Abstract

A system and related software for effectively utilizing law enforcement resources is provided. The system includes a recording device configured to continuously record audio and/or video, thereby providing an audio and/or video recording, a computing device associated with the recording device, the computing device configured to receive a trigger indication and upon receiving the trigger indication establish a prior point in time of the audio and/or video recording as a beginning of a critical event and preserve recorded audio and/or video from the beginning of the critical event to an end recording point, and a remote device configured to analyze audio and/or video recordings including the preserved audio and/or video and provide information based on audio and/or video recording analysis. At least one of the computing device and the remote device is configured to apply information to the recorded audio and/or video based on events occurring between the beginning of the critical event and the end recording point for analysis by the remote device.

Claims

1. A system for effectively utilizing law enforcement resources, comprising:

a recording device configured to continuously record audio and/or video, thereby providing an audio and/or video recording;

a computing device associated with the recording device, the computing device configured to receive a trigger indication and upon receiving the trigger indication establish a prior point in time of the audio and/or video recording as a beginning of a critical event and preserve recorded audio and/or video from the beginning of the critical event to an end recording point; and

a remote device configured to analyze audio and/or video recordings including the preserved audio and/or video and provide information based on audio and/or video recording analysis;

wherein at least one of the computing device and the remote device is configured to apply information to the recorded audio and/or video based on events occurring between the beginning of the critical event and the end recording point for analysis by the remote device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein computing device includes an override feature engageable by a wearer to override the trigger indication and inhibit the trigger indication from establishing the critical event.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device includes a vibratory alert function configured to notify a wearer that the computing device has been activated and is recording.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device comprises a feature to deactivate trigger indications when a wearer is in a defined geographic location.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device includes an acoustic sensor and the computing device is configured to provide a trigger indication based on sounds sensed by the acoustic sensor.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device is configured to inhibit a person from altering recorded information maintained on the computing device.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device includes a function inhibiting a person from altering recorded information maintained on the computing device.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein the computing device includes a function inhibiting a person from altering recorded information maintained on the computing device.

7. A system for deploying law enforcement resources, comprising:

a recording device configured to continuously record audio and/or video, thereby providing an audio and/or video recording;

a computing device associated with the recording device, the computing device configured to establish a prior point in time of the audio and/or video recording as a beginning of a critical event and preserve recorded audio and/or video from the beginning of the critical event to an end recording point; and

a remote device configured to analyze audio and/or video recordings including the preserved audio and/or video and provide information based on audio and/or video recording analysis;

wherein the computing device is configured to sense a trigger indication using multiple sensing means and issue a command to the recording device upon sensing the trigger indication.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein computing device includes an override feature engageable by a wearer to override the trigger indication and inhibit the trigger indication from initiating recording using the recording device.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the computing device includes a vibratory alert function configured to notify a wearer that the computing device has been activated and is recording.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the computing device comprises a feature to deactivate trigger indications when a wearer is in a defined geographic location.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the computing device includes an acoustic sensor and the computing device is configured to provide the trigger indication based on sounds sensed by the acoustic sensor.

17. The system of claim 7, wherein the computing device includes an acoustic sensor and the computing device is configured to provide the trigger indication signal based on sounds sensed by the acoustic sensor.

13. A system for deploying law enforcement resources, comprising:

a recording device configured to continuously record audio and/or video, thereby providing an audio and/or video recording;

a computing device configured to transmit a trigger indication signal to the recording device to commence recording and receive the audio and/or video recording by establishing a prior point in time of the audio and/or video recording as a beginning of a critical event and preserve recorded audio and/or video from the beginning of the critical event to an end recording point; and

a remote device configured to analyze the preserved audio and/or video and provide information based on audio and/or video recording analysis;

wherein the computing device is configured to sense a trigger indication using multiple sensing means and transmit the trigger indication signal to the recording device upon sensing the trigger indication.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein computing device includes an override feature engageable by a wearer to override the trigger indication and inhibit transmission of the trigger indication signal.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the computing device includes a vibratory alert function configured to notify a wearer that the computing device has been activated and is recording.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the computing device comprises a feature to deactivate trigger indication signal transmission when a wearer is in a defined geographic location.
