Condition responsive indication assembly and method
First Claim
1. A method for communicating between a plurality of wearable communications assemblies using a central processing unit, a plurality of central base stations, and a plurality of remote base stations, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing communication between the central processing unit and the plurality of central base stations;
establishing communication between the plurality of central base stations and the plurality of remote base stations;
identifying each of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies with the central processing unit;
transmitting communications from each of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies to another of the plurality of wearable communication assemblies using a step selected from the group consisting of communicating directly therebetween, using one of the plurality of central base stations, using one of the plurality of remote base stations, and using the central processing unit;
receiving communications from one of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies via a transceiver selected from the group consisting of another of the plurality of wearable communication assemblies, one of the plurality of central base stations, and one of the plurality of remote base stations to control independent communication between the central processing unit and each of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies;
identifying a portion of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies that is sending communication indicating a conditional threshold is met; and
transmitting threshold limit communication to the portion of the plurality of wearable communications assemblies regarding the threshold limit status.

Abstract
A communications assembly includes a central processing unit and a plurality of portable communication assemblies. The central processing unit transmits central signals and for receiving remote communications from the portable communications assemblies. The portable communications assemblies are operatively connected to the central processing unit transmit the remote communications and receive the central communications. A communications hub is operatively connected between the central processing unit and each of the portable communications assemblies to control independent communication between the central processing unit and the portable communications assemblies. The central processing unit includes an incident identification module for receiving the remote communications and for identifying a portion of the remote communications from a portion of the portable communications assemblies as indicating a situation requiring a communication to be sent to the portion of the portable communications assemblies. The portion may include one or more than one portable communications assembly.
