Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a safety system with multiple alert devices, each having a unique identifier.
- Each alert device has a user interface, wireless transceiver, and processor.
- One alert device can generate an alarm signal and send it, along with its unique identifier, to other alert devices.

Original Abstract Submitted
A safety system includes a plurality of alert devices associated with a unique identifier. Each alert device includes a user interface, a wireless transceiver, and a processor communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver. The processor of at least one alert device is configured to generate an alarm signal indicative of an alarm state, and transmit the alarm signal including the unique identifier of the at least one alert device to the wireless transceivers of the other alert devices. The processor of each of the other alert devices is configured to receive the alarm signal from the at least one alert device, determine a link quality indicative of at least a relative distance between the at least one alert device and the corresponding other alert device, and display, via the user interface, an alert message including the unique identifier of the at least one alert device and the corresponding link quality.
