1. A human safety system comprising:
- a circuit including at least one power source;
an internal clock configured to deplete the at least one power source after a first predetermined time period;
a temperature probe in communication with the circuit and configured to measure a user temperature;
at least one use detector in communication with the circuit, the at least one use detector adapted to;
detect if the human safety system is in use;
activate the human safety system when the temperature probe detects the user temperature is changing; and
start the internal clock after a first activation of the human safety system; and
an alert indicator in communication with the circuit, the alert indicator configured to provide indication when the human safety system is activated by the at least one use detector and;
the user temperature is above a maximum user temperature but is below a maximum human condition temperature;
the user temperature is below a minimum user temperature but above a minimum human condition temperature;
orthe internal clock exceeds the first predetermined time period;
wherein the maximum user temperature is less than the maximum human condition temperature,wherein the minimum user temperature is greater than the minimum human condition temperature and less than the maximum user temperature, andwherein the at least one use detector is adapted to deactivate the human safety system when the user temperature is above the maximum human condition temperature for a second predetermined time period or the user temperature is below the minimum human condition temperature for a third predetermined time period.

Abstract
A human safety system includes a circuit including at least one power source; a temperature probe in communication with the circuit; at least one use detector in communication with the circuit; and an alert indicator in communication with the circuit. A method of measuring a temperature of a user includes determining whether at least one use detector is active; determining a user temperature based on sensed temperature; and determining whether the user temperature is within an allowable range.

15. A method of operating a human safety indicator, the method comprising:
-
receiving a maximum user temperature and a minimum user temperature with a microcontroller, wherein the maximum user temperature is less than a maximum human condition temperature and wherein the minimum user temperature is greater than a minimum human condition temperature and less than the maximum user temperature; sensing with the microcontroller at least one user temperature using a temperature probe; determining with the microcontroller whether at least one use detector is active and in use; determining with the microcontroller whether the at least one sensed user temperature is changing; activating a safety indicator upon determining with the microcontroller that the at least one use detector is active and the at least one sensed user temperature is changing; starting an internal clock with the microcontroller after a first activation of the safety indicator, the internal clock configured to deplete a power source of the human safety indicator after a first predetermined time period; determining with the microcontroller whether the at least one sensed user temperature is less than a maximum user temperature and greater than a minimum user temperature; determining with the microcontroller whether the at least one sensed user temperature is greater than the maximum user temperature or less than a minimum user temperature; alerting with the microcontroller if; the user temperature is greater than the maximum user temperature and less than the maximum human condition temperature; the user temperature is less than the minimum user temperature but greater than the minimum human condition temperature;
orthe internal clock exceeds the first predetermined time period; and deactivating the safety indicator with the microcontroller upon determining that the at least one sensed user temperature is greater than the maximum human condition temperature for a second predetermined time period or the at least one sensed user temperature is less than the minimum human condition temperature for a third predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)
