  • Publication number: 20240127936
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating personalized responsive assistance for a person needing assistance (PNA) is disclosed. The method begins with the system receiving a PNA's contact data and a trust group manager's (TGM) contact data. The system then sends a request to the TGM for association of TGM's device with PNA's device. The system then receives approval and proceeds with storing an indicator of the association of the devices. The TGM then sends the system a person providing assistance's (PPA) data. The system will then send an invite to the PPA, to join a trust group associated with the PNA. After the PPA accepts the invite to join the PPA group, the system will receive a request for an audio/visual connection between the PNA and the PPA. As the PNA is in need of assistance, an audio/visual connection will be permitted allowing the PPA to help the PNA.
