Secured Souls System claims to be a 'one button' solution for reporting crimes to police.
A city-based IT firm, Researching Souls Technologies India Private Limited’, has developed a citizen security system prototype, Secured Souls System, which claims to be a ‘one button’ solution for reporting crimes to the police. The system, which is similar to the 911 universal emergency number in the United States of America, boasts over 40 features and enable its users to report crime by sending a distress signal to the nearest police station through a ‘propriety software platform’.
The distress signal is sent to the police server as an encrypted document in the form of SMS, images, video and audio clippings. The software decrypts the message and provides the coordinates of the crime scene, along with details of the sender and even related videos, says Sanjai Chhaunker, managing director of Researching Souls.
The message and its various formats serve as tamper-proof evidence for judicial purposes, and it is designed to provide a "secure and a geographical halo" around the user, ensuring that he or she is "protected" at all times, says Chhaunker.
The system integrates the features of a GPS and uses geographical coordinates and mobile towers for locations and its software works on a decentralised communication routing. "Only the nearest police station will be notified about the incident of crime, fire or any other form of disturbance or any jurisdictional problem. Therefore, there will be no line clogging and the message will reach the police without any delay," offers Chhaunker.
The Information Communications Tecnology-enabled system can also be incorporated into the Aadhaar card, vehicle registration certificates, in the documents required by the passport offices for authentication and facilitates the development of e-governance, claim the researchers.
The proposals are submitted to the Delhi police and the patents have been given to the officials in the Delhi state government to begin with, said Chhaunker.
