Background of the Invention
The current invention is mainly focused on systems and processes that are employed to monitor for and preclude the likelihood of a future recurrence of a quarantine violation. This can be achieved by using behaviors and actions (for instance, pre-identified behaviors, preemptive actions, etc.) that are ascertained by the use of one or more unique devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and communications networks (for instance, the Internet of Things (IOT), social networks, etc.). This invention is disclosed in US20220386080A1. In US20200051189A1, the current disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for creating, tracking, and enforcing agreements, understandings, and/or contracts (e.g., legal, technical, and social agreements, understandings, and/or contracts; legal, common law, or "handshake-like" agreements, etc.), for example by employing behaviors and/or actions (e.g., pre-identified behaviors, pre-emptive actions, etc.) established through one or more disparate devices, sensors, sensor arrays, and/or communications networks (e.g., the Internet of Things (IOT), social networks, etc.).
Exemplary systems and methods for providing location-based security and privacy to limit user access are presented. One illustrative embodiment of this idea is a system that is configured to limit and condition access to the system and/or data based upon a user's choice of location-based data from a variety of options that are presented by the system for a user to select from. Not just can the user choose one or multiple other options, but also the location-based information is part of the long list of options. It is observable in the document (US20200107155A1). In the patent application number US20220224777A1, the method and system use lossless and stateless compression strategy using data of fixed length comprising frames. Frames with a payload length of M bits are converted to a payload of N bits, with N being smaller than M pieces.
One has to extract the N bits payload from every received frame and then map it via a memory, a programmable logic device (PLD), or a processor in order to reconstruct the original M bits payload and to form the original frame. In order to obtain the original pre-compressed M payload bits, the reconstruction can utilize a sequence of N coefficients which are each multiplied by the corresponding received payload bit and then summed modulo-2. There is potential for application of the technique and system using a vehicle bus, e.g., the Controller Area Network (CAN). The compressed frames can use the same protocol as the uncompressed frames, or they can employ a different protocol. The compressed frames can also have an added code, which can be metadata, error detecting or correcting code, or a verification code associated with authentication. Techniques for saving a sensor's power are training a model to forecast a state of an animal based on a training data set, where the training data set consists of known results with related behavioral data and health data for a plurality of animals; sensing, with a sensor worn on a monitored animal, behavioral data and health data of the monitored animal; providing the behavioral data and health data of the monitored animal to the model; forecasting a state of the monitored animal with the model based on the provided behavioral data and health data; and setting a parameter of the sensor on the monitored animal according to the forecasted state. is available in the document (US11589559B2). While in US10383546B2, the aim of this disclosure is to address the improvement of capabilities for deciding whether or not further medical tests need to be performed in order to diagnose a patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The process comprises establishing that the patient is resting and measuring a partial carbon dioxide pressure in a composite gas, including transferring an expiration from the mouth of the patient to a carbon dioxide analyzer, measuring end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) from each of a plurality of expirations from the mouth of the patient, and computing a composite EtCO2 value. The method further includes comparing the composite EtCO₂ with a series of stored carbon dioxide partial pressure values to produce a signal which specifies whether further medical tests must be performed as a consequence of the comparison, and delivering the produced signal to an indicator, the indicator being adjusted for responding to the produced signal in order to yield an output in a human-readable format.
Summary of the Invention
The current invention is a personal safety and emergency SOS help mobile application, a device for guaranteeing secure communication in situations of urgency. It allows individuals to rapidly get assistance through GPS-based location sharing and tracking, audio and video recording, and offline SMS notification to ensure that distress messages can be sent even where there is no network connection. In order to provide better accessibility, the app has gesture-based activation processes, including shake detection and interval-based check-ins, where users can activate emergency alerts with ease. Providing an easy-to-use and intuitive interface, the app facilitates smooth interaction in times of high stress. Providing a strong and effective solution for safety, this invention provides better personal safety and emergency response, thus making it an indispensable tool for user security in different settings. Personal safety, particularly for women, has emerged as a serious concern globally with an increase in harassment, assault, and other forms of threat. Conventional safety solutions, including emergency call centers and self-defense training, prove insufficient to offer timely help during dangerous situations. Most available mobile apps emphasize sharing locations but do not have an integrated solution that unites various safety features to generate prompt and effective response.
The improvement of GPS technology, cloud computing, and mobile communications has facilitated the creation of more intelligent safety solutions. Nevertheless, issues like bad internet connectivity, inability to offer evidence in real time, and the absence of fluid user interaction still remain. A complete and proactive safety system that enables users to alert their reliable contacts and emergency responders immediately while offering corroborating data like audio and video files is needed. The invention overcomes such challenges through the integration of GPS-based location sharing and tracking, real-time distress signaling, live audio/video recording, and offline SMS alerts in one mobile app. The solution makes it possible for users to request assistance effectively even where internet connectivity is poor while keeping the interface user-friendly to facilitate use in times of need. With the use of contemporary mobile technology, this invention greatly increases personal safety and emergency response effectiveness, which makes it an essential device for protecting people in danger.
Additionally, current safety apps tend to need multiple manual inputs, which are not likely to be possible in high-stress states. Victims might not have the capacity or time to unlock their phones, browse through applications, and manually send out distress calls. This invention eliminates these shortcomings through the use of gesture-based activation methods, e.g., shake detection and regular check-ins, so help can be called in swiftly with minimal input. In addition, the application can operate completely offline, where users can send emergency notifications and report information of utmost importance, like their location, using SMS-based messaging without depending on internet availability. By cutting down on reliance on cloud storage or real-time online databases, this innovation achieves increased accessibility, quicker response times, and overall greater reliability, making it a must-have for personal security in any setting, even low-network or remote environments.
Detailed Description of the Invention
A mobile application capable of offering assistance in case of emergencies and providing personal safety is the subject of the current invention. It is the aim of this software to offer communication that is fast, reliable, and effective in cases of crisis. With the aid of GPS-based position monitoring, real-time distress signaling, offline SMS alerts, periodical check-ins, and shake detection, it allows users to alert their contacts of trust as well as emergency responders. Users can call for help with ease, even under stressful conditions, due to the application, which enhances personal security along with the efficiency of emergency response. Also, the app enables users to make requests for assistance.
The iOS-based innovation's emergency alert system is among the most integral and vital aspects of the invention as it ensures that users have the ability to activate an SOS signal according to a number of different activation methodologies. Shake detection enables users to send out warnings by merely shaking their smartphone, removing the need for any type of human intervention. This eliminates the necessity for users to manually interact with their devices. With the use of frequent check-ins, where verification is requested at given intervals, users are protected from the potential danger of possibly dangerous scenarios. A prompt warning is issued in the event that no response is received or received. Furthermore, an instant access button to the SOS button has the ability to offer an instant way of reaching out to emergency contacts. Not only does the program send a notification of the text message to the saved emergency contacts, but it also automatically places a call to a saved emergency number every time an emergency alert is activated. This allows the program to act instantly in case of an emergency. Also, this guarantees the existence of a vocal connection that is real-time, which allows people to be helped in a more timely fashion.
In order to give real-time location monitoring, the program makes use of global positioning system (GPS) technology to ascertain the user's current location in real time. This facilitates the program to ensure accurate location tracking. When an alert is initiated, the program will send a text message to the user's specified emergency contacts to notify them of where the user is. By the use of this feature, it is possible that assistance will be provided to the user in a timely fashion. This capability ensures that customers can be found and helped in a timely way even in new or distant locations, which enables more potential for success.
There are other features within the application that provide users with the capability of manually recording and storing audio or video proof at any time it becomes necessary to do so. The potential of recording audio and video is encompassed by these features. Before users can activate such recordings, they need to press the button in the application associated with either the audio or video function. Through the use of such technology, the users are assured that they will have complete timing and content control of their recordings. The taken data are stored locally on the device, and users have the ability to send them to emergency contacts if they are required to do so. The collection of such information may prove useful over the course of investigations or legal proceedings. On the other hand, in contrast to cloud-based solutions, this method places a stronger priority on data privacy and security. Consequently, it ensures sensitive information is maintained in the user's control.
The software has an offline SMS alert system included with the purpose of contributing to the objective of enhancing the reliability of communication. The process of sending emergency messages becomes more convenient through this method in areas where internet availability is patchy or non-existent. This renders the program immensely reliable in many places, even those that are positioned in distant areas, as it guarantees users can still access help in situations they need quickly.
The user interface has been made very simple and easy to navigate in order to guarantee that users can access important safety features with the minimum effort. In addition, the app provides customization, through which users can set their emergency contacts, change check-in frequencies, and turn on or off a range of features based on their own needs. Due to its flexibility, the app is suitable for a diverse range of users, ranging from people traveling alone to people in circumstances that are considered high-risk.
This new innovation is an all-inclusive and reliable means of personal safety, considering everything that has been considered. The shake detection, regular check-ins, GPS tracking, real-time distress signalling, offline SMS alerts, automatic calling of emergency contacts, and user-managed audio and video recording are all things that are integrated into one mobile application. Because it prioritizes user privacy highly and makes users immediately available to emergency services, it is a critical tool for the protection of personal information and the ability to respond to emergencies in a number of different situations.
