Agency Data-Sharing Permissions for Incident Response Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Public safety agencies face communication inefficiencies and inability to exchange critical data, such as images or videos, across different systems during multijurisdictional incidents, leading to uncoordinated responses due to communication resource restrictions and equipment limitations.
Innovation Solution
A computing device that maps data-sharing parameters to identify communication permissions and generates a GUI to modify these parameters, enabling data-sharing by automatically generating actuatable inputs to allow restricted data exchanges and providing remedial actions to ensure seamless communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If data-sharing parameters are restricted to maintain security and control, then communication permissions are protected, but data exchange capability between agencies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts data-sharing parameters based on incident requirements. The GUI allows operators to modify communication permissions in real-time during multijurisdictional incidents, transforming static restricted parameters into dynamic adaptable ones that balance security with operational needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the state of data-sharing parameters from restricted to permitted through user interaction. The system provides mechanisms to modify parameter values and permissions, enabling data exchanges that were previously blocked while maintaining controlled access through the interface.
2Device complexity
If communication resources are limited to maintain system simplicity, then device complexity is reduced, but communication coordination between agencies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The computing device acts as an intermediary that automatically maps communication resources between agencies. It identifies available resources, matches them with data exchange requirements, and facilitates coordinated communication without requiring complex manual configuration at each agency endpoint.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a universal interface that works across multiple agency systems with different communication resources. The GUI provides unified control for mapping and enabling data exchanges between various communication platforms, making the system adaptable to diverse agency infrastructures without requiring agency-specific complex configurations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If data-sharing parameters are modified to enable restricted data exchanges, then data exchange capability is improved, but communication security control deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback mechanisms through the GUI that allow operators to review and confirm parameter modifications before implementation. The interface displays current data-sharing parameters and enables controlled changes with visibility into what is being modified, maintaining security oversight while enabling necessary data exchanges.
Data Source
AI summary
A device obtains: a first dataset identifying one or more data-sharing parameters between agencies that indicate communication permissions therebetween; and a second dataset identifying data exchanged between two agencies as part of a response to a simulated incident. The device maps the data identified by the second dataset to the one or more data-sharing parameters. Based on the mapping the device, determines that a data-sharing parameter fails to permit data-sharing for the data exchanged in the simulated incident and, in response, automatically generates a graphic user interface (GUI) identifying the data exchanged, and including actuatable inputs associated with data-sharing parameters that fails to permit data-sharing. In response to receiving an actuation of an actuatable input, the device modifies an associated data-sharing parameter to permit data-sharing between an agency and one or more other agencies, via one or more communication resources, for given data that corresponds to the data exchanged.
