Abstract:
Systems and methods for communicating in a network using share signals in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided. In one embodiment, a method for sharing video footage captured by audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices is provided, the method comprising: receiving from a first client device a share signal including first image data including a person of interest; receiving from a second A/V recording and communication device second image data; transmitting to a second client device, the first image data and a request to check the second image data; receiving from the second client device a locate person command signal; searching the second image data for a match of the person of interest; and when a match of the person of interest is found, generating and transmitting an alert signal that includes a notification that the person of interest was matched in the second image data.
Abstract:
A device (10) adapted to detect the presence of a child in a car seat (20) and to generate an emergency warning, is proposed. The device (10) comprises: a sensor arrangement (30, 70) that can be operatively coupled to the car seat (20), the sensor arrangement (30) being adapted to detect a body interacting therewith and to generate a signal indicative of the detection thereof; a communication arrangement (40) comprising a transmitter module (43) coupled to the sensor arrangement (30) and a receiver module (43) that can be coupled to a communication interface (61) of a vehicle (60) on which the car seat (20) is mounted, and an energy arrangement (50, 70) operatively connected to the sensor arrangement (30) and to the transmitter module (43) of the communication arrangement (40) and suitable for providing electric energy thereto.
Abstract:
A monitoring system (100) for monitoring the location of a vulnerable person (1000) is described, the system comprising a first wearable tag (120) for attachment to a vulnerable person, a reader (130) for detecting the presence of the first wearable tag, a sensor (140) for detecting the presence of a vulnerable person at a defined location, a transmitter (150) in communication with said first sensor and said reader, and a receiver (160) in communication with said transmitter, wherein the detection of said first wearable tag by said reader in combination with said sensor detecting the presence and subsequent absence of a vulnerable person at said defined location results in an alert signal being transmitted from said transmitter to said receiver. In this way, the movements of a vulnerable person can be more closely monitored and detected, increasing their safety.
Abstract:
A vehicle having a horn and a light includes an alarm system secured to a ceiling of the vehicle. The alarm system includes a housing secured to the ceiling; a computer carried within the housing and in data communication with a thermal imaging sensor configured to determine if a party is left behind after the driver leaves the vehicle; a transceiver operably associated with the computer; and a mobile device operably associated with the transceiver. The method to notify a driver and/or third party if a party is left behind in a vehicle includes determining if the party is left behind via the thermal imaging sensor; and wirelessly notifying driver that the party has been left behind.
Abstract:
A notification device is provided that includes a sensor pad, and an electronics module generates one or more notifications in response to signals received from the sensor pad. In a first embodiment, the sensor pad includes a pressure sensor for sensing pressure applied by a patient and generating a pressure signal, and conductive tracings for sensing moisture due to incontinence and generating a moisture detection signal when moisture is detected. In another embodiment, an absorbent sensor pad includes a sensor pad for sensing moisture and includes an absorbent chuck having a moisture-impermeable sheet with an absorbent material on an upper surface thereof, wherein the moisture-impermeable sheet has an aperture for receiving the sensor pad. The absorbent sensor pad may be provided in the form of a diaper.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring animate presence, including one or more ultrasonic transducers configured to transmit an ultrasonic signal, one or more ultrasonic receivers configured to receive an echo signal in response to the transmitted ultrasonic signal, an electronic circuit for comparing the transmitted signal to the received echo signal and identify a phase shift between the signals; wherein the electronic circuit identifies animate presence based on the identified phase shift.
Abstract:
An incident prediction system and an incident prediction method are provided for predicting an incident. The system comprises a crowd detection interface for receiving a plurality of mobile device identifiers and an incident database wherein a plurality of weight factors is associated with a plurality of stored mobile device identifiers. The weights associated to mobile devices which were present at a site during a previous, historical incident are higher. The system further comprises a prediction subsystem configured for determining a total weight factor at a site to predict an occurrence of an incident. The system and the method may provide information on a composition of a crowd which may help to better prevent incidents from happening. As such, the provided system and method may enable a more effective prediction of incidents compare to currently available systems and methods.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system and method for tracking the location and activities of one or more persons, such as prisoners, persons under house arrest or persons who have to perform community service. A wearable device, such as an anklet, is carried by the person and provided with a location sensor for tracking the offender. A tool used by the offender is provided with sensors for determining its relative position to the wearable device. An association between tool and wearable device is established by physical contact between the two. Position information is communicated to a central server. Pattern recognition and location monitoring enable tracking of the offender and detection of deviation from assigned route or task.
