According to one aspect of the present application, a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer is provided. Referring to fig. 1, the method includes the steps of:

Wherein the distress device is used for a corresponding user to call for help to inform a related volunteer to rescue, can be a fixed or movable electronic device and is configured to communicate with a corresponding network device; the network device is also configured to communicate with a corresponding one or more rescue user devices; the one or more rescue user devices are held by corresponding rescue volunteers, for example, the one or more rescue user devices are computing devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable electronic devices, and the like used by the rescue volunteers.

The following describes in detail specific embodiments of the present application from the perspective of a network device, a distress call device, and a rescue user device, respectively.

According to one aspect of the application, a method for providing rescue information to rescuers at a network device side is provided. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes steps S101, S102, and S103. In step S101, a network device receives a distress request sent by a corresponding distress device, where the distress request includes positioning basis information of the distress device. In step S102, the network device determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the information of the distress call location of the distress call device and the information of the storage location of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. In step S103, the network device receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user device.

Specifically, in step S101, the network device receives a distress request sent by a corresponding distress device, where the distress request includes location basis information of the distress device. The distress request is triggered by the distress device, for example, the distress request is triggered based on any one of the following items including but not limited to:

triggering operations by the distress user on presses/clicks or the like of control means (e.g. buttons or sliders) of the distress device;

a specific voice instruction of the calling user, for example the calling user issues a voice instruction with a specific keyword to the calling device;

-the distress user making a specific gesture or combination of gestures;

a particular change in the position of the saving user, for example a fall of the saving user detected by the saving device, which in some embodiments is worn by the saving user.

In some embodiments, the distress call request is triggered by a distress user in an emergency situation where the user needs to be rescued, so that the user can be helped before calling a relevant rescue volunteer; in other embodiments, the call for help request is triggered by a person other than the person needing help (the call for help user) to call the relevant rescue volunteer to provide help. In any case, the positioning basis information is used for the network equipment to determine the position of the help calling user, and inform the corresponding rescue volunteer to go to the position and provide help.

Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the above-described embodiments of triggering a distress call are only examples and not intended to limit the present application, and other embodiments that are currently or later become known are also included in the scope of the present application and are incorporated by reference herein.

In step S102, the network device determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the information of the distress call location of the distress call device and the information of the storage location of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. For example, in some embodiments, the network device pre-stores geographic location information of one or more rescue user devices (and corresponding rescue volunteers) (e.g., the corresponding rescue volunteers are often active in an area), or queries one or more rescue user devices for their geographic location information in real-time/intermittently; in the case where the geographic location of the rescue user device is available to the network device, the network device determines the nearest one or more rescue user devices therein based on the location of the rescuer and the location of the one or more rescue user devices, and sends the location of the rescuer and the storage location of available wearable rescue devices (e.g., smart helmets, smart glasses, etc.) for the corresponding rescue volunteers to take the wearable rescue devices and go to the location of the rescuer to provide assistance. Of course, the network device may also send the above-mentioned call-for-help location information and the storage location information of the wearable rescue device according to other logic, for example, to all or active (for example, in an "available" or on state) rescue user devices. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described manner for selecting the rescue user device and sending the related information is only an example and not a limitation of the present application, and other embodiments that are currently or later become possible are also included in the scope of the present application and are included by reference.

Here, in some embodiments, the wearable rescue device is stored in a public area for a rescue volunteer with a demand to use, so that multi-user multiplexing of the wearable rescue device is realized, and the utilization rate of the wearable rescue device is improved; because wearable rescue equipment does not need to be provided for each rescue volunteer, the scheme can also reduce the deployment cost of the whole rescue system.

Subsequently, in step S103, the network device receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user device. For example, the rescue response information includes (but is not limited to) agreement with and rescue, disagreement with and rescue, etc., and these rescue response information are merely examples, and other existing or future rescue response information, as applicable to the present application, is also included in the scope of the present application and is included by reference herein. In some embodiments, the network device performs subsequent steps based on the rescue response information, such as continuing to seek responses from other rescue volunteers to the distress request when the rescue response information includes "not approved for departure and rescue".

In some embodiments, the above-mentioned positioning information is any one of the following items, or a combination of the following items:

device identification information of the distress device, for example a docket number, a serial number, etc. of the distress device, and the network device may determine the geographical location of the distress device on the basis of the device identification information query;

satellite positioning information of the distress device, for example, the satellite positioning information is acquired based on a satellite positioning module (e.g., a GPS module, a beidou positioning module, a GLONASS module, etc.) built in the distress device;

the preset information of the location of the call for help of the call device, for example, by default a fixed location information is sent when a certain device triggers a call for help.

Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described positioning information is merely exemplary and not limiting, and other existing or future positioning information, such as may be suitable for use in the present application, is also included within the scope of the present application and is incorporated by reference herein.

When the network device is able to know the location of the rescue user device (for example, the rescue user device may periodically send its real-time location), in order to more accurately determine the volunteer going to the location of the person calling for help for rescue, in some embodiments, the step S102 includes substeps 1021 and substeps 1022 (both not shown).

Specifically, in sub-step S1021, the network device determines, based on the positioning basis information, the distress location information of the distress device, and determines, based on the distress location information, at least one rescue user device, for example, a rescue user device closest to the distress device is determined by calculation, or a rescue user device close enough to the location of the distress device (for example, located in a circular area with a certain preset radius) is determined by calculation, or a rescue user device located in the same community or street as the distress device is determined by inquiry. For example, in some embodiments, the distress location information of the distress device is determined based on the positioning basis information, and at least one rescue user device determined to be less than a preset distance from the distress location information is queried.

Subsequently, in sub-step S1022, the network device sends the distress location information and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. The network device can send the information to one rescue user device and can also send the information to a plurality of rescue user devices. For example, in some embodiments, the network device sends the distress location information and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to a rescue user device closest to the distress device among the at least one rescue user device, so as to improve rescue efficiency as much as possible; in other embodiments, the network device sends the information to a plurality of rescue user devices to improve the success rate of rescue.

In some embodiments, to facilitate the volunteer participating in the rescue obtaining wearable rescue devices in the vicinity of the rescuer, in sub-step S1022, the network device determines storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device based on the distress location information query, and then sends the distress location information and the storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. For example, the storage location of a wearable rescue device, such as a smart helmet, has been known in advance and entered into a corresponding database, or the system has previously ascertained the storage status of the relevant device (e.g., the network device may be in communication with the wearable rescue device, and the network device has queried to determine the location of the wearable rescue device, or the storage status, such as whether it is in a repository).

In some cases, for the information of the calling for help location sent by the network device and the information of the storage location of the related wearable rescue device, if the rescue user equipment responds, or if the rescue response information sent by the rescue user equipment includes "determining to participate in rescue", or the like, or if the rescue user agrees to participate in rescue actions, a rescuer determined to participate in rescue is generated among the original unspecified rescuers. To provide further optimized information (e.g., a storage location of the rescue device that is more convenient for the rescuer to access) to help the rescuer more efficiently acquire the required equipment, in some embodiments, the above method further includes step S104 (not shown). Wherein, in step S103, the network device receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by a first rescue user device of the at least one rescue user device; subsequently, in step S104, the network device returns storage location information of a preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device to the first rescue user device based on the rescue response information. The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

On this basis, in some embodiments, to ensure that wearable rescue devices about to be taken by volunteers participating in rescue are not mistakenly taken by other rescuers to delay rescue, a "reservation" flag may be set for each wearable rescue device. For example, if a device is marked as "reserved," the device has determined to be taken by a rescuer, suggesting that the rescuer take other devices; if a device is marked as "not reserved," the device is available to the current rescuer, and the rescuer can "reserve" the device and mark it as "reserved. Based on this, in step S102, the network device determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends information of a distress location of the distress device and information of a storage location of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue device, wherein the reservation state information of the at least one wearable rescue device is not reserved. Accordingly, in the above step S104, the network device updates the reservation state information of the preferred rescue device in the at least one wearable rescue device to be reserved based on the rescue response information, and returns the storage location information of the preferred rescue device to the first rescue user device.

In some embodiments, in order to further arrange in a comprehensive manner to improve the rescue efficiency, the wearable rescue equipment located in a path from the volunteer to the position of the person calling for help can be inquired, or the wearable rescue equipment closer to the path can be inquired for the volunteer to take, so that the time is saved. Accordingly, the step S104 includes a sub-step S1041, a sub-step S1042, and a sub-step S1043 (both not shown). In sub-step S1041, the network device determines, based on the rescue response information, a first distance between each wearable rescue device and the first rescue user device and a second distance between each wearable rescue device and the help-calling device according to the storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device, respectively. In sub-step S1042, the network device determines, based on the first distance and the second distance corresponding to each wearable rescue device, a preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device, for example, if the first distance and the second distance corresponding to a certain wearable rescue device or certain wearable rescue devices satisfy a distance condition, the wearable rescue device (S) is determined as the preferred rescue device. In sub-step S1043, the network device returns the storage location information of the preferred rescue device to the first rescue user device.

For example, the wearable rescue device is an intelligent helmet (called a rescue helmet), the rescue user device, the rescue helmet and the help-calling device of the rescuer are all positioned and can present corresponding positioning on a map when needed, and the distance between the two points can be calculated according to the positioning of the two points. Defining a Distance threshold value as x, assuming that the path Distance (Distance calculated from the road length) between the rescuer (and its rescue user equipment) and the rescue helmet is d1, and the path Distance between the rescue helmet and the rescuer (and the rescue equipment) is d2, calculating the difference between (d1+ d2) and x, when the absolute value of the difference is minimum, the corresponding path is the optimal path, and the corresponding rescue helmet is determined as the "optimal helmet" (the preferred rescue equipment).

In correspondence with the above-described method for providing rescue information to a rescuer on the network device side, according to another aspect of the present application, a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer on the distress device side is provided. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes step S201. In step S201, a distress call device sends a distress call request to a corresponding network device, where the distress call request includes positioning basis information of the distress call device; the network equipment determines at least one rescue user equipment based on the positioning basis information and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue equipment to at least one of the at least one rescue equipment.

For example, the distress request is triggered based on any one of, including but not limited to:

-the distress user making a specific gesture or combination of gestures;

Also, corresponding to the above-mentioned method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a network device side, according to another aspect of the present application, a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a rescue user device side is also provided. Referring to fig. 4, the method includes steps S301, S302, and S303.

Specifically, in step S301, the rescue user equipment receives the information of the distress device' S distress location, which is sent by the corresponding network equipment based on the distress request sent by the distress device, and the information of the storage location of at least one wearable rescue device. Here, in some embodiments, the wearable rescue device is stored in a public area for a rescue volunteer with a demand to use, so that multi-user multiplexing of the wearable rescue device is realized, and the utilization rate of the wearable rescue device is improved; because wearable rescue equipment does not need to be provided for each rescue volunteer, the scheme can also reduce the deployment cost of the whole rescue system.

In step S302, the rescue user equipment provides the distress call prompt information about the distress call request, and presents the storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device on a map interface. For example, the rescue user equipment provides the distress prompt information in the form of sound, text, graphics/images and the like, presents a map interface on a screen of the rescue user equipment, and presents the storage position of the corresponding wearable rescue equipment on the map interface for the rescuers to go to for taking. On the map interface, optionally, the current position of the rescuer (determined by a satellite positioning module based on rescue user equipment, for example), the position of the rescuer, a recommended path for the rescuer to go to the position of the rescuer or the storage position of the wearable rescue equipment, and the like can be presented so as to improve rescue efficiency; accordingly, the method further includes a step S306 (not shown), in which step S306, the rescue user device presents the recommended route information on the map interface.

In step S303, the rescue user equipment transmits rescue response information about the distress request to the network device.

In some cases, for the information of the calling for help location sent by the network device and the information of the storage location of the related wearable rescue device, if the rescue user equipment responds, or if the rescue response information sent by the rescue user equipment includes "determining to participate in rescue", or the like, or if the rescue user agrees to participate in rescue actions, a rescuer determined to participate in rescue is generated among the original unspecified rescuers. To provide further optimized information (e.g., a storage location of the rescue device that is more convenient for the rescuer to access) to help the rescuer more efficiently acquire the required equipment, in some embodiments, the above method further includes step S304 (not shown). In step S304, the rescue user device receives the storage location information of the preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device, which is sent by the network device based on the rescue response information, and distinguishes the storage location information presenting the preferred rescue device, for example, presents the storage location in a different manner (including but not limited to presenting in icons of different sizes, different colors, etc., or presenting in a flashing manner). The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices by the network device, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour is needed) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

On this basis, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the volunteer participating in the rescue to obtain the wearable rescue apparatus nearby to improve the rescue efficiency, the method further includes step S305 (not shown). In step S305, the rescue user device transmits location information of the rescue user device to the network device. Wherein the above-mentioned preferred rescue device is determined from the at least one wearable rescue device based on the location information of the rescue user device. For example, the storage location of a wearable rescue device, such as a smart helmet, has been known in advance and entered into a corresponding database, or the system has previously ascertained the storage status of the relevant device (e.g., the network device may be in communication with the wearable rescue device, and the network device has queried to determine the location of the wearable rescue device, or the storage status, such as whether it is in a repository). The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

In some embodiments, to ensure that wearable rescue devices about to be taken by volunteers participating in rescue are not missed by other rescuers to delay rescue, a "reservation" flag may be set for each wearable rescue device. For example, if a device is marked as "reserved," the device has determined to be taken by a rescuer, suggesting that the rescuer take other devices; if a device is marked as "not reserved," the device is available to the current rescuer, and the rescuer can "reserve" the device and mark it as "reserved. Based thereon, in some embodiments, the rescue response information is used to update the reservation state information of the at least one wearable rescue device to be reserved. At this time, the network device determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue device, wherein the reservation state information of the at least one wearable rescue device is not reserved; subsequently, the network device updates the reservation state information of the preferred rescue device in the at least one wearable rescue device to be reserved based on the rescue response information, and returns the storage position information of the preferred rescue device to the first rescue user device.

The above details are specific embodiments of the method for providing rescue information to rescuers, and these specific embodiments can provide rescuers with corresponding wearable rescue equipment to go to the location of the person calling for help and implement rescue in time and accurately. To ensure the smooth deployment of the rescue operation, especially in emergency events that may involve sudden cardiac arrest, the rescuer may also carry an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the rescue scene.

Accordingly, according to an aspect of the present application, there is also provided a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer. Referring to fig. 5, the method includes the steps of:

The specific implementation of the above method is the same or substantially the same as the method for providing rescue information to rescuers, and is not described again and is included herein by reference. The difference is that based on the aforementioned method for providing rescue information to a rescuer, the network device sends storage location information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device; and based on the method, the network device sends the storage location information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment. Wherein, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is crucial to acquire AED devices and rescue patients as soon as possible, so in some embodiments, a preferred rescue device can be screened out from all available AED devices for rescue users to improve rescue efficiency. The related embodiments are the same or substantially the same as the above-described embodiments for determining a preferred rescue device based on a wearable rescue device, and are not repeated and are included herein by reference. For example, the network device reserves the AED device for the rescuer, provides the rescuer with an immediate AED device, provides the rescuer with an AED device located on the way to the location of the rescuer, provides the rescuer with an AED device closest to the way to the location of the rescuer, and so on. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that these specific embodiments of the screening preferred rescue apparatus are by way of example only and are not intended to limit the present application in any way; other embodiments of the screening preferred rescue apparatus that are currently or later become available are also encompassed within the scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated by reference.

In correspondence with the above method for providing rescue information to a rescuer, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer on a network device side. Referring to fig. 6, the method includes steps S401, S402, and S403. In step S401, the network device receives a distress request sent by a corresponding distress device, where the distress request includes location basis information of the distress device. In step S402, the network device determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends information of a call location of the call device and information of a storage location of at least one AED device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. In step S403, the network device receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user device. The specific implementation manner of the method is the same as or substantially the same as the foregoing method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a network device side, and is not described again and is included herein by way of reference. The difference is that based on the method for providing rescue information to rescuers at the network device side, the network device sends storage location information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device; and based on the method, the network device sends the storage location information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment.

Furthermore, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is difficult for a single person to continue high quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation because these events typically require Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on the patient as well. Therefore, in order to further improve the rescue effect and improve the rescue efficiency, other rescue volunteers can be informed to go to rescue. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the method further includes steps S404 and S405 (both not shown). In step S404, the network device determines one or more assistance user devices based on the rescue response information, for example, the assistance user devices based on the location information of the user devices of other rescue volunteers, the assistance user devices including but not limited to being located in the same cell or street as the rescuer, being less than a distance threshold, and the like; in step S405, the network device sends an assistance rescue instruction to the one or more assistance rescue user devices (for example, the instruction provides the assistance rescue user devices with location information of a caller or a recommended path for an assistance rescuer to go to a location of the rescuer), and sends assistance rescue information about the one or more assistance rescue user devices to the rescue user device corresponding to the rescue response information (for example, the assistance rescue information includes, but is not limited to, identity information, number information, expected arrival time, and the like of users participating in assistance).

In correspondence with the above method for providing rescue information to a rescuer, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a distress device side. Referring to fig. 7, the method includes step S501. In step S501, a distress call device sends a distress call request to a corresponding network device, where the distress call request includes positioning basis information of the distress call device; the network equipment determines at least one rescue user equipment based on the positioning basis information and sends the information of the calling position of the calling equipment and the information of the storage position of at least one AED (automated equipment) to at least one of the at least one rescue equipment. The specific implementation manner is the same as or substantially the same as the aforementioned method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a rescue equipment side, and is not described again and incorporated herein by reference. The method is characterized in that based on the method for providing rescue information to rescuers at the help-calling device side, the network device sends storage position information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device; and based on the method, the network device sends the storage location information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment.

Corresponding to the method for providing rescue information to a rescuer, according to another aspect of the present application, a method for providing rescue information to a rescuer on the side of a rescue user equipment is also provided. Referring to fig. 8, the method includes step S601, step S602, step S603. In step S601, the rescue user equipment receives the information of the call-for-help location of the call-for-help device and the information of the storage location of at least one AED device, which are sent by the corresponding network device based on the call-for-help request sent by the call-for-help device. In step S602, the rescue user device provides a call prompt message regarding the call request and presents storage location information of the at least one AED device on a map interface. In step S603, the rescue user equipment transmits rescue response information about the distress request to the network device. The specific implementation manner of the method is the same as or substantially the same as the aforementioned method for providing rescue information to a rescuer at a rescue user equipment end, and is not described again and is included herein by way of reference. The difference is that based on the method for providing rescue information to rescuers at the rescue user equipment side, the network equipment sends storage location information of the wearable rescue equipment to the rescue user equipment; and based on the method, the network device sends the storage location information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment.

Furthermore, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is difficult for a single person to continue high quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation because these events typically require Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on the patient as well. Therefore, in order to further improve the rescue effect and improve the rescue efficiency, other rescue volunteers can be informed to go to rescue. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the method further comprises step S604 (not shown). In step S604, the rescue user device receives assistance information regarding one or more assistance user devices. For example, the assistance information includes, but is not limited to, identity information, number of people information, expected arrival time, etc. of the users participating in the assistance.

According to another aspect of the present application, a network device 100 for providing rescue information to rescuers is provided. Referring to fig. 9, the network device includes a distress request receiving module 101, a location information transmitting module 102, and a rescue response receiving module 103. The distress request receiving module 101 receives a distress request sent by corresponding distress equipment, wherein the distress request includes positioning basis information of the distress equipment. The location information sending module 102 determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. The rescue response receiving module 103 receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user equipment.

Specifically, the distress request receiving module 101 receives a distress request sent by corresponding distress equipment, where the distress request includes positioning basis information of the distress equipment. The distress request is triggered by the distress device, for example, the distress request is triggered based on any one of the following items including but not limited to:

-the distress user making a specific gesture or combination of gestures;

The location information sending module 102 determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. For example, in some embodiments, the network device pre-stores geographic location information of one or more rescue user devices (and corresponding rescue volunteers) (e.g., the corresponding rescue volunteers are often active in an area), or queries one or more rescue user devices for their geographic location information in real-time/intermittently; in the case where the geographic location of the rescue user device is available to the network device, the network device determines the nearest one or more rescue user devices therein based on the location of the rescuer and the location of the one or more rescue user devices, and sends the location of the rescuer and the storage location of available wearable rescue devices (e.g., smart helmets, smart glasses, etc.) for the corresponding rescue volunteers to take the wearable rescue devices and go to the location of the rescuer to provide assistance. Of course, the network device may also send the above-mentioned call-for-help location information and the storage location information of the wearable rescue device according to other logic, for example, to all or active (for example, in an "available" or on state) rescue user devices. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described manner for selecting the rescue user device and sending the related information is only an example and not a limitation of the present application, and other embodiments that are currently or later become possible are also included in the scope of the present application and are included by reference.

Subsequently, the rescue response receiving module 103 receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user equipment. For example, the rescue response information includes (but is not limited to) agreement with and rescue, disagreement with and rescue, etc., and these rescue response information are merely examples, and other existing or future rescue response information, as applicable to the present application, is also included in the scope of the present application and is included by reference herein. In some embodiments, the network device performs subsequent steps based on the rescue response information, such as continuing to seek responses from other rescue volunteers to the distress request when the rescue response information includes "not approved for departure and rescue".

When the network device can know the location of the rescue user device (for example, the rescue user device may periodically send its real-time location), in order to more accurately determine the volunteer going to the location of the person calling for help for rescue, in some embodiments, the location information sending module 102 includes a rescue device determining unit 1021 and a location information sending unit 1022 (both not shown).

Specifically, the rescue device determining unit 1021 determines the help calling position information of the help calling device based on the positioning basis information, and determines at least one rescue user device based on the help calling position information, for example, a rescue user device closest to the help calling device is determined by calculation, or a rescue user device close enough to the position of the help calling device (for example, located in a circular area with a certain preset radius) is determined by calculation, or a rescue user device located in the same community or street as the help calling device is determined by inquiry. For example, in some embodiments, the distress location information of the distress device is determined based on the positioning basis information, and at least one rescue user device determined to be less than a preset distance from the distress location information is queried.

Subsequently, the location information transmitting unit 1022 transmits the distress location information and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. The network device can send the information to one rescue user device and can also send the information to a plurality of rescue user devices. For example, in some embodiments, the network device sends the distress location information and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to a rescue user device closest to the distress device among the at least one rescue user device, so as to improve rescue efficiency as much as possible; in other embodiments, the network device sends the information to a plurality of rescue user devices to improve the success rate of rescue.

In some embodiments, to facilitate the volunteers participating in the rescue to obtain wearable rescue devices in the vicinity of the rescuer, the location information transmitting unit 1022 determines storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device based on the distress location information query, and then transmits the distress location information and the storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. For example, the storage location of a wearable rescue device, such as a smart helmet, has been known in advance and entered into a corresponding database, or the system has previously ascertained the storage status of the relevant device (e.g., the network device may be in communication with the wearable rescue device, and the network device has queried to determine the location of the wearable rescue device, or the storage status, such as whether it is in a repository).

In some cases, for the information of the calling for help location sent by the network device and the information of the storage location of the related wearable rescue device, if the rescue user equipment responds, or if the rescue response information sent by the rescue user equipment includes "determining to participate in rescue", or the like, or if the rescue user agrees to participate in rescue actions, a rescuer determined to participate in rescue is generated among the original unspecified rescuers. To provide further optimized information (e.g., a location of storage for the rescue device that is more convenient for the rescuer to access) to help the rescuer more efficiently acquire the required equipment, in some embodiments, the device also includes a preferred device information sending module 104 (not shown). Wherein the rescue response receiving module 103 receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by a first rescue user equipment in the at least one rescue user equipment; and then the preferred device information sending module returns the storage position information of the preferred rescue device in the at least one wearable rescue device to the first rescue user device based on the rescue response information. The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

On this basis, in some embodiments, to ensure that wearable rescue devices about to be taken by volunteers participating in rescue are not mistakenly taken by other rescuers to delay rescue, a "reservation" flag may be set for each wearable rescue device. For example, if a device is marked as "reserved," the device has determined to be taken by a rescuer, suggesting that the rescuer take other devices; if a device is marked as "not reserved," the device is available to the current rescuer, and the rescuer can "reserve" the device and mark it as "reserved. Based on this, the location information sending module 102 determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device to at least one of the at least one rescue device, wherein the reservation state information of the at least one wearable rescue device is not reserved. Accordingly, the preferred device information sending module 104 updates the reservation state information of the preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device to be reserved based on the rescue response information, and returns the storage location information of the preferred rescue device to the first rescue user device.

In some embodiments, in order to further arrange in a comprehensive manner to improve the rescue efficiency, the wearable rescue equipment located in a path from the volunteer to the position of the person calling for help can be inquired, or the wearable rescue equipment closer to the path can be inquired for the volunteer to take, so that the time is saved. Accordingly, the preferred device information sending module 104 includes a distance determining unit 1041, a preferred device determining unit 1042, and a preferred device information sending unit 1043 (none of which is shown). The distance determining unit 1041 determines a first distance between each wearable rescue device and the first rescue user device and a second distance between each wearable rescue device and the help calling device according to the storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device based on the rescue response information. The preferred device determining unit 1042 determines, based on the first distance and the second distance corresponding to each wearable rescue device, a preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device, for example, if the first distance and the second distance corresponding to a certain wearable rescue device or certain wearable rescue devices satisfy a distance condition, the wearable rescue device(s) is/are determined as the preferred rescue device(s). The preferred device information sending unit 1043 returns the storage location information of the preferred rescue device to the first rescue user device.

Corresponding to the above-described network device for providing rescue information to a rescuer, according to another aspect of the present application, there is provided a distress apparatus 200 for providing rescue information to a rescuer. Referring to fig. 10, the distress call device 200 includes a distress request transmitting module 201. The distress request sending module 201 sends a distress request to corresponding network equipment, wherein the distress request comprises positioning basis information of the distress equipment; the network equipment determines at least one rescue user equipment based on the positioning basis information and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue equipment to at least one of the at least one rescue equipment.

-the distress user making a specific gesture or combination of gestures;

Also, corresponding to the above-described network device for providing rescue information to a rescuer, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a rescue user device 300 for providing rescue information to a rescuer. Referring to fig. 11, the rescue user equipment 300 includes a location information receiving module 301, a distress information presenting module 302, and a rescue response transmitting module 303.

Specifically, the location information receiving module 301 receives the distress location information of the distress device, which is sent by the corresponding network device based on the distress request sent by the distress device, and the storage location information of at least one wearable rescue device. Here, in some embodiments, the wearable rescue device is stored in a public area for a rescue volunteer with a demand to use, so that multi-user multiplexing of the wearable rescue device is realized, and the utilization rate of the wearable rescue device is improved; because wearable rescue equipment does not need to be provided for each rescue volunteer, the scheme can also reduce the deployment cost of the whole rescue system.

The distress message presentation module 302 provides distress prompt messages related to the distress request and presents storage location information of the at least one wearable rescue device on a map interface. For example, the rescue user equipment provides the distress prompt information in the form of sound, text, graphics/images and the like, presents a map interface on a screen of the rescue user equipment, and presents the storage position of the corresponding wearable rescue equipment on the map interface for the rescuers to go to for taking. On the map interface, optionally, the current position of the rescuer (determined by a satellite positioning module based on rescue user equipment, for example), the position of the rescuer, a recommended path for the rescuer to go to the position of the rescuer or the storage position of the wearable rescue equipment, and the like can be presented so as to improve rescue efficiency; correspondingly, the device further comprises a recommended path presenting module 306, and the recommended path presenting module 306 presents the recommended path information on the map interface.

The rescue response sending module 303 sends rescue response information about the distress request to the network device.

In some cases, for the information of the calling for help location sent by the network device and the information of the storage location of the related wearable rescue device, if the rescue user equipment responds, or if the rescue response information sent by the rescue user equipment includes "determining to participate in rescue", or the like, or if the rescue user agrees to participate in rescue actions, a rescuer determined to participate in rescue is generated among the original unspecified rescuers. To provide further optimized information (e.g., a storage location of the rescue device that is more convenient for the rescuer to access) to help the rescuer more efficiently acquire the required equipment, in some embodiments, the device further includes a differential presentation module 304 (not shown). Distinguishing and presenting module 304 receives the storage location information of the preferred rescue device of the at least one wearable rescue device, which is sent by the network device based on the rescue response information, and distinguishes and presents the storage location information of the preferred rescue device, for example, presents the storage location in different manners (including but not limited to presenting in icons of different sizes, different colors, etc., or presenting in a flashing manner). The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices by the network device, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour is needed) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

On this basis, in some embodiments, to facilitate the nearby acquisition of wearable rescue devices by volunteers participating in the rescue to improve rescue efficiency, the devices also include a rescue user device location determination module 305 (not shown). The rescue user device location determination module 305 sends the location information of the rescue user device to the network device. Wherein the above-mentioned preferred rescue device is determined from the at least one wearable rescue device based on the location information of the rescue user device. For example, the storage location of a wearable rescue device, such as a smart helmet, has been known in advance and entered into a corresponding database, or the system has previously ascertained the storage status of the relevant device (e.g., the network device may be in communication with the wearable rescue device, and the network device has queried to determine the location of the wearable rescue device, or the storage status, such as whether it is in a repository). The preferred rescue device is selected from available wearable rescue devices, for example, the wearable rescue device with good storage condition, closest to the volunteer, or closest to the route from the volunteer to the position of the rescuer (i.e., the wearable rescue device with the least detour) is selected from the available wearable rescue devices, so that the rescue efficiency and the rescue success rate are improved.

The above details are specific embodiments of the present application for providing rescue information to rescuers, and these specific embodiments can provide rescuers with corresponding wearable rescue devices to the location of the person calling for help and perform rescue timely and accurately. To ensure the smooth deployment of the rescue operation, especially in emergency events that may involve sudden cardiac arrest, the rescuer may also carry an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the rescue scene. In addition to sending the storage location information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device as described above, the system may also provide the storage location information of the AED device to the rescue user device. Wherein, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is crucial to acquire AED devices and rescue patients as soon as possible, so in some embodiments, a preferred rescue device can be screened out from all available AED devices for rescue users to improve rescue efficiency. The related embodiments are the same or substantially the same as the above-described embodiments for determining a preferred rescue device based on a wearable rescue device, and are not repeated and are included herein by reference. For example, the network device reserves the AED device for the rescuer, provides the rescuer with an immediate AED device, provides the rescuer with an AED device located on the way to the location of the rescuer, provides the rescuer with an AED device closest to the way to the location of the rescuer, and so on. Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that these specific embodiments of the screening preferred rescue apparatus are by way of example only and are not intended to limit the present application in any way; other embodiments of the screening preferred rescue apparatus that are currently or later become available are also encompassed within the scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Accordingly, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a network device 400 for providing rescue information to rescuers. Referring to fig. 12, the network device 400 includes a distress request receiving module 401, a location information transmitting module 402, and a rescue response receiving module 403. The distress request receiving module 401 receives a distress request sent by corresponding distress equipment, where the distress request includes positioning basis information of the distress equipment. The location information sending module 402 determines at least one rescue user device based on the positioning basis information, and sends the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one AED device to at least one of the at least one rescue user device. The rescue response receiving module 403 receives rescue response information about the distress request sent by at least one rescue user equipment. The specific implementation is the same or substantially the same as the network device for providing rescue information to rescuers, and is not described again and is included herein by way of reference. The difference is that based on the network device for providing rescue information to the rescuers, the network device sends storage location information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device; and based on the network device, the network device sends the storage location information of the AED device to the rescue user device.

Furthermore, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is difficult for a single person to continue high quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation because these events typically require Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on the patient as well. Therefore, in order to further improve the rescue effect and improve the rescue efficiency, other rescue volunteers can be informed to go to rescue. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the apparatus further includes an assistant user determination module 404 and an assistant instruction sending module 405 (both not shown). The assisted user determination module 404 determines one or more assisted rescue user devices based on the rescue response information, e.g., based on location information of user devices of other rescue volunteers, including but not limited to being located in the same cell or street as the rescuer, being less than a distance threshold, etc.; the assistance instruction sending module 405 sends an assistance rescue instruction to the one or more assistance rescue user equipments (for example, the instruction provides the assistance rescue user equipment with location information of a caller or a recommended path for the assistance rescuer to go to the location of the rescuer), and sends assistance rescue information about the one or more assistance rescue user equipments (for example, the assistance rescue information includes, but is not limited to, identity information, number information, expected arrival time, etc. of the users participating in assistance) to the rescue user equipment corresponding to the rescue response information.

Correspondingly, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a distress call device 500 for providing rescue information to a rescuer. Referring to fig. 13, the distress device 500 includes a distress request transmitting module 501. The distress request sending module 501 sends a distress request to a corresponding network device, where the distress request includes positioning basis information of the distress device; the network equipment determines at least one rescue user equipment based on the positioning basis information and sends the information of the calling position of the calling equipment and the information of the storage position of at least one AED (automated equipment) to at least one of the at least one rescue equipment. The specific implementation manner of the rescue information providing device is the same as or substantially the same as that of the rescue information providing device, which is not described in detail herein and is included by reference. The difference is that based on the help calling device for providing rescue information to the rescuers, the network device sends storage position information of the wearable rescue device to the rescue user device; and based on the help-calling device, the network device sends the storage position information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment.

Correspondingly, according to another aspect of the present application, there is also provided a rescue user device 600 for providing rescue information to a rescuer. Referring to fig. 14, the rescue user equipment 600 includes a location information receiving module 601, a distress information presenting module 602, and a rescue responding sending module 603. The location information receiving module 601 receives the distress location information of the distress device and the storage location information of at least one AED device, which are sent by the corresponding network device based on a distress request sent by the distress device. A distress message presentation module 602 provides distress prompt messages regarding the distress request and presents storage location information for the at least one AED device on a map interface. The rescue response sending module 603 sends rescue response information about the distress request to the network device. The specific implementation is the same or substantially the same as the rescue user device for providing rescue information to a rescuer, and is not described again and is included herein by way of reference. The difference is that based on the rescue user equipment for providing rescue information to rescuers, the network equipment sends storage position information of the wearable rescue equipment to the rescue user equipment; and based on the rescue user equipment, the network equipment sends the storage position information of the AED equipment to the rescue user equipment.

Furthermore, for emergency rescue events involving cardiac arrest, it is difficult for a single person to continue high quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation because these events typically require Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) on the patient as well. Therefore, in order to further improve the rescue effect and improve the rescue efficiency, other rescue volunteers can be informed to go to rescue. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises an assistance information receiving module 604 (not shown). The assistance information receiving module 604 receives assistance information regarding one or more assistance user devices. For example, the assistance information includes, but is not limited to, identity information, number of people information, expected arrival time, etc. of the users participating in the assistance.
