A communication and intelligence gathering system and method for monitoring a crisis scene from a remote command post. The system includes an access node positioned within communication range of multiple observation platforms that each provide information relating to the crisis scene, such as a video feed. The access node communicates with a main transfer module that relays the audio / video / data from the crisis scene to a main transfer module remotely positioned. A second main transfer module communicates with a field command post such that personnel at the field command post can monitor, react to and manage the crisis situation from the remote location. The access node position near the crisis scene also communications video and relevant information to field agents such that the field agents can monitor the video and information from a hand held / portable device.

A persistent snapshot is taken and maintained in accordance with a novel method and system for extended periods of time using only a portion of a computer readable medium of which the snapshot is taken. Multiple snapshots can be taken in succession at periodic intervals and maintained practically indefinitely. The snapshots are maintained even after powering down and rebooting of the computer system. The state of the object of the snapshot for each snapshot preferably is accessible via a folder on volume of the snapshot. A restore of a file or folder may be accomplished by merely copy that file or folder from the snapshot folder to a current directory of the volume. Alternatively, the entire computer system may be restored to a previous snapshot state thereof. Snapshots that occurred after the state to which the computer is restored are not lost in the restore operation. Different rule sets and scenarios can be applied to each snapshot. Furthermore, each snapshot can be written to within the context of the snapshot and later restored to its pristine condition. Software for implementing the systems and methods of snapshots in accordance with the present invention may comprise firmware of a hard disk drive controller or a disk controller board or within the HDD casing itself. The present invention further comprises novel systems and methods in which the systems and methods of taking and maintaining snapshots are utilized in creating and managing temporal data stores, including temporal database management systems. The implications for data mining and exploration, data analysis, intelligence gathering, and artificial intelligence (just to name a few areas) are profound.

A biometric mobile device is capable of interacting with existing cellular, wireless, and wired telecommunication and other communication networks to support intelligence gathering, human body identification, special operations and other applications. A method of collecting biometric data at an accident or crime scene may comprise, for example, utilizing a camera to photograph the accident scene, collecting key entered data that may not be otherwise obtainable, using a fingerprint scanner to collect, digitize and store fingerprint data, using a lab-on-a-chip DNA profile device for collecting and analyzing a DNA specimen and generating identification and DNA profile data for bar code entry and other means for collecting any known form of biometric data including, but not limited to, vascular facial structure, dental structure, cornea, iris or other data which may be unique or limiting for identification purposes.

The invention is a contact, calendar, workflow, and intelligence gathering application that allows a user, such as a financial advisor to collect, codify and analyze objective and subjective data regarding clients, corporate / institutional accounts, contacts / prospects, financial products and market trends. The invention assists a financial advisor in batch calling, scheduling work, delegating tasks and facilitating associative intellect, allowing a user to test hunches or “wispy thoughts” to discovery client and market trends.

The invention discloses an enterprise intelligence gathering method based on a Michael Porter's Five Forces Model. The method comprises the steps of firstly, quantizing influence factors of potential competitors, competitors, suppliers, buyers and substitute goods in the Michael Porter's Five Forces Model, gathering an information set I according to gathering rules established by quantized factors; secondly, structurally extracting Five Forces influence factors in the set I and a structured information set S of an enterprise; thirdly, analyzing the structured information set S again, intelligently analyzing enterprise competitive intelligence, automatically finding out enterprise like products and competitors, analyzing the development trend of hot events, and finally pushing the competitive intelligence to users. The method realizes enterprise competitive intelligence gathering and confluence analysis.

The invention relates to an information collecting, processing and retrieving system. The information collecting, processing and retrieving system comprises an information collecting module, an information processing module, a retrieving module, an information base and a knowledge base, wherein the knowledge base comprises an interest model base, a professional field knowledge base, an authoritative website list and a threshold value base, the information collecting module comprises a searcher and an interest customizing module, and the interest customizing module is used for customizing an interest customization and document relevance model for a user. According to the information collecting, processing and retrieving system, downloaded information is filtered and sorted through calculation of the relevance between user definition and interests, and then collection, processing and management of public informative information on the Internet can be well achieved.

The invention relates to a simulated granule page information collecting method which can simulate the manual collecting method, and solve the problems of present word-type and format-type that used to collect the information of page with lower efficiency and high cost, etc. wherein, it can widely used in building search engine, commercial information collection, and electric website information search. Compared to the rough granule full-text information collected by the traditional network robot, the invention can improve the value of fined collected information, which said information can be directly used to analyze commercial information, the database of similar website, etc.

The invention discloses an intelligent information collecting device on a disaster site. A communication module, a temperature and pressure sensor, a micro sensor, an RFID reading instrument, a gyroscope, a vital sign detector and the like are designed to be additionally arranged. The several innovative functions of man positioning, telecommunication, motion state detection, air respirator pressure monitoring, external environment (temperature and pressure) detection, vital sign monitoring and the like inside a building are further achieved, and all detecting parameters can be transmitted to a field managing rescue platform in real time.
