Patent number: 9290145Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method that provides a standardized and portable automatic emergency event notification, or AEEN, device which detects a vehicle or other transport emergency event and then automatically and directly dials 911 emergency services and further provides the 911 operator with important information pertaining to the emergency event. Ordinary transport owners may readily install the AEEN device of the present invention into their vehicle or other transport. The AEEN device does not involve a subscription service and the device cellphone which places the 911 call does not require activation on a wireless service network.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: GUARDITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Joseph Thomas Mader, Thomas Edward Mader, Russell Carl McKown

Publication number: 20150232024Abstract: The present application provides a system, method and non-transitory computer readable medium that provides a means of using a vehicle horn as an inexpensive user input interface to serve the function of a simple push button switch for an in-vehicle device or system. The use of the vehicle horn as a user input interface to an in-vehicle device or system is novel. The description of example embodiments illustrates application details that take advantage of the properties of the vehicle horn sound to allow efficient processing that can be implemented on a low cost processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2015Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventors: Russell Carl McKown, Joseph Thomas Mader, Thomas Edward Mader

Patent number: 8750904Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium comprised of in-vehicle passive monitoring and information management system elements which together detect, identify, report and discourage unsafe wireless device use by the operator of a vehicle. An in-vehicle monitoring device determines the vehicle's operational state and location, identifies wireless device transmitter emissions within the vehicle and communicates to a remote information management system in real-time using a wireless network, or after-the-fact, using a locally-installed software version of the information management system. The information management system collects information retrieved from in-vehicle devices and correlates this information with other database information to provide users with timely alerts, tracking, and records of unsafe wireless device use.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Guardity Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Thomas Mader, Thomas Edward Mader, Russell Carl McKown
