Abstract

A capsule device that will contain a transmitter and power unit that will emit a location/distress signal using satellite or other communication system. After being swallowed, the capsule device will emit a signal identifying the location of the individual, without enemy forces being aware that such a signal is being emitted.

Claims

1. A capsule device comprising a transmitter and a power unit, disposed in a swallowable digestive capsule, wherein said transmitter is adapted to transmit a distress/location signal from inside a human body.

2. The capsule device of claim 1, further comprising a sensor device.

3. The capsule device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is a radio transmitter.

4. The capsule device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is a Global Positioning System transmitter.

5. The capsule device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is a GALILEO satellite radio navigation system transmitter.

6. The capsule device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is a satellite transmitter

7. The capsule device of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is a Wi-Fi transmitter.

8. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by contact with the alkaline in the human body.

9. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by contact with the acid in the human body.

10. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by contact with the saliva in the human body.

11. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by contact with the blood in the human body.

12. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by contact with water.

13. The sensor device of claim 2, wherein the sensor is activated by air pressure.
