Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic alert generation is presented. The apparatus includes a wireless communications device having a processor, a memory, a location determination chip, a camera, a microphone, a wireless communications circuitry, and a power port, and a connector having a first portion that detachably couples to the power port. and a second portion that attaches to a person or a power source. The wireless communications device automatically generates and transmits an alert upon sensing a detachment of the connector from the power port. The connector may be a power cord, in which case detachment may be sensed based on change in charge status. The connector may be an accessory, such as ear buds, in which case detachment may be sensed based on the position of a mechanical piece in the power port. A recording of the surrounding area immediately prior to the detachment is included in the alert.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting a crime is presented. The apparatus includes a Portable Wireless Communications Device having a processor, a memory, a location determination chip, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, a wireless communications circuitry, and a coupling site. The apparatus also includes a connector having a first portion that detachably couples to the coupling site and a second portion that attaches to a person or an item worn by a person, wherein the portable wireless communications device automatically transmits an alert upon sensing a detachment of the connector from the coupling site. When an attack happens, the sudden motion or jerk causes the connector to detach from the coupling site, causing an alert transmission. The alert may be sent to a predesignated phone number or email address so that there is immediate notification of a crime. An alert phrase may be used instead of detachment.
