Event-Based Responder Dispatch
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions embodied thereon for managing a plurality of responders, wherein each responder of the plurality of responders has a respective computing device, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by a dispatch computing device, cause the dispatch computing device to:
- determine that the computing devices of the plurality of responders are located in proximity to a location or event;
determine a hierarchy of the plurality of responders;
transmit a message to each computing devices of the plurality of responders, the message includes indicia of the hierarchy; and
establish a communication link between the computing devices of the plurality of responders, wherein the computing devices of the plurality of responders are configured to communicate with each other via the communication link in accordance with the hierarchy.

Abstract
Dispatch-aiding communications between computing devices of a responder and a dispatch unit include a computing device of the responder determining that an event occurred, automatically sending an indication of the event to a computing device of the dispatch unit, receiving a request for information from the computing device of the dispatch unit, obtaining the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit, and sending the information requested by the computing device of the dispatch unit to the computing device of the dispatch unit. The computing device of the dispatch unit sends the request for information to the computing device of the responder in response to receiving the indication of the event.

12. A server for establishing a hierarchy for electronic communication between a plurality of provided computing devices, each computing device of the plurality associated with a respective provided responder, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a system memory, the system memory stores instructions for execution by the processor to perform the operations of the server; a network interface, the network interface communicates with each computing device of the plurality via at least one provided network;
wherein the server;determines that the computing devices are proximate to a location; determines a hierarchy for governing communication between the computing devices; transmits indicia of the hierarchy to each computing device; establishes a communication link via the network between the computing devices, wherein the computing devices are configured to facilitate communication between responders via their respective computing devices in accordance with the hierarchy. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A method performed by a server for establishing a hierarchy for electronic communication between a plurality of computing devices, each computing device of the plurality associated with a respective responder, the method comprising:
-
determining via electronic communication with each computing device that the plurality is proximate to a location; receiving from each computing device indicia of at least one of an agency associated with each computing device, an agency associated with each responder, a seniority of each responder, and a nature of an event occurring at the location; determining in accordance with the indicia a hierarchy for communication between the computing devices; and transmitting to each computing device of the plurality information regarding the hierarchy to enable each computing device to configure itself to communicate in accordance with the hierarchy, each computing device enabled to configure itself without action by the responder associated with the computing device;
wherein;the server is positioned remotely from the location; and the server electronically communicates with each computing device via a network. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
