METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING A DATA STREAM DURING AN INCIDENT
First Claim
1. A method of accessing a data-capture device, by public safety wireless communications equipment during an incident, the method comprising:
- a dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system;
receiving a token from a server of a non-public safety network at a time of occurrence of an incident, the token allowing access to at least one data-capture device in a domain of the server and the token having an association with the incident;
sending the token to the at least one data-capture device;
receiving a data stream from the at least one data-capture device; and
forwarding the data stream to a public safety wireless communication device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided, for accessing a data-capture device in a different domain, by public safety wireless communications equipment, for the purpose of obtaining information at an incident. A dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system receives an access token from a server of a non-public-safety network, when an incident occurs. The token allows access to a data-capture device, and is associated with the incident. The dispatch controller sends the token to the data-capture device, receives a data stream, and forwards the data stream to a public safety wireless communication device. The public safety wireless communication device may itself discover and access the data-capture device, and may receive the data stream directly from the data-capture device. The public safety wireless communication device may forward the data stream and/or the access token to other public safety wireless communication devices.

16. A method of accessing a data-capture device by public safety wireless communications equipment during an incident, the method comprising:
a public safety wireless communication device, at a time of an incident; identifying a non-public safety data-capture device at a location of an incident; receiving a token directly from a server of a non-public-safety network, the token allowing secure access to the non-public-safety data-capture device at the location of the incident; sending the token to the non-public-safety data-capture device; receiving a data stream directly from the non-public-safety data-capture device and/or from the server of the non-public safety network; sending the token and/or streaming the data stream to one or more other public safety wireless communication devices of a communication group, the public safety wireless communication device being a member of the communication group. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of accessing a data-capture device by public safety wireless communications equipment during an incident, the method comprising:
-
a public safety wireless communication device, at a time of an incident; identifying a non-public-safety data-capture device at a location of the incident; receiving a token directly from a server of a non-public-safety network, the token allowing secure access to the non-public-safety data-capture device; sending the token to a dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system; the dispatch controller of the public safety wireless communications system; forwarding the token to one or more other public safety wireless communication devices;
orsending the token to the server of the non-public-safety network, receiving a data stream directly from the server of the non-public-safety network, and forwarding the data stream to the one or more other public safety wireless communication devices.
