  • Patent number: 12635744
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a biometric sensor of a tactical gear to monitor health and stress of a wearer. In one embodiment, personal protective equipment includes a language translator module integrated in a tactical gear, a biometric sensor, and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. A wearer bi-directionally communicates with an individual in an ambient environment using any language other than a primary language spoken by the wearer when the language translator module is activated. The biometric sensor detects the health condition of the wearer. The responsive device vibrates to notify the wearer when the biometric sensor detects an elevated stress level of the wearer of the tactical gear. The biometric sensor is detachable from the tactical gear and placeable on an injured person nearby to the wearer through an armband extendable from the biometric sensor when it is removed from the tactical gear.

  • Patent number: 12602971
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus, system, and method of a visual sensor of a tactical gear to use facial recognition technology to identify a person of interest and to cause a responsive device on the tactical gear to notify a wearer. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a responsive device integrated in a tactical gear and a visual sensor. The visual sensor of the tactical gear identifies a target person using an identity artificial intelligence model. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when the visual sensor identifies the target person. Further, the responsive device notifies an additional person when the visual sensor identifies a threat to a protectee of the wearer and the additional person. The responsive device may vibrate when the visual sensor of the tactical gear detects an ambient threat to the protectee of the wearer.

  • Patent number: 12567282
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of a corrections officer tactical gear using computer vision to notify of an ambient threat. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a responsive device integrated in a tactical gear and a visual sensor of the tactical gear to identify an inmate using an inmate artificial intelligence model. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when the visual sensor identifies an ambient threat to the wearer and/or the inmate. A geo-location device may identify a present location of the wearer when the visual sensor identifies the inmate. When the visual sensor identifies the inmate, a present location of the wearer may be transmitted from the tactical gear to a command center of a correctional facility (e.g., may also identify a distance away and/or a location of the inmate from the present location of the wearer).

  • Patent number: 12392583
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of s body safety device with visual sensing and haptic response using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a body worn safety device includes a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device vibrates when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device may detect the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The visual sensor may be part of an array of visual sensors around a torso of the wearer such that ambient threats around the wearer are captured through the artificial intelligence based threat detection model. A battery unit may be detachable from the tactical gear.

  • Publication number: 20250206473
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of personal protective equipment having a responsive device to vibrate when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a personal protective equipment includes a drone control apparatus integrated into a chest area of a tactical gear and a responsive device integrated in the tactical gear. The responsive device notifies a wearer of the tactical gear when an unmanned aerial vehicle detects an ambient threat to the wearer. The unmanned aerial vehicle is communicatively coupled with the tactical gear. The responsive device detects the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The responsive device may notify a wearer haptically if it is a haptic sensor, auditorily if it is an audio sensor, and/or visually if it is a LED/light based sensor.
