First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of tracking devices for safety purposes, comprising:
- receiving, at a controller, status information from at least one mobile device;
computing, at the controller, a threat level associated with the mobile device based on the status information;
transmitting a distress signal from the controller to a remote location if the threat level is above a threshold level, or, initiating by the controller an action selected from a group consisting of video recording, audio recording, and activating a remote electrical device; and
displaying the threat level on a display coupled to the controller.

7. A safety device, comprising:
-
a controller configured to receive status information from at least one mobile device; a sensor configured to detect an input value comprising of at least one of a shock value, a vibration value, an audible value, an acceleration value, a rotational value, or a temperature value; a processor coupled to the sensor and the controller, the processor configured determine if the input value exceeds a predetermined threshold, the processor further configured to determine a threat level based on at least one of the status information and the input value; a signal transceiver coupled to the processor; a data capture means coupled to the processor; an audio output means coupled to the processor; and a video display screen coupled to the processor, wherein the signal transceiver is configured to transmit a distress signal including at least one of a location data, an audio data, or a video data to a remote location if the processor determines that the value exceeds the predetermined threshold, and wherein the video display screen is configured to display an indication corresponding to the threat level. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
