Abstract

The present invention is a method and system of determining and collecting data such as, location, weather, temperature, and time to users of a mobile devices. Mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, internet computers, and other hand held mobile devices may be ideal for tracking harmful environmental conditions. The affiliations are determined based upon location of mobile devices as tracked by Internet services and activation of the system by the user. The system may even be enhanced by use of features tailored by the user.

Claims

1. A system for alerting a mobile device user when dangerous conditions threaten one or more occupants of a vehicle comprising:

a safety surveillance computer comprising a processor and software, the software when executed by the processor causes the processor to;

connect to a communication system;

operate at least one window of the vehicle;

receive data from one or more seat pressure sensors, the one or more seat pressure sensors operable to determine presence of, and detect movement of, the one or more occupants;

keep an audio recording from one or more microphones for keeping an audio record;

receive data from one or more temperature sensors, the temperature sensors operable to sense extreme changes in temperature;

wherein if an extreme change in temperature is received, by a central unit, from the at least one temperature sensor, the safety surveillance computer communicates to a first communication device, via the communication system, after the vehicle has been turned off or no movement has been detected by the seat pressure sensors, for five minutes;

if no response is received, from the first communication device, after ten minutes, the safety surveillance computer;

communicates, via the communication system, to a second communication device;

and operates the at least one window of the vehicle.
