The present invention relates to an emergency alert system that triggers a distress event that is automatically managed by a community security system. The emergency alert system is activated through users' mobile devices and initiates communication with the community security system. Management by the community security system includes receiving the GPS location of the mobile device, recording a continuous stream of audio and video from the panic user's mobile application, notifying potential responders or groups of responders in the vicinity of the panic alert and, among other things, activating localized visual and audible deterrents present in surround private security systems, intelligently directing community CCTV cameras to record the distress event and issuing notifications to the closest community members for immediate responses, as well as other responder or group notification members.

A personal safety service notifies a pre-defined group of emergency contacts about an occurrence of emergency associated with a user. To do so, a personal safety service server comprising a processing device and a memory receives an indication of the emergency and a location of the emergency from a wearable mobile device and sends a notification message via a push notification displayed on user devices of a predefined group of emergency contacts indicating the occurrence of the emergency. The personal safety service server periodically receives updates to the location of the wearable mobile device from the personal safety service client application.

A method, computer device, and security detail (SD) communication device enables real-time tracking and security of shipments. The method includes receiving a plurality of location signals indicating a location of multiple geographically co-located shipment-related entities that are being tracked as a shipment group. The shipment group includes an assigned security detail that has a corresponding location signal. The method includes presenting the shipment group as a plurality of co-located visual representations on a shipment tracking user interface (STUI) of the computing device, where each location signal is represented among the co-located visual representations. The method includes monitoring for any unscheduled deviations in at least one of an expected co-location and an expected geo-location of received updates to the location signals within the shipment group. The method further includes, in response to detecting an unscheduled deviation, triggering responsive actions, including notifying SD personnel, based on the type of deviation.

A system for monitoring health and safety of workers in a manufacturing facility is presented. The system includes a user interface, a set of sensors, a database, management software and/or a health monitoring system, among other components. The system is configured to monitor health of workers using biometric data gathered by the set of sensors. In one or more arrangements, the system also tracks the position and motion of the worker. In one or more arrangements, the data gathered is aggregated in a database for datamining purposes so as to facilitate health monitoring and mitigation of identified illness. The system may be configured to screen and identify workers who are not in normal health. The system may be configured to screen workers health when clocking into or out of the time keeping system. The system may be configured to perform contact tracing.

The present disclosure relates to integrated systems, methods and apparatuses for assisting individuals in managing acute life-threatening conditions. A system in accordance with the current disclosure may comprise an electronic circuit configured to be attached to a container of a medication and one or more devices in communication with the electronic circuit in a private network. In an aspect, the one or more devices may work in concert to determine the safety level of an individual based on predetermined usage settings. In some aspects, the system may be configured to determine whether a medication would expire before its manufactured expiry date. In another aspect, the system may assist an individual in locating a medication. In a further aspect, the system may determine whether an individual is having an anaphylactic reaction. In some aspects, the system may detect a known allergen and alert the individual.

Disclosed are methods and systems for identifying and addressing passenger issues in an aircraft. For instance, the method may include receiving sensor data corresponding to one or more sensors associated with a passenger compartment of the aircraft, analyzing the received sensor data to determine a condition of the passenger compartment of the aircraft, identifying one or more passenger issues occurring in the aircraft, and determining one or more response options to address the one or more passenger issues, based at least in part on the one or more passenger issues and an operational parameter of the aircraft. The method may further include communicating, the one or more passenger issues and the one or more response options to a passenger user interface or a ground control station and modifying an operation of the aircraft in accordance with one or more of the one or more response options.

A safety button includes an activation element, a first communication device, a second communication device, and a controller. The first communication device is configured to connect the safety button to a WLAN, while the second communication device is configured to connect the safety button to a user device such as a smart phone. The controller is in communication with the first and second communication devices. The controller is configured to cause the safety button to communicate with the WLAN via the first communication device if the safety button is connected to the WLAN, and to cause the safety button to communicate with the user device via the second communication device if the safety button is not connected to the WLAN. Upon actuation of the activation element, an alert signal is communicated to a remote server by way of either the WLAN or the user device.

A vehicle accident notification device includes a processor that determines whether a vehicle accident occurs and a degree of the vehicle accident based on a sensing result of a sensor and vehicle information received from a device of the host vehicle and automatically provides a notification of the vehicle accident, a communicator that communicates with other devices, and a storage storing a collision reference value that is used to determine the degree of the vehicle accident in advance.

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 personal proximity warning device for warning a user of a rear approach of a person includes a housing that is removably attachable to an item worn by the user. A camera and a sensor attached to the housing capture an image of and sense motion within an area proximate to the user. A battery, a transceiver, and a microprocessor are positioned in the housing. The microprocessor selectively actuates the camera and the transceiver to capture and transmit the image of the area, respectively, and actuates the transceiver to transmit an alert. Programming code, which is selectively positionable on an electronic device of the user, enables the electronic device to receive the alert and the image, to override audio to earbuds being worn by the user, and to broadcast the alert to the user via the earbuds.
