A system for playback of messages. Context appropriate messages for an environment may be played back. Messages may be user behavior interactive and subject to user behavior initiated message playback conditions. User generated environment events may be automatically analyzed and user behavior interactive messages may be automatically coordinated. An automated themed message playback apparatus may have a self-contained housing within which a stored themed message, an in situ user generated environment event sensor, and an automated themed message playback device are housed. User generated environment events may be automatically sensed in situ.

A method for monitoring at least one support structure in an above ground building, includes at least one strain gauge, wherein each of the strain gauges is attached to one of the support structures in the above ground building to detect the strain of the support structure at the area of attachment. An interrogator unit is connected to a gauge having a connection means providing access to the strain gauges for the interrogator unit, wherein the interrogator unit provides an output of strain values at each of the strain gauges. The embodiment also includes a monitoring system connected to the interrogator unit, wherein the monitoring system outputs an alarm signal when an evaluation of the strain value any of the strain gauges indicates a significant condition wherein the alarm signal in connected to the building control system to execute an action.

The present invention relates to a maritime distress signal transmission device which transmits a distress signal to an arbitrary rescue station to rescue a person in distress by transmitting a distress signal of the person in distress at sea wearing a life jacket and precise location information based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) to the rescue station as audible sound, and the maritime distress signal transmission device includes a holder-cradle which is coupled to the life jacket of the person in distress by a clip and a main body which is coupled to the holder-cradle and transmits the rescue signal to an arbitrary receiver using a preset frequency band.

A school communication system includes: a district server configured to manage at least one communication system located within a district location managed by the district server; a district network configured to communicatively couple the at least one communication system and the district server; and the at least one communication system. The at least one communication system comprises: a network switch configured to integrate communication equipment associated with the district location; and campus controller. The campus controller is configured to: receive an emergency drill configuration from the district server; receive a signal to begin an emergency drill; perform one or more actions in the emergency drill via the network switch; and report that the drill was initiated.

A voice message communication apparatus 10 has a sensor unit 12 that detects at least one of a surrounding situation of the communication apparatus and a situation of the communication apparatus itself. A voice message transmission unit 14 transmits voice data regarding a desired voice message to a contact point terminal 40 in response to a voice message transmission instruction from a user, and a sensor information transmission unit 15 transmits sensor information detected by the sensor unit 12 to the contact point terminal 40. As a result, it is possible to transmit the sensor information necessary for monitoring or the like along with the voice message while an elderly person living alone uses the voice message communication apparatus 10 with a light feeling that the elderly person living alone simply transmits a voice message.

A programmable signal generator and radio controller for providing dispatch paging tone out frequencies to first responders and other selected areas. The signal generator is capable of performing tone-outs to various first responders and being cross compatible with prior and future evolutionary systems. The signal generator uses plain-text console interface and plain-text tone-out parameter definitions allowing programming without special software, apps, or Internet connectivity. The signal generator is capable of controlling operational functions of connected radio transceiver equipment including initiating and terminating RF transmission, selecting radio channel or frequency, and monitoring operational status of the transceiver. The signal generator is also capable of interactive communication with external third-party digital radio dispatch console systems via Ethernet network and TCP/IP protocol via an isolated network interoperability interface that implements a simple Application Program Interface (API).

A user behavior monitoring method and a wearable device are provided. The method comprises: providing an inertial sensor in a wearable device; at the beginning of each data indicator acquiring phases, after a user has worn the wearable device, monitoring and collecting historical movement data of the user in a preset statistical period by the inertial sensor, and acquiring a predictive indicator according to a changing trend of the historical movement data; in real-time monitoring, collecting real-time movement data of the user, and judging whether the user has an abnormal behavior according to the real-time movement data, the predictive indicator acquired in the data indicator acquiring phase and a preset strategy; and sending an alarm notification when it is determined that the user has an abnormal behavior. The device can perform customized and high-accuracy behavior monitoring with respect to different users.
