Communication between responders
First Claim
1. A computing device of a responder for communicating among responders from a plurality of responder agencies, the computing device comprising:
- a wireless network interface;
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to;
send an indication of a location of the computing device of the responder via the wireless network interface to a first remote computing device, each of the responder and the first remote computing device associated with a first responder agency among the plurality of responder agencies;
receive authorization from the first remote computing device of the first responder agency via the wireless network interface to permit direct communication between the computing device and a second computing device of a second responder of a second responder agency among the plurality of responder agencies, the authorization received after the first remote computing device has determined that the computing device is located at an event and a second remote computing device of the second responder agency has determined that the second computing device is located at the event;
in response to receiving authorization, establish a communication link via the wireless network interface between the computing device of the responder of the first responder agency and the second computing device of the second responder of the second responder agency, wherein the communication link permits direct communication between the responder and the second responder.

Abstract
A method for communicating among responders from a plurality of responder agencies includes determining that responders from two responder agencies are located at an event or location. Each of the responders from the two responder agencies has a computing device that is configured to communicate with the other computing device of the responders. Authorization is received from the two responder agencies to permit direct communication between responders from the two responder agencies. A communication link is established between the computing devices of the responders of the two responder agencies in response to determining that the responders from the two responder agencies are located at the event or location and in response to receiving the authorization. The communication link permits direct communication between the responders of the two responder agencies.
