Abstract
Systems and methods for managing an emergency situation are provided herein. According to some embodiments, the present technology may related to a security system and method for monitoring, detecting, and providing notification and/or response measures in response to an emergency situation regarding a user.
Claims15
A method for activating a response measure on an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a processor and a memory for storing logic, the processor executing the logic to perform the method comprising:
- activating a pre-triggering phase of operation of the electronic device;
- allowing a user to provide input into the electronic device to defeat the pre-triggering phase within a specified period of time, wherein when another input is received during the pre-triggering phase, a response measure is immediately activated;
- selectively changing a monitoring sensitivity of the electronic device from a first sensitivity level to a second sensitivity level, during the pre-triggering phase of operation;
- receiving, from one or more sensors included in the electronic device, signals indicative of an orientation and a position of the electronic device;
- detecting a sudden or a threshold exceeding change to the orientation and the position of the electronic device;
- and
- transmitting a message indicative of the orientation and the position of the electronic device as the response measure to any of:
- another electronic device that is communicatively coupled with the electronic device;
- and
- one or more predetermined recipients based on the detection of the sudden or a threshold exceeding change.
7 more elements
An alert device comprising:
- one or more sensors capable of sensing a sudden change in any of orientation or position of an alert device;
- and
- a processor and memory, the memory storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to:
- activate a pre-triggering phase of operation of the alert device;
- allow a user to provide input into the alert device to defeat the pre-triggering phase within a specified period of time, wherein when another input is received during the pre-triggering phase, a response measure is immediately activated;
- selectively changing a monitoring sensitivity of the alert device from a first sensitivity level to a second sensitivity level, during the pre-triggering phase of operation;
- detect the emergency situation based on sensing the sudden change in an orientation of the alert device;
- and
- transmit a message indicative of the orientation of the alert device of the alert device as the response measure to any of:
- a mobile device with which the alert device is communicatively coupled over a short range wireless connection;
- and
- a server that initiates a predetermined response measure that includes at least placing an emergency call to one or more of 911, PSAP station, call center or a predetermined individual or individuals.
