## Abstract

A safety wearable device including a band, a controller chip, an acknowledgment button and a display screen. The band is configured to be worn around a wearer's wrist and the band includes a first strap member and a second strap member. The first strap member includes a plurality of apertures and the second strap member includes a ring and a closure fastener mechanism. The first strap member threads through the ring of the second strap member so that one of the plurality of apertures is received by the closure fastener mechanism to securely attach the band to the wearer's wrist. The controller chip is attached to the band for transmitting and receiving signals and the controller chip includes a vibrating mechanism to notify the wearer when an incoming message has been received. The acknowledgment button is attached to the controller chip and an acknowledgment signal is transmitted from the device when the acknowledgment button is depressed. The display screen for displaying messages received at the device.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A safety wearable device comprising:
a band configured to be worn around a wearer's wrist, the band including a first strap
member and a second strap member, the first strap member including a plurality of apertures, the second strap member including a ring and a closure fastener mechanism, wherein the first strap member threads through the ring of the second strap member so that one of the plurality of apertures is received by the closure fastener mechanism to securely attach the band to the wearer's wrist;
a controller chip attached to the band for transmitting and receiving signals, the controller chip including a vibrating mechanism to notify the wearer when an incoming message has been received, and wherein the controller chip transmits an acknowledgment signal to a remote requester upon depressing of an acknowledgment button;
the acknowledgment button is attached to the controller chip, and the wearer depresses the acknowledgment button to send an acknowledgment signal indicating that the wearer is safe to the remote requester in response to receiving a confirm safety request from the requester; and
a display screen for displaying messages received at the device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)
