How does sending alarms with a Safety App work?

Once you Safety Application is installed on the smartphone, you are connected to the alert management portal. You can send alarms and receive notifications. If you give it permission, your application accesses your phone's sensors to improve your security.

Lone Worker application permissions and operation

At your first use, you must perform authorizations for optimal operation of the safety App. Depending on the application you choose, for example, you have to:

  • Authorize the application to you send notifications (alerts, sounds, icons)
  • Allow the application to connect to the alert management portal.

These permissions allow your application to run in the background. In fact, the application must transmit the data useful for your protection in the background. One application in the background of the mobile has the advantage of operating discreetly without having to be in the forefront. So she stays invisible to third parties, attackers for example, while interacting with your mobile's operating system. This functioning application allows you to use the phone's sensors.
Thus, if assistance is needed, the emergency services will use the data of your GPS or Bluetooth location to geolocate you.
Did you know that your alerts and data are transmitted through various networks?

Transmission of alerts

Indeed, your alerts are sent by the GSM network or even by the Wi-Fi network. In fact, your phone uses LTE (4G), 3G mobile networks... to communicate information and your location to the alert management platform. In addition, it is equipped with wireless technologies including Wi-Fi.

This function is the guarantee of a extended coverage for your protection everywhere! So wherever you are, if of course you are under GSM coverage, you can send or receive alerts and notifications.
On the other hand, with a simple glance at the screen of your mobile, you can easily identify active alarms and alarms transmitted. Indeed, the vast majority of Safety App use visual and/or sound notifications : SMS, push notifications, etc. The use of color pictograms allows a very simple and quick identification of current alerts. Example: green icon = alarm active and red icon = alarm inactive.
For a secure Safety application operation, these notifications contribute to a intuitive user experience. An application that is too complex would obviously not be used correctly or even not used at all!

What about the operation of the Safety Application in case of a loss of connection?

Safety Application operation in white areas

Do you know how your white zone alerts work?
In these areas not covered by GSM networks, such as parking, basements..., you can still take advantage of an alert service, thanks to Wi-Fi. Thus, for isolated sites where you work very regularly, you can install Wifi tbase stations. These base stations allow Safety App alerts to be transmitted.

What about the operation of the Safety App in case of a loss of connection?
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the application, note that the services of your platform must be subject to a Ongoing monitoring. If you enter an area where GSM network coverage is disrupted or non-existent and WiFi is not available, the link loss alarm or positive security alerts you of the connection loss. Your supervisor is also notified.
Indeed, the servers of your App alert provider must constantly check the connection status of mobile phones of all lone workers. In the event of a loss of connection, the servers trigger an alarm procedure. In particular, it allows you to warn you and your other users that you are no longer “under protection”.

The life line function

Extra Protection for Lone Workers
Lifeline is an essential feature for securing lone workers operating in areas at risk or without network coverage. When activated, a countdown is started and if the user does not confirm their safety before the end of the time, an alarm is automatically triggered. A call to supervisors guarantees rapid intervention in case of danger, even in the absence of direct communication. This feature is ideal for high-risk environments, offering continuous and enhanced protection.

What alerts are possible from your mobile?

With a Safety App for Lone Worker, you can transmit to your supervision manual and automatic alarms.

Pre-alarm

Some devices warn you by means of a pre-alarm before triggering the alert. You don't need to keep an eye on your mobile. This is the case, for example, of alarms, loss of verticality and absence of movement on the PTI VigieApp® application mentioned above.

How do the detection sensors on your mobile work?

The operation of the Lone Woker application uses the sensors integrated into your mobile to spot an unusual position. Thanks to its motion and position sensors, your smartphone detects prolonged immobilization due to discomfort for example. Thus, it reports very precise data used by the algorithms. Depending on sensitivity settings, the alert is sent to the platform or not.

What about respecting your personal data?
