Abstract
An apparatus and method comprising of a remote microphone, attached to a portable radio, incorporating a motion sensing component, such as a Solid State Accelerometer, and an orientation sensing component, such as a Solid State Gyroscope or a multidirectional Solid State Accelerometer and activated by the wearer's motionlessness and subsequently activates the Emergency Alert and sends out an audible distress signal, a radio frequency (RF) distress signal, or both, as if the wearer had pressed the Emergency Alert button.
Claims16
A motion sensing remote microphone for use in portable radios comprising of a motion and orientation sensing device incorporated into said remote microphone (6) and powered by same supply characterized in that said motion/orientation sensing device includes a Solid State Accelerometer and/or a Solid State Gyroscope and/or a multidirectional Solid State Accelerometer (6) have programmable features for time delay activated by combinational variables of time and orientation and the emergency Alert (4) is electronically activated after a set amount of motionlessness when the longitudinal axis of the remote microphone (6) is oriented equal or greater than a set number of degrees away from the vertical plane.
