Abstract: An apparatus, including a drone which is assigned to a venue and programmed or configured for flight, navigation, or operation, within an interior of the venue. The drone is activated upon an occurrence of a drone activation event, and the drone flies or navigates inside the venue in response to the drone activation event. The drone finds or locates an individual or an animal inside the venue, and initiates a communication link with a communication device, wherein the communication device is located at a location remote from the venue. An audio recording device or a video recording device of or at the drone records audio information or video information, and the drone transmits the audio information or the video information to the communication device or to a computer. The computer is located at a location remote from the venue. The drone provides audio information via a speaker.

Abstract: An apparatus, including a controller, camera, display, speaker, global positioning system, and sensor or detector which senses or detects a dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition at or in a vicinity of the apparatus. The sensor or detector senses or detects the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition, and the apparatus provides, via the speaker, an audible alarm, siren blare, or verbal message, containing information regarding the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition. The apparatus or the controller generates an alert message containing information regarding the dangerous, hazardous, or unsafe, condition. The apparatus transmits the alert message to a central processing computer, to a communication device of a parent, relative, or friend, or other authorized individual, or to a police or law enforcement communication device.

Abstract: An apparatus, including cameras, microphone, speaker, processor, display, touchscreen keyboard, global positioning system, and collision avoidance sensor. Upon detecting a texting, e-mail, operational mode, game or gaming operational mode, or speakerphone, operational mode, the processor activates a camera and the collision avoidance sensor. The display displays a view in front of, or an anticipated travel path of movement of, the apparatus. The processor monitors a location of the apparatus. If the apparatus is outside of the safe area of travel, the processor activates the camera or a second camera to record a picture or video at the apparatus. The processor generates a notification message containing the picture or the video or containing a link to the picture or the video. The apparatus transmits the notification message to a communication device associated with an authorized individual or law enforcement personnel.

Abstract: An apparatus, including cameras; a microphone; a speaker; a processor; a display; a touchscreen keyboard; a global positioning system; and a collision avoidance sensor. The processor detects a texting, e-mail, game or gaming, or speakerphone, operational mode and activates a camera to display a view in front of, or an anticipated travel path of movement of the apparatus. The global positioning system determines a position or location of the apparatus. The processor determines whether or not the apparatus is located outside of a safe area of travel. If the apparatus is outside of the safe area of travel, the processor activates a camera to record a picture or video at the location of the apparatus, and generates a notification message containing the picture or video, or a link thereto. The apparatus transmits the notification message to a communication device associated with an authorized individual or law enforcement personnel.

Abstract: An apparatus, including a processing device, a camera for obtaining a view, a picture, or video, a display device for displaying information, the view, picture, or video obtained by the camera, and a global positioning system for determining a position or a location of the apparatus. The global positioning system determines a position or location of the apparatus. The apparatus identifies a municipal subdivision in which the apparatus is located, identifies a nearest police department, fire department, hospital, hotel, point of interest, or individual, generates a report containing information regarding the identified nearest police department, fire department, hospital, hotel, point of interest, or individual, located in the municipal subdivision, and contact information for the nearest police department, fire department, hospital, hotel, point of interest, or individual, and provides at least a portion of the information contained in the report via the display device.
