METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING A DATA STREAM DURING AN INCIDENT

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided, for accessing a data-capture device in a different domain, by public safety wireless communications equipment, for the purpose of obtaining information at an incident. A dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system receives an access token from a server of a non-public-safety network, when an incident occurs. The token allows access to a data-capture device, and is associated with the incident. The dispatch controller sends the token to the data-capture device, receives a data stream, and forwards the data stream to a public safety wireless communication device. The public safety wireless communication device may itself discover and access the data-capture device, and may receive the data stream directly from the data-capture device. The public safety wireless communication device may forward the data stream and/or the access token to other public safety wireless communication devices.

1. A method of accessing a data-capture device, by public safety wireless communications equipment during an incident, the method comprising:
a dispatch controller of a public safety wireless communications system:
receiving a token from a server of a non-public safety network at a time of occurrence of an incident, the token allowing access to at least one data-capture device in a domain of the server and the token having an association with the incident;sending the token to the at least one data-capture device;receiving a data stream from the at least one data-capture device; andforwarding the data stream to a public safety wireless communication device.
