Description

{MULTI-FUNCTION HELMET SUPPORTED BY INTERNET OF THINGS}

The present invention relates to a safety helmet, and relates to a multifunctional safety helmet capable of improving work efficiency of a worker based on the Internet of things and capable of accumulating big data.

Since safety accidents can occur at any time and anywhere in the industrial field, even workers who are on-site workers or managers, as well as temporary visitors, are obliged to wear safety helmets.

A common helmet is one that protects the head when it is hit by an unexpected fall, or protects the head from falling. For those working in the dark, such as mines, helmets that combine headlights with helmets are also available.

Since the helmets are a necessity that must be worn by anyone working in the industrial field, these helmets are suitable for a wide variety of applications.

In particular, workers who inspect or manage industrial sites need to obtain and report more accurate and objective information, so it is common to have a camera, a writing instrument, a flashlight, a sound recorder, a map, and a design drawing.

In other words, some workers in the field must carry many items in addition to the helmets, take them out according to needs, use each item, and then prepare the obtained information according to the characteristics of each item.

For example, if you took a picture of a scene with a portable camera, you should go back to your office and connect it to your computer, save it as a file, or print it out and attach it to your report. If you are interviewing with a tape recorder or recording a scene, you may need to save the recorded file separately and in some cases make a transcript.

And the problems that usually occur in the industrial field can shorten the working air depending on how quickly and quickly the solution is sought, or vice versa. As mentioned above, existing workers may take a few days or a few weeks to complete a report after the on-site inspection and submit the report and take some action in accordance with the work instructions of the decision maker.

Of course, if all the problems are diagnosed, immediate action can not be taken, but if the situation can be immediately communicated, the time and economic losses will be minimized.

On the other hand, the Internet of things is becoming popular nowadays, and it is a target of many people.

Internet of things is a technology that enables almost all machines and devices around us to be connected to each other via the Internet and to be able to communicate with each other and to transmit information.

There is a technique called "a wearable device for video signal generation and a system for controlling the same" in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1569880 (registered on Nov. 11, 2015).

1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of a method for remotely controlling a living body state measuring apparatus and a wearable apparatus for generating a video signal according to the related art.

When a user wearing a living body state measuring apparatus as in the case is assumed to be in a fire scene or the like, when a user is injured by a fire, the living body state measuring apparatus detects that the living body state of the user is abnormal and generates a notification signal And can be transmitted to the video signal generating apparatus and the remote control apparatus which manages or manages the situation remotely.

That is, the video signal generation apparatus can transmit the video image and the photographed video to the remote control apparatus by the announcement signal, and can also transmit the location measurement information of the user.

The remote control device receiving the photographed image and the position measurement information from the image signal generation device can display the received photographed image and the position measurement information in real time and can store the above information.

Also, a user who controls the remote control apparatus can transmit a control signal including a voice signal and a control command to the user of the video signal generating apparatus.

As described above, the "wearable device for video signal generation and the system for controlling the wearable wearable device" according to the related art is based on the user's biological signal of the wearable wearable device, .

However, there is a disadvantage in that a person's bio-signal can be changed depending on the surrounding environment, the psychological state of the user, the weather, and the like, thereby causing a problem in reliability. Since each person has different emotional ups and downs and the strength of his / her bio-signals, objectifying too much subjective content and using it as universal judgment data can cause many problems.
