BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The invention will now be described in greater detail, by way of example with reference to the drawings, in which;
Figure 1 illustrates the architectural view of transmitting device and receiver platform. Figure 2 illustrates the block diagram of the transmitting device or first unit. Figure 3 illustrates the block diagram of the receiver platform or second unit.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As illustrated in Figures 1 , 2 and 3, an alert system made of a transmitting device (1 ) and receiving platform (2). The transmitting device (1 ) is a handheld device that is portable and easy to use by any individual having a database (19), a power supply (17), GPS unit (12), a GSM unit (9), a plurality of keys (4) each having predetermined function for accessing stored data in the database (19); a USB port (20) for external communication to update configuration, a microprocessor (13) to obtain the location data representing location of the first unit (1) from the GPS unit (12) and retrieve stored data for transmitting the user data over a network provider using the GSM unit (9), a SIM card slot (10) having configuration of the network provider.
The transmitting device (1 ) or unit has a database (19) for storing details of one user or multiple user, messages and details of at least one recipient (25) to be contacted upon emergency situation. The details of a user may include personal details and medical details or medical records. The details in the storage is predetermined and also able to be customized using a WIFI, Bluetooth, GSM or USB port (20) connected to any computing or mobile device. The power supply (17) of the transmitting unit are energy sources, including electrical energy transmission systems, energy storage devices such as a batteries and fuel cells, electromechanical systems such as generators and alternators, solar power converters, or another power supply (17). Furthermore, a power supplies have a power input, which connects to the energy source, and a power output that connects to the load. In many power supplies the power input and output consist of electrical connectors. Some power supplies have other types of inputs and outputs as well, for functions such as external monitoring and control.
A GPS unit (12) or location receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits messages that include the time the message was transmitted and satellite position at time of message transmission.
Further, the location receiver may also use a local positioning system (LPS), the LPS navigation system that provides location information in all weather, anywhere within the coverage of the network, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to three or more signaling beacons of which the exact position on earth is known. A special type of LPS is the Real-time locating system; which also allows real-time tracking of an object or person in a confined area such as a building. Unlike GPS or other global navigation satellite systems, local positioning systems don't provide global coverage. Instead, they use (a set of) beacons which have a limited range, hence requiring the user to be near these. Beacons include cellular base stations, Wi-Fi access points, and radio broadcast towers. Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) services are a standard collection of applications and features available to mobile unit subscribers all over the world. The GSM standard also provides separate facilities for transmitting digital data. This allows a mobile phone to act like any other computer (24) on the Internet, sending and receiving data via the Internet Protocol.
The mobile may also be connected to a desktop computer (24), laptop, or PDA, for use as a network interface (just like a modem or Ethernet card, but using one of the GSM data protocols described below instead of a PSTN-compatible audio channel or an Ethernet link to transmit data). Some GSM unit (9) can also be controlled by a standardised Hayes AT command set through a serial cable or a wireless link (using IRDA or Bluetooth). The AT commands can control anything from ring tones to data compression algorithms. In addition to general Internet access, other special services may be provided by the device operator, such as SMS. The keys (14,15) on the transmitting device (1) or unit are made of push-button, touch sensors, switch, keypad or any other form that able to trigger by the individual or user. A switch to off and on the power supply (17) may also incorporated into transmitter unit (1). The USB port (20) can also act as a charging port for the battery or as an external port for communication other electronic device or electronic aid. The transmitter unit (1) is an antenna for GSM, or WIFI dongle or any other signal transmitting device ( 1 ).
The transmitting device (1) may further include additional transmission device such as Bluetooth module, WIFI module or any other RF devices.
The transmitting device ( 1 ) may further include safety or convenience features such as light, sound buzzer, pepper spray, knife and such.
The receiving platform (2) or second unit (2) made of a receiver unit for transmitting and receiving signals, a computer (24), a alert program unit (23) and a server (22) for receiving the user data from the first unit (1), in which the second unit (2) obtain the user data to identify the location and stored data of the first unit (1 ) to perform a program predefined in the alert program unit (23) using the computer (24).
The receiving platform (2) or second unit (2) further includes a graphical user interface (GUI) representation of the alert system for the purpose of tracking and records.
The second unit (2) is a antenna for GSM, or WIFI dongle or any other signal transmitting device (1 ).
The second unit (2) may further include additional transmission device such Bluetooth module, WIFI module or any other RF devices.
