Dispatch-based responder camera activation
First Claim
1. A method performed by a dispatch computing system for activating a responder camera, the dispatch computing system operated by a user, the camera associated with a responder, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication of a location or an event;
determining a geographic area associated with the location or event;
transmitting a dispatch request to the responder, the dispatch request includes dispatch instructions that request the responder to respond to a situation at the location or event;
in response to the dispatch request, receiving a dispatch acknowledgement from the responder that the responder accepts the dispatch instructions, the dispatch acknowledgement further includes information added to the dispatch acknowledgement prior to sending the dispatch acknowledgement indicating that the responder is en route to the geographic area; and
in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement that includes the added information indicating that the responder is en route from the responder, automatically sending a camera activation signal to the responder camera, the activation signal sent by the dispatch computing system without manual activation by the user of the dispatch computing system;
whereinin response to receiving the camera activation signal, the responder camera begins capturing a video without manual activation by the responder of the responder camera.

Abstract
A method of automatic activation of a responder camera to begin capturing a video can be performed by a computing device. The computing device receives an indication of a location or an event. The computing device determines a geographic area associated with the location or event. The computing device receives a dispatch acknowledgement from a responder, where the dispatch acknowledgement indicates that the responder is at the geographic area or that the responder is en route to the geographic area. The computing device automatically sends a camera activation signal to a responder camera associated with the responder in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement from the responder. The responder camera is configured to begin capturing a video in response to receiving the camera activation signal.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions embodied thereon for activating a responder camera, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by a dispatch computing system, cause the dispatch computing system to:
-
receive an indication of a location or an event; determine a geographic area associated with the location or event; transmit a dispatch request the responder, the dispatch request includes dispatch instructions that request the responder to respond to a situation at the location or event; in response to the dispatch request, receive a dispatch acknowledgement from a responder, the dispatch acknowledgement indicating that the responder accepts the dispatch instructions, the dispatch acknowledgement further includes information added to the dispatch acknowledgement prior to sending the dispatch acknowledgement indicating that the responder is en route to the geographic area; and in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement that includes the added information indicating that the responder is en route to the geographic area from the responder, automatically send a camera activation signal to the responder camera, the activation signal sent by the dispatch computing system without manual activation by a user of the dispatch computing system;
whereinin response to receiving the camera activation signal, the responder camera begins capturing a video.

18. A dispatch computing system for activating a responder camera, the dispatch computing system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable medium having instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by the processor, cause the dispatch computing system to; receive an indication of a location or an event; determine a geographic area associated with the location or event; transmit a dispatch request the responder, the dispatch request includes dispatch instructions that request the responder to respond to a situation at the location or event; in response to the dispatch request, receive a dispatch acknowledgement from a responder, the dispatch acknowledgement indicating that the responder accepts the dispatch instructions, the dispatch acknowledgement further includes information added to the dispatch acknowledgement prior to sending the dispatch acknowledgement indicating that the responder is en route to the geographic area; and in response to receiving the dispatch acknowledgement that includes the added information indicating that the responder is en route to the geographic area from the responder, automatically send a camera activation signal to the responder camera, the activation signal sent by the dispatch computing system without manual activation by a user of the dispatch computing system;
whereinin response to receiving the camera activation signal, the responder camera begins capturing a video. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
