Digital glass enhanced media system
First Claim
1. A digital glass-enhanced media system, the system comprising:
- a control module configured to determine a source of a received data stream, and to generate a control signal dictating routing of the data stream;
a distribution module configured to route the received data stream to a corresponding destination based on the control signal;
a digital glass transceiver configured to communicate with a plurality of digital glass devices; and
an agency transceiver configured to communicate with a plurality of agencies,wherein the control module includes a registration module configured to store relationships between the plurality of digital glass devices and the plurality of agencies, andwherein the relationships define at least one Field Group of digital glass devices that are cooperatively operating in a common task, and at least one Agency Group of agencies that are cooperatively assisting with the common task.

Abstract
A digital glass enhanced media system (DGEMS) is provided that is capable of performing routing and processing of audio and video inputs received from a plurality of digital glass devices, as well as a plurality of agencies, in order to provide enhanced and coordinated information distribution among the digital glass devices. Such routing may include distributing information received from the devices to relevant agencies providing assistance to the wearers of those devices, as well as to other team member devices. Control is also provided, such that a user of such a digital glass device car select how or what information is received. In this manner, coordinated information distribution can be provided so as to allow users to optimize the coordination of their teamwork.
