First Claim
1. A method for communication between tracked resources at a site, the method comprising:
- loading, using at least one processor, a site view on a display associated with a first tracked resource;
displaying the site view on the display associated with the first tracked resource;
displaying and identifying, using the at least one processor, one or more additional tracked resources on the site view, including a second tracked resource; and
upon user selection of the second tracked resource on the site view, establishing, using the at least one processor, an audio communication or a video communication link between the first tracked resource and the second tracked resource in response to the user selection of the second tracked resource as displayed on the site view of the first tracked resource.

Abstract
Provided are systems and methods for tracking resources at a site and initiating audio and video communication with tracked resources using multiple input and output modalities. The systems include a location tracking system, including a positioning engine and a presentation engine, an environmental tracking system, location and environmental sensors, either permanently installed or temporarily deployed, and portable devices such as mobile phones or personal digital assistants carried by the tracked resources and users. The methods include tracking such resources at a site, displaying their locations on a portable device using a visual map display, and providing the ability to initiate bidirectional audio and video communications with one of more of the tracked resources.

13. A recordable storage medium having recorded and stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the actions of:
-
loading, on a display associated with a first tracked resource, a site view; displaying the site view on the display associated with the first tracked resource; displaying and identifying one or more additional tracked resources on the site view, including a second tracked resource; and upon user selection of the second tracked resource on the site view, establishing an audio communication or a video communication link between the first tracked resource and the second tracked resource in response to the user selection of the second tracked resource as displayed on the site view of the first tracked resource. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for establishing bi-directional communication between a first tracked resource and a second tracked resource, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a user of a first tracked resource, instructions for a second tracked resource using one or more of voice, text or gesture modalities on a multimodal system associated with a mobile device; processing, using at least one processor of a location tracking system, the instructions received from the user; communicating, using the at least one processor of the location tracking system, the instructions to the second tracked resource; and outputting, by the second tracked resource, the instructions using a processor associated with a multimodal interface of the second tracked resource. - View Dependent Claims (20)
