Patent Application
20200175833
The present invention relates to a durable and weatherproof concealed portable security systems for recording audio, video, and location while a person moves from one location to another and if the person sees a threat the device can immediately notify their emergency contacts by either pressing the two buttons on each side or by voice recognition causing the device to transmit the footage through their phone app and data service or the device can include a built-in data plan. Upon notification, their emergency contacts can review the footage and location link to determine the nature of the emergency and immediately take the appropriate steps to help protect the person, including contacting law enforcement and sharing the link with the footage.
Security systems are well known in the art and are effective means to ensure that no damage, harm or other negative effects occur to person or property. For example,
One of the problems commonly associated with system 101 is its limited efficiency. For example, the threat 109 generally denies the person 107 and removes the personal device 103, halts its use or destroys it. With no recording, a remedy to any harm is difficult and with no evidence of a crime, a conviction becomes difficult.
Additionally, when the threat 109 is not identified with sufficient time, activation of the camera 105 may not occur further limiting the efficiency of system 101.
Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of portable security systems, many shortcomings remain.
The novel features believed characteristic of the embodiments of the present application are set forth in the appended claims. However, the embodiments themselves, as well as a preferred mode of use, and further objectives and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
While the system and method of use of the present application is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and are herein described in detail. It will be understood that the figures presented herein are not intended to be to scale but are given and sized to clarify the intent of the disclosure. It should be understood, however, that the description herein of specific embodiments is not intended to limit the invention to the particular embodiment disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present application as defined by the appended claims.
Illustrative embodiments of the system and method of use of the present application are provided below. It will of course be appreciated that in the development of any actual embodiment, numerous implementation-specific decisions will be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as compliance with system-related and business-related constraints, which will vary from one implementation to another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure.
The system and method of use in accordance with the present application overcomes one or more of the above-discussed problems commonly associated with conventional portable security systems. Specifically, the invention of the present application provides for concealing while creating a recording and notifying others of an event. In addition, the invention enables rapid dissemination of video and location information regarding a presumed threat. These and other unique features of the system and method of use are discussed below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The system and method of use will be understood, both as to its structure and operation, from the accompanying drawings, taken in conjunction with the accompanying description. Several embodiments of the system are presented herein. It should be understood that various components, parts, and features of the different embodiments may be combined together and/or interchanged with one another, all of which are within the scope of the present application, even though not all variations and particular embodiments are shown in the drawings. It should also be understood that the mixing and matching of features, elements, and/or functions between various embodiments is expressly contemplated herein so that one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate from this disclosure that the features, elements, and/or functions of one embodiment may be incorporated into another embodiment as appropriate, unless described otherwise.
The preferred embodiment herein described is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. It is chosen and described to explain the principles of the invention and its application and practical use to enable others skilled in the art to follow its teachings.
Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference characters identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several views,
In the contemplated embodiment, system 201 includes a body 203 that houses a recording device 205 therein. The recording device 205 has an activation device 207 in communication therewith. The body 203 has mounting device 209 attached to the back thereof that enables the body 203 to be secured to a person 211.
In use, the person 211 wears the body 203 with the recording device 205 when they move about. When a threat 109 is detected the activation device 207 initiates the recording device 205. The body 203 conceals the recording device 205 from the threat 109 to prevent removal, halting or destruction of the recording.
Referring now to
It should be appreciated that one of the unique features believed characteristic of the present application is that body 203 increases the ability of the person 211 to obtain and retain a recording of threats 109.
Referring now to
Referring now to
Alternatively, it is contemplated as depicted by
It will be appreciated that the mobile device 805 could have GPS, Bluetooth, wireless abilities. The transfer of the data from the recording device 205 would be automatic and not require activation or permission to transfer.
It is contemplated that the third party 805 could be friends, family or any other entity that could offer assistance or protection to the person 211.
It will be understood and appreciated that the activation device 207 could consist of a voice recognition device 901 that detects vocal communication patterns, a press-button 903 or a combination of the two as depicted in
It will be appreciated that by having multiple buttons 903, such as a first and second button, that are required to be pressed at the same time reduces the unintentional activation of the system 201.
It will be appreciated that while the activation device 207 could initiate recording when a threat 109 is detected, initiate recording at any time the person 211 desires, notify a third party 801 of a threat 109 or event or be configured for any other action by the person 211.
Referring now to
It will be further appreciated that embodiment 1001 could also include a GPS locator 1013 and a transmitter 1015 in communication with the recording device 205 and are configured to directly transmit the data from the embodiment 1001 to a third party as described in embodiment 801.
It is contemplated that when the system 201 or any of the alternative embodiments 801 or 1001 are constantly recording the activation device could alert the system 201, that an event has or is about to occur. In embodiments 801 and 1001 that this includes the third party 805. It will be appreciated that this alert could indicate that a range of recorded data, either just before or after is transmitted or otherwise processed.
The particular embodiments disclosed above are illustrative only, as the embodiments may be modified and practiced in different but equivalent manners apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings herein. It is therefore evident that the particular embodiments disclosed above may be altered or modified, and all such variations are considered within the scope and spirit of the application.
