Portable safety mechanism with voice input and voice output
First Claim
1. A portable safety mechanism, with the portable safety mechanism being selected from the group consisting of hand carriable and hand pushable mechanisms, with the portable safety mechanism including a processor, a transmitter and receiver with the portable safety mechanism further comprising:
- a) a plurality of inputs, with the inputs comprising a microphone, a global positioning system, and an image scanner;
b) a plurality of outputs, with the outputs comprising a speaker and a warning device;
c) means for converting signals from each of the inputs into digital form;
d) means for processing the signals that have been converted into digital form to produce a digital result; and
e) means for converting the digital result into a form that may be realized by one of the outputs and hence realized by a person, with the means for converting the digital result comprising means for realizing a voiced form through the speaker.

Abstract
A portable safety mechanism housed in a cane, a walking stick or a belt-carried housing. In each of such embodiments, the portable safety mechanism includes a processor, a transmitter, a receiver, and an outside image sensor or scanner, a warning device such as an audible warning device or warning light. The scanner may, for example, sense the shape of a traffic signal or the color of a traffic signal. The portable safety mechanism may further be housed in a wheelchair or walker. The portable safety mechanism may employ computer telephony technology.
