Abstract
A configurable site safety system includes a plurality of wearable signaling devices, each with an array of independently addressable lighting elements, a location receiver and one or more communication interfaces. The system may also include a site safety server to track location information received from at least each of the signaling devices, and to cause, based on a subset of the plurality of signaling devices satisfying defined geographical, event-based or other defined criteria, the lighting array of each of the subset of signaling devices to display a defined lighting scheme.
Claims16
A site safety system, comprising:
- a plurality of signaling devices;
- a configurable site safety server having one or more processors that is communicatively coupled to the plurality of signaling devices, the configurable site safety server being remotely located from a geographical location of the plurality of signaling devices;
- one or more base station devices that are proximate to the geographical location and that are distinct and separate from the plurality of signaling devices, wherein the configurable site safety server is communicatively coupled to the plurality of signaling devices via the one or more base station devices;
- and
- at least one memory, the memory including instructions that, upon execution by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the configurable site safety server to:
- track location information received from each of the plurality of signaling devices;
- and
- cause, based at least in part on a subset of the plurality of signaling devices satisfying one or more defined criteria, a lighting array of each of the subset of signaling devices to display a defined lighting scheme.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing servers configured as at least part of a configurable site safety system, tracking information from each of a plurality of signaling devices, wherein the one or more configured computing servers are remotely located from a geographical location of the plurality of signaling devices, and wherein at least a portion of the tracking information is received from the plurality of signaling devise via one or more base station devices that are proximate to the geographical location and distinct and separate from the plurality of signaling devices;
- receiving site configuration information associated with the geographical location;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more configured computing servers and based at least in part on both the received tracking information and the received site configuration information, one or more control signals to at least a subset of the plurality of signaling devices, the transmitted control signals causing each of the subset of signaling devices to provide one or more user notifications in accordance with the received configuration information.
