An electronic processor that may be configured to perform a first voiceprint analysis of first audio data of a first call from a first caller to determine a first voiceprint of the first caller, and determine that the first voiceprint matches a first previously-stored voiceprint. The first previously-stored voiceprint may identify and be associated with first previously-stored information regarding a previous call from the first caller that is anonymized so as not to include a name of the first caller or a phone number of the first caller. The electronic processor may also receive a permission command based on a user input from the first caller to indicate that a call taker handling the first call is allowed to have access to the first previously-stored information. The electronic processor may output the first previously-stored information on a call taker device in response to receiving the permission command.
A retainer (10) includes a main body (26) having a top wall (30), a first side wall (34), a second side wall (38) spaced opposite the first side wall (34), a front wall (42), and a rear wall (46) spaced opposite the front wall (42) along a longitudinal axis. The walls define an interior cavity (50) sized and shaped to receive an accessory plug (14). The front wall (42) defines a front opening (58) that extends into the interior cavity (50) and is sized and shaped to receive a portion of a cable (18). The front wall (42) also includes a first hook (62) and a second hook (66) each positioned below the front opening (58). The rear wall (46) includes a third hook (70) extending forward into the interior cavity (50). The retainer (10) is moved forward linearly, and parallel to the longitudinal axis, to secure the hooks (62) to a portable communications device.
A computer-implemented method includes making an analytics-based determination that a water vessel has moved from one region to another region. The computer-implemented method also includes changing, within a security system and responsive to the determining, security monitoring of the water vessel from a first monitoring mode to a second monitoring mode, and the second monitoring mode being more sensitive than the first monitoring mode in relation to a measured velocity of the water vessel being a conditionally defined trigger for at least one analytics-based alarm within the security system.
Device, system and method for automatically replying to public-safety or enterprise-safety text messages is provided. A device receives, from a communication device, a text message indicative of: a given public-safety or enterprise-safety incident type; data documenting the given public-safety or enterprise-safety incident type; and a requested public-safety or enterprise-safety action associated with the given public-safety or enterprise-safety incident type. The device determines an implementable public-safety or enterprise-safety action for the given public-safety or enterprise-safety incident type based on the data. In response to determining, at the device, a difference between the requested public-safety or enterprise-safety action and the implementable public-safety or enterprise-safety action, the device: generates a reply text message identifying one or more of the implementable public-safety or enterprise-safety action and the difference; and transmits, to the communication device, the reply text message.
