Generating an incident dossier

Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for generating an incident dossier are described herein. One device includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to import data associated with an incident associated with a site, wherein the data is in a number of different forms, receive a number of user inputs associated with the incident, and generate an incident dossier based on the data associated with the incident and the number of user inputs, wherein the incident dossier includes a timeline of the incident, a report of the incident, and a damage assessment of the incident.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A computing device for generating an incident dossier of one or more incidents occurring in a building, comprising:
 a memory for storing executable instructions;   a processor operatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the executable instructions stored in the memory to:
 access data associated with one or more incidents; 
 generate an incident dossier based on the data associated with the one or more incidents, wherein the incident dossier includes:
 a timeline; 
 one or more incident indicators each corresponding to a corresponding one of the one or more incidents, wherein at least one of the incident indicators:
 is temporally aligned along the timeline; 
 visually indicates a severity level of the corresponding incident; and 
 is selectable to display additional data associated with the corresponding incident, wherein the additional data includes data related to one or more events that are associated with the corresponding incident; and 
 
 
   a user interface including a display configured to display the incident dossier; and   in response to a selection of a corresponding incident indicator in the displayed incident dossier, displaying at least some of the additional data associated with the corresponding incident.   
     
     
         2 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein at least some of the data associated with one or more of the incidents is provided by a building management system of the building. 
     
     
         3 . The computing device of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the one or more incident indicators is associated with two or more events. 
     
     
         4 . The computing device of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the two or more events corresponds to an alarm issued by the building management system. 
     
     
         5 . The computing device of  claim 3 , wherein when an incident indicator that is associated with two or more events is selected by a user, each of the two or more events are revealed and concurrently displayed to the user. 
     
     
         6 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the incident indicators is displayed larger on the display to visually indicate a higher severity level and is displayed smaller on the display to visually indicate a lower severity level. 
     
     
         7 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the additional data related to one or more of the one or more events includes a video clip that captured at least part of a corresponding event. 
     
     
         8 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the timeline includes one or more user controls that allow a user to move forward along the timeline and/or backward along the timeline. 
     
     
         9 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the timeline includes one or more user controls that allow a user to enter a time range for the timeline. 
     
     
         10 . The computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the incident dossier includes two or more incident indicators each temporally aligned along the timeline. 
     
     
         11 . The computing device of  claim 10 , wherein at least one of the two or more incident indicators in displayed larger than at least one other incident indicator indicating a higher severity level. 
     
     
         12 . The computing device of  claim 10 , wherein the timeline includes a synchronous playback control. 
     
     
         13 . A computer implemented method for generating an incident dossier of one or more incidents occurring in a building, comprising:
 importing, by a computing device, data associated with one or more incidents;   generating, by the computing device, an incident dossier based on the data associated with the one or more incidents, wherein the incident dossier includes:
 a timeline; 
 one or more incident indicators each corresponding to a corresponding one of the one or more incidents, wherein at least one of the incident indicators:
 is temporally aligned along the timeline; 
 is selectable to display additional data associated with the corresponding incident, wherein the additional data includes data related to one or more events that are associated with the corresponding incident; and 
 
   displaying, by the computing device, the incident dossier, wherein in response to a selection of a corresponding incident indicator of the incident dossier, displaying at least some of the additional data associated with the corresponding incident.   
     
     
         14 . The computer implemented method of  claim 13 , wherein at least some of the data associated with one or more of the incidents is provided by a building management system of the building. 
     
     
         15 . The computer implemented method of  claim 13 , wherein at least one of the one or more incident indicators is associated with two or more events. 
     
     
         16 . The computer implemented method of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the two or more events corresponds to an alarm issued by a building management system. 
     
     
         17 . The computer implemented method of  claim 15 , wherein when an incident indicator that is associated with two or more events is selected by a user, each of the two or more events are revealed and concurrently displayed to the user. 
     
     
         18 . A method for generating an incident dossier of one or more incidents occurring in a building, the method comprising:
 displaying a timeline;   displaying one or more incident indicators each temporally aligned along the timeline;   in response to a selection by a user of one of the one or more incident indicators, displaying additional information regarding one or more events that are associated with the selected one of the one or more incident indicators.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein in response to a selection by a user of an incident indicator that is associated with two or more events, revealing each of the two or more events to the user. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 in response to a selection by a user of one of the one or more revealed events, displaying additional information regarding the selected event.
