Abstract

The personal alarm watch is an improved athletic sports watch, which includes the traditional time related features of a wristwatch along with a plurality of personal alarm features integrated therein. The wristwatch includes a pulse sensor integrated into a bottom surface that is in dermal contact with the end user'"'"'s wrist in order to detect pulse, and which relays said information to a processing means located inside of the wristwatch. The wristwatch also includes a location-based technology along with the ability to communicate with the local authorities upon depression of a panic button in order to provide an alarm thereto. A speaker being manifested with said watch nay provide an additional level of security by emitting an audible alarm. Upon transmission of said alarm to said local authorities, the wristwatch further transmits an electronic file containing biographical and/or medical information about the end user.

Claims

1. A personal alarm watch comprising:

a CPU in wired communication with a display, a pulse sensor, a GPS unit, a cellular transceiver, a memory unit stored with an electronic file detailing medical and biographical information, a panic button, a powering means;

wherein upon depression of the panic button, the CPU signals an alarm to a local 911 dispatch operator via the cellular transceiver, and which communicates said electronic file as well as to the location of the personal alarm watch via the GPS unit;

wherein the CPU is also in wired communication with a speaker that emits an audible alarm simultaneous with the alarm transmitted via the cellular transceiver;

wherein a housing is defined with a top surface upon which said display is provided;

wherein the display is responsible for displaying certain information in the form of time of day, a timing or stopwatch data, and/or pulse data;

wherein said certain information is controlled via a clock that is in wired communication with said CPU;

wherein the housing is further defined with a bottom surface upon which said pulse sensor is provided;

wherein the pulse sensor is located on the bottom surface such that the housing enables the pulse sensor to touch against the wrist of the end user when so worn;

wherein the pulse sensor may compute the pulse of the end user, which is then presented on the display as pulse data.

2. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 1 wherein the CPU is wired to said panic button, which is located on a first side surface of the housing.

3. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 2 wherein the CPU is wired to a lock button, which is in turn wired to the panic button, which is in turn wired to the cellular transceiver;

wherein the cellular transceiver is only able to telephone a designated number such as “

911”

,and which is adapted to different numbers that may have the same call function as is associated with different regions or countries throughout the world.

4. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 3 wherein the CPU is wired to a time set button and deactivate button, which are collectively provided on a second side surface of the housing;

wherein the deactivate button is included in order to recall or retract an alarm when erroneously set.

5. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 4 wherein the CPU is wired to at least one battery in order to power the personal alarm watch.

6. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 1 wherein the electronic file includes such information as the name, age, medical history, address, a picture of the end user, fingerprints, height, weight, hair color, eye color, skin color, sex, and emergency contact information.

7. The personal alarm watch as described in claim 1 wherein the personal alarm watch is synched up with at least one more personal alarm watch such that alarms a communicated to one another via a cell phone tower.

8. A personal alarm watch comprising:

a CPU in wired communication with a display, a pulse sensor, a GPS unit, a cellular transceiver, a memory unit stored with an electronic file detailing medical and biographical information, a panic button, a powering means;

wherein upon depression of the panic button, the CPU signals an alarm to a local 911 dispatch operator via the cellular transceiver, and which communicates said electronic file as well as to the location of the personal alarm watch via the GPS unit;

wherein the CPU is also in wired communication with a speaker that emits an audible alarm simultaneous with the alarm transmitted via the cellular transceiver;

wherein a housing is defined with a top surface upon which said display is provided;

wherein the display is responsible for displaying certain information in the form of time of day, a timing or stopwatch data, and/or pulse data;

wherein said certain information is controlled via a clock that is in wired communication with said CPU;

wherein the electronic file includes such information as the name, age, medical history, address, a picture of the end user, fingerprints, height, weight, hair color, eye color, skin color, sex, and emergency contact information;

wherein the personal alarm watch is synched up with at least one more personal alarm watch such that alarms a communicated to one another via a cell phone tower.
