First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a computer processor operable to;
receive body area network (BAN) data;
calculate an end of life of a fall protection harness as a function of the BAN data;
transmit a signal to a BAN associated with a person;
receive from the BAN the BAN data; and
calculate the end of life of the fall protection harness as a function of the BAN data;
wherein the BAN comprises an accelerometer; and
wherein the computer processor is operable to;
receive data from the accelerometer;
determine that a person associated with the fall protection harness has fallen as a function of the data from the accelerometer; and
generate a signal as a function of the determination that the person associated with the fall protection harness has fallen.
