Abstract
A configurable site safety system includes a plurality of wearable signaling devices, each with an array of independently addressable lighting elements, a location receiver and one or more communication interfaces. The system may also include a site safety server to track location information received from at least each of the signaling devices, and to cause, based on a subset of the plurality of signaling devices satisfying defined geographical, event-based or other defined criteria, the lighting array of each of the subset of signaling devices to display a defined lighting scheme.
Claims44
A site safety system, comprising:
- a plurality of signaling devices;
- a configurable site safety server having one or more processors that is communicatively coupled to the plurality of signaling devices;
- and
- at least one memory, the memory including instructions that, upon execution by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the configurable site safety server to:
- track location information received from each of the plurality of signaling devices;
- and
- cause, based at least in part on a subset of the plurality of signaling devices satisfying one or more defined criteria, a lighting array of each of the subset of signaling devices to display a defined lighting scheme.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing servers configured as at least part of a configurable site safety system, location tracking information from each of a plurality of signaling devices;
- causing, by the one or more configured computing servers and in response to the received location tracking information, at least a portion of a user interface of a client computing device to display a visual indication of a current location of each of at least some of the plurality of signaling devices;
- receiving site configuration information associated with a geographical location;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more configured computing servers and based on the received site configuration information, one or more control signals to at least a subset of the plurality of signaling devices, the transmitted control signals causing a lighting array of each of the subset of signaling devices to display a defined lighting scheme in accordance with the received configuration information.
A signaling device, comprising:
- a controller;
- a lighting array that includes a plurality of individually addressable light emitters;
- a global positioning interface;
- one or more wireless communication interfaces;
- wherein, in operation, the controller:
- provides, to a server via at least one of the one or more wireless communication interfaces, positioning data received via the global positioning interface;
- receives, based at least in part on the provided positioning data, one or more control signals from the server via the one or more wireless communication interfaces;
- and
- in response to the one or more control signals, causes the lighting array to display a defined lighting scheme.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing servers configured as at least part of a configurable site safety system, tracking information from each of a plurality of signaling devices;
- receiving site configuration information associated with a geographical location;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more configured computing servers and based at least in part on both the received tracking information and the received site configuration information, one or more control signals to at least a subset of the plurality of signaling devices, the transmitted control signals causing each of the subset of signaling devices to provide one or more user notifications in accordance with the received configuration information.
