Abstract
A method may include receiving location communications from multiple wearable devices that indicate locations of the multiple wearable devices. The method may also include determining the locations of the multiple wearable devices based on the location communications. The method may also include receiving a request communication from a wearable device of the multiple wearable devices that indicates that a user of the wearable device requests assistance.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving location communications from multiple wearable devices that indicate locations of the multiple wearable devices;
- determining the locations of the multiple wearable devices based on the location communications;
- and
- receiving a request communication from a wearable device of the multiple wearable devices that indicates that a user of the wearable device requests assistance.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- multiple wearable devices, each wearable device of the multiple wearable devices comprising:
- a location sensor configured to determine a location of a corresponding wearable device of the multiple wearable devices;
- a communication module communicatively coupled to the location sensor to receive location data from the location sensor describing the location of the corresponding wearable device, the communication module configured to generate a location communication including a description of the location of the corresponding wearable device;
- a communication interface communicatively coupled to the communication module to receive the location communication, the communication interface configured to wirelessly transmit the location communication to a mobile device, the communication interface further configured to receive a feedback instruction from the mobile device;
- and
- a motor communicatively coupled to the communication interface to receive the feedback instruction, the motor configured to generate haptic feedback in response to receipt of the feedback instruction that includes data to cause the motor to generate the haptic feedback.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium communicatively coupled to the processor and having stored thereon computer instructions that cause the processor to execute:
- receiving location communications from multiple wearable devices that include location data for the multiple wearable devices;
- determining the locations of the multiple wearable devices based on the location data using wireless triangulation;
- and
- generating a user interface that includes graphics that display the locations of the multiple wearable devices from which the location communications are received.
