INCIDENT COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK WITH DYNAMIC ASSET MARSHALING AND A MOBILE INTEROPERABILITY WORKSTATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240259444 titled 'INCIDENT COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK WITH DYNAMIC ASSET MARSHALING AND A MOBILE INTEROPERABILITY WORKSTATION

The patent application describes systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks, including an incident controller, a communications resource database, and a marshalling rules module.

• Incident controller uses marshalling rules to select communications resources for the incident communications network based on an incident trigger.
• Upon receiving an incident trigger, the incident controller establishes the network by obtaining a marshalling rule and marshaling available communications resources.
• Information sources can provide incident triggers or data to analyze for incident triggers.
• Incident communications network may include mobile interoperability workstations.

1. 1. 1. Key Features and Innovation:

• Utilizes marshalling rules to select and marshal communications resources for incident communications networks.
• Incorporates incident triggers from information sources to establish the network.
• Includes mobile interoperability workstations in the incident communications network.

1. 1. 1. Potential Applications:

The technology can be applied in emergency response systems, disaster management, and crisis communication networks.

1. 1. 1. Problems Solved:

Efficiently establishes incident communications networks based on incident triggers and available resources.

1. 1. 1. Benefits:

Enhanced communication during emergencies, improved coordination among response teams, and quicker response times to incidents.

1. 1. 1. Commercial Applications:

Emergency response agencies, government organizations, and private companies involved in disaster management can benefit from this technology for effective communication during crises.

1. 1. 1. Questions about Incident Communications Networks:

1. How does the incident controller determine which communications resources to marshal?

  - The incident controller uses marshalling rules based on the incident trigger to select and marshal communications resources.

2. What role do mobile interoperability workstations play in the incident communications network?

  - Mobile interoperability workstations are included in the network to provide additional communication capabilities in the field.

Original Abstract Submitted

some embodiments include systems and methods for establishing incident communications networks. the system can include an incident controller, a communications resource database that stores communications resources information, and a marshalling rules module that stores a set of marshalling rules. the incident controller can use a marshalling rule to identify and select the communications resources to be marshaled into the incident communications network based on an incident trigger. upon receipt of an incident trigger, the incident controller is configured to establish the incident communications network by obtaining a marshalling rule based on the incident trigger. the incident controller marshals communications resources based on the marshalling rule and the communications resources determined to be available. information sources can either provide an incident trigger (e.g., a hurricane warning) or provide data to be analyzed to determine an incident trigger. in some embodiments, an incident communications network includes one or more mobile interoperability workstation.
