US12392583 - Body safety device with visual sensing and haptic response using artificial intelligence

Disclosed are a method, system, and apparatus of s body safety device with visual sensing and haptic response using artificial intelligence. In one embodiment, a body worn safety device includes a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device vibrates when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear. The haptic feedback device may detect the ambient threat using an artificial intelligence based threat detection model. The visual sensor may be part of an array of visual sensors around a torso of the wearer such that ambient threats around the wearer are captured through the artificial intelligence based threat detection model. A battery unit may be detachable from the tactical gear.

The patent describes a body-worn safety device that integrates a visual sensor and a haptic feedback mechanism to alert the wearer of ambient threats through vibrations. The intensity and pattern of the vibrations are designed to vary based on the proximity and type of detected threat, utilizing an artificial intelligence-based threat detection model.

Claim 1

A body worn safety device, comprising: a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear; and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear, wherein the haptic feedback device to vibrate when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear, and at least one of: an intensity of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a proximity of the ambient threat to the wearer, and a pattern of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a type of threat. a visual sensor integrated into a tactical gear; and a haptic feedback device integrated in the tactical gear, wherein the haptic feedback device to vibrate when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear, and at least one of: an intensity of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a proximity of the ambient threat to the wearer, and a pattern of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a type of threat. wherein the haptic feedback device to vibrate when the visual sensor detects an ambient threat to a wearer of the tactical gear, and at least one of: an intensity of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a proximity of the ambient threat to the wearer, and a pattern of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a type of threat. an intensity of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a proximity of the ambient threat to the wearer, and a pattern of vibration of the haptic feedback device is dependent on a type of threat.
