WEARABLE DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

摘要

A portion of data is received from each sensor of a plurality of sensors. An emergency level corresponding to each metric of a plurality of metrics is calculated, where the calculated emergency level is determined based on the portion of data received from the sensors. A total emergency level corresponding to the current situation is calculated, where the calculation of the total emergency level is based on the emergency level calculated for each metric. It is determined whether the total emergency level is above a critical threshold, where the critical threshold is selected by the user. If it is determined that the total emergency level is above the critical threshold, an alert is sent to a party such as one or more local authorities.

1. A method for identifying a situation and sending an alert, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving, by one or more processors, data from at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors included within a wearable computing device, wherein the plurality of sensors includes at least one of a microphone and a video camera; calculating, by one or more processors, one or more emergency levels based, at least in part, on the data received from the at least one sensor, wherein each emergency level of the one or more emergency levels corresponds to at least one metric of a plurality of metrics; calculating, by one or more processors, a total emergency level based, at least in part, on the one or more emergency levels; determining, by one or more processors, that the total emergency level is above a preselected critical threshold; and responsive to determining that the total emergency level is above a preselected critical threshold, causing, by one or more processors, an alert to be sent to a party, wherein the alert includes at least one of audio information captured by the microphone and video information captured by the video camera.
