INTERACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEM

摘要

There is disclosed an interactive system (10) for indicating the status of a given monitored area. The system includes a conventional central computer (11) which may be controlled by an administrator and several conventional remote devices (12) which are controlled by individuals. Should a threat occur a remote device user enters a “trouble” entry (danger signal) into the system into the remote device which signals the central computer. In response to the trouble entry the central computer activates the emergency response sequence which initiates a “lock down” status on the system which allows for an evaluation safety response to be entered by other remote devices. With the lock down status invoked the interface screen of the display or screen (13) of the central computer displays a map which includes color codes (visual indicators) of the status of all locations.
