Description

The invention relates to the field of informing a person of certain subjects about a person’s emergency, sending an alert to these subjects, a call for help and the location of a person who needs help.

Technical solutions are known in the art for the design of wearable on the human body, including in the form of a ring or ring, alarm devices made with the function of secretly sending signals about help and about their location to response services or other personalities. The patents also describe the design features of such a device in a simplified scheme using a processor, means for transmitting signals over a distance, and an alarm button.

So, there are known methods and devices for alarm notification, in which the so-called "panic button" is used - a miniature radio transmitter on whose body a control button is installed. The radio transmitter is activated by pressing the control button when there is a danger to human life, health and material values, in particular when there is a threat to an employee of the corresponding power structure. The radio signal (alarm radio signal) emitted by the "panic button" is received at the central security center and, after processing and decryption, is displayed as a panic message indicating the identification signs of the panic button that emitted the panic signal. When an alarm message is indicated in the indicated central protection points, sound and / or light alarm is applied. Various options for devices that serve for the technical implementation of this method are presented, in particular, in application US No. 2001/0052848, G08B 21/00 and in US patent No. 6310539, G08B 23/00.

The disadvantages of this technical solution are the short range of the "panic button" and the lack of alarm data on the location of the radio signal source. In addition, in a sudden attack, the user may not have time to use this warning tool.

Also known are such personal safety alarm devices made in the form of a ring or ring, that is, in the form of a conveniently and constantly worn item that does not cause the aggressor to have a pre-formed negative attitude or suspicion (US 2008182547, Н04М 11/04, publ. 31.07 .2008). This decision was made as a prototype for the claimed device.

This patent describes a personal security threat alarm device comprising a housing made in the form of an annular element carried on the user's finger, in the inner cavity of which a power source, a processor unit, a microphone, and a signal transmission unit are mounted via wireless communication to an externally located receiver of this signal - a mobile phone, which in relay mode is connected with a subject that provides security for the user, as well as a button for initiating generation of said signal is an alarming warning signal about the threat of personal safety of the user when submitting the voice message through a microphone processor unit.

The peculiarity of the execution of these rings or rings is that the panic button itself is always located on the outside of the product so that it can be pressed either with the finger of the other hand, or by resting on some object. Known analogues and prototype have one serious drawback - the inability to send an alarm and your location in one short action, for example, in case of limitation of hand movement.

In addition, the architecture of the layout of such a device provides that all elements are mounted on one common board mounted in the housing. In this case, in the event of a breakdown, either completely replace one ring with a new one, or dismantle the board and install a new one in its place. Typically, this architecture is used for disposable products or for products whose service life is determined by the time until the first breakdown. This is beneficial for the manufacturer, as it increases the turnover and shift of goods, but is disadvantageous for the consumer.

For the user, the reliability and durability of the product is important, and these parameters are determined not only by the reliability of the installed components, but also by their influence when working on each other. This is especially important when using nodes that are heterogeneous in design and function, such as a processor and a vibromotor. In this regard, diversity architecture is preferable, since it allows these nodes with features that are heterogeneous in design and function to be spaced apart by a distance at which their mutual influence is eliminated or, at least, reduced.

In the case of a number of emergency situations, a person does not have the opportunity to report that he needs help and where he is. Most people feel anxious for their near and dear ones when they are not nearby. Currently, people rely on mobile phones and active self-defense tools. All currently existing methods of informing that a person needs help have one common and serious drawback - the inability to send an alarm and location in one short action, for example, when restricting hand movements (phone and all kinds of key rings in case of emergency it is always possible to quickly find in a bag, pocket or things and use it quickly, and to use the panic button on a watch or bracelet, you need a second hand to perform an action, which in some situations Jette be impossible).

From the same source (US 2008182547) there is a known method for alarming a threat to personal safety, which consists in registering on a mobile computerized means of communication the identification data of a ring or ring worn on a user's finger equipped with a processor unit, a microphone and a signal transmission unit via wireless communication when physical buttons on this ring or ring, and when signs of a threat to personal safety appear, they press a physical button to initiate the processor unit, The microphone and signal transmission unit, then carry out a voice message to the microphone on a ring or ring and transmit it wirelessly to a mobile computerized communication device, in which in relay mode they transmit a personal security threat signal to an entity endowed with user safety functions. This decision was made as a prototype for the claimed method.

The disadvantage of this method is that both hands of the user are needed to transmit the alarm. In addition, in the event of a false positive, it is not possible to cancel the call. Using a voice message is also problematic, because it is not always possible due to the circumstances of the situation and to work with a microphone you need to bring the ring to your lips, which is sometimes impossible, and when moving away from the lips you need to raise your voice, which is also not always possible.

In addition, the user is not informed that an alarm has been sent or that the device is operating. In a difficult situation of a possible threat, the lack of feedback does not correspond to the psychological state of a person.

The present invention is aimed at achieving a technical result, which consists in increasing the convenience of use by providing the ability to send an alarm and determine its location with one movement of a finger even in conditions of limitation of hand movement and without involving voice messages and the possibility of canceling a fake call.

The specified technical result for the device is achieved by the fact that in the device for alarming personal security threats, comprising a housing in the form of a ring or a ring that is worn on the user's finger with a power source, a processor and a signal transmission unit via wireless communication to an externally located receiver of this signal , as well as a physical button brought out of the case to initiate the generation of the specified signal, which is a personal alert alert user safety, characterized in that the physical button is brought out from the housing to its outer surface in the second and third quadrants in a clockwise direction, the power source is located in the upper part of the housing, above which there is a processor with a signal transmission unit with an antenna and one the side of which the vibromotor is placed to give out vibration signals during the time the physical button is held down, and on the other side of which the specified button is placed.

In addition, this device may be further provided with a positioning unit associated with the processor unit for transmitting, in a packet of alarms, a threat to the user's personal safety and location coordinates. Or it can be additionally equipped with a signal receiving unit from a computerized means for inputting a signal to cancel sending a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the user's personal safety. And as a signal transmission unit with an antenna, a unit using the Bluetooth protocol is used.

In addition, the device can be additionally equipped with at least one LED displayed on the inner surface of the ring or ring splint to visually indicate the operation mode of the device. Also, the device can be additionally equipped with a communication unit with a geolocation system for generating a signal about the location and transmitting it to a signal transmission unit with an antenna.

The disadvantage of the prototype is eliminated by the fact that the claimed device due to the form factor of the ring (ring) on the finger of the hand and the convenient location of the panic button allows you to send an alarm and location with one movement of the finger, even when restricting the movement of human hands.

The specified technical result for the method is achieved by the fact that in the method of alarming about a personal security risk, which consists in programming through the use of a mobile computerized means of communication of the user of the processor of the ring or ring worn on the user's finger, equipped with a signal transmission unit via wireless communication by pressing a physical button on it ring or ring, and when signs of a threat to personal safety appear, press a physical button to initiate a the processor and the signal transmission unit for generating a signal, which is an alert signaling a threat to personal safety, and transmitting this signal wirelessly to a remotely accessible mobile computerized communication medium, from which, in relay mode, a personal security threat signal is transmitted to a subject endowed with functions implementation of user safety, to initiate a processor and signal transmission unit to generate a personal threat signal without By pressing the physical button on the ring or ring and holding it down for N seconds, after which the processor unit generates a signal and transfers it to the signal transmission unit for sending to the specified subject, and when the physical button is falsely pressed for a time exceeding N seconds, the user cancels the call by entering the password in the application installed in his mobile communications device.

This increases the reliability of the protection method and increases the person's chances of salvation in an emergency.

These features are significant and are interconnected with the formation of a stable set of essential features sufficient to obtain the desired technical result.

The present invention is illustrated by a specific example of execution, which, however, is not the only possible, but clearly demonstrates the possibility of achieving the desired technical result.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an electrical circuit of a device.

According to the present invention, a construction of a personal security threat alarm device carried on a user's hand is considered. This device informs certain subjects about a person getting into an emergency situation in which this person needs help.

In general, a personal security threat alarm device comprises a housing made in the form of a ring or a ring that is worn on the user's finger, in the inner cavity of which a power source, a processor unit, and a signal transmission unit are mounted via wireless communication to an externally located receiver of this signal, as well as a physical button brought out from the housing to initiate the generation of the specified signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the personal safety of the user I am.

A physical button for initiating the generation of a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the user's personal safety, is brought out on the inner surface of the ring or ring splint in the second and third quadrants in a clockwise direction.

The power source is located in the upper part of the housing, on one side of which there is a vibromotor with a control board for issuing vibration signals when a physical button is pressed to initiate signal generation and during the time of its pressing, and a power source charge control board, and on the other side of which there is a board with a processor unit and a signal transmission unit with an antenna, wherein the processor unit is configured to initiate a signal transmission to the signal transmission unit upon termination of the vibration motor operation.

In addition, this device can be additionally equipped with a positioning unit associated with the processor unit for transmitting in the signal packet a signal that is an alert signaling a threat to the user's personal safety and location coordinates. Or it can be additionally equipped with a signal receiving unit from a computerized means for inputting a signal to cancel sending a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the user's personal safety. And as a signal transmission unit with an antenna, a unit using the Bluetooth protocol is used.

In addition, the device can be additionally equipped with at least one LED displayed on the inner surface of the ring or ring splint to visually indicate the operation mode of the device. Also, the device can be additionally equipped with a communication unit with a geolocation system for generating a signal about the location and transmitting it to a signal transmission unit with an antenna.

The wearable electronic device is a ring on the finger of the hand (ring) with an alarming physical button (Fig. 1 and 2).

The internal layout of the device is located in its upper part. The button, by clicking on which the alarm is triggered, is located at the bottom of the device, on the outer radius of the ring - the side, if you look at the ring as a clock dial, the button can range from 3:00 to 9:00 clockwise.

The wearable electronic device can be paired with any smartphone by wireless connection through the application on this smartphone.

The wearable electronic device can be completely autonomous - it can contain components for determining the location (GPS, GLONASS, etc.) and for transmitting communication signals (GSM, CDMA, etc.).

The housing of this device may be made of any known material.

The device includes the following configuration base, but not limited to: power supply (battery) 1, vibration motor 2, charge control board 3 power sources, vibration motor control board 4, processor unit 5, Bluetooth signal transmission unit 6, antenna 7 for Bluetooth unit 6 , physical button 8, LED (s) 9 (for a visual demonstration of the ongoing processes, they are displayed on the inside of the ring or ring splint), the product body 10.

All actions feed the battery. When you press the physical button 8 and hold it pressed for, for example, three seconds, the vibration motor 2 interacts with the vibration control board 4 and the processor unit 5 to vibrate the entire time that this button 8 is held.

After, for example, three seconds, the processor unit 5 determines the expiration of this predetermined time and sends the signal through the unit 6 using the antenna 7 to the associated mobile device to perform further specific scenarios.

At this time, LED 9 can indicate system health. The device uses at least one LED displayed on the inner surface of the annular element next to the physical button 8.

A feature of the claimed invention is that the panic button is located on the inner (in the lower part of the ring) surface of the product - on the tire from its inside, this allows you to send an alarm and your location with one movement of your finger, even when restricting the movement of human hands. To do this, it is enough for the user to press the ring on the other finger with one finger until the button is sunk or to squeeze the fingers.

Another development feature is that to send an alarm in the case of a physical alarm button located on the wearable ring on the finger of the hand, the user needs to hold the button for N seconds (while the wearable electronic device will vibrate, signaling that the user is about to send a signal anxiety). In the case of an electronic alarm button, the user must also hold it down for N seconds. In case of a false press, the user has N seconds to cancel the alarm through the application by entering his personal secret password. This is a software algorithm expressed as a function of canceling a false positive.

In addition, in the well-known rings and rings, the layout architecture provides that the electronic part is made in the form of a monoblock inserted into a socket in the ring. The invention uses an exploded layout, that is, each element of the electrical part is located in its slot on a flexible board and can be removed and replaced separately from the others.

This device may be developed in another layout shown in FIG. 3 and 4.

In the general case, as an option (Figs. 3 and 4), the personal security threat alarm device comprises a housing 10 made in the form of an annular element carried on the user's finger, in the inner cavity of which a power supply 1, a processor unit 5, and a signal transmission unit 6 are mounted Bluetooth via wireless communication to an externally located receiver of this signal, as well as a physical button 8 brought out from the housing to its outer surface to initiate the generation of the specified signal, which is a signal m alarm notification of a threat to the personal safety of the user.

Button 8 for initiating the generation of a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the personal safety of the user, is brought out on the outer surface of the ring-shaped element in the second and third quadrants in a clockwise direction. On the same side (from the side of the button) there is an LED indicator (LED (s) 9) for light indication of the operating modes of the ring or ring.

Electronic components are mounted on a flexible board integrated in the cavity of the ring-shaped element, the power supply 1 is located in the upper part of the body of the ring-shaped element on the inner surface of this bus. On the reverse side of the bus with respect to the power supply 1, there is a board with a processor unit and a signal transmission unit and an antenna 7 for a signal transmission unit (antenna 7 for Bluetooth module 6), an LED indicator is placed on one side of the specified board, and on the other hand from the specified board there is a vibromotor for issuing vibration signals when a button is pressed to initiate signal generation and during the time it is pressed. Otherwise, this option repeats the first example of execution.

An embodiment of the invention is possible in which the processor and the signal transmission unit via wireless communication are made in the form of a microprocessor board, which is a single-chip Bluetooth controller with an integrated processor that performs the functions of a processor and a signal transmission unit through an antenna (Figs. 5 and 6).

In this solution, as in the previous ones, the button for initiating the generation of a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the user's personal safety, is brought out on the outer surface of the ring-shaped element in the second and third quadrants in a clockwise direction. On the same side (from the side of the button) there is an LED-indicator / ry for light indication of the operating modes of the ring or ring.

The electronic components are mounted on a flexible ribbon-shaped board built into the cavity of the ring-shaped element, the power source is located in the upper part of the ring-shaped element housing on the inner surface of this flexible board, on the reverse side of which, with respect to the power source, the microprocessor board is a single-chip Bluetooth controller with an integrated processor that performs the functions of a processor and signal transmission unit, a memory unit for this controller and an antenna, on the one hand, are indicated at least one LED indicator is placed on the board, and on the other side of the board there is a vibrator for issuing vibration signals when the button is pressed to initiate signal generation and for the time it is pressed, while the specified controller is configured to initiate signal transmission through the antenna at termination of the vibration motor.

Like all the previously considered examples, this device can also be additionally equipped with a location unit associated with the controller for transmitting in the signal packet a signal that is an alarm signaling a threat to the user's personal safety and location coordinates, or it can be additionally equipped with a signal receiving unit from a computerized means for inputting a signal to cancel sending a signal, which is an alarm signal about a threat to the personal safety of the user.

The wearable electronic device is a ring on the finger of the hand (ring) with an alarm button (Fig. 5 and 6).

The internal layout of the device is mounted on a flexible board in the form of a tape, laid in the cavity of the ring or ring case (this flexible board is not only a basic element for holding electronic components, but also a system of conductors for connecting all components in accordance with the connection diagram). The button, by pressing which the alarm is sent, is located at the bottom of the device, on the outer (outer) surface of the ring case - the side, if you look at the ring as on the watch dial, the button can range from 3:00 to 9.00 hours clockwise.

A wearable electronic device can pair with any smartphone via a wireless connection.

The wearable electronic device can be completely autonomous - it can contain components (blocks) for determining the location (GPS, GLONASS, etc.) and signal transmission units via communication protocols for transmitting communication signals (GSM, CDMA, etc.).

The device of FIG. 5 and 6 includes the following configuration base, but not limited to: battery 1, vibration motor 2 with vibration motor control board, flexible ribbon board 12, Bluetooth microprocessor module 13, antenna 7 for Bluetooth module, physical button 8, LED (s) 9 (LED indicator - for a visual demonstration of the processes brought to the outside of the ring or ring), the housing 10, as well as the memory unit 14 for the Bluetooth module 13. By microprocessor module Bluetooth 13 is understood, for example, Bluetooth chip CC2540 - single-chip Bluetooth- controller with integrated tsessorom performing CPU functions and the signal transmission unit. Or, for example, AT76C551 is a single-chip controller designed to organize high-speed transmission of data over a radio channel over short distances in the allowed radio frequency range of ISM. The AT76C551 contains an RF processor. This processor performs all processing, including modulation and demodulation of the digital stream according to the Bluetooth standard. The device controls the transceiver and a predetermined speech coffee machine. The AT76C551 contains the ARM7TDMI microprocessor core, which supports working with external and internal memory via a standard microprocessor interface.

The battery 1 feeds all the actions. When you press the physical button 8 and hold it pressed for three seconds, the vibrator 2 interacts with the vibrator motor control board and the Bluetooth module 13 for the entire time that the button 8 is held.

After three seconds, the Bluetooth module 13 determines the elapse of this predetermined time and sends a signal through this Bluetooth module using the antenna 7 to the associated mobile device to perform further specific scenarios.

At this time, LED 9 can indicate system health.

A feature of the claimed invention is also that the alarm signal can be sent directly to the subject selected by the user or the alarm signal along with the user's location can be sent to certain subjects using any communication system (GSM, CDMA, wi-fi, WTMAX, Bluetooth, etc.) or through other computerized communications located nearby and which are repeaters for the device.

Using such a ring or ring, it is possible to implement a method of alarm notification of a threat to personal safety. This method consists in programming, through the use of a mobile computerized means of communication, of a user of a processor of a ring or a ring worn on a user's finger, equipped with a signal transmission unit via wireless communication by pressing a physical button on this ring or ring. When there are signs of a threat to personal safety, a physical button is pressed to initiate the processor unit and the signal transmission unit to generate a signal that is an alert signaling a threat to personal security, and transmit this signal wirelessly to a remotely accessible mobile computerized communication medium from which, in relays transmit a signal about a threat to personal security to an entity endowed with the functions of implementing security the teacher. To initiate the processor unit and the signal transmission unit to generate a personal safety hazard signal, press the physical button on the ring or ring and hold it pressed for N seconds, after which the processor unit generates a signal and transfers it to the signal transmission unit for sending to the specified subject which, upon receipt of the indicated signal, makes a telephone call to the user's mobile communications device to obtain confirmation of the existence of a threat to its security. And if the physical button is falsely pressed for a period exceeding N seconds, the user cancels the call by entering the password in the application installed in his mobile communications tool.

A person in an emergency and who needs help can use smartphone software and / or a special wearable electronic device (for example, a ring on his finger) to send an alarm and his location to certain subjects.

The roles of these entities can be, including, but not limited to:

- relatives, friends, close people,

- state security services,

- private security organizations,

- people who are from the user who clicked on the button in a given radius from 0 to 2000 meters.

- users of interest communities within the network system in which the person is a member. It is also understood that a person, after registering in a network system, can enter into groups previously established or created by the users themselves. User groups can be classified according to various criteria, for example, university graduates of such and such, colleagues at work of such and such, motorcyclists, residents of the district of such and such, diasporas by nationality and others.

The user can independently determine in advance (the choice can be made in advance in the software for smartphones) to whom the alarm will be sent and its location when you click on the alarm button in the program for smartphones (soft button) and / or on a separate wearable electronic device (for example , ring on the finger) (hard button).

In the case of proxies, their confirmation will be required to be included in the list of proxies of the user.

An alarm along with the user's location can be sent to certain subjects using any communication system (GSM, CDMA, Wi-Fi, WIMAX, Bluetooth, etc.).

In the case of private security organizations, an alarm will be sent to the closest quick response group connected to our system. For a quick response team, leaving the call will be mandatory.

The network system includes software for mobile devices (operating systems AppleiOS, GoogleAndroid, MicrosoftWindowsMobile and others), a web version and a server part for implementing the following scenarios.

When you click on the electronic panic button in the software for mobile devices or the physical panic button located on a portable electronic device connected to this system, an alarm and the location of the user sending this signal to certain subjects are sent.

To send an alarm in the case of a physical alarm button located on a wearable electronic device (for example, a ring on the finger), the user needs to hold the button for N seconds (while the wearable electronic device will vibrate, signaling that the user is about to send a signal anxiety). In the case of an electronic alarm button, the user must also hold it down for N seconds.

Next, the following scenario occurs.

In case of a false press, the user has N seconds to cancel the alarm through the application by entering his personal secret password. If there is no cancellation, an alarm with the user's location is sent to predetermined subjects (one, several or all to choose from):

- To proxies via SMS and in a mobile application.

- The police.

- Private security organizations.

- To people located from the user who clicked the button in a given radius from 0 to 2000 meters.

- To users of the communities of interest within our system in which the person is a member.

One embodiment implies that after sending a signal to the police, the user receives a call on his phone in order to clarify the situation. If there is no answer to the call to the user's location, a police squad is sent. The second embodiment implies that the police receive a digital signal with the user's location and send an outfit to him.

After receiving the alarm, the corresponding recipients of this signal will be able to follow the user's movements on the map until the alarm ends (the recipients of the alarm will be able to view the alarm card of the call, which will contain detailed information on the call - location at the time of the call, if available - the caller’s travel route, its current location, response status of other response entities, chat to coordinate actions of response entities, etc.).

The user can cancel or end the call at any time by entering his secret password.

If the user is forced to enter his password, he can enter a second password, upon entering which the application no longer displays an alarm, however, the police, quick response team and proxies are still in a hurry to help.

The following is the algorithm for the operation of an alarm device for personal security threats.

The device operates in two modes: standby mode and alarm mode (Fig. 7).

1st mode - Standby

All the time, the device is off.

1) With an interval of N seconds, the DD6 15 timer chip using the key transistor VT1 through the voltage regulator DD5 16 supplies power to the rest of the circuit from battery 1.

2) When power is applied, the main VT controller is launched (Bluetooth microprocessor module 13) (DD2 17).

3) Short-term start-up of the motor Ml of the vibration motor 2 by means of the key transistor VT2 and light indication by LEDs LED1 and LED2 9, the controller DD2 17 notifies the user about the inclusion.

4) First of all, the BT controller DD2 17 checks through the circuit of the transistor VT3 whether the physical button SW1 8 has been pressed, i.e. the controller checks by what condition the start occurred:

- at the touch of a button, which means you need to work in Alarm mode

- just by timer, which means you need to work in Standby mode.

5) In the Standby mode, after checking the state of the BT button, the DD2 17 controller reads the settings from the DD3 memory chip (memory block 14) and applies them.

6) After this operation, the BT controller DD2 17 also reads the battery status from the DD4 chip (chip of the charge control board 3).

7) If necessary, the BT controller DD2 17 turns on and sets up the radio frequency path (Bluetooth) for communication with the user device and for transmitting settings and telemetry information. Information is transmitted through a matching device DD1 18 and antenna ANT1 7.

8) After the completion of the described operations BT, the DD2 17 controller instructs the DD6 chip 15 to turn off the device. Having received this command, the DD6 15 timer chip uses the key transistor VT1 to disconnect power from the entire circuit.

The above operations are repeated with the set interval N. This interval can be changed in the range from 100 milliseconds to 2 hours.

2nd mode - Alarm mode

The device is turned on when the user presses button 8 of the alarm.

1) When you press the button SW1 8 connected to the timer chip DD6 15, the chip DD6 15 using the key transistor VT1 through the voltage regulator DD5 16 supplies power to the rest of the circuit from battery 1.

2) When power is applied, the main VT controller DD2 17 starts.

3) Short-term start of the engine M1 by means of the key transistor VT2 and light indication by LEDs 9 W, the controller DD2 17 notifies the user about the inclusion.

4) First of all, the BT controller DD2 17 checks through the transistor VT3 circuit whether the button SW1 8 was pressed. Since the button SW1 8 was pressed, the device goes into Alarm mode.

5) The device waits for K (can be configured) seconds and checks if the button SW1 8 has been pressed again.

 If the condition is met, the BT controller DD2 17 turns on and tunes the radio frequency path (Bluetooth) to communicate with the user device. Also includes an indication and writes to the DD3 memory chip (memory block 14).

6) After setting up the radio frequency path, an alarm message is sent to the user device, which forwards it to the server. The message is transmitted through the matching device DD1 18 and antenna ANT1 7.

7) Upon a command from the user device, the ring can return to standby mode by canceling the alarm mode. Having received such a command, the BT controller DD2 17 gives a signal to the DD6 15 timer chip to turn off the device. The timer chip DD6 15 through the key transistor VT1 disconnects the power from the entire circuit.

The present invention is industrially applicable and can be manufactured using known technologies used for the manufacture of radio transmitting means of communication.
