Abstract
A wearable device detects a security incident and initiates an alarm protocol. The wearable receives user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress; confirms that the user is under duress by receiving initial confirmatory user input via the user interface; determines a location of the user using the location device; and in response to receiving confirmation that the user is under duress, transmits a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.
Claims22
A wearable device configured for being worn on a body of a user and detecting a security incident and initiating an alarm protocol, the wearable device comprising:
- a processing device;
- a communication device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a user interface operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a location device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a memory device operatively coupled with the processing device, the memory device comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress;
- confirm that the user is under duress by receiving initial confirmatory user input via the user interface;
- determine a location of the user using the location device;
- and
- in response to receiving confirmation that the user is under duress, transmit a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.
A wearable device configured for being worn on a body of a user and detecting a security incident and initiating an alarm protocol, the wearable device comprising:
- a processing device;
- a communication device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a user interface operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a location device operatively coupled with the processing device;
- a memory device operatively coupled with the processing device, the memory device comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processing device, cause the processing device to:
- receive user input via the user interface indicating that the user is under duress;
- request confirmation from the user indicating whether the user in under duress or not via the user interface;
- determine a location of the user using the location device;
- receive user input via the user interface either confirming the user is under duress or denying the user is under duress;
- wherein the processing device is configured to:
- in response to receiving user input confirming that the user is under duress, transmit a duress signal to an emergency system across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user;
- and
- in response to receiving user input denying that the user is under duress, standing down without transmitting the duress signal, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident.
A method for alerting an emergency system when a user wearing a wearable device is under duress, the method comprising:
- receiving user input via a user interface of the wearable device indicating that the user is under duress;
- requesting confirmation from the user indicating whether the user in under duress or not via the user interface;
- determining a location of the user using a location device of the wearable device;
- receiving user input via the user interface either confirming the user is under duress or denying the user is under duress;
- in response to receiving user input confirming that the user is under duress, transmitting, a duress signal to an emergency system from the wearable device and across a wireless network connection, the duress signal indicating that the user is under duress and indicating the location of the user, whereby the emergency system is configured to alert police and/or security of the security incident;
- and
- in response to receiving user input denying that the user is under duress, standing down without transmitting the duress signal.
