`667)
`A Mobile Lawyer system includes a 360 degree HD video
`camera configured for mounting on a vehicle; a display
`screen configured for mounting inside the passenger com-
`partment of a vehicle; and a Mobile Lawyer App down-
`loaded and installed on a mobile telephone in communica-
`tion with the video camera and display screen, configured,
`upon command from a user, to notify an attorney located
`remotely via a cellular and/or computer network, and to
`display a video image of the remote attorney on the display
`screen (or the screen of the mobile telephone), and to
`live-stream a 360 degree video captured by the video camera
`to the Internet for viewing by the remote attorney and for
`cloud storage. The introduction of a lawyer on-demandinto
`a police encounter can help to defuse and de-escalate the
`situation. The lawyer can serve as a live observer, witness,
`and intermediary who can provide live legal guidance to the
`user.

`
`This is a Continuation ofU.S. application Ser. No. 15/688,
`764 filed Aug. 28, 2017, which is a Continuation-in-Part
`application of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/644,524 filed Jul.
`7, 2017, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent
`Application No. 62/364,300 filed on Jul. 19, 2016, all of
`which are hereby incorporated by referencein their entirety.
`
`FIELD
`
`This disclosure relates to mobile software applications,
`and moreparticularly to a mabile legal counsel system and
`method, so that an attorney can be summoned quickly and
`virtually whenever a need arises to serve as a third-party
`observer, help defuse the situation, run interference, and
`provide legal advice.
`
`BACKGROUND
`

`

`
`45
`
`Some argue that police shooting is racially-based, but
`there are evidence that show these police officers who
`commit these atrocities may be motivated by unconscious or
`implicit bias. There are research studies that support the
`notion that police professionals use more force, or be
`quicker to use force, against blacks due to a black-crime
`implicit bias producing greater perceptions of threat. Studies
`also support that
`implicit bias, once recognized, can be
`counteracted with repeated and intentional
`training and
`learning. However, implicit or explicit, the result is still the
`same—loss of innocent lives.
`
`60
`
`65
`
`Whether white or black, implicit or explicit bias, there is
`a desire to defuse and de-escalate tense situations between
`
`For many African Americans living in the United States,
`the threat of police brutality and shooting is an everyday
`reality. Black parents have “The Talk” with their children not
`of the birds and the bees, but how they must be obedient and
`compliant whenever they encounter the police.
`Police brutality and killing is a deeply-rooted problem
`According to a U.S. Department of Justice Special
`that cannot be easily and quickly addressed without multi-
`Report, in 2011, over 62.9 million U.S. residents had one or
`pronged persistent efforts. The concept described herein is
`more contacts with police. Of these contacts, over 31 million

`were involuntary, and 13 million are in the context of traffic
`stops. Relatively more black drivers (13%) than white (10%)

`population but only about 49 percent of those whoare killed
`bypolice officers. African Americans, however, account for
`24 percent of those fatally shot and killed by the police
`despite being just 13 percent of the U.S. population. These
`numbers mean black Americans are 2.5 times as likely as
`white Americansto be shot andkilled by police officers. U.S.
`police officers have shot and killed the exact same number
`of unarmed white people as they have unarmed black
`people: 50 each. But because the white population is
`approximately five times larger than the black population,
`unarmed black Americans were five times as likely as
`unarmed white Americans to be shot and killed by a police
`officer. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`
`
`
`360-degree camera 12 is preferably high definition and
`designed for mounting on the dash of a vehicle so that it can
`capture unobstructed video images of a user seated in the
`driver’s seat as well as the front passenger seat of the
`vehicle. An example of such a camera is a 1080p sports
`action camera, Chinavasion product code CVLM-DV141.
`Alternatively, the 360-degree camera may be mountable to
`the user’s mobile device itself, and utilize its cellular and
`Internet connectivity to live stream video data. In another
`alternate embodiment, a mobile device that has a built-in
`360-degree camera can be employed.
`In an alternate
`embodiment, the 360-degree camera 12 is joined by addi-
`tional video cameras mounted at different points of the
`user’s car, inside and/or outside the passenger compartment,
`to capture video footage from various vantage points to
`avoid obstacles that may block the view, such as someparts
`ofthe car or passengers in the car. The mobile lawyer app
`may incorporate images captured by OEM cameras on the
`vehicle. In yet another embodiment, a drone-based video
`camera 28 can be used to augmentthe live-streamed video
`data from an overhead vantage point. It is contemplated that
`the drone can be remotely controlled by either the user, a
`remote administrator, or the remote lawyer. Additionally, the
`remote administrator and/or lawyer may also be able to
`remotely control one or more other video cameras mounted
`inside and/or outside the passenger compartment. One or
`more of these cameras mayadditionally have intrared capa-
`bility to capture clear images in low ambient light condi-
`tions.

`the mobile lawyer app may
`In certain applications,
`employ video images captured by cameras native on a
`mobile device, such as the front and back-facing cameras on
`a mobile telephone. For example, if the mobile lawyer app
`is initiated and it detects that an externally-mounted 360-
`degree camera is not available, then it may automatically
`initiate operation of the built-in cameras.
`All of the captured live-stream video data (including
`audio) are transmitted (using cellular/Internet connectivity
`of the mobile device, the camera,or the vehicle) via a global
`computer network (Internet) and/or cellular mobile tele-
`phone network 14 to a remote server 16 and stored in a
`database 18, preferably encrypted to ensure privacy. The
`database 18 further stores the identities, credentials, states
`where licensed, contact information (e.g., address, email
`address, and mobile telephone number), and other informa-
`tion of lawyers licensed in various jurisdictions who have
`been vetted and contracted to be on call during certain days,
`time periods, and other work parameters to provide mobile
`lawyer services. The system 10 further includes a dash-
`mounted display monitor 20 such as the seven-inch LCD
`display, Chinavasion product code CVABR-LT298. A user
`may download andinstall the Mobile Lawyer App 22 onto
`his mobile phone 24 or another mobile device, such as a
`wearable device, for example. The video camera 12 and
`display screen 20 may directly communicate wireless to the
`server 16 and database 18 via the Internet/cellular network
`or via the mobile device 24. It is contemplated that the drone
`may be controlled by administrators or other employees of
`the mobile lawyer service and/or the remote lawyer.
`In operation, the user may initialize the Mobile Lawyer
`App 22 by setting up a profile with the name, address, phone
`number, age, sex, race, emergency contact, medical infor-
`mation, and other basic information. ‘he user may become
`a subscriber by agreeing to make monthly subscription
`payments to retain the services provided via the Mobile
`Lawyer App 22. There may be mulli-iered services avail-
`able tied to different subscription payment amounts. For
`example, the user may enter into an agreementto pay $9.99
`per month for the basic service level and $29.99 per month
`for a premium service level. The service levels may differ in
`the amount of coverage in terms of, e.g., hours and juris-
`diction. Once becoming a subscriber, the user is issued one
`or more stickers or decals that can be displayed on the
`vehicle (on the bumper, in the rear window,in the driver side
`window,etc.) to clearly mark and identify the user/driver as
`one that is protected by the Mobile Lawyer App 22.
`The user may initiate a Mobile Lawyer Consultation
`Session and live-stream video capture by the camera(s) by
`sending a request via the Mobile Lawyer App 22 on his/her
`mobile device 24. Once the request to live-stream video is
`received at the server 16, analert notification is sent to one
`or more lawyers licensed in the same jurisdiction as the
`current location of the user. The alert notification may be in
`the form ofa call, text message, email. and another form of
`message transmitted to and presented on a computing device
`26, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, and laptop
`computer that is equipped with a video camera. Thefirst
`lawyer who responds first to handle the consultation session
`can immediately view the live-streamed video information
`on a computing device. One or more different criteria may
`also be used to select the responding lawyer. In a preferred
`embodiment, the lawyerinterfaces with the system 10 via a
`web browser-based interface. As soon as
`a
`lawyer is
`assigned to handle the consultation session, his/her image as
`captured by his/her computing device 26 (transmitted via the
`cloud 14) along with his/her name is displayed on the
`

`dash-mounted monitor 20 in the user’s vehicle. Alterna-
`tively, if the user does not have a dash-mounted display
`monitor,
`the lawyer’s image is displayed by the user’s
`mobile device 24. In another alternate embodiment, a still
`imageofthe selected lawyer stored in the database may be
`displayed on the display monitor or mobile device if the
`lawyer is not able to participate via video.
`‘The Mobile Lawyer App 22 has GPS and mapping
`capabilities, or alternatively has access to these functions of
`the mobile phone, so that it may be able to pinpoint the
`location of the user and relay this information to the server
`16 so that this information maybe usedin selecting lawyers
`who mayrespondto the alert notification. When GPSis not
`available, location may be determined by triangulation of
`cellular towers that are in communication with the user’s
`mobile device.
`Referring to FIG. 2, a simplified flowchart of the mobile
`lawyer system and method is shown.In blocks 30 and 32, a
`request from the user is received by the mobile device to
`execute the Mobile Lawyer App. The user may click a
`button, use a verbal command, or turn on the 360-degree
`camera to initiate the consultation session. The video camera
`begins to capture video images inside and outside the
`vehicle and transmits the captured imagesin real-time to the
`remote server and database for storage, as shown in blocks
`34 and 36. A determination is madeas to the location of the
`user/vehicle, such as the city and state, as shownin block 38.
`In responseto the location of the user(i.e., jurisdiction), and
`possibly other criteria (e.g., ranking or rating of lawyers),
`one or more lawyers are selected andalerts are transmitted
`to their respective computing devices, as shownin blocks 40
`and 42. One or more responses are received from the
`lawyers, and oneis selected, as shown in blocks 44 and 46.
`‘The captured video data is immediately transmitted to the
`lawyer’s associated computing device, as shownin block 48.
`The lawyer’s computing device also captures video images
`of the lawyer and transmils it to the remote server, which in
`turn streams it to the display monitor located inside the
`user’s vehicle, as shown in block 50. Audio data captured of
`the lawyer are also transmitted to the user via either the
`display monitor or the user’s mobile device, as shownin
`block 52. In this manner, the lawyer has becomea third-
`party observer in a police encounter.
`The following is an exemplary scenario in which the
`Mobile Lawyer App 22 can be used. The user, driving his
`car, sees that a police squadcar is behind himwithits lights
`flashing. The user pulls the car to the side of the road, and
`upon stopping the car completely, immediately clicks on the
`Mobile Lawyer App icon displayed on the screen of his
`mobile phone 24 to execute the app. Alternatively,
`the
`Mobile Lawyer App 22 can be initiated by a verbal com-
`mand or by turning on the 360-degree camera. The user also
`connects the phone to the 360-degree camera and optionally
`to the displayscreen (via wireless or hard connections). The
`execution of the Mobile Lawyer App 22 turns on the
`360-degree camera 12 and beginslive-streaming video data
`either directly via the Internet/cellular network or via the
`mobile device 24. The server 16 also receives the request
`from the user and selects one or more licensed lawyers to
`send analert notification. ‘Vhe notification may be done via
`the attorney’s own mobile phone or computer, in the form of
`text message, a phonecall, or another formofalert. The first
`lawyer who responds immediately has access to the live-
`streaming video data. Additionally, the lawyer’s image is
`also immediately displayed on the dash-mounted monitor
`20. Alternatively, the same can be displayed on the screen of
`the mobile phone. Because the 360-degree camera 12 is

`mounted and positioned to optimally capture the actions of
`the user/driver as well as the police officer that steps up to
`the car and standing by the driver’s side door, the remotely-
`located lawyer can clearly see what is happening. Because
`of the 360-degree nature of the video camera, the actions of
`any passenger in the car andactivities that occur around the
`vehicle can be clearly captured. The lawyer’s speech can be
`relayed by a display screen that has audio speaker capability
`or through the speakers on the user’s mobile phone. The
`lawyer’s image is identified by name and other information
`that clearly identifies him/her as a licensed attorney for the
`jurisdiction in which the user is located. The licensed
`attorney can have a 360-degree view of the scene by
`accessing, the live streamed video from the video camera.
`Video data from additional camera angles from above and
`other vehicle-mounted and/or drone-mounted cameras are
`also live-streamed to the lawyer’s computing device. The
`live streamed videois, at the same time, stored in the cloud
`data storage 18.
`By the time the police officer steps up to the driver’s side
`window,the display screen 20 showsthe attorney’s face and
`identification, and the video camera is capturing and live
`streaming video data. When the police officer first comes
`into view, the lawyer may chooseto introduce him/herselfto
`ensure that the police officer is aware of his/her presence.
`During the interaction between the police officer and the
`user, the attorney may remain silent and only act as an
`observerto allow the police officer to do his/her job without
`obstruction. However, the lawyer may interject if and when
`the situation demands it, such as whenthe police officer’s
`demandoraction is illegal under the laws of that jurisdic-
`tion. The lawyer may also provide guidance to the user to
`cooperate with the police officer and serve as a calming
`influence in a scenario that may be tense for all parties
`involved.
`From the vantage point of the police officer, the presence
`of the lawyer as a third-party observer mayalso serve to
`alleviate concerns he/she may have about the user/driver and
`remove some of the tension. The police officer may be
`assured that the presence of the Mobile Lawyer meansthat
`the user will likely be compliant and notresist his reasonable

`
`comprehensive video recording of the incident that can be
`used to verify either party’s testimony.
`The Mobile Lawyer mayuse the attorney functionalities
`provided by the app such as taking down extemporaneous
`notes regarding his/her observation of the activities. The
`attorney function also includes capturing and storing of the
`video of the attorney in cloud storage. Additionally, when 5
`the action of the police officer is improper and exceeds the
`limits of legality. the Mobile Lawyer may access a police
`complaint form that may auto-fill certain data fields such as
`the date, time, and location of the stop, etc. Referring to FIG.
`3, the mobile lawyer may request to access a police com-
`plaint function, as shown in block 70. The server accesses
`the database to obtain data associated with the user, as well
`as data related to the incident, as shown in block 72. The
`server also obtains a template police complaint and pre-fills
`certain data fields with user data and incident data, as shown
`in blocks 74 and 76. For example, data fields such as user
`name, driver’s license identifier, home address, age, sex,
`incident date, incident time, and incident location can be
`pre-filled on the complaint form. The complaint form is then
`transmitted to the remote mobile lawyer, as shownin block
`78, so that it may be completed and submitted to the proper
`authorities to lodge a complaint.

`the Mobile Lawyer technology
`the hope that
`is
`Tt
`described herein can provide a desperately needed calming
`and tempering presence that can be called upon whenever a
`police encounter occurs. Not unlike having a legal adviser
`along, at all times, the Mobile Lawyer can be summoned to
`serve, observe, and provide legal guidance to the user in
`tense situations.
`The lawyer selection criteria is primarily jurisdictional
`due to the licensing requirements for lawyers. Secondarily,
`users may rate lawyers and those lawyers with poor rating
`may receiver fewer or no opportunities to respond to con-
`sultation requests.
`It should be noted that 360-degree camera described
`herein can be any camera that provides a wide field of view
`or a substantially panoramic field of view, and can include
`a single lens or multiple lenses. Multi-lens cameras capture
`multiple video streams that are stitched together by soft-
`ware. The term 360-degree camera should notbe interpreted
`herein to strictly include cameras that capture exactly 360-
`degrees field of view. The “360-degree camera” can be
`stand-alone or built-into the mobile device and/or the
`vehicle, and can be in one housing or multiple housings. The
`output 360-degree video can be the result of multiple video
`streams stitched. together to form the 360-degree view.
`It should be noted that it is contemplated herein that the
`functionalities of the video camera and display monitor can
`be combined and integrated into one housing. so that one
`integrated device is dash-mounted with video camera and
`display capabilities, as well as communicating with the
`remote server, either directly via the Internet/cellular net-
`work or through the user’s mobile device.
`It should be understoodthat user’s profile data, subscrip-
`tion information, and video data are protected by password
`and other security measures. Further, the lawyers’ profile
`and credential information are also protected by password
`and other security measures. To access these data, the users
`and lawyers must supply the correct login information. It
`should be noted that the word “video” used herein is used to
`denote video and/or audio.
`The features of the present invention which are believed
`to be novel are set forth below with particularity in the
`appended claims. However, modifications, variations, and
`changesto the exemplary embodiments described above will
`be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the system and
`method for Mobile Lawyer described herein thus encom-
`passes such modifications, variations, and changes and are
`not limited to the specific embodiments described hercin.
