Abstract

A system for monitoring a safety condition of a user includes: a hero device; a measuring device; and a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a processor and a memory device, the memory device configured to store a safety mobile application enabling the mobile device to: record a video recording of the user using the measuring device during a measuring period, receive, from the measuring device, user data measured by the measuring device of the user during the measuring period, transmit, to a server, the user data and video recording of the user from the measuring period, and transmit, to the hero device, a status report message comprising the user data and video recording of the user from the measuring period.

Claims

1. A system for monitoring a safety condition of a user, the system comprising:

a hero device;

a measuring device; and

a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a processor and a memory device, the memory device configured to store a safety mobile application enabling the mobile device to;

record a video recording of the user using the measuring device during a measuring period,

receive, from the measuring device, user data measured by the measuring device of the user during the measuring period,

transmit, to a server, the user data and video recording of the user from the measuring period, and

transmit, to the hero device, a status report message comprising the user data and video recording of the user from the measuring period.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the measuring device is a breathalyzer.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to:

receive, from the user, a request for assistance from a hero; and

transmit, to the hero device, a request message for assistance from the hero, the request message having the user data, the video recording of the user from the measuring period, and a geolocation of the mobile device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to determine a geolocation of the mobile device, wherein the status report message transmitted to the hero device further includes the geolocation of the mobile device.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the measuring device is a first measuring device and the user data is a first type of user data, and wherein the system further comprises a second measuring device, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to:

receive, from the second measuring device, a second type of user data measured by the second measuring device; and

transmit, to the server, the second type of user data; and

wherein the status report message further comprises the second type of user data.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the hero device is associated with a predetermined contact selectable on the mobile device.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the status report message includes user identification information.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the user identification information includes at least one of a time stamp and a date stamp.

9. A system for monitoring a safety condition of a user, the system comprising:

a hero device; and

a mobile device associated with the user, the mobile device comprising a processor and a memory device, the memory device configured to store a safety mobile application enabling the mobile device to;

receive, from the user, an indication of an emergency situation,

record a video of the user in the emergency situation,

determine a geolocation of the mobile device, and

communicate to the hero device a message comprising the video of the user in the emergency situation and the geolocation of the mobile device.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the message is a first message, and wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to:

determine whether the geolocation of the mobile device has changed to a new geolocation; and

communicate to the hero device a second message having the new geolocation of the mobile device.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the video is a first video and the message is a first message, and wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to:

record a second video of the user in the emergency situation; and

communicate to the hero device a second message comprising the second video.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to record an audio recording of the user in the emergency situation.

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising a safety server, wherein the safety server is configured to receive, from the mobile device, the video of the user in the emergency situation and to securely store the video of the user in the emergency situation.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the hero device is associated with a predetermined contact selectable on the mobile device.

15. The system of claim 9, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to display confirmation of a receipt of the indication of the emergency situation.

16. A method of monitoring a safety condition of a user, the method comprising:

receiving from the user an indication of an emergency situation;

recording a video of the user in the emergency situation;

determining a geolocation of a mobile device associated with the user; and

communicating a message to a hero device, the message comprising the video of the user in the emergency situation and the geolocation of the mobile device.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

determining whether the geolocation of the mobile device has changed to a new geolocation; and

communicating to the hero device a second message having the new geolocation of the mobile device.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the video is a first video and the message is a first message, the method further comprising:

recording a second video of the user in the emergency situation; and

communicating to the hero device a second message comprising the second video.

19. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

starting an emergency period timer upon receiving from the user the indication of the emergency situation;

monitoring the emergency period timer; and

transmitting a follow-up message to the mobile device upon expiration of the emergency period timer.

20. The method of claim 16, further comprising recording an audio recording of the user in the emergency situation.
