Specification

Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] This invention is part of the personal safety technology field, with a focus on gadgets that use IoT to boost security. It blends live tracking, auto alerts, and user-friendly features to make a tool that helps women feel safer day-to-day. By putting tech to work to offer quick help in emergencies, this invention aims to provide a hands-on dependable answer for personal protection.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
[002] Safety is a major worry for women. This has led to the development of apps, GPS trackers, and wearable gadgets. Though these tools try to help, many have obvious flaws. Most need the user to start an alert by hand, which isn't always doable in emergencies when there's any time to act. Many devices also rely on smartphones, which might not be around, run out of battery, or be too slow to use in a crisis.
[003] Other tools have trouble with bad GPS accuracy making it hard to follow someone in real time. Many don't link up with emergency services causing slow responses. Also, problems like data privacy and the bulky size of some devices have made current options less useful for everyday use.
[004] This product tackles these problems by developing a dependable, user-friendly safety gadget that acts and on its own even when there's no chance to set it off by hand. It provides live tracking, doesn't need smartphones, and protects privacy, making it a more down-to-earth answer for keeping people safe.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[005] This invention serves as a straightforward safety tool to assist women in emergencies. It comes with an SOS messaging feature that sends out quick distress signals to emergency contacts. The device also includes a shake detection function that sends an alert if someone shakes it several times. What's more, it keeps track of the user's location and can guide them to the nearest police station if they need help. These features work together to make getting fast help in risky situations easier providing both instant alerts and support based on location.
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF DRAWINGS:
[006] The diagram shows a real-time emergency alert system built to track and respond to incidents. Here's a detailed breakdown of the parts and how they work together:
[007] NEO 6M GPS Module: This module always tracks where the device is giving up-to-date latitude and longitude info. When an emergency happens, it sends this GPS data to the ESP8266 Node MCU to take action.
[008] ADXL345 3-Axis Accelerometer: The accelerometer looks for quick moves or shakes, which might mean a fall, crash, or other trouble. When it spots such motion, it tells the ESP8266 Node MCU.
[009] Button: This button serves as a manual trigger for emergencies. Pressing it activates the alert system letting others know someone needs help.
[010] ESP8266 Node MCU: This microcontroller functions as the system's core. It collects data from the GPS module, accelerometer, and button. After processing this information, it sends it to a cloud service using WiFi. A basic power supply keeps it running.
[011] WiFi and Internet Access: The ESP8266 links to the internet through WiFi. This connection enables the device to transmit up-to-date data like location and alert status to a server in the cloud.
[012] LED: The LED works as a visual cue. It turns on when the system runs or when an alert happens letting the user know right away that the system works .
[013] Real-Time Cloud Services: After the system sends data (such as location and alert status) to the cloud, these services take care of spreading the alert. The cloud platform makes sure to send the information to the right people , whether through a mobile device or a web app.
[014] Mobile and Web Notification System: After the cloud gets the alert, it notifies connected mobile phones and computers sharing the user's location and status. This system also creates email alerts sending detailed messages to chosen recipients to make sure help knows right away.
[015] To wrap up, this system helps in emergencies. It can start on its own when it senses sudden movement (through the accelerometer) or when someone presses a button. The system sends the user's location and an alert message over the internet to a cloud platform. The platform then sends out notices to both mobile devices and computers as they happen.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[016] This woman safety device system aims to provide a fast and dependable method to send emergency alerts and monitor a woman's location when she's in trouble. The device's heart is a GPS module (NEO 6M) that gathers location data in real time, which is key to informing others of the person's whereabouts. Along with this, the ADXL345 accelerometer picks up any abrupt movements such as a fall or tussle, that might signal an emergency. The system can analyze shake frequency through the ADXL345 helping it gauge how serious the situation is. If it detects movement above a certain level suggesting odd or aggressive motion, it sets off an alert.
[017] The device includes a panic button that the woman can push by hand if she feels in danger. This button, like the motion sensor, sends a signal to the ESP8266 Node MCU-a tiny computer chip that works as the device's control center. When it gets either the panic button signal or input from the motion sensor (after checking the shake pattern), the ESP8266 handles the data and sends it over WiFi to a live cloud service. This cloud service plays a crucial role because it passes on the woman's location and alert status to emergency contacts or the police through their phones or computers.
[018] To show the system works, a light turns on or flashes when it sends an alert. This lets the user know her call for help went out. If more people need to know, the system also emails preset contacts. This makes sure it uses different ways to get help fast. The whole setup runs on a dependable power source, which keeps everything working even in long emergencies.
[019] At its core, this system makes sure help arrives fast using both manual and automatic triggers. The new shake frequency analysis feature adds extra smarts letting the device send alerts based on how severe the movement is. This helps responders know where the woman is and what might be going on. This clever detection system, along with the panic button and automatic messaging through cloud services, helps authorities or emergency contacts give quick help when it matters. , C , Claims:1. Threshold-based Movement Detection: The device, wherein the accelerometer measures the frequency and intensity of movements, sends an SOS message or initiates a call when the measured frequency exceeds a preconfigured threshold, indicating a potential emergency situation.
2. The microcontroller unit transmits the user's profile, including personal identification information, along with the SOS message and real-time location data to the nearest police station using a Google Maps API to track the closest station. Simultaneously, the same alert is sent to predefined guardians or emergency contacts.
