As an important device for personal safety, the development of personal alarms has gone through several stages, reflecting the continuous improvement of society's awareness of personal safety and the continuous progress of science and technology.
For a long time in the past, the concept of personal safety protection was relatively weak, and personal alarm keychains had not yet appeared. However, with the changes in the social environment and the diversification of people's lifestyles, the need for personal safety has gradually become prominent.
In the early 20th century, some simple alarm devices began to be used in specific fields, such as police officers equipped with basic sirens when performing tasks. However, these early devices were not only bulky and inconvenient to carry, but also had very limited functions. They could only emit a single sound signal, mainly used to attract the attention of others in a large range.
In the middle of the 20th century, with the initial development of electronic technology, personal defense alarms began to emerge. These early personal alarms were reduced in size, but still bulky, and were mainly used in some high-risk occupations, such as postmen, night workers, etc. Their alarm method is usually to trigger a continuous sharp sound by manually pressing a button, in the hope of attracting the attention of people around and getting help when encountering danger.
From the 1970s to the 1990s, personal safety keychains entered an important development stage. With the advancement of integrated circuits and miniaturization technology, the size of alarms has been further reduced, becoming lighter and more convenient for ordinary people to carry. At the same time, the loudness and sound quality of the sound have been significantly improved, making it more deterrent and attractive in emergency situations. In addition to the sound alarm function, personal alarms during this period also had some simple flashing light designs to enhance the warning effect in dim environments.
Entering the 21st century, the development of personal alarms has been changing with each passing day. With the popularization of global positioning system (GPS) technology, many personal alarms have begun to integrate positioning functions. Once the alarm is triggered, it can not only emit a high-decibel alarm sound and flashing strong light, but also send the wearer's accurate location information to the preset contact or relevant rescue agency, greatly improving the timeliness and accuracy of the rescue.
In recent years, with the vigorous development of smartphones and Internet of Things technology, the combination of personal alarms and mobile applications has become a new trend. Users can remotely control and set the alarm through their mobile phones and monitor the status of the alarm in real time. Moreover, some advanced personal alarms also have intelligent sensing functions, which can automatically detect abnormal movements or environmental changes and trigger alarms in time. In addition, in order to meet the needs of different users, personal alarms are more fashionable and beautiful in appearance design, while focusing on wearing comfort and concealment.
In short, personal alarms have evolved from simple and bulky devices to small, intelligent, powerful and diverse security tools. Their historical development has witnessed people's increasing attention to personal safety and the power of continuous technological innovation. I believe that in the future, with the continuous breakthroughs and innovations in technology, personal alarms will continue to evolve and provide more reliable and effective protection for people's lives and property safety.
