Wireless internet protocol-based action-oriented system for remote wireless alerting and action

Abstract

The present invention provides a wireless internet protocol-based action-oriented system comprising an actuator, which may be worn on or carried by a user, and which may be activated by the user to wirelessly communicate, via an access point on a LAN, a signal to a base station server to execute an action command, such as a stoppage of nearby associated machinery or vehicles. Alternatively, sensors and/or detectors disposed on the actuator may independently transmit data to the base station server, which the base station server may then act upon. The system further includes a computer software program product, which links the actuator, access points, base station server and associated machinery and/or vehicles, and which allows the base station server to communicate with a corresponding machine or vehicle to order an execution of an action thereby. The system may further have a barcode scanner in communication with the base station server, and each actuator may further contain a barcode or unique identification number, such that actuator data may be entered into the base station server with ease and active controls set on the actuator. Thus, the actuator, in conjunction with the system and corresponding computer program product, allows a user to have the ability to immediately initiate a remote action, such as the halting of operation of industrial equipment or vehicles in communication with the system of the present invention operating over a wireless LAN, and allows system managers to easily set controls associated with each actuator.
