Smart overview of the Invention

A harness system has been developed to facilitate communication of distress signals for individuals who may be displaced due to disasters. The system features a vest device equipped with a pocket designed to hold a mobile device. Integrated within the vest are a transceiver and a signal-boosting antenna, enabling effective signal transmission. The transceiver is programmed to activate automatically upon receiving a specific transmitter code, allowing it to send distress signals that include the user's location and vital information.

Target Users and Applications

This harness is tailored for use by police, first responders, and the general public, particularly those at risk of becoming displaced during emergencies. It aims to provide a practical solution for individuals engaged in daily activities while ensuring their safety and security. The design accommodates various body types and clothing styles, making it versatile for everyday wear or specialized uniforms.

Limitations of Existing Harnesses

Current harness systems often lack integration with technology devices and do not adequately address the needs of diverse users. Most existing options require multiple sizes and struggle with compatibility across different clothing styles and mobile device shapes. Additionally, they do not offer features that enhance user security or facilitate easy signal transmission in emergencies.

Innovative Features of the Harness

The harness incorporates advanced technology, including a Global Disaster Register (GDR) system that aids in locating and identifying displaced individuals. The vest is designed for quick adornment regardless of clothing type, with pockets that securely hold various mobile devices. Security measures are included to prevent loss or damage during critical situations, enabling effective communication between users and emergency services.

Functional Design Elements

The vest device includes removable pockets secured by elastic cords, ensuring that mobile devices remain accessible yet protected. Additional features such as perforated pockets enhance voice control reception, while security straps minimize the risk of device dislodgment. The design allows for flexibility in how devices are used, promoting safety while enabling users to engage in necessary communication during emergencies.
