Abstract
An alert communication device, an alert activation device, and an alert management system are provided. The alert management system may include one or more alert communication devices communicatively coupled to one or more other alert communication devices and configured to provide one or more of a visual alert and an audio alert and one or more alert activation devices communicatively coupled to at least one alert communication device of the one or more alert communication devices.
Claims16
An alert communication device comprising:
- a first transceiver configured to communicatively couple the alert communication device with one or more other alert communication devices via a first communication path;
- a second transceiver configured to communicatively couple the alert communication device with the one or more other alert communication devices via a second communication path;
- a third transceiver configured to communicatively couple the alert communication device with one or more alert activation devices via a third communication path;
- and
- one or more of:
- a visual alert system, wherein the visual alert system includes a plurality of electronically-controlled lights configured to provide a plurality of visual alerts, and
- an audio alert system
- wherein the alert communication device is configured to:
- receive an alert signal from a first alert activation device of the one or more alert activation devices;
- and
- transmit the alert signal to the one or more other alert communication devices via the first communication path and wherein the alert communication device is configured to indicate at least a portion of an access path between a predefined first location and a location of the first alert activation device in response to receiving the alert signal from the first alert activation device, wherein the access path is depicted by the plurality of electronically-controlled lights.
8 more elements
An alert activation device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicatively couple the alert activation device to at least one alert communication device;
- and
- two or more activation buttons communicatively coupled to the transceiver;
- wherein the alert activation device is configured to transmit an alert signal via the transceiver in response to a user engaging at least one of the two or more alert activation buttons, wherein a type of alert signal transmitted by the transceiver is based upon, at least in part, a plurality of alert activation button press configurations, wherein the at least one alert communication device is configured to indicate at least a portion of an access path between a predefined first location and the location of the alert activation device when transmitting the alert signal using a visual alert system that includes a plurality of electronically-controlled lights configured to provide a plurality of visual alerts along the access path.
1 more element
A alert management system comprising:
- one or more alert communication devices communicatively coupled to one or more other alert communication devices and configured to provide one or more of a visual alert and an audio alert;
- and
- one or more alert activation devices communicatively coupled to at least one alert communication device of the one or more alert communication devices;
- wherein the alert management system is configured to:
- receive, at the one or more alert communication devices, an alert signal from a first alert activation device of the one or more alert activation devices;
- and
- indicate, via the one or more alert communication devices, an access path between a predefined first location and a location of the first alert activation device in response to receiving the alert signal from the first alert activation device, wherein the one or more alert communication devices are configured to indicate at least a portion of the access path between a predefined first location and the location of the alert activation device when transmitting the alert signal using a visual alert system that includes a plurality of electronically-controlled lights configured to provide a plurality of visual alerts along the access path.
