Abstract: A system may include a smart ring device capable of wireless communication with a computing device that is configured to transition between one or more states based on user and/or device inputs. In response to switching from a first state to a second state, the smart ring device may send an electronic signal to the computing device indicating the switching. The first state may correspond to a normal condition, and the second state to an emergency condition. In response to receiving the switching related electronic signals from the smart ring device, the computing device may send a request to a second computing device associated with a third-party emergency response service for dispatching resources to a location. Upon receiving confirmation that the signal has been communicated, the smart ring device may provide an output (e.g., vibrate) to confirm success of the sent signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a smart device configured to periodically transmit, via a wireless communication radio, a wireless advertisement comprising a wireless advertisement frame carrying data that identifies the wearable device. The smart device detects an actuation of a physical trigger associated with the wearable device. The smart device automatically generates an interrupt configured to cause the wireless communication radio to cease periodically transmitting the wireless advertisement. The smart device generates emergency alert packet carrying emergency alert data indicative of an occurrence of an emergency based on the actuation of the physical trigger, and transmits broadcast signal carrying the emergency alert packet, wherein the wireless communication radio is configured to retransmit the broadcast signal a plurality of times at decreasing intervals between each time of the plurality of times.
