Abstract

A system for monitoring a safety condition of a user includes a hero device associated with a hero, and a mobile device associated with the user. The mobile device comprises 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. The recording of the video, the determining of the geolocation, and the communicating of the message are automatically activated in succession following the indication of the emergency situation by the user.

Claims

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

a hero device associated with a hero; 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,

wherein the recording of the video, the determining of the geolocation, and the communicating of the message are automatically activated in succession following the indication of the emergency situation by the user,

wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to determine whether a first type of user data is above a first predetermined threshold and determine whether a second type of user data is above a second predetermined threshold.

2. The system of claim 1, 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.

3. The system of claim 1, 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.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to record an audio recording of the user in the emergency situation.

5. The system of claim 1, 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.

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 safety mobile application further enables the mobile device to display confirmation of a receipt of the indication of the emergency situation.

8. 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, the hero device associated with a hero, wherein the recording of the video, the determining of the geolocation, and the communicating of the message are automatically engaged in succession by an emergency module on the mobile device, the emergency module on the mobile device configured to determine whether a first type of user data is above a first predetermined threshold and determine whether a second type of user data is above a second predetermined threshold.

9. The method of claim 8, 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.

10. The method of claim 8, 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.

11. The method of claim 8, 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.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising recording an audio recording of the user in the emergency situation.
