Abstract
The facility emergency alert system assists people during an emergency by providing locational aid and advice to the user and others involved. Some examples of emergencies that this system will be utilized includes providing directions for people to the safest exits in the event of a fire, providing directions to individuals in need, ensuring registered criminals do not enter certain buildings, alerting a supervisor in the event of an employee in distress, protecting children from wandering away or from being abducted in monitored public areas and providing assistance in order to perform a controlled evacuation in a building. This system will utilize a combination Bluetooth and WIFI technology to locate the where specific devices are located.
This system will be capable of corresponding with people through interfaces including but not limited to personal devices such as desktops, laptops, phones, smartwatches, smart glasses and tablets, public displays and indicator lights.

Description
Background Of The Invention In the past, people have been left in emergencies to respond according to how they have been instructed to in the past or by acting off natural instinct.
However, the problem with this is that it leaves plenty of room for error as people tend to panic and become forgetful in emergencies. Furthermore, people will rarely take the time to review the emergency protocol for most buildings hey enter as they do not think of it until it is too late.
With the conventional system out there, you do not have enough time in an emergency to read up on the emergency protocol and react within a timely manner. As time is everything in emergency situations, it is better to eliminate as much thinking as possible in order to minimize human error. As GPS
usually becomes unusable and unreliable indoors, this is where WIFI and Bluetooth can be used to provide positioning services.
Other companies have focused mainly on providing users with indoor location services in order to find stores within a mall for convenience, while this system has been designed to improve on this by focusing on providing safety features that keep the public safe.
This system has been designed to bring the next evolution in emergency solutions over a variety of different services by utilizing the same core technology.
Detailed Description Of The Invention The facility emergency alert system assists people during an emergency by providing locational aid and advice to the user and others involved. An application that will be available to the user will be able to provide them with an indoor positioning service if the system has been installed in the building. Furthermore, the application will be able to send out distress calls to first responders and anyone who may be able help nearby, such as security. The application will also have the capabilities to contain updated first aid information on how to respond in certain medical emergencies.
In the event of a fire, this application will be able to provide the route to the safest exit for people inside the building. As you enter the building, you can have the setting turned on to automatically download the floor plan of the building to the device, so it will be ready in the event of a fire. The application will send the user a distress notification in the event of a fire.
This system has the potential to be expanded on to allow for cameras and fire alarms to work with it to allow the system to locate where the fire is. First responders will be able to use the locations of the devices to locate anyone inside. Firetrucks and firefighters could be outfitted with routers that would allow them to pick up signals from inside to locate people in the event that all of the routers indoors become unavailable.
In the event of someone suffering from an injury, they will be able to send a distress call with their location to people who can help nearby. An example of this is if someone is suffering from a heart attack, they will be able to alert first responders and give them the precise location to go.
This system has the potential for protect people from registered criminals through the utilization of bracelets that the registered criminals are forced to wear. If a bracelet enters a zone that is covered by the facility emergency alert system, it will be able to set off an alarm and alert the authorities with the ID of the bracelet holder and the location.
An example of where this could be implemented is in schools if a registered criminal was to step within the range of the system on school property, it could automatically alert authorities and send the school into lockdown for the safety of the students and faculty members.
In the event of an injury on a worksite, this system would be able to notify the supervisor to alert them with information including what employee is in distress and where.
Supervisors on the jobsite will be able to utilize this technology in the event of a worker sending out a distress call either manually or automatically through their device in order to provide a quick response in situations where time is important. This distress call will contain information such as the worker's location, heart rate (with certain devices) and who the employee is.
If this system was implemented outdoors or in a public area, the system could alert parents in the event that their child wanders a certain distance away from them. This could either be from the child wandering away by their own means or by the child being abducted.
In the event of a public disturbance because of a shooting or terrorist attack, you would be able to be notified on how to safely evacuate the area if you are in a dangerous zone. This method of controlled evacuation could be implemented by the authorities for the safety of the public.
The system will utilize a combination of Bluetooth and WIFI networks to tell where devices are located. The system will be capable of expanding to GPS with further development but will mainly focus on BLE and WIFI. A combination of BLE and WIFI may or may nt be used depending on the size of a building, the accuracy required and if there is any pre-existing infrastructure that could be utilized.
This system will be capable of corresponding with people through interfaces including but not limited to personal devices such as desktops, laptops, phones, smartwatches, smart glasses and tablets, public displays and indicator lights. People will also be able to utilize smart bracelets with this system that will help track their heart rate and location to allow first responders to find them in the event of an emergency. This will be able to be utilized in scenarios including but not limited to monitoring the elderly, locating criminals, ensuring workplace safety and monitoring children in public areas.
The system will be capable of being grown to work in cooperation with other software in order to provide hybrid services for both indoor and outdoor emergency and security location services.
Data that will be gathered through the system with the users' permission can be used by companies or emergency response teams to show where they are located in a building, which can be used in an emergency to help safely evacuate people and ensure their safety.
