1. A method comprising the steps of:
- accessing a database and determining public-safety officers at an incident scene;
accessing the database and determining radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene;
accessing the database and determining capabilities of the public-safety officers at the incident scene;
accessing the database and determining capabilities of the radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene;
accessing the database and determining cameras, drones, or robots at the incident scene, the cameras, drones, or robots not being associated with public safety officers at the incident scene;
determining a first public safety officer that is the best capable of operating the cameras, drones, or robots based on the determined capabilities of the public safety officers at the incident scene and the determined capabilities of the radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene; and
transmitting instructions to pair cameras or drones or robots at the incident scene to a first radio associated with the first public safety officer, wherein the pairing is a 1-to-1 mapping;
transmitting software for operating the camera to the radio operated by the first officer, wherein the software aides the first officer in operating the camera; and
wherein the instructions to pair causes radios associated with the public-safety officers to view and control at least one camera at the incident scene; and
wherein the step of determining capabilities of the public-safety officers comprises the step of determining if the public-safety officers are certified in operating the cameras, drones, or robots at the incident scene.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for pairing resources to equipment is provided herein. During operation a resource pairing engine (RPE) determines public-safety officers at the incident scene, determines equipment associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, determines capabilities of the public-safety officers at the incident scene, determines the capabilities of the equipment associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, determines the resources at the incident scene, and transmits instructions to pair resources at the incident scene to public-safety officers equipment for monitoring and controlling the equipment.

3. An apparatus comprising:
-
a database; logic circuitry accessing the database and determining public-safety officers at an incident scene, radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, capabilities of the public-safety officers at the incident scene, capabilities of the radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, and cameras at the incident scene, wherein the cameras are not paired with any public safety officers at the incident scene; wherein the logic circuitry determines a first officer best capable of operating a first camera, drone, or robot based on the capabilities of the public-safety officers at the incident scene, capabilities of the radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, and cameras at the incident scene; and wherein the logic circuitry also determines an association between a first radio and the first officer; and a transmitter transmitting instructions to pair the first radio and the first camera, wherein the transmitter transmits software for operating the first camera to the radio, wherein the software aides the first officer in operating the first camera; wherein the first radio comprises a device capable of controlling and monitoring the camera, drone, or robot; and wherein the capabilities of the public-safety officers comprises a certification in operating the cameras, drones, or robots at the incident scene. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)

6. An apparatus comprising:
-
a database; logic circuitry coupled to the database, and having an input from the database, and an output, wherein the input comprises public-safety officers at an incident scene, radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, capabilities of the public-safety officers at the incident scene, capabilities of the radios associated with the public-safety officers at the incident scene, and cameras, drones or robots at the incident scene, the cameras, drones or robots at the incident scene not being associated with the public safety officers at the incident scene; wherein the output comprises instructions to pair a first radio at the incident scene with a first camera, drone or robot, the first radio associated with a first officer, the first officer having been determined to be the best capable of operating the first camera based on the capabilities of the public safety officers at the incident scene, the capabilities of the radios associated with the public safety officers at the incident scene, and the cameras, drones or robots at the incident scene, wherein the transmitter transmits software for operating the first camera to the first radios, wherein the pairing is a 1-to-1 mapping; and wherein the first radio is capable of controlling and monitoring the first camera; and wherein the capabilities of the public-safety officers comprises a certification of the public-safety officer to operate the first camera, drone, or robot.
