System and method for automated response to distress signal
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating automated response to a distress signal, the system comprising:
- an attachment for a multifunction mobile computing device, whereinthe attachment removably articulates to a sensor location coupled to a housing of the multifunction mobile computing device; and
a computer program product in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable by the multifunction mobile computing device to implement;
detecting a disarticulation of the attachment from the sensor location on the multifunction mobile computing device,responsive to the detecting the disarticulation of the attachment from the sensor location on the multifunction mobile computing device, transmitting to a distress signal response receiver over a radio-frequency network from a radio-frequency transmitter located within a housing of the multifunction mobile computing device the distress signal,responsive to the detecting the disarticulation of the attachment from the sensor location on the multifunction mobile computing device,presenting a distress signal control interface capable of receiving an order from a user of the multifunction mobile computing device to prevent transmission of the distress signal, andresponsive to the order from a user of the multifunction mobile computing device to prevent transmission of the distress signal, preventing transmission of the distress signal.

Abstract
A system for facilitating automated response to a distress signal includes an attachment for a multifunction mobile computing device. In some embodiments, the attachment removably articulates to a sensor location coupled to a housing of the multifunction mobile computing device. In some embodiments, the system includes a computer program product in a non-transitory computer-readable medium. In some embodiments, the program instructions are computer-executable by the multifunction mobile computing device to implement detecting a disarticulation of the attachment from the sensor location on the multifunction mobile computing device, and, responsive to the detecting the disarticulation of the attachment from the sensor location on the multifunction mobile computing device, transmitting to a distress signal response receiver over a radio-frequency network from a radio-frequency transmitter located within a housing of the multifunction mobile computing device the distress signal.
