Multi-functional remote monitoring system
First Claim
1. A multi-functional remote monitoring system for use in a mobile surveillance system used by law enforcement personnel, the remote monitoring system comprising:
- at least one wireless hand-held, mobile remote monitoring transmitter having a processor, an on-board memory, and at least one input device for capturing input data and sized for being worn by a law enforcement officer on the officer'"'"'s person or clothing,said at least one wireless hand-held mobile remote monitoring transmitter configured with at least one biometric sensor for detecting a condition of a user and further configured for sending an emergency signal based on the condition of the user,said emergency signal including information indicative of the user; and
at least one hub transceiver in bi-directional communication with said at least one remote monitoring transmitter, said hub transceiver having a processor and a memory and being associated with a law enforcement vehicle,said system being configured to transmit at least a portion of the captured input data to the hub transceiver when a remote monitoring transmitter of the at least one remote monitoring transmitter is within a transmit range of the hub transceiver for storage on the hub transceiver'"'"'s memory,said system being configured to store at least a portion of the captured input data on the on-board memory of the remote monitoring transmitter when the remote monitoring transmitter is not within said transmit range of the hub transceiver, wherein the hub transceiver is configured to transmit at least one control signal to the remote monitoring transmitter when the remote monitoring transmitter is within said transmit range of the hub transceiver, andsaid system being configured to determine that the hub transceiver is not within range but an additional node is within the transmit range, determining that said additional node is an additional remote monitoring transmitter of another law-enforcement officer, and transmit at least a portion of the captured input data to the additional remote monitoring transmitter for automatic forwarding to the hub transceiver when the remote monitoring transmitter is not within said transmit range of the hub transceiver and is within said transmit range of the additional remote monitoring transmitter.

Abstract
A multi-functional remote monitoring system for use in a mobile surveillance system comprising a host controller, at least one hub transceiver, and at least one remote monitoring transmitter (“RMT”) operable to capture and transmit data, wherein the hub transceiver is operable to communicate to and receive data from the at least one RMT. The hub transceiver and the RMT are adapted for bi-directional transmission and receipt of data, including audio and data signals. The host controller is operable to control the hub transceiver and facilitate communication of the audio and data signals between the RMTs and the hub transceiver.

19. A multi-functional remote monitoring system for use in a mobile surveillance system used by law enforcement personnel, the remote monitoring system comprising:
-
at least one wireless mobile remote monitoring transmitter having a processor, an on-board memory, and at least one input device for capturing input data and sized for being worn by a law enforcement officer on the officer'"'"'s person or clothing, wherein the at least one wireless mobile remote monitoring transmitter is configured with at least one biometric sensor for detecting a condition of a user and further configured to send an emergency signal based on the condition of the user; at least one hub transceiver in bi-directional communication with said at least one remote monitoring transmitter, said hub transceiver having a processor and a memory and being associated with a law enforcement vehicle; and at least one host controller, distinct from said hub transceiver, in bi-directional communication with at least one of said at least one remote monitoring transmitter and said at least one hub transceiver, said host controller having a processor and a memory, said host controller associated with a law enforcement station, wherein one or both of said at least one remote monitoring transmitter and said at least one hub transceiver is configured to transmit to the at least one host controller a first amount of data, said data including at least video data; wherein said at least one host controller is configured to transmit to at least one of said at least one remote monitoring transmitter and said at least one hub transceiver a second amount data, said second amount of data including at least video data, and wherein the first amount of data transmitted to the at least one host controller is the same as the second amount of data transmitted by the at least one host controller, wherein upon capturing of said input data by the remote monitoring transmitter, said system transmits at least a portion of the captured input data to at least one of the hub transceiver and the host controller when the remote monitoring transmitter is within a transmit range of at least one of the hub transceiver and the host controller for storage on the memory of the respective hub transceiver or host controller, wherein upon capturing of said input data by a remote monitoring transmitter of the at least one remote monitoring transmitter, said system determines that the hub transceiver is not within range but an additional node is within the transmit range, determines that said additional node is an additional remote monitoring transmitter of another law-enforcement officer, and transmits at least a portion of the captured input data to the additional remote monitoring transmitter for automatic forwarding to the hub transceiver when the remote monitoring transmitter is not within said transmit range of the hub transceiver and is within said transmit range of the additional remote monitoring transmitter, wherein upon capturing of said input data by the remote monitoring transmitter, said system stores at least a portion of the captured input data on the on-board memory of the remote monitoring transmitter when the remote monitoring transmitter is not within said transmit range of at least one of the additional remote monitoring transmitter, the hub transceiver, and the host controller. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
