Abstract
Emergency situation detection apparatus (12) comprises: a stress input unit for receiving body stress information from a subject (10), a physical input unit for receiving body physical reaction data (14) from said subject (10), a comparator unit (20), associated with said stress input unit and said physical input unit, for comparing stress level information and physical reaction data, to detect substantially simultaneous stress level change and a physical reaction in said subject (10), said apparatus being operable to threshold said simultaneous detection to infer the presence of an emergency situation and to enter an alarm state.

Emergency situation detection apparatus comprising:
- a stress input unit for receiving body stress information from a subject,
- a physical input unit for receiving body physical reaction data from said subject,
- a comparator unit, associated with said stress input unit and said physical input unit, for comparing stress level information and physical reaction data, to detect substantially simultaneous stress level change and a physical reaction in said subject,
- said apparatus being operable to threshold said simultaneous detection to infer the presence of an emergency situation and to enter an alarm state.
Emergency situation detection method comprising:
- receiving body stress level information from a subject,
- receiving body physical reaction data from said subject,
- comparing stress level information and physical reaction data, to detect substantially simultaneous stress level change and physical reaction in said subject, and
- thresholding said simultaneous detection to infer the presence of an emergency situation and to enter an alarm state.
A system comprising rule based logic and at least one body sensor for location on a subject, the subject being expected to follow certain behavioral rules, said at least one sensor being usable in combination with said rule based logic to detect non-compliance with said behavioral rules, thereby to indicate an abnormal situation.
A direction sensor for mounting on a mobile body, said direction sensor comprising a compass needle and functionality for measuring an angle of said compass needle in relation to a reference, said direction sensor being configured for mounting in orientation fixed manner on said mobile body.
Emergency situation detection apparatus comprising:
- a physiological input unit for receiving body physiological information from a subject,
- a physical input unit for receiving body physical reaction data from said subject,
- a logic unit, associated with said physiological input unit and said physical input unit, for applying at least one logical operation simultaneously to said physiological information and said physical information, to infer the presence of an emergency situation and to enter an alarm state.
Central co-ordination unit for controlling a plurality of remotely located emergency situation detectors, each detector comprising:
- a stress input unit for receiving body stress information from a subject,
- a physical input unit for receiving body physical reaction data from said subject,
- a comparator unit, associated with said stress input unit and said physical input unit, for comparing stress level information and physical reaction data, to detect substantially simultaneous stress level change and a physical reaction in said subject,
- said apparatus being operable to threshold said simultaneous detection to infer the presence of an emergency situation and to enter an alarm state,
- said co-ordination unit comprising an alarm unit for indicating that one of said detectors has entered an alarm state and a contact unit for contacting and providing a location of said one of said detectors having entered said alarm state.
Central co-ordination unit for controlling a plurality of remotely located emergency situation detectors, each detector comprising:
