Abstract

A system and method for providing a sensor and video protocol for a real time security data acquisition and integration system are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: receiving a data sample; assigning, by use of a data processor, a sample identifier (ID) to the received data sample; recording, into a sensor sample data set, an ID of a sensing device that sourced the data sample; recording, into the sensor sample data set, a time and a location corresponding to when and where the data sample was taken by the sensing device; storing the received data sample into a values section of the sensor sample data set based on a format defined by a sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set; and storing details of the sensing device into a sensor type section of the sensor sample data set.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a data sample,

assigning, by use of a data processor, a sample identifier (ID) to the received data sample;

recording, into a sensor sample data set, an ID of a sensing device that sourced the data sample;

recording, into the sensor sample data set, a time and a location corresponding to when and where the data sample was taken by the sensing device;

storing the received data sample into a values section of the sensor sample data set based on a format defined by a sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set; and

storing details of the sensing device into a sensor type section of the sensor sample data set.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the data sample includes sensor data, video data, audio data, or telemetry data.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the data sample is received from the sensing device, which is located in a monitored venue.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein the monitored venue is a mobile venue from the group:

mass transit vehicle, military vehicle, train, railcar, ship, ferry, buses, aircraft, automobile, and truck.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 including causing a transfer of the sensor sample data set to an edge device data aggregator via either a wired or a wireless data connection.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set includes a definition for a value format for data samples from a plurality of sensing devices.

7. A system comprising:

a plurality of sensor arrays and video sources deployed in a monitored venue; and

a sensor protocol interface in data communication with the plurality of sensor arrays and video sources via a data connection, the sensor protocol interface including processing modules to;

receive a data sample from one of the plurality of sensor arrays and video sources;

assign a sample identifier (ID) to the received data sample;

record, into a sensor sample data set, an ID of a sensing device that sourced the data sample;

record, into the sensor sample data set, a time and a location corresponding to when and where the data sample was taken by the sensing device;

store the received data sample into a values section of the sensor sample data set based on a format defined by a sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set; and

store details of the sensing device into a sensor type section of the sensor sample data set.

8. The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the data sample includes sensor data, video data, audio data, or telemetry data.

9. The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the data sample is received from the sensing device, which is located in the monitored venue.

10. The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the monitored venue is a mobile venue from the group:

mass transit vehicle, military vehicle, train, railcar, ship, ferry, buses, aircraft, automobile, and truck.

11. The system as claimed in claim 7 being further configured to cause a transfer of the sensor sample data set to an edge device data aggregator via either a wired or a wireless data connection.

12. The system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set includes a definition for a value format for data samples from a plurality of sensing devices.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having machine executable instructions embedded thereon, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

receive a data sample from one of the plurality of sensor arrays and video sources;

assign a sample identifier (ID) to the received data sample;

record, into a sensor sample data set, an ID of a sensing device that sourced the data sample;

record, into the sensor sample data set, a time and a location corresponding to when and where the data sample was taken by the sensing device;

store the received data sample into a values section of the sensor sample data set based on a format defined by a sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set; and

store details of the sensing device into a sensor type section of the sensor sample data set.

14. The machine-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein the data sample includes sensor data, video data, audio data, or telemetry data.

15. The machine-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein the data sample is received from the sensing device, which is located in the monitored venue.

16. The machine-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 15 wherein the monitored venue is a mobile venue from the group:

mass transit vehicle, military vehicle, train, railcar, ship, ferry, buses, aircraft, automobile, and truck.

17. The machine-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 13 being further configured to cause a transfer of the sensor sample data set to an edge device data aggregator via either a wired or a wireless data connection.

18. The machine-readable storage medium as claimed in claim 13 wherein the sensor fields section of the sensor sample data set includes a definition for a value format for data samples from a plurality of sensing devices.
