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.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- upon determining, by a server, an obstacle within a predetermined proximity to a location of a wearable device:
- generating, by the server, an instruction to present a warning notification corresponding to a distance between the location of the wearable device and the obstacle;
- and
- transmitting, by the server, the instruction to the wearable device, whereby upon receiving the instruction, the wearable device presents the warning notification, wherein the server determines a location of the obstacle based on a map associated with the location of the wearable device.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a server comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- upon determining an obstacle within a predetermined proximity to a wearable device:
- generating an instruction to present a warning notification corresponding to a distance of a location of the wearable device and the obstacle;
- and
- transmitting the instruction to the wearable device, whereby upon receiving the instruction, the wearable device presents the warning notification, wherein the server determines a location of the obstacle based on a map associated with the location of the wearable device.
2 more elements
A wearable device having a processor configured to:
- receive an instruction to present a warning notification corresponding to a distance of a location of the wearable device and an obstacle, wherein a server generates the instruction upon determining that the obstacle is located within a predetermined proximity to the wearable device, wherein the server determines a location of the obstacle based on a map associated with the location of the wearable device;
- and
- present the warning notification.
