Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]
-
This may or may not help or be of use, but android has the ability for a simple message to be displayed on the lock screen at all time and also in the About phone section in system settings there is an Emergency section. Don't know what info you can store etc .
Might be worth a look or may not, might give ideas to use or ignore. -
@Moem
If we were to use the Star of Life or a derative thereof we would need to get authorization since it's copyright protected. I agree it would be best to include it for the reason you mentioned. -

Good point. I've read the document about the Start of Life as found on https://www.ems.gov/staroflife.html and apparently it's only copyrighted in the blue version they use there. That makes me think it would be legal to use it if it weren't blue, and also not a copy of the official version.
Which brings me back to the version from the Noun Project that I posted here. Maybe in red? They're often red on those medical alert pendants. And it also looks a bit like a Red Cross which is a good association. -
If a specific design with a Star of Life would be the final result, made by someone from this community and being in line with UT design, I would be all in favor to use that over a generic one and just ask for the permission if time permits.
Before submitting the final design, I assume a lot of thought has gone into the design and at that point I don't think we should hesitate to make that UT version official. I can't imagine the request to be rejected, probably even encouraged if it could spread the word of I.C.E. even further and making it easier for the emergency services when many users (potential persons in need for immediate help)on another platform would use an ICE feature in lockscreen, be helped in time or even life saving.

@Moem HAHAHA, who is assumiing to much, great call. HAHAHA
-
Thanks to @Moem I got a new idea, I know the text under the star of life is too small.
-
@Rondarius I like that! It just needs a more UT-like styling.
-
What about a layout like the Twitter notification with a different background? Logo on the left, text on the right of it. If that ICE could be pinned to the top it may be more acceptable to many as it 'blends in' in the overall look of the lock screen.
Edit 1:
Rectangular ICE notification should be on top, replacing the Twitter notificationText could be like
ICE - In Case of Emergency
Tap hereOr any preferred text by the user/language assuming this pinned notification will be a customizable one.
Edit 2: If this ICE notification would indeed be customizable, meaning enabling the user to upload a logo, then there will be no need to design a logo at all! You'll be free to upload any logo you think is best recognized by your national emergency services. Right?
-
@3T_Ed I was thinking of that too, but it needs to stand out from the rest of the feeds so it wont be mistaken. Maybe a fixed background colour, to start with?

@Rondarius
If that's the way we can have the ICE feature adopted in Lomiri lockscreen then we have a winner on our hands.Reference the Calender request thread, the original Canonical layout of the lockscreen being in line with current OS's on the market, I think the route we're taking now is getting valid to have the ICE feature implemented.
-
@Moem thanks, but I'm not sofisticated enough to do something that could be used as something official. I make mockups and hopefully someone with the required talent could do something with it.
@3T_Ed Its a great idea to have your own logo. But we still needs a default one. Most of the regular users doesn't have the interest or the skill to make/add their own logo.

Exactly.
I was not saying 'you, Rondarius, should now personally make this in UT style'. I was pointing out that I like the direction you're going, I believe we're on the right track, and someone with design skills could build on what has been done so far. It's a group project after all! -

That's why I asked @C0n57an71n to join this project. And perhaps @CiberSheep likes to think along too?

Here is another mockup, I used the colour palette of UBports to choose the background colour:

Hi,
maybe just a red border to mark the notification as important and persistent could work and at the same time would be more consistent in the UT style.

@Capsia
Your proposed design is really good. Do you think that by changing the header into the official blue color of the Star of Life would an option while having the notification stand out at first glance when needed (emergency) and not (too) intrusive?@BigB
Just wondering if you being the OP are still with us. Judging by the many people who have joined this thread and have made a really great effort into bringing this project further this gradually looks to become a community effort. More than I expected it to be when you started this thread. I'm curious to reading your thoughts as to where you would like this to go. -
Thank You! I'm still here
I just have less time than during holiday, but I try to follow thread. -
@BigB
Great! Good to know you're still around
-
I was thinking of one thing here, if there is no other feeds should this be visible all the time or should it be possible to have the regular lockscreen shown instead? I like the circle of history
-

I believe so. If a notification pops up it will be in line with the design directly, otherwise you'd have homescreen switching to 'notificationscreen' again making it more distracting.
