1. A personal security system for automatically warning a user when an item passes a predetermined threshold, comprising:
- a first transceiver;
at least one second transceiver in communication with the first transceiver via a wireless communication link, wherein the wireless communication link has a predetermined operating distance;
a first memory operationally connected to the first transceiver and capable of storing a first predetermined signal;
a first processor operationally connected to the first memory;
at least one second memory operationally connected to the at least one second transceiver and capable of storing at least one second predetermined signal;
at least one second processor operationally connected to the at least one second memory;
wherein when the first transceiver and the at least one second transceiver are separated by a separation distance exceeding the predetermined operating distance, the first transceiver generates the first predetermined signal and the at least one second transceiver generates the at least one second predetermined signal; and
wherein, after being so separated, the first transceiver and the at least one second transceiver are brought back within the separation distance, the first transceiver again generates the first predetermined signal and the at least one second transceiver again generates the at least one second predetermined signal.

Abstract
A wireless, programmable system, including one or more sensors devices, a controller device, and a wireless communication link that operationally connects the sensor device to the controller device(s). The system may alert when a sensor device and controller device exceed a predetermined threshold of distance and/or time. Controller device(s) may also be, or in addition to, a handheld computer device, such as a smartphone. In some other embodiments, the system may be used to detect body positions and/or train a user to achieve desired postures.

14. A method for providing a personal security system, comprising:
-
transmitting digital signals between a first transceiver and at least one second transceiver; detecting a separation beyond a predetermined range of the first transceiver and the at least one second transceiver; and activating at least a first alarm in a device selected from the group consisting of the first transceiver, the at least one second transceiver, and combinations thereof. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for automatically generating an emergency call from a remotely located communications device, comprising:
-
a communications device; a first transceiver operationally connected to the communications device; a memory operationally connected to the communications device and configured to store at least one message in the memory; a first microprocessor operationally connected to the memory, to the first transceiver, and to the communications device; at least one second transceiver configured to generate at least one signal to the first transceiver; at least one actuator switch operationally connected to the at least one second transceiver for initiating the at least one signal; wherein energizing the at least one actuator switch initiates the at least one signal from the at least one second transceiver to the first transceiver; wherein receipt of the at least one signal by the first transceiver initiates transmission of the at least one message to a predetermined recipient over a communications network; and wherein the at least one second transceiver is separate from the communications network.
