METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR DEVICE PAIRING FOR IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY OF FIRST RESPONDERS ENTERING INCIDENT SCENE AREA

摘要

Improved incident device pairing for safety and security of first responders entering an incident scene area associated with an incident is provided. An electronic computing device (ECD) transmits a request to scan for nearby pairable mobile computing devices to each of a plurality of mobile computing devices (MCDs) associated with the incident (302). The ECD receives identity information from each MCDs setting forth identities of other MCDs reachable via a short-range wireless communication link (304). The ECD accesses equipment mapping information that sets forth equipment associated with the MCD or user thereof (306) and identifies a plurality of pairs of MCDs for entering the incident scene area as a function of the identity and equipment mapping information (308). The ECD then transmits a short-range pairing instruction to each MCD identifying the other mobile computing device in the pair and instructing the MCDs to pair with one another via their short-range wireless communication link (310).
