METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING MULTIPLE COORDINATED SAFETY RESPONSES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing multiple safety responses, comprising:
- receiving an alarm signal at a remote monitoring center from a first mobile device;
determining, by a processor, a location the first mobile device;
determining, by the processor, at least one nearby mobile device that is within a pre-determined distance of the location of the first mobile device; and
transmitting, by the remote monitoring center, an instruction message to the nearby mobile device, wherein the instruction message includes a response type and a first response frequency at which the response type is to be delivered.

Abstract
The disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for providing multiple coordinated safety responses. In an exemplary embodiment, the disclosure relates to notifying multiple persons who are within a vicinity of a victim, and instructing those persons to provide various safety responses at various frequencies, where the frequency of the response can be related to the closeness of first responders to the scene. The invention uses a safety force multiplier that frustrates, confuses, scares, and/or distracts a potential perpetrator by delivering multiple responses to a scene.

14. A system of coordinating multiple responders to provide safety services, comprising:
-
a processor configured to receive an alarm signal from a first mobile device; a database coupled to the processor, the database including a list of member mobile devices; a location determining means coupled to the processor and configured to identify at least two member mobile devices from the list of member mobile devices that are within a predetermined distance of the first mobile device; and an instruction generator coupled to the processor and configured to transmit first response instructions to the identified member mobile devices, wherein each identified member mobile devices receives a different response instruction. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
