Emergency assistance method and device for a firearm

An emergency assistance device for a firearm, comprising:

• a housing having a mounting feature disposed on a first surface of the housing, the mounting feature adapted to selectively interconnect to a firearm;
• a first camera disposed on a second surface of the housing;
• a first light source disposed on the second surface of the housing;
• a second light source disposed on a third surface of the housing;
• a transceiver disposed in the housing, the transceiver configured to emit an emergency signal;
• an activation feature, wherein engagement of the activation feature causes at least one of:
• the first camera to record a video;
• the first light source to emit a light;
• and
• the transceiver to emit the emergency signal;
• wherein said emergency assistance device further comprises a button on the emergency assistance device to cause the transceiver to emit an emergency signal, said emergency assistance device being positioned at a fore end of a weapon so that unintentional activation of said button is reduced;
• a second camera disposed on a third surface of the housing, wherein the first light source has a first recordation field and the second light source has a second recordation field, wherein at least a portion of the first recordation field overlaps at least a portion of the second recordation field;
• a receiver for gathering position data;
• and
• wherein the housing comprises a recess that corresponds to a trigger guard of the firearm.

A system for transmitting an emergency signal from a firearm to a remote user, comprising:

• a firearm having a first mounting feature;
• an emergency assistance device, comprising:
• a second mounting feature configured to selectively interconnect to the first mounting feature of the firearm;
• a first transceiver configured to emit an emergency signal;
• an activation feature, wherein engagement of the activation feature causes the first transceiver to emit the emergency signal;
• a second transceiver configured to receive the emergency signal emitted from the first transceiver of the emergency assistance device, said second transceiver possessed by the remote user;
• a speaker disposed on the emergency assistance device, wherein the speaker is configured to receive an audio signal from the first transceiver and generate a corresponding sound;
• and
• a microphone disposed on the emergency assistance device, wherein the microphone is configured to record a sound and send an audio signal to the first transceiver, and wherein the first transceiver of the emergency assistance device and the second transceiver possessed by the remote user, establish a two-way communication;
• wherein said emergency assistance device further comprises a button on the emergency assistance device to cause the transceiver to emit an emergency signal, said emergency assistance device being positioned at a fore end of a weapon so that unintentional activation of said button is reduced;
• and
• a plurality of microphones disposed on the emergency assistance device, wherein the plurality of microphones is configured to detect an amplitude of a sound.
