A hub device including a housing defining an interior, a plurality of sensors, and a controller module. The plurality of sensors being provided within the interior or along a portion of the housing. The controller module having access to a memory comprising a set of preloaded software and a set of additional software. At least one of least one of the set of preloaded software or the set of additional software is configured to allow the hub device to be communicatively couplable to at least one additional hardware.

A processor may receive data regarding an emergency event. The processor may identify, using an artificial intelligence model, one or more features regarding the emergency event. The processor may determine that the one or more features are associated with one or more emergency response tasks. The processor may generate an action plan that incorporates the one or more emergency response tasks. The processor may output the action plan to a user.

In a system and method for detecting carbon dioxide in an enclosed volume, a CO2 detection system is triggered to awaken from a deep sleep state. Once awake, the system queries system sensors to determine the current system parameters, including current CO2 level and temperature. Current and expected CO2 decay rates are calculated, and the system determines whether the current CO2 decay rate is within an expected normal range for an unoccupied enclosed volume. If the volume is static, i.e., not moving, and the CO2 rate is rising and the temperature is rising, a series of alerts are sent to contacts previously set up by the user. If the alerts are not cleared by a user, emergency management personnel are notified.

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. One or more first signals received from one or more first devices may be monitored. One or more first threat indicators within a first signal of the one or more first signals may be detected. One or more second signals may be analyzed to determine a probability of a threat event. One or more second devices of a plurality of devices may be selected, based upon the probability, for transmission of one or more messages associated with the threat event.

Method and apparatus for operating home appliances, the method includes identifying a home appliance in a field view of a camera of an augmented reality (AR) device; generating, based on the home appliance that was identified, a control interface to overlay on a screen of the AR device or to present within an augmented view of a user that carries the AR device; detecting a selection by the user of control options on the control interface; and triggering the home appliance to perform an operation based on the selection.

A system and method for electronic notification of a person(s) in proximity to a given location at the time assistance is needed. A networked system of wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons are provided for communicating with a person's smartphone, computer system, or other electronic device. Wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons selectively broadcast a configurable data set within a given area of the beacon. The strength of the signal can vary depending on the alert type, time to respond requirements and specific characteristics of the location that would affect the time to respond. Software running on the person's smartphone, computer system, tablet or other electronic device preferably receives the signal(s) broadcast by the wireless radio, sound and/or light-based beacons and decoding the data set broadcast. Depending on the configuration of the system, the decoded data set can cause the software to provide an alert to the person, which can include, but is not limited to, the location and type of alert. The alert may take the form of a visual message on the display of the person's smartphone, computer system, or other electronic device, an audible alert, vibration, and/or other available alerting mechanism on the person's smartphone, computer system or other electronic device.

An early alert and location intelligence geographic information system (GIS) includes a plurality of Internet of Thing (IoT) devices and a GIS system. The GIS system tracks locations and movements of the IoT devices and is activated when an IoT device signals detection of a threat or an urgent medical need. Based on locations and escalating state changes of the IoT devices, alerts are provided to the IoT devices, and the threat location, a danger zone and a buffer zone are calculated and displayed on a mobile software application. Based on device proximity to the threat location, the GIS system communicates escape directions and shelter guidance to the mobile software applications of those affected. Smart alert escalations are provided as needed to security, law enforcement and medical personnel.

A portable alarm system has a base unit including a processor electrically connected to a wireless transceiver configured to communicate wireless signals to an external location. The base unit is further configured to receive wireless alarm signals from at least a first sensor and a second sensor, both of the first and second sensors being physically separated from the base unit. The processor is configured to be selectively programmed by a user to cause the base unit to communicate with a remote monitoring station in response to receiving an alarm signal from the first sensor, but not in response to receiving an alarm signal from the second sensor. Instead, when an alarm signal is received from the second sensor, the processor causes a different action, other than communicating with the monitoring station, to occur. Such action can include, for example, sending a wireless communication to a mobile electronic device.

A method may include receiving sensor data of a sensor associated with a vehicle occupied by a user, the sensor data indicating that the vehicle is involved in an accident. The method may further include determining one or more potential injuries sustained by occupants of the vehicle during the accident and transmitting an indication of the one or more injuries to a mobile device of the user. Still further, the method may including prompting the user to provide a response confirming or modifying the one or more potential injuries and updating the one or more potential injuries based on the response. The method may also include generating at least one insurance claim form for the accident based on the one or more potential injuries.

Devices, systems, and methods for event detection using distributed event devices are described herein. In some examples, one or more embodiments include a first event device and a second event device, where the first event device is configured to detect an event in an area and wirelessly transmit a notification of the detected event and location information associated with the first event device to the second event device, and where the second event device is configured to receive the notification of the detected event and the location information from the first event device, determine whether the location information matches a location included in a database in response to receiving the detected event, and perform an activation action responsive to determining the location information matches a location included in the database.
