Abstract

Response personnel may be dispatched based on nature of the data assets received. A data asset that is captured by a user device is received, the data asset includes capture time and date data. The data asset is reviewed for an event that warrants dispatch of a responder. The responder is dispatched to the location of the event when the capture time and date data indicates the event occurred within a predetermined time of a current time.

Claims

1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

determining a distance between a mobile client that captures video and audio data and a recipient device, the distance corresponding to a quality of a communication connection between the mobile client and a recipient device, the recipient device being a repeater base station in a vehicle that amplifies a data signal from the mobile client for transmission to a network operations center (NOC);

transmitting full-motion video and full-quality audio captured by the mobile client along with metadata generated at the mobile client to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection has yet to reach an initial distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device;

providing one or more timing commands to a camera of the mobile client such that a number of still shots captured by the camera of the mobile client based on the one or more timing commands is inversely proportional to the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device; and

transmitting at least one still shot and the full-quality audio captured by the mobile client and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches the initial distance threshold for the distant between the mobile client and the recipient device.

2. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1, further comprising instructions that when execute, cause the one or more processors to perform additional acts comprising:

transmitting only full-quality audio and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a second distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the initial distance threshold;

transmitting only downgraded audio captured by the mobile client and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a third distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the second distance threshold;

transmitting only the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a fourth distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the third distance threshold; and

terminating the transmitting of the metadata when the distance that corresponds to the quality of the communication connection reaches a fifth distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the fourth distance threshold.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1, further comprising instructions that when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform an act of presenting a playback of the full-motion video that is temporally synchronized with the audio or presenting a playback of a plurality of still shots that are temporally synchronized with the audio.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1, wherein the metadata is inputted by an operator of the mobile client or automatically generated by the mobile client.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer readable media of claim 1, wherein the transmitting the at least one still shot includes transmitting a plurality of still shots that are associated with an event in a group.

6. A mobile device, comprising:

a processor; and

memory storing computer-executable components that are executed by the processor to perform a plurality of actions, the actions comprising;

determining a distance between a mobile client that captures video and audio data and a recipient device, the distance corresponding to a quality of a communication connection between the mobile client and a recipient device, the recipient device being a repeater base station in a vehicle that amplifies a data signal from the mobile client for transmission to a network operations center (NOC); and

transmitting full-motion video and full-quality audio captured by the mobile client along with metadata generated at the mobile client to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection has yet to reach an initial distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device;

providing one or more timing commands to a camera of the mobile client such that a number of still shots captured by the camera of the mobile client based on the one or more timing commands is inversely proportional to the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device; and

transmitting at least one still shot and the full-quality audio captured by the mobile client and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches the initial distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device.

7. The mobile device of claim 6, wherein the actions further comprise:

transmitting only full-quality audio and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a second distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the initial distance threshold;

transmitting only downgraded audio captured by the mobile client and the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a third distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the second distance threshold;

transmitting only the metadata to the recipient device when the distance corresponding to the quality of the communication connection reaches a fourth distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the third distance threshold; and

terminating the transmitting of the metadata when the distance that corresponds to the quality of the communication connection reaches a fifth distance threshold for the distance between the mobile client and the recipient device that is larger than the fourth distance threshold.

8. The mobile device of claim 6, wherein the actions further comprise presenting a playback of the full-motion video that is temporally synchronized with the audio or presenting a playback of a plurality of still shots that are temporally synchronized with the audio.
