INDEPENDENT AND AUTOMATIC INCIDENT ALERT DEVICE, SYSTEM & METHOD
First Claim
1. A self-contained autonomous automatic alert device arranged and configured to autonomously detect an incident and transmit an alert to a remote location when an incident occurs relating to an object associated with the device, the device includingan incident detector for detecting at least one characteristic of the incident,a determination device for identifying whether the detected incident requires transmission of an alert, anda transmitter for transmitting the alert to the remote location based on the detected at least one characteristic of the incident, whereinthe device self assesses its available transmission and power resources and automatically determines what alert data, text, or audiovisual receiver infrastructure or receiver systems is/are within range for the available transmission and power resources of the device.

Abstract
An independent and automatic alert device, system and method provides an alert transmission to a remote location in the event of an incident occurring to an object (such as a person or vehicle). Detection means detects at least one characteristic of an incident, such as speed, angle, vector, roll, yaw, heave, pitch, acceleration, deceleration, rate of deceleration (jerk), position, immersion, presence of one or more chemicals, radioactive materials or radiation, temperature, force or overall area of any impact to the object. Determination means identifies whether a detected incident requires an alert to be transmitted. Transmission means transmits an alert to the remote location based on the at least one characteristic of the incident.
