Abstract
The methods and systems disclosed herein provide a server that periodically monitors a user's location using one or more beacons while periodically monitoring hazardous conditions using a variety of electronic sensors, such as thermographic imaging. When the user is within a predetermined proximity of a hazardous condition the server transmits an instruction to an electronic wearable device to present a notification (e.g., haptic, noise, and the like) warning the user of the hazardous condition.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- periodically monitoring, by a server, location of a wearable electronic user device by periodically receiving, via the wearable electronic user device, at least one unique identifier associated with one or more beacons;
- periodically receiving, by the server, obstacle data from one or more electronic sensors, the obstacle data corresponding to an image of one or more obstacles within a first predetermined proximity to the location of the wearable electronic user device monitored via the one or more beacons;
- upon determining an obstacle within a second predetermined proximity to the location of the wearable electronic user device monitored via the one or more beacons:
- generating, by the server, an instruction to present a warning notification, wherein the warning notification corresponds to the second predetermined proximity value between the location of the wearable electronic user device and the obstacle;
- and
- transmitting, by the server, the instruction to the wearable electronic user device, whereby upon receiving the instruction, wearable electronic user device presents the warning notification.
3 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- one or more beacons configured to transmit unique identifiers;
- one or more electronic sensors configured to capture and transmit image data;
- a wearable electronic user device configured to receive unique identifiers from the one or more beacons and further configured to present a warning notification;
- and
- a server in communication with the one or more beacons and the one or more electronic sensors, the server configured to:
- periodically monitor location of the wearable electronic user device by periodically receiving, via the wearable electronic user device, at least one unique identifier associated with one or more beacons;
- periodically receive obstacle data from one or more electronic sensors, the obstacle data corresponding to an image of one or more obstacles within a first predetermined proximity to the location of the wearable electronic user device monitored via the one or more beacons;
- upon determining an obstacle within a second predetermined proximity to the location of the wearable electronic user device monitored via the one or more beacons:
- generate an instruction to present a warning notification, wherein the warning notification corresponds to a proximity value between the location of the wearable electronic user device and the obstacle;
- and
- transmit the instruction to the wearable electronic user device, whereby upon receiving the instruction, wearable electronic user device presents the warning notification.
8 more elements
A method comprising:
- periodically monitoring, by a server, location of a wearable electronic user device by periodically receiving, via the wearable electronic user device, at least one unique identifier associated with one or more beacons;
- upon determining the location of the wearable electronic user device, retrieving, by the server, a hazard map within a first proximity of the location of the wearable electronic user device where the server identifies at least one beacon associated with the hazard;
- upon receiving, via the wearable electronic user device, a unique identifier of at least one beacon associated with the hazard and upon determining that the location of the wearable electronic user device is within a second proximity to the hazard:
- generating, by the server, an instruction to present a warning notification, wherein the warning notification corresponds to the second proximity value between the location of the wearable electronic user device and the hazard;
- and
- transmitting, by the server, the instruction to the wearable electronic user device, whereby upon receiving the instruction, wearable electronic user device presents the warning notification.
