Abstract
Example implementations relate to a fiber-shaped device for transmitting a distress signal to a remote computer. The fiber-shaped device includes a sensor, an analysis module that determines if a sensor signal from the sensor includes a trigger signal, and a wireless communication module to transmit a distress signal to a remote computer when the sensor signal includes the trigger signal.
Claims15
A device comprising:
- a substrate that is fiber-shaped;
- a sensor;
- an analysis module to determine if a sensor signal from the sensor includes a trigger signal;
- and
- a wireless communication module to transmit a distress signal to a remote computer in response to the analysis module determining that the sensor signal includes the trigger signal,
- wherein at least one of the sensor, the analysis module, and the wireless communication module are embedded in the substrate.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a sensor signal from a sensor;
- determining, by an analysis module, if the sensor signal includes a trigger signal;
- and
- transmitting a distress signal from a wireless communication module to a remote computer in response to determining that the sensor signal includes the trigger signal,
- wherein the sensor, the analysis module, and the wireless communication module form part of a fiber-shaped device.
2 more elements
A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a distress signal sent by a fiber-shaped device upon the device determining that a sensor embedded in the device received a trigger signal;
- prepare responder information after receiving the distress signal;
- and
- transmit the responder information to a responder receiver.
