Abstract

The present invention provides a wearable device to an operator for industrial safety management in an industrial field and monitors the heart rate, movement, and position of the worker by interlocking with a worker's smartphone, and when the abnormality is detected, And to improve the efficiency of the worker management.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a monitoring system using a wearable device and a smartphone app,

Through the interconnection between the wearable device and the smartphone, the heart rate sensor and the gravity sensor included in the wearable device are used to transmit the worker's heart rate and movement to the designated monitoring system and the received heart rate is out of the normal range In case of no movement for a certain period of time, the monitoring system informs the warning and the position of the operator.

With the development of technology today, due to the increase in the use of robots and heavy equipment, automation technology, the size of the industrial field is becoming larger, and in the reality that the staffing is minimized, the worker has to work with absolute workers The number of managers is small and there is difficulty in responding. For example, when an operator has an abnormality, the discovery is delayed until the supervisor checks the site. If the operator is in a management area, it is delayed to check the abnormality of the worker until the work time. do.

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a monitoring system in which a wearable device and a smartphone application are interlocked using a local communication technology such as Bluetooth to send a user's heart rate and a motion state to a designated monitoring system, (Operator) by checking the presence or absence of health of the operator and the position of the operator in real time.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal capable of transmitting an emergency signal to an operator identified as a position adjacent to a dangerous place due to a GPS signal when an abnormality occurs in a workplace or a specific place, Wireless communication method.

Another problem to be solved by the present invention is a two-way wireless communication method that allows an operator to take an appropriate action by informing a monitoring manager of an emergency switch on a wearable device when an abnormal situation occurs during a work .

In order to solve the above technical problem, a task monitoring system using a wearable device and a smartphone app includes a wearable device that can be worn on a wearer's body such as a bracelet, a necklace, an armband, and a wearable device, And the monitoring system that organizes the information sent from the smartphone and shows it to the manager is the solution of the task.

The present invention receives a heart rate, movement, and position information measured by a wearable wearer worn by a worker at a predetermined interval (e.g., 5 minutes or 10 minutes) through an app installed in a smartphone of a worker, In this way, the administrator can check the health status and location of the worker in real time, so that the operator can see in real time whether or not a safety accident has occurred in the office.

In addition, the operator can promptly inform the manager of an emergency switch attached to the wearable device when an abnormality occurs in the worker or other worker during the work so that quick relief measures can be taken.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a monitoring system according to the present invention, which includes an example of a wearable device 101, a receiving smartphone 102, a monitoring system 103 for receiving a signal and determining a heart rate, (119) for external emergency relief, and an external connection (104) such as emergency hospital. When the wearable device 101 measures the operator at regular intervals and transmits the data to the smartphone 102 while the smartphone 102 sends data to the monitoring system 103, 103), the monitoring manager gives a warning sound to the monitoring manager, and the monitoring manager who is warned instructs the field manager or the nearby worker to confirm the abnormality of the worker.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a monitoring system according to the present invention, showing an entire workplace 201, and an example of a dangerous work is a safety work boundary line 202 in a blasting operation, a worker 203 in a dangerous area, The worker 204 and the work office 205 of FIG. After confirming the worker 203 in the safety work boundary line 202 in the office, a warning signal is sent to the worker 203 to guide the worker 203 out of the safety work boundary line 202 and the situation is transmitted to the manager, To take appropriate action. In addition, if there is a hazardous area that should not be accessed by the operator in the work site, a danger boundary is set up on the monitoring system, warning signal is given when the operator approaches or there is a possibility of access, do.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a wearable device 301. When an emergency switch 302 is placed at the top of the wearable device, if an operator presses the emergency button in an emergency, Or take appropriate measures such as shutting down the on-site facilities.

Using the work monitoring system using the wearable device and the smartphone app, it is possible to apply effectively to the safety management work of the industrial site, for example, it is possible to reduce disaster processing cost by shortening the time for safety measures in case of an operator error .

In particular, in the case of a single worker, it takes a long time for the worker to recognize the occurrence of an accident in case of an accident, so that it takes a long time until the accident occurs. However, when the work monitoring system is used, This can be confirmed at the beginning of the accident and the damage scale can be reduced.

And other advantages, it is possible to check on-the-spot worker's status in real-time by taking out and returning wearable equipment, which can be advantageous for on-site time and attendance management.

Claims

Using the wearable equipment linked to the worker's smartphone, the worker's state information (heart rate, motion) is measured from the wearable equipment worn by the worker only during the working time, and is set at a constant interval (5 to 10 minutes, (Heart rate, motion) of a worker sending a call to a monitoring system and comparing the basic information of the worker stored in the system (the health check record, the measured heart rate before the work, etc.) The monitoring manager sends an alarm to the monitoring manager when the information is not received for a predetermined time or more (30 minutes or more), and the monitoring manager confirms whether the operator is abnormal or not.

The location of the worker in the workplace is displayed on the monitoring system using the location information system of the smartphone. If there is a dangerous area in the worksite or an area that should not be accessed by the worker, a boundary line is set on the monitoring system screen, , The monitoring manager alerts the monitoring manager, and the monitoring manager notifies the worker of the warning signal or notifies the field manager that the operator can not access the area.

Emergency switch is placed on the wearable equipment worn by the worker. In case of an emergency in the field, when the operator presses the emergency switch, the emergency signal is transmitted to the monitoring system, and an alarm is sounded in the system, so that the monitoring manager cooperates with the field manager (Emergency relief, facility shutdown, power cut-off, etc.)
