內容簡介

The need of safety in our daily lives is increasingly important especially in some urban areas or suburbs where there are some social problems and unlawful activities often occur. Several solutions have been proposed and implemented to counteract such threats, such as video-surveillance camera, security staff people, public lighting and so on. But, as it is widely known, such safety precautions are not enough sometimes, especially due to the greatness of the cities and to the lack of economic resources for establishing such countermeasures. To this aim, several personal solutions have been proposed, ranging from pepper spray to self-defense courses. In addition, there also exist a kind of GPS mini-locator equipped with a button to be used to activate an emergency signal/call/message. The latter is recently implemented as a software solution within an app that runs on our mobile phones. Unfortunately, phones strictly depend on the power supplied by the battery and when the battery runs out of charge such security measures cannot be used. So, let’s see if the (so much appointed paradigm of) Internet of Things can help us. In fact, the idea of this talk is to propose the engineering of a wearable device that can fix the deficiencies of the above-mentioned solutions already present on the market. The main problems still in place within the existing solutions (e.g., Nimb, Blinq, mBand, Revolar) are the dependency from the mobile phone and the fact that cannot be easily concealed when it is needed to use them. In fact, all the actual solutions are wearable device that communicates with the mobile phone by means of a short-range low-power communication protocol (mainly Bluetooth 4.2 or 5.0) and let the mobile phone to propagate the emergency signal/call/messages. It is clear that if the mobile phone runs out of battery or if the phone is stolen, such solutions become completely useless. Furthermore, another problem affecting existing solutions is that sometimes it is not easy to hide the request of help because when using such kind of devices that are not so wearable. The talk will propose a solution that satisfies all the above-mentioned requirements and that really improve the security and safety of nowadays citizens. The technological components of the proposed solution are usually adopted in different devices and are some of the building blocks of the emerging IoT applications.
