Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a safety-based wearable device for deterring attackers that is capable of detecting potential threats in the surrounding environment, alerting authorized personnel in real time, guiding the user toward a safe location, and initiating protective measures to ensure user safety during emergencies, without requiring active intervention from the user.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Safety from attackers on public places is essential to protect individuals from harm, violence, or potential injury. In today's unpredictable world, ensuring personal security helps people feel secure while going about their daily lives. The security is crucial for preserving physical and emotional well-being, especially in high-risk environments or situations. Problems in ensuring safety from attackers include delayed response times, limited personal defense options, and lack of immediate assistance in dangerous situations. Many safety solutions are reactive rather than proactive, making difficult for individuals to defend themselves effectively. Additionally, environments with poor surveillance increase vulnerability to attacks.
[0003] Traditionally, safety devices for protecting against attackers include pepper spray, personal alarms, stun guns, and safety whistles. While effective in some situations, these devices often require manual activation and difficult to use under stress. Additionally, they rely on the user's ability to react quickly, which may not always be possible. In terms of automation, these devices lack real-time monitoring or the ability to respond autonomously to threats. They also fail to provide continuous protection or alert authorities automatically, leaving individuals vulnerable, especially in unpredictable or high-risk environments where immediate response is critical.
[0004] CN114866306B discloses about a security protection method, a security protection device and a storage medium. Wherein the method comprises broadcasting a target request to a plurality of nodes; the plurality of nodes are preset nodes for executing specific services; according to the state change of the entity object in the process that the plurality of nodes respond to the target request to execute the specific service, carrying out safety judgment; through the method and the device, the safety protection can be realized on the specific service to be protected, and the effective prevention can be realized on the known or unknown safety risk.
[0005] US9853996B2 discloses about a system and method for identifying and preventing malicious application programming interface attacks is configured to, during a learning stage: monitor all requests sent to and from the server API; identify one or more first characteristic data points of each request and response sent during the learning stage; and determine, based at least in part on the identified one or more first characteristic data points, one or more characteristic data models, wherein a characteristic data model represents at least one of an expected input to the API and an expected output of the API; and during a protection stage: monitor all requests sent to and from the server API; identify one or more second characteristic data points of each request and response sent during the protection stage; and one of validate and invalidate the identified one or more second characteristic data points against the one or more characteristic data models.
[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed to assist in ensuring personal safety and protecting individuals from potential attackers. These devices typically include tools such as pepper sprays, personal alarms, and wearable panic buttons that aim to deter assailants or alert nearby help. However, existing solutions often lack comprehensive, real-time intervention capabilities that autonomously detect threats through h behavioral cues or environmental changes. Furthermore, most traditional devices require manual activation and do not dynamically respond to the evolving risk level or the user’s physical condition, limiting their effectiveness in high-stress or rapidly changing situations.
[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to be capable of not only detecting and monitoring potential threats from attackers but also provides personalized protection by continuously analyzing behavioral patterns, facial recognition data, and environmental cues in real time. The developed device should also aim to enhance user safety through integrated intervention units, such as automated deterrent means, adaptive navigational guidance, and real-time communication that notify emergency contacts or authorized personnel when critical situations are detected.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The principal object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
[0009] An object of the present invention is to develop a device that continuously monitor user's surroundings and identify any nearby individuals or behaviors that indicates a possible threat.
[0010] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of helping users safely move away from danger by guiding them toward a secure location using clear, real-time feedback.
[0011] Another object of the present invention is to develop a device that provide a quick and temporary way to stop or slow down an attacker by giving a user enough time to escape from the threat.
[0012] Yet, another object of the present invention is to develop a device that is capable of alerting emergency contacts or authorized personnel when the user is in a dangerous area or is unable to move, ensuring timely assistance.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.
[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.
[0022] The present invention relates to safety-based wearable device for deterring attackers that provide a quick and temporary means of stopping or slowing down an attacker, giving the user sufficient time to escape from the threat. The developed device also alerts emergency contacts or authorized personnel when the user is in a dangerous area or unable to move, ensuring timely assistance.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a safety-based wearable device for deterring attackers is illustrated, comprising a pair of wearable bodies 101 worn by a user on the user’s feet, an artificial intelligence-based imaging module 102 installed on the bodies 101, a series of vibrating units 103 embedded within sole or sidewalls of the shoes, a retractable sharp-edge pin 104 positioned within a cavity 105 carved at an outsole of the body, an electric pulse emitter 106 mounted on the pin 104, an expandable sheet 107 disposed along vamp and foxing regions of each of the bodies 101, an integrated inflatable member 108 within the sheet 107, a plurality of motorized wheels 109 on sole of the body, each via an extendable link 110, an expandable plate 111 attached at inner sides of the body, a pair of electromagnetic strip 112 attached on a free-end of each of the plates 111 and a pair of extendable poles 113 mounted underneath each of the body, each via a Scott Russel assembly 114.
[0024] The device disclosed herein includes a pair of wearable bodies 101 are developed to be worn by a user on the feet. The wearable bodies 101 are ergonomically engineered to conform to the shape and movement of the foot for providing comfort and stability during use. The bodies 101 are equipped with an artificial intelligence-based imaging module 102 that is capable of capturing multiple images in the vicinity of the device. When activated through a push button crafted on one the bodies 101, this module continuously monitors the user's surroundings to enhance environmental awareness and safety.
[0025] The imaging module 102 comprises of an image capturing module including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in surrounding of the bodies 101, and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging module 102 in form of an optical data. The imaging module 102 also comprises of a processor that is encrypted with artificial intelligence protocols and machine learning protocols for real-time processing, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to a microcontroller.
[0026] This microcontroller used herein is pre-programmed using artificial intelligence and machine learning protocols to coordinate the working of the device. The microcontroller is also pre-fed with protocols and instructions related to the device along with the details regarding the behaviour patterns and facial details of an individual.
[0027] The microcontroller is communicatively coupled with the imaging module 102 to analyze the behavioral patterns of individuals in proximity to the user and extracts facial features and compares them, along with behavioral data, against predefined threat profiles stored in a database linked to the microcontroller, in order to detect potential threats. These threat profiles include, but are not limited to, behavioral indicators such as aggressive movements, rapid approach, and other predefined markers indicative of potential danger. Additionally, facial recognition data is cross-referenced with records from a law enforcement database for real-time identification. The detected threats are logged in the database, in view of training the machine learning protocols to improve threat recognition accuracy and refine future responses.
[0028] Once a potential threat is detected, the microcontroller activates a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, which is integrated via an IoT (Internet of Things) module, to enable real-time location tracking. The GPS (Global Positioning System) module integrated via an IoT (Internet of Things) module enables real-time location tracking by combining satellite-based positioning with wireless communication technologies. The GPS module functions by receiving time-stamped signals from multiple satellites orbiting the Earth. By analyzing the time delay of these signals, the module calculates its distance from each satellite and uses a method called trilateration to determine the precise geospatial data that includes real-time latitude and longitude coordinates of thr user's location, which are used to trigger an alert based on proximity to predefined danger zones, such as high-crime areas, unsafe environments, or restricted zones.
[0029] Once the location is determined, the IoT module plays a crucial role in transmitting this data to a computing unit linked with the microcontroller via wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module or LPWAN. The IoT module then sends this information to the microcontroller for enabling live monitoring and quick response, such as alerting an authorized personnel regarding the user’s presence in a pre-identified danger zones such as high-crime areas, unsafe environments, or restricted zones, for remote monitoring and arranging immediate assistance to the user. In case the imaging unit detects still movement of the user, corresponding to unconscious or injured state of the user, the microcontroller sends a wireless notification to the computing unit for notifying a pre-fed list of emergency contacts, along with transmitting real-time location of the user and imaging unit footage if necessary.
[0030] The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, tablet or laptop that is accessed by the authorized personnel. The communication module used herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication module used herein is preferably a Wi-Fi module that is a hardware component that enables the microcontroller to connect wirelessly with the computing unit. The Wi-Fi module works by utilizing radio waves to transmit and receive data over short distances. The core functionality relies on the IEEE 802.11 standards, which define the protocols for wireless local area networking (WLAN). Once connected, the module allows the microcontroller to send and receive data through data packets.
[0031] After successfully tracking the user's location and transmitting to the authorized personnel, the microcontroller evaluates optimized escape routes to assist the user in reaching a safe location. Once the escape route is calculated, the microcontroller activates a series of vibrating units 103 embedded within the sole or sidewalls of the shoes. These vibrating units 103, which are communicatively linked to the microcontroller to generate vibrational sensations corresponding to directional signals for guiding the user toward the identified safe location.
[0032] The vibrating units 103 typically consist of compact vibration motors, includes but not limited to, such as eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors or linear resonant actuators (LRA), which generate mechanical vibrations when electrical current is applied. Controlled by the microcontroller, these motors are selectively activated based on the calculated escape route. For instance, a vibration on the left side of the bodies 101 indicates a left turn, while a vibration on the right side signals a right turn. Continuous or pulsing patterns represent forward movement or caution. The microcontroller sends electrical pulses to the appropriate vibrating unit in real time, creating a tactile feedback that conveys navigational instructions without the need for visual or auditory input.
[0033] In the event that the detected potential threat involves the presence of a suspected potential attacker in close proximity to the user, the microcontroller activates a retractable sharp-edged pin 104 housed within a cavity 105 located in the outsole of the wearable bodies 101 to extend outward for positioning the pin’s 104 free end near the attacker. The extension and retraction of the pin 104 are pneumatically powered and controlled by the microcontroller through a pneumatic unit associated with the pin 104. This pneumatic unit comprises an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves, and a piston, all working in coordination to facilitate the movement of the pin 104.
[0034] Under the control of the microcontroller, the microcontroller actuates the air valve to allow compressed air from the compressor to enter the air cylinder. The pressurized air exerts force against the piston, causing it to move and extend. Since the piston is mechanically linked to the pin 104, this movement results in the outward extension of the pin 104. To retract the pin 104, the microcontroller closes the air valve, reducing the air pressure within the cylinder and enabling the piston to return to its original position, thereby retracting the pin 104. Through this regulated pneumatic unit, the microcontroller precisely controls the extension and retraction of the pin 104 to ensure the pin’s free end is positioned effectively near the potential attacker.
[0035] Once the free-end of the pin 104 is positioned near the attacker, the microcontroller triggers an electric pulse emitter 106 mounted on the pin 104 to deliver a low-voltage, non-lethal electric pulse, intended to temporarily deter or incapacitate the attacker without causing long-term harm. The emitter 106 typically consists of a capacitor, a voltage regulator, and electrodes. When activated, the microcontroller triggers the emitter 106 to release an electric charge stored in the capacitor. The voltage regulator dynamically adjusts the output voltage based on the severity of the threat as determined by the imaging module 102 and microcontroller, allowing for a more tailored response to varying levels of danger.
[0036] Once the electrical pulse is discharged, it travels through the electrodes mounted on the pin 104, which are positioned near the attacker. The pulse interacts with the attacker’s nervous system, briefly disrupting muscle control and sensory perception, leading to temporary disorientation or muscle spasms. This temporary incapacitation provides the user with a brief opportunity to escape or neutralize the threat. The low voltage used ensures that the pulse is non-lethal, designed to deter rather than permanently harm the attacker. The emitter 106 is engineered to be precise and quick, providing an effective, non-violent means of defense.
[0037] An expandable sheet 107 is disposed along the vamp and foxing regions of each of the bodies 101 and is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor that is synchronized with the imaging module 102 to detect physical impacts and potential threats. The ultrasonic sensor, activated by the microcontroller, works to detect any physical impact or threat in the vicinity, providing an additional layer of protection for the user. The ultrasonic sensor works by emitting high-frequency sound waves, which travel through the air and reflect off objects in the vicinity. When the sound waves hit a surface, they bounce back to the sensor, which measures the time it takes for the waves to return. By calculating the time difference, the sensor determines the distance to the object. In the context of detecting physical impact or potential threats, the sensor detects sudden changes in distance, such as when an object or person moves rapidly toward the user, thus providing real-time feedback to the microcontroller.
[0038] Once a physical impact or potential threat is detected, the microcontroller activates the expandable sheet 107 to deploy around the user’s leg, forming a protective guard. The extension and retraction of the sheet 107 are regulated by the microcontroller using the same pneumatic unit employed for the retractable sharp-edged pin 104. This pneumatic unit, comprises of an air compressor, cylinders, valves, and a piston, enables controlled deployment and retraction of the sheet 107, allowing it to wrap securely around the leg and provide an additional layer of protection in threatening situations.
[0039] Once the sheet 107 is successfully deployed, the microcontroller activates an air compressor connected to an integrated inflatable member 108 embedded within the sheet 107. This activation is triggered in response to an imminent impact or physical threat, prompting the inflatable member 108 to expand and strengthen the protective guard formed around the user’s leg. The air compressor consists of an impeller coupled with a motor, which converts mechanical energy into kinetic energy to facilitate air movement. Upon actuation, the motor drives the impeller to rotate at high speed, drawing in ambient air from the surroundings. This air is then compressed and directed into the inflatable member. As the compressed air fills the inflatable chamber, it rapidly expands to form a cushioned barrier that absorbs shock and enhances structural integrity of the guard. This additional reinforcement provides effective protection and stability, enabling the user to safely vacate the danger zone while minimizing the risk of injury from direct physical contact or environmental hazards.
[0040] In situations where the user is unable to evacuate the danger zone by walking, the microcontroller activates multiple extendable link 110 (preferably in the range of three to six) integrated into the sole of the wearable bodies 101 to extend to deploy a set of motorized wheels 109 configured at their ends, enabling automated movement. The extension and retraction of the link 110 are regulated by the microcontroller using the same pneumatic unit employed for the retractable sharp-edged pin 104.
[0041] Following the deployment of the wheels 109, the microcontroller actuates the wheels 109 to evacuate the user from the danger zone. The motorized wheels 109 comprises a pair of wheel coupled with a motor via a shaft wherein upon receiving the command from the microcontroller by the motor, the motor starts to rotate in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction in order to provide movement to the wheels 109 via the shaft. The wheels 109 thus provides a maximum level of assistance to the user and also allow the user to maintain a steady speed while evacuating from the danger zone.
[0042] During evacuation of the user via the wheels 109, the microcontroller actuates an expandable plate 111 housed along the inner sides of the wearable bodies 101 to extend outward and connect to each other via a pair of electromagnetic strips 112 attached to their free ends, forming a stabilizing platform between the feet for enhancing balance and structural integrity, enabling rapid and stable movement of the user through the motorized wheels 109 in emergency situations. The extension and retraction of the plate 111 is regulated by the microcontroller using the same pneumatic unit employed for the retractable sharp-edged pin 104. The pneumatic unit, comprising an air compressor, cylinders, valves, and a piston, allows for forming the stabilizing platform.
[0043] Once the stabilizing platform is formed through the deployment of the plate 111, the microcontroller activates the pair of electromagnetic strip 112 to energize to securely connect the plate 111 to each other. The pair of electromagnetic strip 112 functions by utilizing electromagnetic force to securely connect the expandable plates 111 once they are deployed. Each strip 112 contains a coil of conductive wire that, when energized by the microcontroller, generates a magnetic field. When both plates 111 extend and align, the microcontroller sends an electrical current through the coils in the strips 112, producing opposing or attractive magnetic fields depending on their polarity. These magnetic forces cause the strips 112 to attract and lock onto each other, forming a stable and secure connection between the plates 111. This magnetic bonding ensures that the stabilizing platform remains rigid and intact during movement, enhancing balance and support as the user is transported by the motorized wheels 109.
[0044] Simultaneously, the microcontroller activates a Scott Russell assembly 114 installed beneath each of the bodies 101 to adjust the orientation of a pair of extendable poles 113 configured with the assembly 114 to adjust positions of the poles 113 in a manner that allows the user to easily grasp their ends during transit, providing additional balance and support during the rapid movement. The Scott Russell assembly 114 is a mechanical linkage assembly 114 designed to convert linear motion in one direction into linear motion in a perpendicular direction, making it highly effective for controlled movement in compact spaces. In the context of adjusting the positions of the extendable poles 113, the assembly 114 typically consists of a combination of rigid links and sliding joints arranged in a specific configuration. When actuated by the microcontroller—either through a motor or pneumatic input—one of the links moves linearly, causing the perpendicular link (to which the poles 113 are attached) to extend or retract accordingly. This controlled motion adjusts the orientation and position of the poles 113, guiding them into an optimal position where the user comfortably grab them during transit.
[0045] Once the poles 113 are properly positioned, the microcontroller actuates them to extend for enabling the user to grasp their ends for added support and stability during transit. The extension and retraction of the poles 113 is regulated by the microcontroller using the same pneumatic unit employed for the retractable sharp-edged pin 104. The pneumatic unit, comprises of an air compressor, cylinders, valves, and a piston, allows for positioning the pole’s end for grabbing them during transit, in view of assisting the user in maintaining balance while accelerating towards the safe location.
[0046] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrode named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.
[0047] The present invention work best in the following manner, where the pair of wearable bodies 101 are worn on the feet by the user and integrated with the artificial intelligence-based imaging module 102 that continuously captures images and extracts facial features and behavioral patterns to detect potential threats using the microcontroller. The microcontroller is pre-fed with predefined threat profiles, analyzes data and activates the GPS module integrated via the IoT module for real-time location tracking. Upon detecting the threat then the microcontroller evaluates optimized escape routes and activates the vibrating units 103 embedded within the wearable bodies 101 to provide directional tactile feedback. In case of close-range threats then the microcontroller activates the retractable sharp-edged pin 104. Once extended, the pin 104 delivers the adjustable, non-lethal electric pulse through the electric pulse emitter 106 to incapacitate the attacker temporarily. The expandable sheet 107 embedded with the ultrasonic sensor deploys around the user's leg to form the protective guard and reinforced by the inflatable member 108 activated by the air compressor. For non-ambulatory evacuation the extendable links 110 deploy motorized wheels 109 and the expandable plates 111 form the stabilizing platform through the electromagnetic strips 112. Simultaneously, the Scott Russell assembly 114 adjusts and deploys the extendable poles 113 to assist the user in maintaining balance.
