A monitoring device is configured to include an image data acquiring unit, a detecting unit, and a notifying unit. The image data acquiring unit acquires image data obtained by imaging a work area, and information relating to the position in which the image data were captured. The detecting unit detects, from the image data, at least either an unsafe behavior of a worker in the work area, or an unsafe environment around the worker, as an unsafe condition. The notifying unit notifies a terminal of the unsafe condition detected by the detecting unit, and the information relating to the position in which the unsafe condition is detected.

A method includes measuring biometric data of a user at a monitoring device. The method further includes outputting, at the monitoring device, an alert to a vehicle computing device within a vehicle based upon detection of a biometric event, such that the party outside of a vehicle is notified. The method also includes analyzing and storing, within an application residing on the monitoring device, the biometric data within the application. The method still further includes outputting, within the application, a predetermined timeframe of the biometric data to the party.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.

A variety of dispatcher user interfaces, communications architectures, methods, apparatus, APIs and protocols are described that can help facilitate the integration of volunteer responder networks into the workflows of PSAP dispatchers. In one aspect, a dispatcher user interface facilitates activation of the volunteer responder network, as well as tracking and/or communicating notes to medical devices such as AEDs in the responder network that have accepted an incident.
