Abstract
An apparatus for a personal security alarm includes an alerting device with an alerting element, and an alarm device that activates an alarm in response to receiving an alert signal from the alerting device. The alarm device is in wireless communication with the alerting device and the alarm includes an audible alarm and/or a visible alarm. The apparatus includes one or more activation elements formed to activate the alerting device where the alerting element sends the alert signal to the alarm device in response to receiving an activation signal from the one or more activation elements.
Claims20
A wearable device comprising:
- an alarm;
- one or more activation circuits;
- a processor;
- a cellular communication circuit;
- a non-cellular communication circuit;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- determining a loss of communication with a personal computing device based upon a signal from the non-cellular communication circuit;
- in response to the signal, activating the cellular communication circuit;
- and
- wirelessly sending, via the cellular communication circuit, an alert signal comprising a notification to one or more predefined contacts in response to the loss of communication with the personal computing device.
A system comprising:
- an alarm;
- a processor;
- a cellular communication circuit;
- one or more activation circuits;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a user interacting with the one or more activation circuits in a predefined selection sequence;
- in response to detecting the user interacting with the one or more activation circuits in the predefined selection sequence, activating one or more functions of the alarm;
- and
- sending, via the cellular communication circuit, an alert signal comprising a notification to one or more predefined contacts in response to detecting the user interacting with the one or more activation circuits in the predefined selection sequence.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a wearable device, a user input through one or more activation circuits of the wearable device;
- in response to receiving the user input, determining, by the processor of the wearable device, a group of contacts comprising two or more contacts;
- and
- wirelessly sending, via a cellular communication component of the wearable device, an automated voice message to the two or more contacts of the contact group.
