Abstract—Individual Security is a major concern in
both developed as well as developing countries. There
are various ways in which an individual can assure
his/her safety, one of the ways being mobile
applications. We compared various security mobile
applications and analysed user's opinions about
'Security through Mobile Applications' through
survey
[1]
. Studying the problems, constraints and
importance of quick communication in emergency
situations we came up with few significant modifications
for the existing mobile applications. Thinking on the
lines of reducing the time of communication, we suggest
a voice based activation of the application even when
the application is locked. This idea is based on the
principles of Human Computer Interaction and
enhancing simplicity, usability and accessibility of
mobile applications as a security device.
