A safety system comprised of safety devices each worn by a caretaker and up to three people requiring minding, that alerts using color coded LED lights and audible tones when a monitored person is in danger. The device alerts if the person is beyond a preset distance, is close to or is in a body of water, or signals they are in trouble, using phased-array radar coupled with image processing.

The phased-array radar allows the remote sensing of water in either daylight or night. The phased-array radar comprises multiple antenna elements including an independent antenna element phase shifter allowing beamsteering. The device scans an object using a preset beamsteering algorithm independent of movement. The multiple antenna elements and beamsteering improve image data accuracy which is then interpreted and correlated with a body of water characteristics. The phased-array radar is also used for caretaker-monitored person communications.

A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a base station of a security system, an identification of a shipment package, the identification received from a first security sensor that is part of the security system. The method further includes adding, by the base station, a shipment device of the shipment package as a second security sensor of the security system. The method further includes configuring, by the base station, the shipment device in protect-mode, wherein the shipment device sounds an alarm in response to the shipment being displaced by at least a predetermined distance when in the protect-mode. The method further includes reconfiguring, by the base station, the shipment device in safe-mode in response to receiving, from a customer associated with the shipment package, a confirmation signal that the shipment package has been safely received.

A wearable device and a system for tracking the wearable device may enhance safety and peace of mind for a parent or caretaker of a child or other individual. The system may include a computing device, such as a smartphone, executing an application that provides alerts based on a distance between the computing device and the wearable device exceeding a threshold distance, based on the wearable device crossing a define geographic boundary, or one or more similar triggers. The wearable device may include an input button that allows a user of the wearable device to send a signal to the computing device of the parent or caretaker. An alert on the computing device might be disabled by pressing the input button on the wearable device.

A multi-cradle system for managing multiple infants is provided. The multi-cradle system includes multiple cradles to carry multiple infants. The cradles are mounted on a supporting frame. Each cradle is assigned a unique identifier. The system includes a profile module and a mapping module. The profile module is configured for storing at least one user profile of an infant. The mapping module is configured for dynamically linking the user profile to one of the cradles using the unique identifier thereof, when the infant is placed therein.

The person monitoring system is a proximity surveillance system. The person monitoring system comprises an interrogator, a tag, and an accessory. A communication link is established between the interrogator and the tag at predetermined, but not necessarily regular, intervals to ensure that the tag is in the proximity of the interrogator. The tag is attached to an accessory. The person monitoring system is adapted for use with a first person and a second person. The first person carries the interrogator. The second person wears the accessory with the tag. Should the communication link fail to be established, the interrogator initiates an alarm informing the first person that the second person is no longer nearby.

Systems, methods, and computer program products for securing a device or an asset attached thereto. The positions of a plurality of devices are monitored, and based on the positions, a determination is made as to whether a threshold condition has been violated. If the threshold condition has been violated, a notification signal is transmitted from a monitored device to one or more of the other devices to alert a responder that the monitored device is at risk of being lost. In response to the threshold condition being violated, the monitored device may also record and/or transmit data for display to the responder to help prevent the loss, or facilitate the recovery of the monitored device and/or an asset attached to the monitored device.

A system enabling children for communicating with parent and friend through a wearable device is enclosed. The system includes a memory unit and a processor that executes a set of modules that includes an information exchange module 304, a digit code generation module 306, and a voice message transfer module 308. The information exchange module 304 exchanges and transfers information between the first child wearable device 104 and the second child wearable device 114 when the first child 102 chooses to add the second child 116 within a close proximity, to a contact list of the first child wearable device 104. The digit code generation module 310 generates a random digit code when the first child 102 chooses to add the second child 116 in a remote location, to the contact list of the first child wearable device 104.

A wireless asset location tracking system and related techniques are disclosed. The system may include one or more beacon tags and one or more micro-zone (mZone) transmitters disposed at designated locations. A given mZone transmitter may transmit an mZone signal including data pertaining to its identity, and thus location. A given beacon tag receiving the mZone signal may pull mZone identification data therefrom and relay it in its own beacon signal, along with other data. In this manner, a given mZone transmitter may provide information pertaining to the location within the host space of a given beacon tag within its transmission range. The beacon signal may be received by any gateway or reader device within range, and information therefrom may be delivered through the internet to a server database. The information stored at the server database may be accessed to monitor and track tagged assets and control overall system operation.

Systems and methods for detecting a breach of a proximity threshold associated with a first electronic device comprising a first electronic device configured to transmit a first wireless signal; and a second electronic device configured to: 1) measure a strength of the first wireless signal, 2) determine, based on the measured strength of the first wireless signal, a proximity of the second electronic device to the first electronic device, 3) instruct the first electronic device, via a second wireless signal, to subsequently transmit the first wireless signal at a predetermined interval corresponding with a proximity of the second electronic device to a proximity threshold associated with the first electronic device, and 4) measure a strength of the first wireless signal being transmitted at the predetermined interval to detect when the second electronic device breaches the proximity threshold associated with the first electronic device.
