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.

A notification control device for controlling notification based on subject information is disclosed. The subject information including temperature image data, which indicates temperature of a subject captured within a predetermined capturing range, is received. A predetermined destination of notification information, which represents a state of the subject based on the subject information, is notified. A process of notifying the notification information to the predetermined destination is stopped depending on whether or not the subject information includes predetermined identification information.

A method for monitoring and securing a facility without employing a manned control center, according to which a server acquires surveillance data from each of a plurality of distributed surveillance devices deployed within or adjacent to a given security sensitive facility. Then the server receives an intrusion alert from a guard, or from one or more of the plurality of surveillance devices to initiate a triggering event, if the acquired surveillance data is indicative of activity that has been detected at an indicated location. A first guard is alerted and presented with a full situational awareness image to assess the severity of the detected activity and the triggering event is terminated if found by the first guard to be of a low severity, or an interception operation initiated by self-dispatching or dispatching one or more additional guards to a close by location that holds tactical advantage relative to the indicated location if the triggering event was found by the first guard to be of a high severity.

A wireless device, network node and network management node are disclosed. The wireless device, network node and management node may cooperate to facilitate monitoring of the wireless device and detection of an incident involving a user of the wireless device. The wireless device is operable to connect to a network and comprises processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to enter an enhanced monitoring mode, receive, from a network node, configuration information specifying a measuring configuration for measuring signal strength, and measure signal strength in accordance with the received configuration information.

Provided is a safety checking system that can accurately determine an abnormality of a user or a rearing animal using a lockable space section and can respond to an abnormality, if occurs, more safely, more reliably, and promptly. This invention includes: obtaining, via a management device, sensing data from a sensor detecting biological information of the user or rearing animal using the lockable space section; detecting, via the management device, a significant difference between the sensing data and sensing data obtained in a normal condition or a threshold thereof; requesting, upon detection of the significant difference as necessary, dispatch of an emergency agency to the lockable space section; confirming, via the management device, whether the emergency agency having received the request has arrived at the lockable space section; and causing the management device to issue a signal for carrying out emergency unlocking of a lock in the lockable space section.

Systems, methods, and software for monitoring and controlling a security system for a structure are provided herein. An exemplary method may include receiving sensor data from at least one first peripheral, the sensor data associated with at least one of activity inside and activity outside of a structure; determining a critical event based in part on the sensor data; creating an alert based in part on the critical event; getting user preferences associated with at least one of a user and a base unit; determining a response based in part on the alert and user preferences; and activating at least one of a second peripheral and a service based in part on the response.

A proximity warning system including cameras positioned on a machine, processors, and one or more memory devices including instructions for execution by the processors. The system includes instructions to receive, from the cameras, image data depicting an object within a field of view of the cameras. The system includes instructions to derive a first distance between the object and the machine based on the image data and an alarm is triggered when the first distance is less than a first threshold distance. The system can include instructions to receive a request to snooze the alarm and discontinue the alarm. Additional image data can be received from the cameras and a second distance between the object and the machine is derived based on the additional image data. The system includes instructions to cancel the snooze and retrigger the alarm when the second distance is less than a second threshold distance.

A distributed processing network system (10), an integrated response system (50) comprising multiple distributed processing network systems and related methods providing situational awareness information for emergency responses. In one embodiment there is disclosed a response system (50) comprising first and second server based systems (10, 11) each providing real time awareness of personnel (18, 19) for different organizations, the first system receiving information for a first organization and the second system receiving information for a second organization, the first system coupled to the second system to communicate information generated in the first system to personnel in the second organization via the second system to facilitate timely and appropriate response by personnel in the second organization to an emergency situation in the first organization.

A method, executable at a first communication device, for enabling communication between a group of communication devices, including the first communication device is suggested. The suggested method comprise activating the first communication device in response to recognizing a cause for triggering such activation, recognizing at least one second communication device, exchanging data between the first and the at least one second communication device, in response to recognizing the at least one second communication device, determining, based on the exchanged data, rules to be applied for a coordinated signaling, from the first communication device and at least one of the at least one second communication device, and initiating the coordinated signaling, based on the determined rules.

In an example method, a mobile device receives sensor data obtained by one or more sensor over a time period. The one or more sensors are worn by a user. Further, the mobile device determines a context of the user based on the sensor data, and obtains a set of rules for processing the sensor data based on the context, where the set of rules is specific to the context. The mobile device determines at least one of a likelihood that the user has fallen or a likelihood that the user requires assistance based on the sensor data and the set of rules, and generates one or more notifications based on at least one of the likelihood that the user has fallen or the likelihood that the user requires assistance.
