Abstract
A portable device including a gesture recognizer module for automatically detecting a specific sequence of gestures is described. The portable device may be used to detect a health, safety, or security related event. The portable device may further include an emergency event module for automatically determining whether the sequence of gestures corresponds to an emergency event. The portable device may further include a proximity detection module for automatically determining whether a mobile device corresponding to a user listed as an emergency contact is in a state of proximity to the portable device. The portable device may further include a notification module for automatically transmitting a message, indicating the emergency event, to the user of the mobile device determined to be in the state of proximity.

21. A portable device for use in a wireless network, the wireless network comprising at least one proximity service function for determining a state of proximity of at least a set of mobile devices in the wireless network with the portable device, the portable device comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory comprising; an emergency event module, when executed by the processor, configured to automatically determine whether an input to the portable device corresponds to an emergency event; a proximity detection module, when executed by the processor, configured to, in response to determination of the emergency event by the emergency event module, automatically contact the at least one proximity service function to determine dynamically, substantially in real-time, whether any mobile devices from the at least the set of the mobile devices in the wireless network, corresponding to any of a set of contacts of a user of the portable device, is in a state of proximity with the portable device; and a notification module, when executed by the processor, configured to, in response to determination of at least one mobile device in a state of proximity with the portable device by the proximity detection module, automatically transmit a message to the at least one mobile device determined to be in the state of proximity with the portable device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A portable device for use in a wireless network, the wireless network comprising at least one proximity service function for determining a state of proximity of at least a set of mobile devices in the wireless network with the portable device, the portable device comprising:
-
a processor; a touch screen; a memory comprising; instructions, when executed by the processor, configured to automatically detect a touch event associated with the touch screen; an emergency event module, when executed by the processor, configured to automatically determine whether the touch event corresponds to an emergency event; a proximity detection module, when executed by the processor, configured, to in response to determination of the emergency event by the emergency event module, automatically contact the at least one proximity service function to determine dynamically, substantially in real-time, whether any mobile devices from the at least the set of mobile devices in the wireless network corresponding to any of a set of contacts of a user of the portable device is in a state of proximity with the portable device; and a notification module, when executed by the processor, configured to, in response to determination of at least one mobile device in a state of proximity with the portable device, by the proximity detection module, automatically transmit a message to the at least one mobile device determined to be in the state of proximity with the portable device. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A portable device for use in a wireless network, the wireless network comprising at least one proximity service function for determining a state of proximity of at least a set of mobile devices in the wireless network with the portable device, the portable device comprising:
-
a processor; a memory comprising; an emergency event module, when executed by the processor, configured to automatically determine whether an input received from a wearable device worn by a user of the portable device corresponds to an emergency event; a proximity detection module, when executed by the processor, configured to, in response to determination of the emergency event, automatically contact the at least one proximity service function to determine dynamically, substantially in real-time, whether any mobile devices from the at least the set of the mobile devices in the wireless network, corresponding to any of a set of contacts of the user of the portable device, is in a state of proximity with the portable device; and a notification module, when executed by the processor, configured to, in response to determination of at least one mobile device in a state of proximity with the portable device, by the proximity detection module, automatically transmit a message by using direct communication, enabled by the proximity service function, between the portable device and at least one mobile device determined to be in the state of proximity with the portable device. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40)
