METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CONNECTING COMPUTER AIDED DISPATCH SYSTEMS AND INTERNET-OF-THINGS SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING EMERGENCY RESPONSE SERVICES

摘要

Methods, systems and devices for connecting computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems for providing improved emergency response services are described. An example method includes connecting to a first CAD system and a second CAD system, wherein the information exchange interfaces associated with the first and second CAD systems are incompatible, and performing, using a common user interface overlay, the following operations: receiving an indication of an emergency situation, transmitting a list of available assets to the first CAD system, wherein the list of available assets comprises at least a set of available assets that are controlled by the second CAD system, receiving, from the first CAD system, a set of active assets designated to respond to the emergency situation, wherein the set of active assets is selected from the list of available assets, and transmitting, to the second CAD system, the set of active assets.
