Abstract

The emergency siren detector unit has an external microphone (1) with computer (2) to analyze the sound and activate the car loudspeaker (3), reduce the radio (4) volume or sound an acoustic warning (5) when emergency vehicle sirens are detected.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Technische Einheit mit optischer und/oder akustischer Warngebung zur Erkennung von Sirenen und/oder Hupanlagen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a technical unit with an optical and / or acoustic Warning for the detection of sirens and / or horn systems according to the generic term of the Claim 1.

Eine solche Einheit ist neu und steht im Grunde in keinem Zusammenhang zu anderen Patenten.Such a unit is new and basically has no connection to other patents.

In Fahrzeugen, PKW, LKW etc. wird bzw. ist die Schallisolierung immer mehr verstärkt worden, so dass es für viele Menschen schwierig ist, Sirenen und/oder Hupanlagen von außen innen wahrzunehmen. Darüber hinaus ist der Lautstärkepegel in manchen Fahrzeugen selbst (z. B. durch Musikanlagen) so hoch, dass von innen nur wenig wahrgenommen werden kann. Und auch Schwerhörige haben große Probleme, Außengeräusche wahrzunehmen.In vehicles, cars, trucks etc., the sound insulation is or has been increasingly reinforced, so that it is difficult for many people to use sirens and / or horn systems from the outside perceive. In addition, the volume level is in some vehicles themselves (e.g. by Music systems) so high that little can be seen from the inside. And also Hearing impaired people have great problems perceiving outside noise.

Durch die im Fahrzeug installierte Einheit (1-6) werden die Geräusche von außen permanent durch ein Mikrofon (1) aufgenommen. Diese Daten werden zum Rechner (2) weitergegeben, der diese Geräusche auswertet. Der im Rechner (2) installierte Chip hat die verschiedensten Alarmsirenen und Huptöne gespeichert (evtl. je nach landesüblichem Gebrauch), dadurch hat der Rechner (2) die Eigenschaft, die speziellen Signale zu erkennen. Die Sensibilität kann an dem Rechner (2) eingestellt werden. Der Rechner (2) kann an verschiedene Geräte (3-6) angeschlossen werden.The unit ( 1-6 ) installed in the vehicle permanently records the noise from the outside through a microphone ( 1 ). This data is passed on to the computer ( 2 ), which evaluates these noises. The chip installed in the computer ( 2 ) has stored a wide variety of alarm sirens and horn sounds (possibly depending on the customary use in the country), which gives the computer ( 2 ) the ability to recognize the special signals. The sensitivity can be set on the computer ( 2 ). The computer ( 2 ) can be connected to various devices ( 3-6 ).

An eine Musikanlage (4), das die Lautstärke automatisch verringert oder über die Lautsprecheranlage (3), die dann einen Warnton abgibt. An ein Warnlichtsignalgeber (6), der aufleuchtet oder an einen Akustikwarngeber (5), der einen Warnton erzeugt. Die Insassen des Fahrzeuges werden so gewarnt.To a music system ( 4 ) that automatically reduces the volume or via the loudspeaker system ( 3 ), which then emits a warning tone. To a warning light signal transmitter ( 6 ) that lights up or to an acoustic warning transmitter ( 5 ) that generates a warning tone. The occupants of the vehicle are warned in this way.

Der Vorteil der Einheit besteht darin, daß Hupen und insbesonders Warnsirenen von Rettungs- und Polizeifahrzeugen frühzeitig bzw. frühzeitiger wahrgenommen werden, so daß frühzeitigeres Handeln im Straßenverkehr möglich ist. So ist auszuschließen, dass diese Signale zu spät oder gar nicht wahrgenommen werden. Dieses ist im Sinne der Verkehrs- bzw. Straßensicherheit ein großer Vorteil.The advantage of the unit is that horns and especially warning sirens from rescue and Police vehicles are perceived early or earlier, so that early action is possible in traffic. So it can be excluded that these signals are too late or not at all be perceived. This is a major advantage in terms of traffic and road safety.

Ein Rettungswagen nähert sich mit laufender Sirene in den Aufnahmebereich- bzw. Erkennungsbereich der im KFZ installierten Einheit. Das Mikrofon (1) gibt diese Signale zum Rechner (2) weiter, erkennt die Sirene und aktiviert die Musikanlage (4) zur Lautstärkeminderung oder die Warntongebung über die Lautsprecheranlage (3) und/oder den Warnlichtsignalgeber (6), der gut sichtbar im Fahrzeug installiert ist und/oder den Akustikwarngeber (5), der sich im Fahrzeug befindet. Jetzt kann der Fahrzeugführer frühzeitiger reagieren und ggf. den Weg für das Rettungsfahrzeug freigeben. So ist auszuschließen, dass es zur Verkehrsgefährdung kommt.An ambulance approaches the recording or detection area of the unit installed in the vehicle with the siren running. The microphone ( 1 ) passes these signals on to the computer ( 2 ), recognizes the siren and activates the music system ( 4 ) to reduce the volume or the warning sound via the loudspeaker system ( 3 ) and / or the warning light signal transmitter ( 6 ), which is clearly visible in the vehicle is installed and / or the acoustic warning transmitter ( 5 ), which is located in the vehicle. Now the driver can react earlier and, if necessary, clear the way for the ambulance. So it can be excluded that there is a risk to traffic.

Claims (4)
