Abstract

A conditions monitoring system may include a system controller. The controller may include a device processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium. The computer readable medium may include instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps: receiving positional data from a wearable device of a wearer; receiving physical data regarding the wearer from the wearable device; making a determination of a possible dangerous condition based on the data received from the wearable device; and providing instructions to the wearable device for the wearer to follow to avoid danger related to the dangerous condition.

Claims (41)

1. A conditions monitoring system, comprising:

a system controller including:

a device processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps:

receiving positional data from a wearable device of a wearer;

receiving physical data regarding the wearer from the wearable device, wherein the physical data includes at least one of heartrate data and pedometer data;

making a determination of a possible dangerous environmental condition based on the data received from the wearable device, including the positional data and the physical data; and

providing instructions to the wearable device for the wearer to follow to avoid danger related to the dangerous environmental condition.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the dangerous environmental condition includes at least one of dangerous weather, natural disaster, and public emergency.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the positional data includes at least one of location, speed, and direction.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions for applying one or more filters to eliminate false positive determinations of possible dangerous environmental conditions.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions provided to the wearable device include directions for evading the dangerous environmental condition.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are provided to a different wearable device than the wearable device from which the data is received.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions for receiving data from multiple wearable devices from multiple wearers and determining a dangerous environmental condition based on data received from the multiple wearable devices.

8. A conditions monitoring system, comprising:

a system controller including:

a device processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps:

receiving positional data from a wearable device of a wearer;

receiving, from the wearable device, atmospheric data regarding the atmospheric conditions in proximity to the wearer;

making a determination of a possible dangerous environmental condition based on the data received from the wearable device, including the positional data and the atmospheric data; and

providing instructions to the wearable device for the wearer to follow to avoid danger related to the dangerous environmental condition.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the dangerous environmental condition includes at least one of dangerous weather, natural disaster, and public emergency.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the atmospheric data includes at least one of location, speed, and direction.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the atmospheric data includes at least one of atmospheric temperature and atmospheric pressure.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions for applying one or more filters to eliminate false positive determinations of possible dangerous environmental conditions.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions provided to the wearable device include directions for evading the dangerous environmental condition.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are provided to a different wearable device than the wearable device from which the data is received.

15. The system of claim 8 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions for receiving data from multiple wearable devices from multiple wearers and determining a dangerous environmental condition based on data received from the multiple wearable devices.

16. A conditions monitoring system, comprising:

a system controller including:

a device processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the device processor to perform the following steps:

receiving positional data from a wearable device of a wearer;

receiving, from the wearable device, atmospheric data regarding the atmospheric conditions in proximity to the wearer;

making a determination of a primary condition based on the data received from the wearable device, including the positional data and the atmospheric data;

inferring, from the primary condition, a secondary condition related to the primary condition; and

providing instructions to the wearable device for the wearer to follow to avoid a dangerous environment related to the secondary condition.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the non-transitory computer readable medium further includes instructions for applying one or more filters to eliminate false positive determinations of the primary condition or the secondary condition.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the primary condition is a storm and the secondary condition is a predicted flood.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the instructions are provided to a different wearable device than the wearable device from which the data is received.
