Abstract
An alarm system includes an alarm signalling device having a transceiver for transmitting an alarm signal. The system includes a responder device for receiving the alarm signal, the responder device having a device for signalling an alarm. The alarm signalling device includes an interface for receiving user information and an activating device for activating the transceiver to transmit the alarm signal in response to the user information. The transceiver device further includes a device for receiving a response signal from the responder device.

35. A personal alarm system comprising:
-
a personal alarm signalling device adapted to be worn on a user'"'"'s body comprising a user activatable transceiver for transmission of an alarm signal, and a user activatable responder device adapted to contact outside help via a telephone network in response to the alarm signal, the responder device being provided locally in the vicinity of the user to thereby reduce power required for the alarm signalling device to contact the responder device, the responder device being adapted to receive the alarm signal and to transmit a response signal to the transceiver after receipt of the alarm signal to inform the user of the receipt of the alarm signal, the alarm signalling device comprising a user display for displaying the response signal to the user and an interface for receiving user data, the transceiver being adapted to transmit the user data to the responder device after receipt of the response signal and to receive responder data from the responder device, the interface being adapted to provide the responder data to the user. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)

60. A method of receiving an alarm signal from a user with a personal alarm system including a personal alarm signalling device adapted to be worn on a user'"'"'s body and having a user activatable transceiver for transmission of an alarm signal, and a user activatable responder device adapted to contact outside help via a telephone network in response to the alarm signal, the responder device being provided locally in the vicinity of the user to thereby reduce power required for the alarm signalling device to contact the responder device, the responder device being adapted to receive the alarm signal and to transmit a response signal to the transceiver after receipt of the alarm signal, the alarm signalling device including a user display for displaying the response signal to the user and an interface for receiving user data, the transceiver being adapted to transmit the user data to the responder device after receipt of the response signal and to receive responder data from the responder device, the interface being adapted to provide the responder data to the user, the method comprising the steps of:
-
activating the alarm signalling device, receiving the alarm signal by the responder device, transmitting a response signal by the responder device after receipt of the alarm signal, displaying the response signal to the user, transmitting the user data to the responder device by the personal alarm signalling device after receipt of the response signal and receiving responder data from the responder device, and providing the responder data to the user. - View Dependent Claims (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)
