Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for storing and retrieving personal emergency information by means of an SOS badge, in particular an SOS clip, as a visible function indicator on the helmet, in the case of accident of the corresponding person from third parties in particular for the first aid directly at the scene of the accident retrievable are. An essential advantage of the system is, on the one hand, that the person-specific information is stored centrally on a server that can be accessed by anyone and retrieved the person-specific information while transmitting the associated person-specific coding. Another significant advantage is that the attached to a helmet of the user SOS badge is well visible to anyone, so that accounts for longer delays due to a search for a Notfallpass. Also, the SOS badge can be worn without any obstruction in sports activities in which the risk of injury is known to be relatively high.

Description

Description: The present invention relates to a system for storing and retrieving personal emergency information by means of an SOS badge, in particular an SOS clip as a visible functional note on the helmet, which, in the event of an accident of the relevant person by third parties, in particular for first aid, directly at the scene of the accident are available.

In order to provide first aiders at an accident site with important information about an accident, so-called emergency passports in paper form are known in the prior art, which can be carried by anyone and contain specific information about the person concerned, such as their name, the contact details of a person to be notified in an emergency and, above all, their medical data, which may be of importance and / or benefit for first aiders when providing first aid. This includes in particular the person's blood type, data on allergic or other intolerances, on existing medical conditions, on regularly taken medication or the like. Thanks to the direct access to this information at the scene of the accident, errors in first aid and also in subsequent treatment can be avoided.

Furthermore, it is known in the prior art to store emergency passports in electronic devices, in particular in so-called smartphones, which are carried by many people nowadays. For example, an iOS emergency passport can be generated and saved in the newer versions of the iPhone, which can be called up by everyone.

A disadvantage of the previous emergency pass variants, however, is that third parties cannot immediately recognize whether and in what form an accident victim carries such an emergency passport. In the worst case, the emergency passport will not be discovered due to a lack of search. In the best case, the first aid is delayed by the necessary search, which can result in a decisive loss of time in individual cases. Another disadvantage is that an emergency passport or smartphone is not always carried, as is especially the case during sporting activities, which, however, represent a particular potential hazard. In addition, the accessibility of emergency passports stored in smartphones depends on the battery power of the smartphone, which can also have negative consequences in individual cases.

Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved system of the type mentioned.

To achieve this object, the present invention provides a system of the type mentioned at the outset comprising a server which is set up in such a way that user-specific information can be stored on it in a user-specific manner and can be secured via an associated person-specific coding such that this person-specific information can only be found under Transmission of the assigned person-specific coding can be called up from an external electronic terminal, and a large number of SOS badges, in particular SOS clips, which are each provided with a person-specific coding of a user such that the person-specific coding is provided by a third party or by an external electronic Terminal of a third party can be read out and transmitted to the server for retrieving the person-specific information, the SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips, being attached to helmets of users, in particular to Schn rriemen of helmets. Helmets are understood in particular to mean bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets, sports helmets, diving helmets, firefighting helmets, forest helmets and protective helmets at work and many other fields of application.

A major advantage of the system according to the invention over the variants known from the prior art is, on the one hand, that the person-specific information is stored centrally on the server, which everyone can access and call up the person-specific information by transmitting the associated person-specific coding , Access is via any internet-capable electronic end 1/12

Patent office advises possible, so that there is no device-specific binding. Another important advantage is that the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, attached to a lacing strap of a helmet of the user is clearly visible to everyone, so that major delays due to a search for an emergency passport are eliminated. The SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, easily catches the eye of first aiders, so that immediate action is made possible. The SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, can also be worn without any disability during sporting activities in which the risk of an accident is known to be comparatively high.

The person-specific information preferably include the name of the user and / or the contact details of a person to be notified in an emergency and / or medical data of the user, such as in particular his blood group, data on allergic or other intolerances, on existing medical conditions, on regularly taken Medication or the like. The person-specific information of the system according to the invention basically corresponds to that of a conventional emergency passport. One advantage, at least over paper-based emergency passports, is that a wealth of information can be easily stored, including existing diagnoses, doctor's letters, image and video data, for example in the form of X-ray or MRI images, etc.

Advantageously, the person-specific information is assigned a second user-specific coding, when transmitted to the server, a user can enter the person-specific information to be stored and / or add and / or change the person-specific information already stored for him. This second user-specific coding is not provided on the SOS sticker, in particular the SOS clip, and is usually only known to the user himself, so that the data cannot be manipulated by unauthorized persons.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips 6 are foldable and securely closable by an articulated groove 15, and are provided with a web at one end and at least two pin connections 14 on the opposite side, which means that Helmet strap 8 is firmly enclosed. The web has two through bores 9 at the respective ends, which receive the opposite pin connections 14 for firmly closing the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip.

The SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips, are advantageously provided on the inside 6 with a plurality of fixing teeth 17 spaced apart from one another, by means of which the helmet strap 8 is fixed in place. In this way, a good permanent hold of the SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips, is achieved on the helmet.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the person-specific coding is provided in the form of a readable character string and / or a QR code. The readable character string can, for example, be printed on, embroidered on, or embossed on the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, to name just a few examples. The QR code enables particularly fast access to the person-specific information when scanning through an electronic device.

The person-specific coding is advantageously provided on the back of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, so that it is normally not visible to everyone. Accordingly, it is made more difficult in daily life for people who do not act as first aiders to read out the person-specific coding and to gain access to the person-specific data stored on the server for no reason.

On the front of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip, a marker is advantageously provided which is suitable to make third parties aware of the function of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip. For example, an Aesculapian snake can be shown on the front, an SOS sign, the inscription "Emergency passport" or "Emergency ID"

Helmets 7

To use the system 1, a user receives in a first step one or more SOS badges, in particular SOS clips 6, on each of which a person-specific coding 3 assigned to him is provided.

In a second step, the user selects the server 2 with an internet-enabled device via the internet address 5 of the system provider, identifies himself there for the first time with his person-specific coding 3, whereupon he enters the person-specific information relating to him on the server into a corresponding input mask 2 can deposit. This includes in particular his name, his address and contact details, the contact details of a person to be notified in an emergency and medical data. The latter can include their blood group, data on allergic or other intolerances, on existing medical conditions, on regularly taken medications or the like, medical reports, image and video data, such as X-rays and MRI images, etc. Furthermore, the user selects a second user-specific coding, which is required for further server inquiries, in order to be able to supplement and / or change the person-specific information that has already been stored.

In a third step, the user attaches the SOS badges made available to him, in particular SOS clips 6, to one or more of his helmets 7. For this purpose, the SOS badges, in particular SOS clips 6 in the present case, can be folded and firmly closed by means of an articulated groove 15. A web has two through bores 9 at the respective ends, which receive the opposite pin connections 14 for firmly closing the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip.

To increase the comfort, the SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips 6 are advantageously made of an elastic material, in particular of elastic plastic or rubber, so that they can easily adapt to the shape of conventional cut helmets 7. Alternatively, the SOS badges, in particular the SOS clips 6, can of course also be made of other materials, such as aluminum, to name just one example. On the front side 10 of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, shown in FIG. 2, a marking 11 is provided which is suitable for making third parties aware of the function of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, in the present case in FIG Form of the inscription "SOSID". Furthermore, the front 10 bears the inscription “Please turn” in order to draw the attention of third parties to the fact that further essential information can be found on the back of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, which is shown in FIG. 3. On the back 12, on the one hand, the Internet address 5 is provided, which is required to select the server 2 on the Internet. In addition, on the back 12 there is the person-specific coding 3, once in the form of a character string, in the present case “A234-BFU9”, and in the form of a QR code. The SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, advantageously has a signal color that can be easily recognized by third parties, such as red, yellow or orange, in particular as a neon color.

In the event of an accident involving the helmet 7 with the SOS badge attached to it, in particular the SOS clip 6, first-aiders can use the information on the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, to refer to the information on the server 2 Retrieve user stored personal information. The signal color of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, as well as its clearly visible attachment to the helmet 7 are very helpful for third parties, since the SOS badge, in particular the SOSClip 6, is difficult to miss. The first responders now have the option of selecting the server 2 on the Internet at the Internet address 5 indicated on the back 12 of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, via an Internet-compatible electronic terminal 4 and there entering the person-specific information of the accident victim retrieve person-specific coding 3 in the form of the character string. All relevant information is now available to first aiders. Alternatively, the first aider can also depict those on the back 12 of the SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6

Read patent office te person-specific coding in the form of the QR code with the terminal 4, whereupon the person-specific information is displayed directly on the terminal 4. Therefore, the use of the QR code is generally preferable to the character string due to the faster access to the person-specific information. Of course, this presupposes that a program capable of reading the QR code is implemented on the terminal 4.

A major advantage of the system 1 according to the invention consists in the central and thus device-independent storage of the person-specific information on the server 2 and in the accessibility of the person-specific information from any internet-enabled terminal 4, which almost everyone carries with them these days. Furthermore, an SOS badge, in particular an SOS clip, attached to a lacing strap 8 of a helmet 7 is clearly visible to everyone, so that major delays in searching for an emergency passport are eliminated. The SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, immediately catches the eye of first aiders due to its positioning, labeling and coloring. The SOS badge, in particular the SOS clip 6, can also be carried without any disability, especially during sporting activities, so that the emergency passport is always with you.

It should be clear that the previously described embodiment of the system 1 according to the invention serves only as an example and changes and / or modifications are possible without leaving the scope of protection of the present application, which is defined by the appended claims.
