Tracking the location of an individual's loved one to ensure their safety can be an incredibly difficult process for some. Considering child abduction and kidnappings have become extremely prevalent in society, it is important parents are able to keep track of their child's movement to spot any irregular activity. Individuals with Alzheimer can also be at threat considering sporadic movement and incapability of tracing steps can lead to serious consequences. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
An apparatus to simply yet effectively keep track of your loved one, ensuring their safety especially for children, or individuals with Alzheimers is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
The main purpose of the emergency ring is to give individuals the opportunity to accurately track and monitor the movement of their loved ones through a discrete ring that utilizes an advanced GPS system.
A ring comprising a security protocol circuit configured to accept a user's code to lock and to unlock security for the ring via a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) link. A plurality of nubs an inner circumference of the ring are configured to constrict the ring onto a user's finger based on the security protocol.
A pressure sensor is configured to detect an unauthorized removal of the ring per the security protocol. The nubs are further configured to release from the user's finger into the ring based on the acceptance of the user's code by the security protocol circuit to allow a removal of the ring from the user's finger.
Throughout the description, similar reference numbers may be used to identify similar elements depicted in multiple embodiments. Although specific embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated, the invention is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangements of parts so described and illustrated. The scope of the invention is to be defined by the claims appended hereto and their equivalents.
Reference will now be made to exemplary embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used herein to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the disclosure is thereby intended. Alterations and further modifications of the inventive features illustrated herein and additional applications of the principles of the inventions as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of the invention.
The present disclosed emergency ring, also known as the “Keep Safe Ring” offers a novel wearable ring that can monitor movement and can be tracked via a cellular device. Expanding on the initial design of the modern ring, the keep safe ring is tightly secured onto the user's finger and can only be unlocked via a customized code on the app that releases the locking mechanism. This necessary feature ensures the user is safe at all times. If the ring is forced off the finger by a dangerous third party figure, a pressure sensor sounds a loud alarm to alert the surrounding area that the individual is at risk. Furthermore, discrete microphone and camera functions enable the individual tracking the user to listen and watch any irregular activity, in the event, an individual has gone missing or experienced an incident. To prolong battery life, the display screen simultaneously works as a solar panel to ensure long term functionality. The keep safe ring ensures a fully operational safety ring intended to significantly decrease the likelihood of dangerous situations occurring to loved ones within public or private spaces.
Although the operations of the method(s) herein are shown and described in a particular order, the order of the operations of each method may be altered so that certain operations may be performed in an inverse order or so that certain operations may be performed, at least in part, concurrently with other operations. In another embodiment, instructions or sub-operations of distinct operations may be implemented in an intermittent and/or alternating manner.
