Method and system for situation tracking and notification

Alerts (13) are generated at mobile entity devices (12) and servers (16). The alerts are examined at the servers and handled by the server and / or forwarded to a clearing house (22). At the clearing house, emergency events (40) are created in response to the alerts by an event module (36). A notify module (38) compares events to an information need (304) associated with a subscriber profile (46) to determine whether a subscriber associated with the subscriber profile should be notified about events. The notify module also handles interactive search requests from a client (20) for the events.

Location data diffusion and location discovery

A location discovery method using location data items that originate at known locations (X,Y) and are passed to, and diffused between, entities (A,B) by short-range communication. Each location data item received by an entity (A,B) indicates a maximum distance of the entity from one of the known locations (X,Y). Each entity (A,B) prior to using a location data item for location determination or transferring it to another entity, is operative to increase the maximum distance indicated by the location data item to take account of movement of the mobile entity since receiving that item. A mobile entity (A) effects location determination by finding locations (40) simultaneously consistent with the maximum distances (31,36) it knows of and any applicable route constraints for how the location data items passed to the mobile entity.

Dynamic multicast grouping for vehicles and other mobile objects

ActiveUS7065576B2Increasing network bandwidth requirementAdditional processing resourceSpecial service provision for substationArrangements for variable traffic instructionsMobile entityGreedy algorithm
An area is divided into regions or cells each having an associated multicast group address. The cells are organized using a quad-tree data structure that is dynamically updated. Mobile entities within a given cell elect one of their members as coordinator for assessing cost data associated with subdividing or merging the cell with other sibling cells. The coordinators communicate this cost data to a partitioning entity, which may be a central server, that computes a new partition scheme using a greedy algorithm. The new partition scheme is then broadcast to the mobile entities for use in subsequent communication. Mobile entities join multicast groups that intersect with their individual vision domains. In this way, mobile entities can acquire information from other mobile entities without the need to monitor all multicast group transmissions.

Sharing image items

The user of a mobile entity with camera functionality uses it to capture an image item which the user then transfers to a networked service system for future access. To facilitate the sharing of the image item with persons who were nearby when the image item was captured, the user uses the mobile entity to form a viewer set of permitted viewers of the image item. The process of forming the viewer set involves the user selection of individuals from a group of persons identified as nearby by a wireless enquiry carried out by the mobile entity contemporaneously with image-item capture. Each viewer in the viewer set is then sent a message with access information for accessing the image item at the service system.
