Abstract

A distress signal system for protecting a person. There is an aesthetic piece; an activation module coupled to the aesthetic piece, wherein the activation module emits an activation signal when exposed to a triggering phenomenon; a notification module in communication with the activation module, wherein the notification module produces an electromagnetic notification signal upon receiving the activation signal, the notification module including: a global positioning module; a cellular telephone; and a microphone in communication with the notification module, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises real-time audio information from the microphone.

Claims

1. A distress signal system for protecting a person comprising:

an aesthetic piece,

an activation module coupled to the aesthetic piece, wherein the activation module emits an activation signal when exposed to a triggering phenomenon; and

a notification module in communication with the activation module, wherein the notification module produces an electromagnetic notification signal upon receiving the activation signal;

wherein the notification module includes a global positioning module and wherein the electromagnetic notification signal includes global positioning information;

wherein the triggering phenomenon is a voice command in communication with an out-of-boundary signal from the global positioning module.

2. The distress signal system of claim 1, wherein the notification module further comprises producing an audible notification signal upon receiving the activation signal.

3. The distress signal system of claim 1, wherein the notification module includes a cellular telephone.

4. The distress signal system of claim 3, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises a telephone call to 911.

5. The distress signal system of claim 1, further comprising a microphone in communication with the notification module, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises real-time audio information from the microphone.

6. The distress signal system of claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal includes personal identification information.

7. The distress signal system of claim 1, wherein the system allows for the communication between two (2), more, or all of the notification modules such that information from each notification module is shared with the other notification modules.

8. The distress signal system of claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal is Morse code, wherein the signal is configured to correspond a current location indicated by a global positioning module.

9. A distress signal system for protecting a person, consisting essentially of:

an aesthetic piece,

an activation module coupled to the aesthetic piece, wherein the activation module emits an activation signal when exposed to a triggering phenomenon;

wherein the triggering phenomenon is a voice command in communication with an out of boundary signal from a global positioning module;

a notification module in communication with the activation module, wherein the notification module produces an electromagnetic notification signal upon receiving the activation signal; and

a microphone in communication with the notification module, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises real-time audio information from the microphone.

10. The distress signal system of claim 9, wherein the notification module further comprises producing an audible notification signal upon receiving the activation signal.

11. The distress signal system of claim 10, wherein the notification module includes the global positioning module and wherein the electromagnetic notification signal includes global positioning information.

12. The distress signal system of claim 11, wherein the notification module includes a cellular telephone.

13. The distress signal system of claim 12, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises a telephone call to 911.

14. The distress signal system of claim 13, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal includes personal identification information.

15. A distress signal system for protecting a person, comprising:

an aesthetic piece,

an activation module coupled to the aesthetic piece, wherein the activation module emits an activation signal when exposed to a triggering phenomenon;

wherein the triggering phenomenon is a voice command;

a notification module in communication with the activation module, wherein the notification module produces an electromagnetic notification signal upon receiving the activation signal, the notification module including;

a global positioning module;

wherein the triggering phenomenon is the voice command in communication with an out-of-boundary signal from the global positioning module;

a cellular telephone; and

a microphone in communication with the notification module, wherein the electromagnetic notification signal comprises real-time audio information from the microphone.

16. The distress signal system of claim 15, wherein the electromagnetic signal comprises a telephone call to 911, global positioning information, real-time audio information, and personal identification information.
