  • Publication number: 20190170783
    Abstract: A wearable device for detecting a user state is disclosed. The wearable device includes an accelerometer for measuring an acceleration of a user, a magnetometer for measuring a magnetic field associated with the user's change of orientation, a microphone for receiving audio, a memory for storing the audio, and at least one processor communicatively connected to the accelerometer, the magnetometer, the microphone, and the memory. The processor is identified to declare a measured acceleration as a suspected user state, and to categorize the suspected user state based on the stored audio as one of an activity of daily life (ADL), a confirmed user state, or an inconclusive event.

  • Patent number: 9462444
    Abstract: An apparatus wearable by a user for automatically contacting a public safety access point (PSAP) is disclosed. The wearable apparatus includes several sensors for obtaining datasets. One of datasets is a location of a user. The wearable apparatus also includes a cellular transceiver. The cellular transceiver transmits the datasets to a cloud computing system, receives a classification of the datasets as a user state from the cloud computing system, and contacts a safety access point (PSAP) (e.g., 9-1-1 emergency services, an automated emergency call center, etc.) based on the location of the user.

  • Publication number: 20160105470
    Abstract: Implementations disclose a single button mobile telephone using server-based call routing. A method of an implementation of the disclosure includes receiving, by a processing device, datasets from an apparatus worn by a user, wherein the datasets correspond to an event experienced by the user, in response to a signal to initiate a communication with the user, analyzing, by the processing device, the datasets to determine a type of the event, identifying, by the processing device, one of a plurality of destinations based on the analysis of the datasets and the determined type of the event, and routing, by the processing device, the signal to the identified destination.

  • Patent number: 7522519
    Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, is provided to facilitate communications pursuant to an interactive packet radio communication service, such as an interactive gaming service. When data is to be communicated by a gaming device, or other mobile node, request for channel allocation is made. And, packet data generated at the gaming device is buffered at a buffer and selectably manipulated when buffered thereat pending grant of a channel allocation. Because the data is permitted to be manipulated pending grant of the channel allocation, data packets that become obsolete during the pendency are overwritten, or otherwise caused not to be sent, thereby more efficiently utilizing the channel allocation allocated to effectuate the communication service.
