Assistance summons device for motorcycle or the like
First Claim
1. A distress situation recognizing and remote assistance summoning device for recognizing a distress situation and for summoning assistance via a wireless communications link, the distress situation recognizing and remote assistance summoning device comprising:
- a housing including a clamp, the clamp including a detachable saddle;
within the housing, a microprocessor;
within the housing, a power source and a power circuit connecting the power source to the microprocessor;
within the housing, a first sensor configured to sense a first distress parameter and a second sensor configured to sense a second distress parameter, wherein both the first sensor and the second sensor are communicably connected to the microprocessor;
coupled to the housing, a GPS tracking system including a GPS receiver communicably connected to the microprocessor;
within the housing, a wireless signal transmitter configured to transmit a signal summoning assistance to a remote source of assistance when said first sensor senses a first distress parameter and said second sensor senses a second distress parameter, wherein the wireless signal transmitter is communicably connected to the microprocessor; and
an annunciator configured to annunciate the transmission of the signal summoning assistance via the wireless signal transmitter, wherein the annunciator is communicably connected to the microprocessor.
