Semi-covert emergency transmitter
First Claim
1. A semi-covert emergency transmitter device, comprising:
- a microphone for receiving verbal input, and converting that verbal input to an electrical signal;
a voice recognition module adapted for verifying the verbal input was spoken by an intended user;
a processor adapted to provide a coded message in response to the voice recognition module verifying the verbal input was spoken by the intended user; and
an light emitting diode (LED) for transmitting the coded message provided by the processor.

Abstract
A semi-covert emergency transmission device and methodology for soldiers and other such personnel requiring pick-up or rescue is disclosed. The device has a flashlight mode and a transmit mode. In flashlight mode, an LED is turned on to provide an illumination source that can be used in numerous applications. In transmit mode, the device uses the same LED to transmit a coded message that includes information relevant to the user. The coded message can be preprogrammed and stored in the device, or translated in real-time. The transmit mode is further configured so as to confirm that the intended user is the one requesting the transmission of the coded message. The light emitted from the LED can be seen for up to a mile or so away by friendly forces or other potential rescuers.
