Abstract

The alarm transmits an emergency signal via a mobile phone (GSM) network to one or more pre-programmed telephone numbers if an unusual hearth rhythm is detected. A GPS system can be incorporated into the alarm. The alarm is worn on a part of the body, preferably around the wrist.

Description

NoodkreetzenderEmergency Cry Transmitter

De uitvinding heeft betrekking op een elektronisch signaleringsapparaat dat abnormale afwijkingen van het 5 hartritme via het GSM-net automatisch doorseint naar één of meerdere voorgeprogrammeerde telefoonnummers.The invention relates to an electronic signaling device that automatically transmits abnormal deviations of the heart rhythm via the GSM network to one or more preprogrammed telephone numbers.

Op angstige momenten, doch vooral in levensbedreigende situaties, is er sprake van een sterk verhoogde polsslag. Zodra dit het geval is wordt door de 10 noodkreetzender - gedragen op enig lichaamsdeel, doch bij voorkeur om de pols - een signaal afgegeven dat wordt opgevangen door ouders, voogd, oppas of politie die hierdoor in staat zijn onverwijld adequate maatregelen te nemen. Zo lean de politie met behulp van 15 kruispeilingen de juiste positie van de in nood verkerende persoon bepalen of diens verblijfplaats, casu quo route, traceren. Ook reageert het instrument op overeenkomstige wijze op ernstige hartritmestoornissen en hartstilstand.At anxious moments, but especially in life-threatening situations, there is a strongly increased pulse. As soon as this is the case, the emergency cry transmitter - on any part of the body, but preferably around the wrist - emits a signal that is picked up by parents, guardian, babysitter or police who are able to take adequate measures without delay. For example, with the help of 15 crossings, the police can determine the correct position of the person in distress or trace their whereabouts, in this case route. The instrument also responds correspondingly to severe cardiac arrhythmias and cardiac arrest.

20 Het moge duidelijk zijn dat de drager van het beschreven instrument - verder aangeduid met "noodkreetzender" - ook zelf de gelegenheid geboden moet worden om een dergelijk noodsignaal uit te zenden; derhalve in dié gevallen waarbij er van 25 levensbedreigende situaties nog geen sprake is, bijvoorbeeld indien een persoon in de directe omgeving .. zich verdacht gedraagt. In die gevallen echter wordt niet direct doorgeschakeld naar de politie doch primair naar één of meerdere voorgeprogrammeerde 30 telefoonnummers, met dien verstande dat de betreffende ontvanger achteraf geconfronteerd wordt met een sterk verhoogd telefoontarief; dit ter voorkoming van onnodig gebruik van deze uitsluitend voor urgentie bestemde voorziening.It will be clear that the carrier of the described instrument - hereinafter referred to as "emergency cry transmitter" - must also be offered the opportunity to transmit such an emergency signal; therefore in those cases where 25 life-threatening situations are not yet present, for example if a person in the immediate vicinity .. behaves suspiciously. In those cases, however, there is no direct transfer to the police, but primarily to one or more pre-programmed telephone numbers, on the understanding that the recipient in question is subsequently confronted with a greatly increased telephone rate; this is to prevent unnecessary use of this facility exclusively intended for urgency.

I Met de door de betreffende persoon zelf geactiveerde I verbinding zijn normale telefoongesprekken met de voorgeprogrammeerde nummers mogelijk, doch niet met I andere nummers.I With the connection activated by the person concerned, normal telephone conversations with the preprogrammed numbers are possible, but not with other numbers.

I 5 Wellicht kan het volgende praktijkvoorbeeld meer I inzicht verschaffen in het nut van de bovenbeschreven I vinding.Perhaps the following practical example can provide more insight into the usefulness of the above described invention.

Stel dat een jong meisje tijdens een boswandeling I plots oog in oog staat met haar belager. Haar hart I 10 slaat op hol en het daardoor geactiveerde noodsignaal I bereikt de voorgeprogrammeerde ontvangers, I bijvoorbeeld haar moeder en de politie. Deze kunnen, nog vóór het bedreigde kind in staat is om zelf de I verbinding tot stand te brengen of te gillen, I 15 eventueel na positiebepaling, te hulp snellen of een I reddingsactie op touw zetten.Suppose a young girl suddenly comes face to face with her assailant during a forest walk. Her heart is running wild and the emergency signal I thereby activated reaches the pre-programmed receivers, for example her mother and the police. These can, even before the endangered child is able to establish or scream the connection themselves, if necessary after determining the position, rush to the rescue or launch a rescue action.

I Uitgaande van een zekere bekendheid van de I noodkreetzender zal haar belager mogelijkerwijs trachten dit van haar pols te rukken, maar dan heeft I 20 hij zijn positie reeds verraden. Ook kan hij trachten I het instrument te vertrappen, maar dat wordt bemoeilijkt door een zeer solide kunststof omkasting.Assuming a certain familiarity with the emergency cry transmitter, her attacker may try to tear this off her wrist, but then he has already betrayed his position. He can also try to trample the instrument, but that is made difficult by a very solid plastic casing.

I Ook in al dié gevallen waarbij kwetsbare personen - I bijvoorbeeld alleenwonende bejaarden en invaliden - I 25 plotseling geconfronteerd worden met hartproblemen, I kan de noodkreetzender van groot nut zijn.I Even in all those cases where vulnerable persons - I, for example, elderly people living alone and disabled people - I 25 are suddenly confronted with heart problems, I the emergency cry transmitter can be of great help.

De uitvinding zal verder worden toegelicht aan de hand I van tekeningen en een situatieschets, waarbij: I Fig. 1 een praktisch, zij het geschematiseerd I 30 uitvoeringsvoorbeeld van de noodkreetzender I toont in bovenaanzichtThe invention will be further elucidated with reference to drawings and a situation sketch, wherein: 1 shows a practical, albeit schematic, exemplary embodiment of the emergency cry transmitter I in top view

Fig. 2 idem in zijaanzicht en 3FIG. 2 ditto in side view and 3

Fig. 3 een situatie verbeeldt waarbij aan de noodkreetzender een levensreddende functie kan worden toegekend.FIG. 3 depicts a situation where the emergency cry transmitter can be assigned a life-saving function.

De noodkreetzender is voorzien van een stevige 5 omkasting 1, welke het zendertje 2 bevat. Dit zendertje 2 wordt geactiveerd door de polsfrequentiemeter 3. Zodra de pols duidelijk afwijkt van de vóór-ingestelde standaard waarden, wordt via het GSM-net een verbinding tot stand gebracht met de 10 voorgeprogrammeerde telefoonnummers. Op deze wijze kan de eerste ontvanger van het signaal ogenblikkelijk de politie inschakelen welke kan overgaan tot actie, waartoe ook het door middel van kruispeilingen bepalen van de positie van het slachtoffer behoort.The emergency cry transmitter is provided with a sturdy housing 1, which contains the transmitter 2. This transmitter 2 is activated by the pulse frequency meter 3. As soon as the pulse clearly deviates from the pre-set default values, a connection is established via the GSM network with the 10 pre-programmed telephone numbers. In this way the first receiver of the signal can immediately call in the police who can take action, which also includes determining the position of the victim by means of cross-checks.

15 Indien de polsband 4 van de noodkreetzender wordt losgerukt van de pols van het slachtoffer wordt middels schakelaar 5 de signaalgever 6 geactiveerd. Deze signaalgever 6 zendt een bepaalde toon uit, net zolang tot de batterij 7 is uitgeput. De 20 vóorgeprogrammeerde telefoonnummers zijn ook bereikbaar door het bedienen van knop 8, echter niet met de politie omdat de betreffende persoon dit knopje 8 ook per ongeluk of uit baldadigheid kan bedienen. Voorts kan het onnodig gebruikmaken van de 25 noodkreetzender ontmoedigd worden door toepassing van een extreem hoog tarief.If the wrist strap 4 of the emergency cry transmitter is torn away from the wrist of the victim, the signal generator 6 is activated by means of switch 5. This signal generator 6 transmits a certain tone until the battery 7 is exhausted. The 20 pre-programmed telephone numbers can also be reached by operating button 8, but not with the police, because the person concerned can also operate this button 8 by accident or out of bail. Furthermore, unnecessary use of the emergency cry transmitter can be discouraged by applying an extremely high rate.
