20 Claims

1. A method of prompting a user to report a public-safety incident, comprising:

capturing, at an electronic computing device, sensor data via one or more sensor devices communicatively coupled to the electronic computing device;

detecting, at the electronic computing device, that the captured sensor data indicates an occurrence of a potential public-safety incident;

determining, at the electronic computing device, that a user operating the electronic computing device has not reported the potential public-safety incident to an identified public-safety agency;

identifying, at the electronic computing device, a time window for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency; and

providing, at, the electronic computing device, during the identified time window, a visual and/or audio prompt for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency.

14. An electronic computing device, comprising:

one or more sensor devices;

a visual and/or audio output component; and

an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the one or more sensor devices and the visual and/or audio output component, the electronic processor configured to:

capture sensor data via the one or more sensor devices;

detect that the captured sensor data indicates an occurrence of a potential public-safety incident;

determine that a user operating the electronic computing device has not reported the potential public-safety incident to an identified public-safety agency;

identify a time window for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency; and

provide, via the visual and/or audio output component, a visual and/or audio prompt for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency.

18. A method of prompting a user to report a public-safety incident, the method comprising:

capturing, at a public-safety server, sensor data via one or more sensor devices communicatively coupled to the public-safety server;

detecting, at the public-safety server, that the captured sensor data indicates occurrence of a potential public-safety incident;

identifying, at, the public-safety server, a user who has witnessed and/or experienced the potential public-safety incident;

determining, at the public-safety server, that the user has not reported the potential public-safety incident to an identified public-safety agency;

identifying, at the public-safety server, a time window for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency; and

transmitting, at the public-safety server, during the identified time window, a visual and/or audio prompt to an electronic computing device operated, by the user for prompting the user to report the potential public-safety incident to the identified public-safety agency.
