eSAT pushes 3D scene awareness and targeting to forward positioned mobile operators and their handheld devices in environments such as found in military theaters of operation, border control and enforcement, police operations, search & rescue and large commercial industrial operations. A host computer hosts a 3D model of a scene and dynamically captures and transmits a windowed portion of the visual representation of that 3D model over a wireless network to the mobile operators' handheld devices. The windowed portion of the visual representation is streamed directly to the operators' handheld device displays. The mobile operators may interact with and control the 3D model via the wireless network. The host computer may synthesize the visual representation of the 3D model with live feeds from one or more of the handheld devices or other assets to improve situational awareness. Either the mobile operators or host operator can make point selections on the visual representation to extract geo-coordinates from the 3D model as a set of target coordinates.

Means and method for generating a unique user's identity for use between different domains

Mobile operators presently offer services on behalf of service providers where such services are really carried out for the users. Mobile operators act as identity providers in this scenario, wherein service provider and identity provider share a unique identity to identify each particular user accessing a number of services. As the number of users accessing these services, and the number of services offered from different service providers increase, the storage required at the operator's network for such amount of user's identities becomes a problem. To overcome this and other problems, the present invention provides an identity Generator device arranged to generate a user's service indicator to identify the user between the service provider and the identity provider, the user's service indicator comprising a master user's identifier for identification of the user at the identity provider, and a service identifier indicating the services to be accessed at a given service provider.
