Method and system for datacasting and content management

Abstract

A method and system of content management for datacasting. A dashboard system for managing data feeds. A dashboard system may receive data feeds from one or more associated devices, such as the hardware devices of first responders or other public safety officers, and may aggregate and prioritize them. The dashboard system may then manage, prioritize and encrypt the video, files and other data in preparation for broadcast over the television or satellite transmitter, via, for example, a television broadcasting station, and may then broadcast the video, files, or other data to a plurality of users. Alerts and notifications may be created, files attached and links to video streams distributed over this same broadcast network. The broadcasting system may be able to send multiple streams of content simultaneously, may be able to target specific users to be broadcast to, and be able to incorporate data from public data sources.

         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when managing the data, the dashboard performs at least one of combining the data, adding additional information to the data, and converting the data into a datacasting content, for the datacasting. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the source, after receiving the data as the receiver, resends the data to the dashboard after adding a feedback into the data by controlling the dashboard.

         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard generates the data as the source for datacasting. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the data includes at least one of a video, an audio, a text, an image, Metadata, a live data stream, a file, an alert, a notification, and an emergency alarm. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the sources include at least one of a video management system (VMS), a public safety officer, a security camera, an aircraft, an airship, an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), a stationary device, and a portable device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the receivers include at least one of a stationary antenna, a portable antenna, and a wired receiver. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of receivers receives the data via a TV broadcasting network. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when managing the data, the dashboard manages an encryption of the data for a targeted receiver, the targeted receiver decrypting the data after receiving the data. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein when managing the data, the dashboard combines data from the plurality of sources, the plurality of sources configured to receive the combined data. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the dashboard prioritizes at least one of the data for datacasting by at least one of broadcasting higher-priority data before broadcasting lower-priority data, increasing a repetition frequency of broadcasting the higher-priority data, or allocating additional bandwidth for transmission of the higher-priority data. 
     
     
         16 . A system of data management for datacasting, comprising:
 a plurality of sources for generating data;   an encoder for receiving and encoding the data to be in a format that is eligible to be managed by a dashboard, the dashboard managing and sending the data for datacasting;   a memory for storing the data; and   a plurality of receivers for receiving the data,   wherein the sources or the receivers communicate with the dashboard by at least one of an implemented software and an equipment,   wherein the dashboard authorizes at least one of the plurality of receivers to receive the data, and   wherein the dashboard prioritizes at least one of the data for datacasting and transmits higher-priority data before lower-priority data.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the source receives the data as the receiver, and the source shares a specific content with other sources by sending the specific content to the dashboard.
