Benefits of technology

The patent describes a personal safety system that uses a mobile device to quickly arm / disarm the system and trigger a panic code in case of an emergency. The system has a single arm / disarm code or multiple codes for added security. Using multiple lifelines ensures that the system can be contacted even if one of the lines fails. Overall, the system simplifies the user's experience and increases safety.

Problems solved by technology

While these applications may be useful and helpful, they do not necessarily address all of the needs of a user.

Embodiment Construction

[0058]FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a personal security system 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the personal security system 10 may include a mobile device 12 in communication with a system server 14. Further, the system server 14 may be in communication with one or more emergency responders 16 and one or more lifelines 18 (as used herein, lifelines are user defined contacts that are contacted in case of an emergency event). As shown, the system server 14 may be associated with a response verification call center 20 through which one or more operators / representatives may interact with the system 10.

[0059]In some examples, the mobile device 12 may be in one-way communication with the system server 14 (e.g., syncing setup information and communicating alarm conditions). Of course, in other embodiments, the mobile device 12 may be in two-way communication with the system server 14 (e.g., syncing setup information and communicating alarm conditions, as well as, confirming receipt of informati...

Abstract

A personal security system includes: a mobile electronic device including a processor and a user input mechanism, wherein the processor is adapted to provide an alarm trigger, wherein the processor is further adapted to: receive a command from a user to provide an armed alarm condition; initiate the armed alarm condition by receiving a continuous user command through the user input mechanism, wherein the continuous user command requires an active physical touch from the user; and when the user ceases to provide the active physical touch required to maintain the continuous user command, trigger an alarm condition. In some embodiments, in response to triggering the alarm condition, the processor communicates geo-location information to a remote server, wherein the geo-location information identifies the geo-location of the mobile electronic device at the time the alarm condition is triggered.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 606,328 filed on Mar. 2, 2012, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present subject matter relates generally to a personal security system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a personal security system embodied in a mobile application. The primary embodiments described herein relate to a personal security system embodied in a mobile application in which a user may arm the system by making contact with a touch screen of a mobile device and the system may be triggered by breaking contact with the touch screen. However, additional embodiments are provided in which the personal security system embodied in a mobile application that is activated by a timer mode. In each of the embodiments, a verified alarm condition triggers communication to emergency first responders and additional predefined co...
