Definitions

  • the present application is an emergency reporting device and a system thereof, particularly an emergency reporting device and a system thereof for immediately reporting an operator's emergency status to a contactor in another place.
  • Geriatric health care is an issue worthy of attention in a modern society when population ageing is increasingly important. With physical functions degraded, many senior citizens, who encountered incidents such as collision, stumble or unexpected discomfort but were not helped immediately, may suffer from various mishaps.
  • the health care workers may put senior citizens or patients, who suffered from incidents but were not reported to a hospital within a golden window, in irreversible injury when the workers failed in round-the-clock care of the senior citizens or patients.
  • the present application describes an emergency reporting device which informs a contactor of an incident immediately.
  • the emergency reporting device comprises a receiving module, a communicating module and a controlling module.
  • the receiving module is configured to communicate with an external emergency transmitting device and to receive reporting information from the emergency transmitting device.
  • the communicating module is configured to communicate with an external communications device which comprises emergency contact list.
  • the controlling module is connected to both the receiving module and the communicating module. The controlling module determines whether notification information is transmitted to the communications device from the communicating module according to the reporting information. The notification information is used to trigger the communications device to contact a contactor in the emergency contact list.

  • the controlling module 13 further connects or comprises a non-transitory memory device (such as SD card, flash memory, hard drive, etc.) in which the reporting information and the notification information are saved.
  • the second embodiment further comprises a video recording module 14.
  • the video recording module 14 connects the controlling module 13, which depends on the reporting information to acquire catch video data of an operator 20 triggering the emergency transmitting device 2 through the video recording module 14 and transmits the catch video data to the communications device 3 from the communicating module 12 and further to the contactor in the emergency contact list from the communications device 3.
  • the video recording module 14 comprising a camera and a control circuits thereof is able to capture video data of a specific external target.
  • the communications device 3 can be either a mobile communications device or a computer device with wireline/wireless communications circuits.
  • the communications device 3 further connects or comprises a non-transitory memory device in which the emergency contact list is saved.
  • the third embodiment further comprises the video recording module 14 and a microphone module 15.
  • the controlling module 13 acquires a communicating request from the contactor in the emergency contact list through the communicating module 12 and starts up a communicating mode (such as video communicating mode).
  • the microphone module 15 comprises microphone components and a control circuit thereof.
  • the analysis of a source direction can be completed by following programs.
  • Program 1 which depends on a plurality of directional receivers (such as directional antennae, directional infrared receivers, etc.) to receive the reporting information and further detects a source direction by a specific directional receiver, as shown in Table 1 and FIG. 4 .
  • the controlling module 13 receives a signal from a left receiver 163 for R3 (Receiving Area) and detects a source direction on the left-hand side.
  • Program 2 which analyzes signals (signal intensity, signal received, etc.) from a plurality of receivers around the emergency reporting device 1 to calculate vectors of signals and further determines a source direction, as shown in Table 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 .
  • the controlling module calculates the vector distribution of source directions by Equation (1) and signal intensity over the receivers 161, 163.
  • the source direction is front left and the azimuth equals to 26.5° (clockwise).
  • the present application further provides the fourth embodiment.
  • the controlling module 13 in the fourth embodiment acquires video data of the operator 20 who operates the emergency transmitting device 2 from the video recording module 14, analyzes behavior patterns (walking features), postures (sitting, standing, lying, etc.) and facial expressions of the operator 20 in video data, finds at least one emergency pattern feature listed in Table 3 or a symptom pattern listed in Table 4, and decides to transmit the notification information.
  • the controlling module 13 decides to send the notification information by analyzing features based on weighting value of emergency pattern features (Table 3) or a symptom pattern (Table 4).
  • the emergency reporting system comprises the emergency transmitting device 2, the communications device 3 and the emergency reporting device 1.
  • the emergency transmitting device 2 which is triggered by an external operator 20 is able to generate reporting information.
  • the communications device 3 comprises an emergency contact list.
  • the communications device 3 comprises a login module through which an external user logins the emergency reporting system and edits the emergency contact list.
  • the operator 20 is a senior citizen (or a middle-aged or young person).
  • the emergency transmitting device 2 which was triggered by the senior citizen transmits the reporting information to the emergency reporting device 1; the emergency reporting device 1 communicates with the communications device 3 via a wireline or wireless network and send the communications device 3 the reporting information by which the communications device 3 is triggered to communicate with the contactor (contact device 4) in the emergency contact list.
  • the emergency contact list may record relatives of the senior citizen. As such, the emergency reporting device is effective in noticing family members around the world immediately if the senior citizen had an incident.
  • the emergency transmitting device 2 can be a push-button remote control device to be pressed and triggered by a senior citizen who has discomfort for generation of the reporting information.
  • the emergency transmitting device 2 can be a wearable device which measures physiological signals (such as heartbeat value, blood glucose level, dermal resistance, etc.).
  • the emergency transmitting device 2 can be a device with some components for falling-incident detection (such as accelerometer, gyroscope, etc.).
  • the measurement information can be interpreted and transmitted by the emergency transmitting device 2 independently or transmitted to the emergency reporting device 1 directly for data interpretation.
