Abstract
A wearable device detects a security incident and initiates an alarm protocol. The wearable receives user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress; confirms that the user is under duress by receiving initial confirmatory user input via the user interface; determines a location of the user using the location device; and in response to receiving confirmation that the user is under duress, transmits a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.
Claims22
A wearable device configured for being worn on a body of a user and initiating an alarm protocol, the wearable device comprising:
- a processing device;
- a communication device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a user interface operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a location device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a memory device operatively coupled with the processing device, the memory device comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- activate the wearable device based on the wearable device being located within a predefined geofenced area, wherein the wearable device is deactivated when the wearable device is located outside the predefined geofenced area;
- receive user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area;
- request confirmatory user input from the user via the user interface;
- determine that the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area by receiving no user tactile input within a predetermine period of time after the request for confirmatory user input;
- determine a location of the user within the predefined geofenced area using the location device;
- and
- in response to determining that the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area, transmit a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user within the predefined geofenced area, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.

- a location device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a memory device operatively coupled with the processing device, the memory device comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- activate the wearable device based on the wearable device being located within a predefined geofenced area, wherein the wearable device is deactivated when the wearable device is located outside the predefined geofenced area;
- receive user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area;
- request confirmation from the user indicating whether the user is under duress or not via the user interface;
- determine a location within the predefined geofenced area of the user using the location device;
- wherein the processing device is configured to:
- in response to receiving no user tactile input within a predetermined period of time after the request for confirmation indicating whether the user is under duress, transmit a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user within the predefined geofenced area;
- and
- in response to receiving user input denying that the user is under duress, standing down without transmitting the duress signal, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.

A method for alerting an emergency system when a user wearing a wearable device is under duress, the method comprising:
- activating the wearable device based on the wearable device being located within a predefined geofenced area, wherein the wearable device is deactivated when the wearable device is located outside the predefined geofenced area;
- receiving user input via a user interface of the wearable device indicating that the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area;
- requesting confirmation from the user indicating whether the user in under duress or not via the user interface;
- determining a location of the user within the predefined geofenced area using a location device of the wearable device;
- receiving user input via the user interface either confirming the user is under duress within the predefined geofenced area or denying the user is under duress;
- in response to determining that the that the user is under duress by receiving no user tactile input within a predetermined period of time after the request for confirmatory user input, transmitting, a duress signal to an emergency system from the wearable device and across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user within the predefined geofenced area, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident;
- and
- in response to receiving user input denying that the user is under duress, standing down without transmitting the duress signal.
