First Claim
1. A system for providing data communications between a receiving vehicle and an extra-vehicular source, the system comprising:
- a. a data receiver disposed upon said vehicle;
b. a CDPD modem data transmitter associated with the extra-vehicular source; and
c. data input means associated with said data transmitter, said data input means comprising a device for inputting desired user-selected information for transmission.

Abstract
A central control system that affords intuitive and easy control of numerous subsystems associated with a police car or other emergency vehicle and reduces the cockpit clutter associated with present control systems. An emergency response system is described that rapidly coordinates and controls operation of a plurality of emergency subsystems associated with a predetermined scheme of operation for the devices. In one preferred embodiment, the controller receives a single input command and, in response, provides specific device control commands to several individual controlled devices on a relatively simultaneous basis.

4. A vehicular-based emergency response system to provide unified control of a plurality of subsystems, comprising:
-
(a) a warning signal subsystem for providing a visual or audible warning signal from the vehicle;
(b) one or more peripheral subsystems of the group comprising;
(1) a video camera subsystem having at least one video camera;
(2) a traffic radar subsystem for detecting the speeds of other vehicles traveling on a roadway;
(3) a GPS subsystem for recording the location of the vehicle; and
(c) a programmable controller operably interconnected to the warning signal subsystem and the one or more peripheral subsystems, the controller selectively actuating the subsystems in accordance with a common scheme upon receipt of a control command. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A emergency response system to be used with a vehicle comprising:
-
(a) a programmable controller within the vehicle operably interconnected for selective actuation to one or more peripheral subsystems of the group comprising;
(1) a warning signal subsystem for providing a visual or audible warning signal from the vehicle;
(2) a video camera subsystem having at least one video camera;
(3) a traffic radar subsystem for detecting the speeds of other vehicles traveling on a roadway;
(4) a GPS subsystem for recording the location of the vehicle;
(b) a vehicular-based data receiver operably interconnected with the programmable controller;
(c) a portable data entry device for use within a short distance from the vehicle, the data entry device having a means for entry of data and a storage area for data; and
(d) a portable communications device operably interconnected to the data entry device for transmitting entered data from the data entry from the data entry device to the data receiver of the programmable controller within the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)

16. An emergency response system for use in an emergency vehicle comprising:
-
(a) a video camera subsystem for obtaining video images, the video camera subsystem comprising at least one video camera upon the vehicle for obtaining video images;
(b) a programmable controller for said video camera subsystem, the controller being operably interconnected to said video camera subsystem for control of said camera; and
(c) a user interface device interoperably associated with the controller, the interface device having a touch-sensitive display panel that displays information to a user and presents a graphical panel of controls for the user to provide commands to the controller. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
