USER-WORN DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DIRECTING A USER IN AN EMERGENCY
First Claim
1. A user-worn device that is worn by a user within a building comprising a building system, the user-worn device comprising:
- a sensor component comprising an environmental sensor for sensing an environment surrounding the user-worn device;
a processing device; and
a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to;
receive an input from the building system;
determine that the input corresponds to an emergency;
determine a response protocol for responding to the emergency based on information received from the building system and the sensor component, wherein the response protocol comprises directions to a location;
provide the directions, via audio cues and haptic cues, to the user, wherein the directions guide the user to the location; and
provide tracking information regarding the location of the user inside the building.

Abstract
User-worn devices, systems containing such user-worn devices, and methods of assisting a user in an emergency are disclosed. A user-worn device includes a processing device and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium includes one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to receive an input from a building system, determine that the input corresponds to an emergency, determine a response protocol for responding to the emergency, provide directions to a user, and provide tracking information regarding the location of the user inside the building. The input is only received when the user-worn device is located within a building having the building system. The directions guide the user to a location.

20. An emergency service system comprising:
-
a building system within a building, wherein the building system monitors the building and detects emergencies; and a user-worn device carried by a user located within the building, wherein the user-worn device interfaces with the building system to receive an input corresponding to an emergency, determines instructions for responding to the emergency based on the input from the building and information received from a sensor component of the user-worn device, provides the user with the instructions, via audio cues and haptic cues, for moving inside of the building during the emergency, and tracks a location of the user inside the building.
