Description:
BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a Save Our Soul (SOS) system and particularly to a wearable device for real-time emergency response.
Description of Related Art
[002] Women encounter unsafe situations in public and private environments, particularly during travel, late working hours, or isolated conditions. Immediate access to assistance during such circumstances remains uncertain due to sudden threats, physical restraint, or psychological shock. In many cases, victims fail to contact authorities or trusted persons at the moment of danger.
[003] Absence of real-time evidence further weakens legal recourse and reduces the probability of timely intervention. A technological gap therefore exists in ensuring rapid alert generation, situational documentation, and location-based response during emergency events.
[004] Conventional safety solutions include mobile-based panic button applications, emergency helplines, wearable alert bands, and short message service (SMS) alert systems. Certain smartphone applications permit manual activation of distress signals to predefined contacts or law enforcement agencies.
[005] Some wearable devices incorporate a dedicated panic button that transmits location coordinates upon user activation. A few advanced systems provide audio capture or limited tracking features through mobile devices connected to internet services.
[006] Despite such developments, existing solutions suffer from significant limitations. Most systems depend entirely on manual activation, that is not be feasible under physical assault, fear, or device snatching. Several solutions lack automatic threat detection capability and fail to capture visual evidence at the time of incident.
[007] Many applications rely on stable internet connectivity, that do not remain available in remote or enclosed areas. Additionally, absence of synchronized evidence transmission and verified time-location documentation reduces reliability for investigative and legal purposes. Consequently, present technologies do not provide a fully integrated and autonomous emergency response mechanism.
[008] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced wearable device for real-time emergency response that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] As used herein, the term “user” refers to any natural person who may wear, operate, carry, or otherwise interact with the wearable device for purposes of safety monitoring, emergency response, or related functionalities. The term “user” may include, but is not limited to, women, students, working professionals, travelers, senior citizens, healthcare workers, night-shift personnel, security staff, or any individual seeking enhanced personal safety, and so forth. The term “user” shall be interpreted broadly and is intended to include any person capable of utilizing the wearable device in accordance with the embodiments described herein, unless expressly stated otherwise.
[0023] FIG. 1A illustrates a diagram of a wearable device 100 for real-time emergency response, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In an embodiment of the present invention, the wearable device 100 may be adapted as an intelligent eyewear apparatus adapted to detect emergency conditions, capture real-time video evidence, and transmit alert notifications to an external unit. The wearable device 100 may integrate sensing, processing, recording, communication, and feedback components within a compact frame 102 suitable for continuous user deployment. In many emergency scenarios, an attacker may attempt to snatch or damage a smartphone. Thus, preventing manual activation of a safety application. A victim may be physically restrained or psychologically shocked, rendering manual interaction with the smartphone impractical. Conventional mobile-based panic systems therefore may fail under such conditions. The wearable device 100 may be adapted to operate independently of immediate manual access to the smartphone. The wearable device 100 may automatically initiate emergency procedures without requiring the user to unlock, retrieve, or physically operate the smartphone.
[0024] Further, during emergency situations, victims may experience fear, panic, psychological shock, or cognitive freezing, that may prevent timely manual activation of conventional safety mechanisms. The wearable device 100 may be adapted to detect emotional indicators through sensors without requiring conscious manual action. Furthermore, the wearable device 100 may be configured to analyze stress-related physiological signals. The wearable device 100 may automatically initiate emergency recording and alert generation upon detection of abnormal stress patterns exceeding predefined emergency detection thresholds. Moreover, the wearable device 100 may be adapted to generate legally reliable evidentiary records suitable for investigative and judicial purposes.
[0025] Thus, unlike conventional systems that rely exclusively on manual panic button activation, the wearable device 100 may be adapted to autonomously detect emergency conditions using multi-sensor evaluation and predefined emergency detection thresholds. The wearable device 100 may further be configured to capture real-time visual evidence through an embedded camera 118 (as shown in FIG. 1B) and transmit synchronized alerts through a communication unit 122 (as shown in FIG. 1B). Thus, the wearable device 100 provides an integrated and autonomous emergency response mechanism not available in prior mobile-based safety applications.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile computing device 200 may be adapted to receive real-time emergency notifications transmitted by the communication unit 122 of the wearable device 100. The mobile computing device 200 may be adapted to display information associated with detected emergency conditions to the user. The mobile computing device 200 may enable the user to monitor emergency status, view recorded video, access geographic location information, and review alert history transmitted from the wearable device 100.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile computing device 200 may be further configured to allow the user to remotely monitor emergency events, confirm alert transmission, and provide control inputs. The control inputs may include manual emergency activation, cancellation of false alerts, or configuration of predefined emergency contacts. The mobile computing device 200 may be adapted to display real-time notifications, historical emergency records stored in associated memory, recorded multimedia evidence, and system activity information to enhance user awareness and safety monitoring.

[0059] FIG 3 illustrates components of the processing unit 116 of the wearable device 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The processing unit 116 may comprise an emergency detection module 300, a location acquisition module 302, an alert generation module 304, and a communication control module 306.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, the emergency detection module 300 may be configured to receive conditioned trigger inputs from the input conditioning unit 114. The conditioned trigger inputs may represent emotional indicators, pressure signals, sudden motion signals, manual activation input, and so forth. The emergency detection module 300 may analyze the conditioned trigger inputs to determine whether the conditioned trigger inputs satisfy predefined emergency detection thresholds. In an exemplary scenario, if the emergency detection module 300 determines that the conditioned trigger inputs exceed the predefined emergency detection thresholds, then the emergency detection module 300 may generate an emergency trigger signal. The emergency detection module 300 may be configured to deliver the emergency trigger signal to the location acquisition module 302. In another exemplary scenario, if the emergency detection module 300 determines that the conditioned trigger inputs does not exceed the predefined emergency detection thresholds, then the emergency detection module 300 may continue receiving conditioned trigger inputs from the input conditioning unit 114.
[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the emergency detection module 300 may be configured to evaluate multiple trigger inputs simultaneously, including emotional indicators from biosensors 106, pressure signals from the pressure sensor 108, sudden motion signals from the motion sensor 110, and manual activation input received through the input unit 112. The processing unit 116 may be configured to correlate multiple trigger inputs to reduce false positives and minimize false negatives. Such multi-trigger redundancy may enhance reliability compared to single-trigger panic button systems. Further, the multi-trigger redundancy may ensure higher probability of emergency detection even if one trigger mechanism fails or is obstructed.
[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the location acquisition module 302 may be configured to receive the emergency trigger signal from the emergency detection module 300. In an embodiment of the present invention, the location acquisition module 302 may be configured to obtain real-time geographic location data of the user through the location engine 120 associated with the mobile computing device 200. The geographic location data may comprise latitude, longitude, time reference parameters, altitude information, positional accuracy indicators, and related coordinate metadata. In an exemplary scenario, if the location acquisition module 302 retrieves valid geographic location data, then the location acquisition module 302 may be configured to transmit the retrieved geographic location data to the alert generation module 304.
[0063] In an embodiment of the present invention, the alert generation module 304 may be configured to receive recorded video from the embedded camera 118 and geographic location data from the location acquisition module 302. The alert generation module 304 may be configured to structure an emergency alert comprising the recorded video and the geographic location data. The alert generation module 304 may be configured to append time-stamp metadata and location-stamp metadata to the emergency alert. Further, the alert generation module 304 may be configured to format the emergency alert into a predefined data structure suitable for wireless transmission. Upon generation of the emergency alert, the alert generation module 304 may be configured to transmit the structured emergency alert to the communication control module 306.
[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the communication control module 306 may be configured to establish a wireless communication link between the wearable device 100 and the mobile computing device 200 through the communication unit 122. The communication control module 306 may be configured to manage pairing protocols, authentication procedures, signal integrity verification, and communication session maintenance. In an exemplary scenario, upon successful establishment of the wireless communication link, the communication control module 306 may be configured to transmit the recorded video to the mobile computing device 200. Further, the communication control module 306 may be configured to transmit the emergency alert to predefined recipients including law enforcement authorities, emergency contacts, and so forth. In an embodiment of the present invention, if signal interruption occurs, then the communication control module 306 may be configured to attempt retransmission until delivery confirmation is obtained.
[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, the communication control module 306 may be configured to transmit the emergency alert simultaneously to predefined emergency contacts and to law enforcement authorities. The output unit 126 may structure the emergency alert such that both personal contacts and official response agencies receive synchronized notifications comprising recorded video, geographic location data, and time reference parameters. Such dual-channel alert transmission may enhance redundancy. The dual-channel alert transmission may increase likelihood of rapid assistance.
[0066] The wearable device 100 may be adapted to provide faster emergency response compared to conventional mobile application-based systems. Upon detection of a potential emergency condition, the processing unit 116 may simultaneously enable video recording through the embedded camera 118, obtain real-time geographic location data through the location engine 120, and generate an emergency alert through the alert generation module 304. Such parallel operational architecture may reduce latency. Further, the parallel operational architecture may ensure that emergency alerts comprising multimedia evidence and geographic coordinates are transmitted with minimal delay.
[0067] FIG. 4 depicts a flowchart of a method 400 for real-time safety monitoring and emergency response using the wearable device 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention. At step 402, the wearable device 100 may monitor the received trigger inputs from the input unit 112 integrated within the wearable device 100.
[0068] At step 404, the wearable device 100 may analyze the conditioned trigger inputs against predefined emergency detection thresholds.
[0069] At step 406, the wearable device 100 may detect the potential emergency condition based on the analysis or upon receipt of the manual activation input.
[0070] At step 408, if the emergency condition may be detected then the method 400 may proceed to a step 410. Otherwise, the method 400 may revert to the step 402. At step 410, the wearable device 100 may enable video recording through the embedded camera 118.
[0071] At step 412, the wearable device 100 may obtain the real-time geographic location data of the user through the location engine 120.
[0072] At step 414, the wearable device 100 may generate the emergency alert comprising the recorded video and the geographic location data.
[0073] At step 416, the wearable device 100 may establish the wireless communication link between the wearable device 100 and the mobile computing device 200 through the communication unit 122.
[0074] At step 418, the wearable device 100 may transmit the recorded video to the mobile computing device 200.
[0075] At step 420, the wearable device 100 may transmit the emergency alert to the predefined recipients, the law enforcement authorities, the emergency contacts, and so forth. , Claims:CLAIMS
