A personal protective device is combined with a cellular telephone. Activation of either device causes activation of the other device. Activation is achieved by a switch or voice command. Upon activation, a message asking for assistance at the present location is sent to a previously agreed upon emergency contact. The smartphone also starts both audio and video recording, which are also part of the data sent to the emergency contact person or service. Additionally, the personal protective devices are integrated into a unit that may combine such items as a protective spray, Taser, strobe light, dye pack, siren and other deterrent technologies to ward off would-be attackers. These devices are integrated into a hand held unit that can be unobtrusively worn or carried in a purse or pocket or in the user's hand. An optical safety device is included to protect the user from a potential assailant approaching from rearward.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a wireless emergency bell and a method for controlling a wireless emergency bell installed in a school and a school zone, the method comprising the steps of: receiving an input signal generated by pressing a provided button by a reporter when an emergency situation occurs; generating an emergency bell signal, repeatedly transmitting the generated emergency bell signal to at least one pager and a receiver during a predetermined configuration time, and outputting a prestored alarm sound to the outside through a provided speaker; generating an emergency bell voice signal and transmitting the generated emergency bell voice signal to the at least one pager and the receiver; generating an emergency bell voice transmission completion signal indicating that the emergency bell voice signal has been completely transmitted, and transmitting the generated emergency bell voice transmission completion signal to the at least one pager and the receiver; converting an operation of the wireless emergency bell into a reception mode in which data can be automatically received from at least one pager after a configured time; receiving a pager voice signal from the at least one pager; determining whether the received pager voice signal exists, and outputting the received pager voice signal to the outside through the speaker when the received pager voice signal exists; and determining whether a mode conversion command signal is received from the at least one pager when the received pager voice signal does not exist, and converting the operation of the wireless emergency bell into a transmission mode in which data can b e transmitted to the at least one pager and the receiver when there is the received mode conversion command signal.

Emergency communications systems and methods are provided herein. According to some embodiments, methods for mediating transmission of an emergency communication may include establishing a communications path between an emergency response entity and a communications device of a reporting party in response to an emergency event, and delivering to the emergency response entity an alert communication from the communications device, the alert communication comprising at least a location of the communications device and visual content captured by the communications device.

In general, according to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an extracting unit, a first display control unit, a first input receiving unit, a second display control unit, a second input receiving unit, and an output unit. The extracting unit extracts candidates for a commodity subjected to image pickup. The first display control unit selectably displays the commodity candidates. The first input receiving unit receives selection of a commodity candidate out of the commodity candidates. The second display control unit displays a screen for indicating which commodity candidate is selected and receiving a decision input of the commodity candidate. The second input receiving unit receives the decision input of the commodity candidate. The output unit outputs information concerning the commodity candidate decided by the decision input of the commodity candidate received by the second input receiving unit.

Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for reducing and/or eliminating false positive alarm triggers. Detector devices positioned throughout an environment scan for known events that are likely indicative of an alarm condition. A source device that may generate such a sound or image may imprint a fingerprint on to the event that can be detectable by the detector devices but is imperceptible to humans. Additionally, the detector devices may use directionality and known locations of source devices to determine if a triggering event occurred at a known location of a source device. An alarm suppression decision may occur at the detector device and/or relevant information may be sent from the various detectors to a central console for a final alarm decision.

An alarm for a door is operable to generate an alarm signal when a rotary grip member of the door is rotated to a particular position, such as an unlocked position. The alarm comprises a housing having a strap retainer configured to receive and retain a strap to hold the housing to the rotary grip member. The alarm comprises a tilt switch for switching when the housing is tilted. Control circuitry is interconnected to the tilt switch and to an annunciator and is operable to activate the annunciator dependent on a state of the tilt switch.

A mobile terminal and a control method thereof are disclosed. A mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a sound output unit which outputs a sound corresponding to reproduction of a content; a setting unit which includes a plurality of noise blocking levels and sets at least one noise blocking level on the basis of a user input; and a control unit which, when the content is reproduced, blocks surrounding noise according to the set noise blocking level and, when a specific event is detected, adjusts the already set noise blocking level such that the degree of surrounding noise blocking is changed according to the detected specific event.

A computing device can utilize one or more sensors to capture data associated with a current environment, state, condition, property, etc. of the device. Based at least in part on the captured data, the current environment, state, condition, property, etc. of the computing device can be determined or identified. Based on the determined/identified current environment, state, condition, property, etc., the computing device can configure the notification intensity level for the device. The device can determine a suitable notification intensity level and set that notification intensity level for the device. An incoming communication received at the computing device while the device is still associated with the determined/identified current environment, state, condition, property, etc. can cause a notification to be outputted at the set notification intensity level.
