This disclosure provides systems and methods for providing an emergency alert notification. An electronic communication device can receive, from an alert generation device, a low power advertising packet responsive to an action performed on the alert generation device. Before the action is performed, the alert generation device can be in a low power state, such as a sleep state, to conserve battery. The action can cause the alert generation device to transition from the low power state to a second state in which the alert generation device begins transmitting the advertising packet. The electronic communication device can identify at least one emergency contact to receive an alert based on a contact policy and can determine an alert type based on the contact policy. The electronic communication device can generate the alert including a request for assistance and can transmit the alert to the at least one emergency contact.

Alarm information reporting methods are presented. The method includes encapsulating alarm tokens constituent of a reported alarm in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) tags at communication network equipment reporting alarms. An XML aware parser associated with a network management system, extracts alarm tokens based on the encapsulating XML tags and triggers diverse network management functions based specified presence of alarm token groups in respect of a reported alarm. Each XML tag includes: a specification regarding compliance with of a standard and a recommendation, a specification regarding an alarm type, and a specification regarding an alarm tag name. Advantages are derived from a communication equipment development independence, a network management system development independence, a network management function development independence, employing a single alarm log file for concurrently reporting alarms for multiple network management functions at reduced alarm reporting overheads, an operational resilience of a network management system in respect of a newly reported alarm token in respect of an existing alarm, an operational resilience of the network management system in respect of a newly reported alarm, and only the network management functions requiring a particular no longer reported alarm token in processing an alarm being affected.

A speech therapy system includes a portable voice-monitoring assembly with a voice-sensing first subassembly and a loudness-alert-producing second subassembly. The second subassembly (e.g., a microcontroller-outfitted electronic circuit) produces loudness alerts using a selected one of multiple loudness alert types to better aid the user keep speech characteristics (e.g., speech volume) within a specified range of acceptable voicing. Preferably, the second subassembly records a USAGE TIME parameter, and changes the loudness alert type if the USAGE TIME parameter exceeds a specified value. Preferably, the second subassembly records an EFFECTIVENESS parameter, based upon the duration of use required before the user adjusts their speech to acceptable voicing, and changes the loudness alert type if the EFFECTIVENESS parameter falls below a specified value. Preferably, alerts are included to indicated when voicing levels exceed user-inputted maximum and minimum levels. The methodology of the present invention proceeds accordingly.

Then, client remediation process sets are created to include the processes that are determined to be related to the identified alert and are clustered together to identify the processes to include in the generated composite remediation file for each type of alert, based on correlations existing between the plurality of different client remediation process sets.

A vehicle emergency system, which alerts drivers, passersby, and emergency responders of vehicle and personal emergencies, in occasions that occupant(s) of vehicle(s) is(are) unable to personally request help or notify others, of actual or impending emergencies. Upon activation, the system selects a pre-programmed alert message(s), which is/are conspicuously displayed or relayed, through appropriate media, based on the alert-type selected. The system also can disable a vehicle under certain circumstances. Alert messages are programmed to communicate personal, such as medical emergencies; vehicle-related emergencies, like flat tires or brake problems, as well as requesting assistance. VEMAS prevents accidents and injuries in situations where the driver is unable to properly control the vehicle, by alerting other drivers to steer clear of the vehicle having the emergency. It provides faster medical response, such as CPR, since other drivers, passengers or passersby may be doctors, nurses or other medical professionals who may be able to respond faster than an ambulance or the police. When properly utilized, this system will serve as a safety and security system, which may provide beneficial solutions in life or death situations.
