Abstract
Embodiments relating to an interactive personal surveillance and security (IPSS) system are provided for one or more users carrying one or more respective wireless personal communication devices (WCDs) that are capable of capturing and sending surveillance information (e.g., video, images, audio, sensor data, etc.) to one or more remotely located servers (RLSs). From the information, the RLSs can identify and secure dangerous environments, encounters, etc., and log events or take other actions. In some embodiments, the RLS is designed to follow user-definable parameters that establish the level or type of interactivity and that determine when alarms or messages to third parties are needed.

1-9. (canceled)
A computer system designed to communicate with a remote wireless communication device (WCD), the computer system comprising:
- one or more memories that store computer program code;
- and
- one or more processors that execute the computer program code, the computer program code comprising:
- instructions to receive sensed data from the WCD that derives the sensed data with one or more sensors associated with the WCD;
- instructions to compare the sensed data with reference data;
- and
- instructions to communicate a message to the WCD indicating whether or not the sensed data involves an activity relating to a user need for assistance, an accident, or a crime, based upon the comparison.
(canceled)
A method for implementation in a computer system designed to communicate with a remote wireless communication device (WCD), the method comprising:
- receiving sensed data from the WCD that is derived from one or more sensors associated with the WCD;
- comparing the sensed data with reference data;
- communicating a message to the WCD indicating whether or not the sensed data involves an activity relating to a user need for assistance, an accident, or a crime, based at least in part upon the comparison.
A computer system designed to communicate with a remote wireless communication device (WCD), the computer system comprising:
- means for receiving sensed data from the WCD that is derived from one or more sensors associated with the WCD;
- means for comparing the sensed data with reference data;
- and
- means for communicating a message to the WCD indicating whether or not the sensed data involves an activity relating to a user need for assistance, an accident, or a crime, based at least in part upon the comparison.
