Abstract

System for locating people who are identified by plates (PU1) that are placed in a visible position on any object, garment or accessory of the user, which incorporates on the one hand a QR code and on the opposite side a series of different legends or inscriptions , for example the name of the person, a telephone number to call in case of finding it disoriented, etc. The system also includes a web server (Serv1) on which the page to which the QR code of the users' plates is located, which in each access receives the identification code of the personal plate of the affected user and identifies it in a database, being a software responsible for automatically generating a message to the person responsible for the individual carrying the plate.

DESCRIPTION

People localization system.

Object of the invention

The invention refers to a system for locating dependent, elderly, children, in general, any person who can be confused and who does not have the capacity to use a cell phone to alert the relative or person in charge of guardianship of the place where It is at a given time. This system allows any other person who wants to help her find the guardian of her guardianship, can do so anonymously, transmitting the position of the lost person if they need to make any phone call.

Background of the invention

The traditional means of localization, based on the collaboration of other people, which we will call Samaritans. that realizing the situation in which the lost or clueless person is, they decide to help them in a selfless way, they consist of asking the person himself where he is going or where his home is, but children or elderly people with dementia or other disabilities are likely who do not know, or do not remember at that time. To facilitate the resolution of this eventuality, the easiest thing is to place or give this person a card with the name and phone number to call if he or she misses or loses at some point; But not everyone wants to make their personal phone known and many people are reluctant to make calls to anonymous and unknown people.

US 2016055731 describes a pendant that has a large and prominent alert button and includes a GPS device that transmits GPS coordinates within a distress message that can be received by the authorities, by the father of the lost child, or by the person in charge of controlling the supervised person. This system involves a technological component, expensive and whose operation is subject to the charge of the battery or batteries available at any given time.

Description of the invention

The location system that is proposed does not require for its implementation more than a web server, in which a computer application runs, and the distribution to the users of some plates, which must be placed in visible position on any object, garment or User accessory

This plate incorporates on the one hand a QR code and on the opposite side a series of different legends or inscriptions, for example the name of the person, a telephone number to call in case of finding it disoriented, etc.

The system also includes a web server, which accesses a database in which each of the plates are related to the contact data of a person responsible for the individual carrying the corresponding plate.

The operation is as follows: when someone finds a lost or disoriented person (child or elderly person) who has a plaque in visible position; if you have

of a Smartphone with any application of scanning or reading QR codes and decides to help this person, you just have to scan the QR code, at that time you access a certain website hosted on the server, which includes the relative data to the QR code leldo and its approximate location. All this without the need for the user to carry a mobile device, type Smartphone or similar, or have to make any type of written or verbal communication. Once this data has been sent to the server, it automatically generates a message indicating the identification of the plate and its location and sends a notice to the person responsible for the individual carrying the plate.

In particular, this system is applicable to dependents, or supervised persons (children, the elderly, people with diseases, deficiencies or disabilities, ...) and therefore it is people who are not able to handle a mobile phone or other device complex.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 schematically represents the operation of the proposed location system.

- Figure 2 shows the view, front and back of the plate (PU1) that is placed on each of the users.

Preferred realization of the invention

As can be seen in Figure 1, the system for locating persons object of the invention comprises a personal identifying element, as a user card (PU1), provided with means of fixing on an object or garment of the person capable of disorienting , which includes a unique QR code capable of being read through media with wireless technology, in which a web address and a user identification code are recorded.

Figure 2 shows in more detail one of these personal cards (PU 1) of the users that includes on the opposite side of the QR code a series of different legends or inscriptions, such as the person's name (Nom), a number phone (Telf) to call in case of finding it disoriented, or similar information, suitable for those cases in which the Samaritan person who tries to help does not have a Smartphone (SS1), or an application for reading QR codes installed in the.

For the operation of this system there is the existence of Samaritan people, willing to help others, in this case being interested in those children or elderly who are disoriented; It is also expected that these people have a Smartphone (SS1) with some type of application capable of reading a QR code, as is usual today in all devices of this type. This person will see that the disoriented person carries in a visible place a plate with a QR code and, in

his case, with some indication that in case of finding the disoriented bearer to scan that code with the mobile.

As we have already indicated, the QR code included in each plate (PU1) is unique and includes 5 a web address and a user identification code that is transmitted to the page

to which it points, which is hosted on a web server (Servl), which receives the identification code of the personal plate of the affected user (PU1), when any Samaritan person scans the QR code of the user plate and connects with the web associated with it.

10

This web server (Servl) has access to a database in which the data and identification codes of the users and contact of the corresponding tutors of the users are stored, in which an informatic application processes the data received from personal identification of the disoriented person and send a message to the terminal (ST1) 15 of the tutor or person in charge.

In this web server a software application is implemented that manages the information received from the readings of the QR elements of identification of each person, which automatically generates and sends a message to the terminal (ST1) of the tutor or person in charge of the person. This software uses geolocation routines of the Smartphone (SS1) of the Samaritan person who betrays the presence of another disoriented person, or to place his location on a map.
