Intelligent warning system
Various embodiments described herein relate to an intelligent warning system in a communication service. One embodiment of the present invention analyzes a user's biometric signals and image data of one of the user's in a communication session to determine a distress level. In addition, location data indicating the user's velocity and direction can be used to determine a distress level. If the biometric signals or the image data indicate a distress level that meets or exceeds a threshold level, a notification is automatically sent to a remote user. This can allow a remote user to render assistance to a user in distress, even when the user is unable to communicate one or more conditions.
1. A method for identifying a level of distress of a user interacting with a computing device, comprising:
receiving location data indicating a location of the user;
determining a velocity of the user based on the location data;
monitoring the velocity of the user;
determining a plurality of direction changes from the location data, wherein a number of direction changes within a time period increases the level of distress;
determining the level of distress of the user based on the velocity of the user and the number of direction changes of the user; and
in response to determining that the level of distress exceeds a threshold, communicating a notification to a remote computing device.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a threshold change in the velocity of the user, wherein the threshold change in velocity increases the level of distress.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a rise in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a reduction in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a pulse of the user, wherein an increase in the pulse beyond a predetermined pulse level increases the level of distress.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a pulse of the user, wherein a decrease in the pulse beyond a predetermined pulse level increases the level of distress.
7. A computer system for identifying a level of distress of a user, comprising:
a GPS sensor for receiving a location of the user;
one or more processors; and
a computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to:
receive GPS location data indicating the location of the user;
receive image data depicting physical features of the user;
determining a plurality of direction changes, wherein a number of direction changes within a time period increases the level of distress;
determine the level of distress of the user based on the number direction changes; and
in response to determining that the level of distress exceeds a threshold, communicate a notification to a remote computing device.
8. The computer system of claim 7 , further comprising determining a threshold change in a velocity based on a change in the location of the user, wherein the threshold change in velocity increases the level of distress.
9. The computer system of claim 7 , further comprising a biometric sensor for receiving biometric data from the user, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive the biometric data from the biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a rise in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
10. The computer system of claim 7 , further comprising a biometric sensor for receiving biometric data from the user, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive the biometric data from the biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a reduction in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
11. The computer system of claim 7 , further comprising a biometric sensor for receiving biometric data from the user, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive the biometric data from the biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a pulse of the user, wherein an increase in the pulse beyond a predetermined pulse level increases the level of distress.
12. The computer system of claim 7 , further comprising a biometric sensor for receiving biometric data from the user, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive the biometric data from the biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a pulse of the user, wherein a decrease in the pulse beyond a predetermined pulse level increases the level of distress.
13. A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to:
receive location data indicating a location of the user;
determine a plurality of direction changes from the location data, wherein a number of direction changes within a time period increases the level of distress;
determine the level distress of the user based on the number of direction changes of the user; and
in response to determining that the level of distress exceeds a threshold, communicate a notification to a remote computing device.
14. The computer storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising determining a threshold change in a velocity of the user based on the location data, wherein the threshold change in the velocity increases the level of distress.
15. The computer storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive biometric data from a biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a rise in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
16. The computer storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive biometric data from a biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a temperature of the user, wherein a reduction in the temperature beyond a threshold temperature increases the level of distress.
17. The computer storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the computing system to receive biometric data from a biometric sensor, the biometric data indicating a pulse of the user and an increase in the pulse beyond a predetermined pulse level increases the level of distress.
