Abstract

This invention is an algorithm and method and apparatus for communication in emergency situations and for persons who are disabled. The invention features unique telephone actuation means including overt and covert means both by wired devices and wireless transmission to detect unwanted intruders or the like and to communicate the need for assistance or the existence of emergency or dangerous conditions. Communication activation methods and apparatus usable by disabled or endangered persons and/or unknowingly operable by reason of unauthorized intrusion and the like is provided. Unique motion activated notification devices utilizing disc magnets in tracks associated with magnetic switches are also disclosed.

Claims

1. Motion sensing electrical switch means comprising:

magnetically activated electrical switch means;

a multiplicity of track means each of which has a first end adjacent the magnetically activated electrical switch means with its second end radially extending away from the magnetically activated electrical switch means and is at an angular relationship to each of the other track means and each of which is suitable for a magnetic disc to roll upon between said ends.
