Abstract

The wearable emergency alert system assists people during an emergency by providing locational aid and heart rate monitoring for the user, which can be utilized by others involved. Some examples that this wearable emergency alert system will be utilized includes providing first responders with the location of an individual in distress, alerting the user in the event of an emergency, ensuring registered criminals do not enter certain buildings and protecting children from wandering away or from being abducted in monitored public areas. This system will utilize a combination Bluetooth, WIFI and GPS technology based on the model selected to locate the where device is located. This system will be packaged into a weatherproof, shockproof and dustproof band that will be located around the human body. The band will be available to be locked onto a user to avoid the band being taken off which is desired in certain applications.

Description

Background Of The Invention In the past, people have been left in personal emergencies to try and contact someone for help. However, the problem with this is that it leaves the option for someone to have to suffer until they can find someone or find a means of contacting someone which even then may take too long as the person may succumb to their injuries before then. Even then, once they find someone, they then must try and communicate what's wrong and wait for the person to contact the authorities for help. All of this takes too much time in emergency situations and can be avoided by utilizing the wearable emergency alert system. As GPS usually becomes unusable and unreliable indoors, this is where WIFI and Bluetooth can be used to provide positioning services.
In public buildings such as schools, a lockdown may occur once someone has visually identified the threat, however, this may take too long as people aren't typically looking out for threats at their work. Therefore, to minimize the threat of a registered criminal being able to enter and cause harm to the students, the authorities can be notified with the location and ID
of the individual when they step within the range of the school's network. The same system can be applied to government buildings.
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 wearable emergency alert system assists people during an emergency by providing locational aid and heart rate monitoring for the user, which can be utilized by others involved.
Some examples that this wearable emergency alert system will be utilized includes providing first responders with the location of an individual in distress, alerting the user in the event of an emergency, ensuring registered criminals do not enter certain buildings and protecting children from wandering away or from being abducted in monitored public areas.
The system will be able to utilize the band to be able to locate them with an indoor positioning service if the system has been installed in the building or through GPS.
This system will utilize a combination Bluetooth, WIFI and GPS technology based on the model selected to locate the where device is located. This system will be packaged into a weatherproof, shockproof and dustproof band that will be located around the human body.
The band will contain the user's medical information on the side of the casing. Data can be gathered and stored wirelessly. The band can be expanded to include an option for diabetic monitoring through a non-invasive method.
The band will be available to be locked onto a user to avoid the band being taken off which is desired in certain applications.
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 user's 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.
Information collected by the bracelet will be available to anyone with authorized permission.
The basic components of this band include a heart rate monitor, a battery, a microcontroller, a transmitter and a receiver. The can be customized to include a multicolor LED, a thermal transducer, a lock, microphone(s), button(s), speaker(s), a display and a vibrating transducer and any additional accessories that become available over time in order to customize the band for certain scenarios.
The band will be able to vibrate in the event of an emergency (such as a fire or intruder alert), an injured person, loss of signal connection and if the person they are caring for leaves the area (such as a child they are caring for). More options will be developed for this product and will become available later when they are fully developed. There will be an electronic lock available inside the bracelet to be locked and unlocked with the use of an electronic device that has connected to it through Bluetooth, WiFi or near-field communication(NFC).
The ability for the electronic lock to be operated by RFID. The band can connect to a hub to transmit data. The band can connect to beacons to locate position and transmit data. The hub can be outfitted with a carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector.
The bracelet can be used to check into work as well and track activity on the job site.
This can be done through Bluetooth, WiFi, RFID or near-field communication(NFC).
