Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a personal security platform. In particular, the present disclosure relates to such systems designed to be worn or attached to one'"'"'s garment during use to provide safety and security measures and help if facing hostility, aggression, harassment, or any other emergency situation mostly while in an outdoor activity such as biking, jogging, walking, usage of any open vehicle and the like. Additionally, another aspect of the security platform is protecting users of open vehicles, where a signaling system is provided, comprising a vest or a wearable item having a rear-facing display, a controller and optionally, a front-facing display. The vest is configured to communicate with the controller for operating the display. The controller is configured to operate the display based at least on data from a GPS module and one or more motion sensors.

Claims

1. A personal security platform for providing automatic security measures, said personal security platform comprising:

a wearable item comprising a micro-processor, a command signal generating unit and a communication interface,

said micro-processor configured to execute a software application module;

said command signal generating unit configured to generate at least one command signal communicating via said communication interface for controlling at least one protecting agent;

said communication interface further operable to provide a communication channel to a remote device;

a location tracker module for tracking a location, said tracker module configured to provide location based data; and

wherein at least one said personal protecting agent comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and

said software application module is configured to communicate with at least said unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) such that the software application module controls said UAV.

2. The personal security platform of claim 1, wherein said wearable item comprises said location tracker module.

3. The personal security platform of claim 2, wherein said location tracker module comprises a satellite navigation system.

4. The personal security platform of claim 2, wherein said location tracker module is configured to communicate with an external satellite navigation system.

5. The personal security platform of claim 1, wherein said wearable item is configured to retrieve map data from an external source, based on data from said location tracking module.

6. The personal security platform of claim 1, wherein at least one said protecting agent is selected from one or more of:

a rear-facing display, front-facing display, at least one motion sensor and at least image capturing device.

7. The personal security platform of claim 6, wherein said rear-facing display is visible to an observer behind the user and wherein said front-facing display is visible to an observer before the user when wearing the wearable item, said rear-facing display and said front-facing display, each comprising one or more indicators.

8. The personal security platform of claim 7, wherein said rear-facing display is operable to receive said at least one command signal thereby controlling each of said indicators according to said at least one command signal.

9. The personal security platform of claim 6, wherein said at least one motion sensor is configured to determine at least one motion parameter associated with said user.

10. The personal security platform of claim 9, wherein said at least one motion sensor is selected from a group consisting of:

an accelerometer, a tilt sensor, a proximity sensor and combinations thereof.

11. The personal security platform of claim 6, wherein said at least one image capturing device comprises at least one camera.

12. The personal security platform of claim 11, wherein said at least one camera is selected from a group of cameras consisting of a front camera, a back camera, a side camera and combinations thereof.

13. The personal security platform of claim 6, wherein said at least one image capturing device is operable to receive said at least one command signal thereby controlling the operation of said at least one image capturing device and provide at least one captured image.

14. The personal security platform of claim 1, further comprising a user interface comprising one or more activation interfaces.

15. The personal security platform of claim 14, wherein said activation interface comprises a manual device operable to transmit one or more manual commands to the command signal generating unit to generate said at least one command signal such that the personal security platform is manually activated.

16. The personal security platform of claim 15, wherein said manual device is selected from a group consisting of:

a push button, a button, a lever, a switch, a handle, a knob and a pull cord.

17. The personal security platform of claim 14, wherein said activation interface comprise a voice sensitive microphone operable to transmit one or more voice commands to the command signal generating unit to generate said at least one command signal such that the wearable signaling system is voice activated.

18. The personal security platform of claim 1, wherein said software application module is configured to communicate with at least one said unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via said communication channel.

19. The personal security platform of claim 1, further comprising an emergency services module characterized by at least one feature selected from:

said emergency services module being operable to activate emergency calls according to a pre-configured emergency call list;

said emergency services module being operable to receive said at least one command signal thereby controlling the operation of at least one emergency service;

said emergency services module being operable to activate at least one flashlight of at least one said unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via said communication channel;

said emergency services module being operable to activate at least one speaker of at least one said unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via said communication channel;

said emergency services module being operable to activate said at least one emergency service automatically;

said emergency services module being operable to activate said at least one emergency service manually; and
