Notification and alert method for wearable and/or other devices

Abstract

Systems and methods for delivering alerts, notifications and messages, to and, if configured, responses from one to many users wearing technology designed for single and/or multiple media types, utilizing one to many non-primary communication pathways enabled are contemplated in which (a) a primary communication channel pathway, (b) a primary or non-primary control channel(s) is established, by wireless receiver and/or wired connection to a group of users, that (b) then allows an activation method type to provide an alert/notification/message method to one-to-many persons (i.e., users) and/or, one-to-many devices in an addressable manner that establishes a non-primary communication channel path that is parallel and unknown to the primary communication channel path. The overall method consists of a router function and media delivery routing technology) that are actively listening on a primary communication/control pathway or a non-primary control channel. If an activation method is utilized over the communication pathway or non-primary control channel and an activation is designated for specific device(s) assigned within a specific non-primary communication channel pathway, then a delivery method for that device(s) is invoked that processes and delivers the non-primary media (audio, visual, and sensory) based on the command type, any local settings and the media type transmitted. In addition, the wearable device may also include connection to a specialized, logical audio router that manages non-primary communication channels and 'cut-ins' or 'super-imposition' functions for the delivery of alerts, notifications, and messages as an overlay on the primary communications channel that all users present may then hear, see, feel and/or respond via available methods through the appropriate primary and/or non-primary communications channel.
