, firearm telematics sensor(s) 202, camera(s) 302, and/or mobile device 704) with respect to one or more beacons 702. In certain embodiments, one or more beacons 702 may be positioned at a fixed location or a moving location such as a vehicle.
In certain embodiments, mobile device 704 may be a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a radio, such as a police radio, and web client 706 may be executed at a command and control center (e.g., for police, military, or security professionals). All components of the system 700 are directly or indirectly connected using a combination of communication protocols represented by network 701. Network 701 may include a LAN, wired or wireless network, private or public network, or the internet, including wireless communication protocols such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), 3G, 4G, Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocols, and communication standards such as Project 25 (P25), Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), and satellite and/or field radio protocols.
In certain embodiments, one or more computing devices 708 hosts a server 710, such as an HTTP server, and an application 714 that implements aspects of the remote monitoring system (e.g., a situational intelligence platform). For example, status-related files and/or user account information may be stored in data store 716. Application 714 may support an Application Programming Interface (API) 712 providing external access to methods for accessing data store 716. In certain embodiments, client applications running on client devices 102, 202, 302, 702, 704, and 706 may access API 712 via server 710 using protocols such as HTTP or FTP.
In certain embodiments, the system may distribute an updated rule set in real time to one or more local systems (where a local system is one or more of the following devices that may be associated with a single user: holster telematics sensors 102, firearm sensors 202, cameras 302, and mobile device 702). The updated rule set may change the configuration of behavior in response to the identification of one or more types of events, or may change how an event is identified. In certain embodiments, an updated rule set may include an instruction to change the status of the camera upon receiving the updated rule set. In certain embodiments, distribution of the updated rule set may be triggered by an instruction from a remote command center (e.g., by way of web client 706 and/or server 710). For example, if a team of users is entering a dangerous area, a user at a remote command center may cause the system to distribute an updated rule set to all users of the team instructing each local system to immediately turn on all cameras 302 and ensure that if a weapon discharge is identified at any single local system of the team, a notification is provided to all other members of the team and to the remote command center.
In some embodiments, selecting a particular firearm 804 in user interface 800 may display user interface 820, shown in
In some embodiments, selecting a particular camera 805 in user interface 800 may display user interface 860, shown in
Map panel 920 marks the location of the components associated with the users on the map using location markers 924. The map may be stylized as shown, or may constitute a satellite photograph. A user may adjust the scale of the map using controls 926. Additional information associated with the components at each location 924 is displayed in an overlay window 922. For example, the overlay window 922 provides information about (1) the user associated with the component(s) at the location; (2) the time stamp associated with the information; (3) the coordinates of the location; (4) the accuracy/error estimate for the location; (5) information about the network type, strength, and operator; (6) hub device battery status. In certain embodiments, additional information about camera status could be provided as well.
Additional examples regarding step 1102 may be, for example, using geofencing techniques and a beacon 702 located at a user's vehicle. When one or more of holster telematics sensors 102, firearm sensors 202, or mobile device 704 is no longer within range of the beacon 702 at the vehicle, or moves beyond a certain distance (e.g., 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 feet) from the beacon 702, the system may identify that the user has exited the vehicle (e.g., with a firearm). In another example, a holster telematics sensor 102 may detect the event of a user unholstering the firearm. In another example, a telematics sensor or mobile device 704 may detect the proximity of another user, causing the system to identify the event of approaching a second user of the system. In another example, dispatch or another member of the unit that the user is a member of, perhaps aware of a dangerous situation or that another user has unholstered her weapon, may cause the event of a notification having been received by the system by transmitting such a notification via a mobile device 704 or web client 706. In certain embodiments, the system may be configured to automatically provide a notification to all members of a group upon detecting an event concerning another member of the group.
In step 1104, the system may instruct one or more cameras 302 to change status in response to the event. For example, the instruction may be to turn on the camera, wake the camera, activate recording of video at the camera, mark existing video to be retained, and/or mark new video to be retained. In certain embodiments, the camera is constantly or usually recording (e.g., the camera may always be in a recording state when the user is in an on-duty status), and the old video may be periodically overwritten by newly recorded video. In such an embodiment, identification of an event (step 1102) may cause the existing video recording to be marked to be retained (e.g., prevent it from being overwritten by new video). In certain embodiments, a set buffer of recorded video is maintained by the camera 302, and identification of an event will cause the camera to save the existing buffer as well as video recorded after identification of the event. In certain embodiments, the buffer is 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, or 500 seconds. In certain embodiments, the buffer is 5, 10, or 15 minutes. In certain embodiments, the video may be saved by the camera, and in certain embodiments, the video may be streamed or transmitted to mobile device 704 or server 710. In certain embodiments, an instruction to change the status of a camera 302 may be received from mobile device 704 or computing device 708. Such a request may also be initiated by web client 706.
In step 1106, a component of the local system (e.g., holster telematics sensors 102, firearm sensors 202, cameras 302, or mobile device 704) may notify server 710 with the updated status for the camera(s). By this step, the system enables real time, remote monitoring of events and recording of events by the camera(s). In the absence of an available connection with remote devices (e.g., computing device 708, server 710), other local users, e.g., within a unit in the same geographical area, may share updated status across the unit using personal area networks and/or local area networks. In certain embodiments, the notification may constitute or include an alert message to communicate a dangerous situation to dispatch and/or unit members. An alert may be a prominent notification displayed on, for example, a mobile device 704 or web client 706.
In step 1108, a component of the local system (e.g., holster telematics sensors 102, firearm sensors 202, cameras 302, or mobile device 704) may record various metadata for association with the event and recorded video concerning the event. In certain embodiments, metadata are constantly recorded, and in step 1108 they are associated with the event and video. In certain embodiments, one or more types of metadata commence being recorded upon identification of the event in step 1102. In certain embodiments, each category of metadata may be saved as a separate track—for example, each category of metadata may be separately associated with the video recording. In one example, for each metadata measurement, the information is associated with a start time and an end time (or a single time point) that corresponds to the time parameter for the video recorded by each camera 302. In certain embodiments, the system may provide a user interface for selecting which categories of metadata should be displayed with the video recording (e.g., using the same mechanism used for displaying subtitles). In certain embodiments, the system may provide a user interface for rendering a video file that is “watermarked” with selected categories of metadata.
Categories of metadata may include, for example, a time stamp, the category of event, the current date, coordinates for the location of one or more components of the local system, altitude, temperature, firearm orientation, firearm movement, firearm translation, and firearm bearing (e.g., N30° E). Metadata may further include the ammunition type (e.g., 0.380 ACP, 0.45 ACP), and/or the remaining ammunition (e.g., 10 of 15 rounds).
The consequence of identifying an event (e.g., the rules concerning each event, and the particulars of process 1100 and, e.g., steps 1104 and 1106) may be configured, e.g. through a user interface accessed via link 810 in user interface 800, and such configurations may be retained in data store 716 and/or mobile device 704.
RF module 1206 may include a cellular radio, Bluetooth radio, NFC radio, WLAN radio, GPS receiver, and antennas used by each for communicating data over various networks.
Audio processor 1208 may be coupled to a speaker 1210 and microphone 1212. Touch sensitive display 1216 receives touch-based input. Other input modules or devices 1218 may include, for example, a stylus, voice recognition via microphone 1212, or an external keyboard.
Accelerometer 1220 may be capable of detecting changes in orientation of the device, or movements due to the gait of a user. Optical sensor 1222 may sense ambient light conditions, and acquire still images and video.
System 1300 includes a bus 1306 or other communication mechanism for communicating information, and a processor 1304 coupled with the bus 1306 for processing information. Computer system 1300 also includes a main memory 1302, such as a random access memory or other dynamic storage device, coupled to the bus 1306 for storing information and instructions to be executed by processor 1304. Main memory 1302 also may be used for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by processor 1304.
System 1300 includes a read only memory 1308 or other static storage device coupled to the bus 1306 for storing static information and instructions for the processor 1304. A storage device 1310, which may be one or more of a hard disk, flash memory-based storage medium, magnetic tape or other magnetic storage medium, a compact disc (CD)-ROM, a digital versatile disk (DVD)-ROM, or other optical storage medium, or any other storage medium from which processor 1304 can read, is provided and coupled to the bus 1306 for storing information and instructions (e.g., operating systems, applications programs and the like).
Computer system 1300 may be coupled via the bus 1306 to a display 1312 for displaying information to a computer user. An input device such as keyboard 1314, mouse 1316, or other input devices 1318 may be coupled to the bus 1306 for communicating information and command selections to the processor 1304.
The processes referred to herein may be implemented by processor 1304 executing appropriate sequences of computer-readable instructions contained in main memory 1304. Such instructions may be read into main memory 1304 from another computer-readable medium, such as storage device 1310, and execution of the sequences of instructions contained in the main memory 1304 causes the processor 1304 to perform the associated actions. In alternative embodiments, hard-wired circuitry or firmware-controlled processing units (e.g., field programmable gate arrays) may be used in place of or in combination with processor 1304 and its associated computer software instructions to implement the invention. The computer-readable instructions may be rendered in any computer language including, without limitation, Objective C, C#, C/C++, Java, assembly language, markup languages (e.g., HTML, XML), and the like. In general, all of the aforementioned terms are meant to encompass any series of logical steps performed in a sequence to accomplish a given purpose, which is the hallmark of any computer-executable application. Unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be appreciated that throughout the description of the present invention, use of terms such as “processing”, “computing”, “calculating”, “determining”, “displaying”, “receiving”, “transmitting” or the like, refer to the action and processes of an appropriately programmed computer system, such as computer system 1300 or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within its registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within its memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
