COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RESPONDERS
First Claim
1. A method of communicating among a plurality of responders, the method comprising:
- defining a subset of the plurality of responders associated with a first responder, wherein each of the first responder and the responders in the subset has a computing device;
establishing a communication link between the computing devices of the first responder and the plurality of responders in the subset;
establishing a priority rank among the first responder and the responders in the subset; and
sending communications between computing devices the first responder and the responders via the communication link subset based on the priority rank.

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.

13. A system for communicating among a plurality of responders, the system comprising:
-
a computing device associated with a first responder; and instructions stored in the computing device, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by the computing device, cause the computing device to; define a subset of the plurality of responders, wherein each of the responders in the subset has a computing device, establish a communication link between the computing devices of the first responder and the plurality of responders in the subset, and send communications to the computing devices of the responders in the subset based on a priority rank among the first responder and the responders in the subset.

14. A computer-readable medium having instructions thereon for communicating among a plurality of responders, wherein the instructions, in response to execution by a computing device of a first responder, cause the computing device to:
-
define a subset of the plurality of responders, wherein each of the responders in the subset has a computing device; establish a communication link between the computing devices of the first responder and the plurality of responders in the subset; and send communications to the computing devices of the responders in the subset based on a priority rank among the first responder and the responders in the subset.
