Abstract
The present invention includes a device for the transmission of a distress signal utilizing solving a graphic overlay to initiate the transmission of the distress signal. The distress signal can be transmitted discreetly and with the device's current GPS location and/or pre-loaded user profile information and/or continuing to connect the now confirmed intended Distress Signal.
Claims12
A distress signal transmission device comprising:
- a computer with a body and having an arithmetic logic unit (“ALU”), a nontransitory computer-readable storage medium in signaled communication with said ALU, a display on said body having a touch digitizer;
- and a transmitter for the transmission of data to an external entity;
- a distress routine, recited within said storage medium, having the device's current GPS location and/or pre-loaded user profile information having access to an emergency contact database, and adapted to transmit a distress signal bearing an emergency distress category to an emergency assistance provider while divulging said user profile information;
- and
- a two-dimensional graphic overlay, graphically exhibited on said display, having
- a graphic path length and path direction variable in two-dimensions, whereby an uninterrupted physical trace along an alarm path length of, and co-extensive with, said graphic overlay answers a solution that initiates said distress signal;
- and
- an obfuscation routine adapted to minimize indications of at least one of said graphic overlay and said distress routine subsequent to the activation thereof.
