Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for locating a person in need of help by means of a mobile personal emergency call system with a transmitter to be worn on the body of this person, the works on a receiver that automatically transfers the data after triggering an emergency call from specific location and personal data to automatically selected and / or previously specified addressees that can be called up from a memory and triggers one for implementation suitable transmitter of the procedure.
  • EP-A 0532 826 describes an emergency call device in which the emergency transmitter sends the Base station of a cordless landline telephone or a specially trained one Base station of a normal, corded radio network telephone responds.
  • a dialing process is initiated with which one or more previously stored phone numbers selected and a hands-free system switched on or stored text or a agreed tone sequence is retrieved.
  • a location of the emergency caller is not provided because the In any case, emergency calls can only be made from the vicinity of the base station.
  • the solution is suitable therefore only for use in retirement homes and similar facilities.
  • An emergency call system with low transmission power is the subject of DE-A 4 325 087.
  • the transmitter should emit a signal that is received by a special emergency call receiver can.
  • Such receivers can then be used in-house, in car parks, banks, trains, etc. be installed. These are intended to trigger an optical and acoustic signal with which willing helpers should be called.
  • the transmitter is said to be in a watch case be accommodated.
  • a location or data transmission is not provided here because the recipient is must always be in the immediate vicinity of the emergency caller. If there are no people around, This system fails and wants to provide help.
  • a transmitter according to DE-A 37 40 is also to be installed in a watch case 632.
  • the system requires specially assigned recipients who have an emergency call Telephone connection, e.g. to an emergency call center. Sender and receiver are on limited locations, so this solution is only useful for retirement homes etc. is.
  • emergency call systems are also known, which allow an almost global location of an emergency call using complicated technology.
  • Coded signals are sent to a via the C, D, E or a similar digital radio network Given headquarters.
  • the location of the vehicle is rough on the respective converter plot recognized and can then be precisely determined by means of signal propagation time measurement.
  • the method requires suitable facilities from the radio network operator.
  • a combination with the GPS satellite positioning system (Global Positioning System) is possible.
  • the location-independent emergency call systems described last set complicated and voluminous Facilities with corresponding energy requirements ahead that are only built-in devices for vehicles come into question.
  • the invention has for its object a method of the type mentioned specify that works with little energy, and an emergency transmitter, which are built small can and nevertheless allows easy location of the person in need almost anywhere in the world.
  • the object is achieved in that the transmitter after triggering a Emergency calls in small numbers and short intervals for reception by a digital one Suitable emergency call signals are sent to the mobile radio network, with at least one of them Emergency call signal as an identifiable identifier and individual personal data of the emergency caller are encoded, and that then with against the emergency signals a radio direction finding signal is transmitted at reduced power.
  • a transmitter suitable for the procedure must have a few like after triggering an emergency call Send the above-mentioned emergency signals and then send a radio direction signal switch.
  • the transmitter By dividing the emergency call signal into a few high-energy emergency calls and a subsequent one low-energy direction-finding signal, the transmitter can be built accordingly small, so that it takes up space a wristwatch or a pager.
  • the emergency call signal is preferably transmitted via the control channels of a digital one Radio network, i.e. via the GSM radio network (D network), the E network or the future F network.
  • D network GSM radio network
  • the respective radio parcel from which the emergency call is made is recognized by the radio network, so that first a rough location is given.
  • the emergency call becomes one from the radio network receiver
  • Emergency call center responsible for the respective network parcel e.g. the police, mountain rescue service etc. forwarded. This then takes over the fine location of the emergency caller using radio direction finding.
  • the transmit power of the transmitter is only a range of a few kilometers must be overcome in order to offer almost global protection.
  • quartz-controlled movement Space so that it is not immediately recognizable as an emergency transmitter. It also ensures that the energy source (battery or accumulator) is constantly in operation and recognized in time when recharging or battery replacement is required.
  • the person in need of help can press the emergency call by pressing a release button to be triggered.
  • the emergency call contains a coded identifier that identifies the emergency call as such makes identifiable, and provides information about the person of the emergency caller. Combined with The identifier can then be used in addition to the local helpers, e.g. via an emergency call center, other persons are automatically notified, which the emergency caller has previously determined and their phone numbers are then retrieved from a memory.
  • the bearing signal can be located using a scanner. This gives when receiving the Beilsignal an acoustic alarm signal from, and in intervals that are getting shorter stronger the bearing signal is received.
  • a distance estimate can be made by a processor made and shown on a display.
  • the digital radio network must have a device in a known manner through which an emergency call can be recognized as such and which records the data from which it emerges in which radio parcel the emergency call was sent from.
  • the transmitter can be powered by additional supply cells in the links of the bracelet are supported.
  • the watch case or watch band can also be used Be equipped with solar cells that take over all or part of the energy supply. This serves to fill up the batteries by irradiation with light, so that the state of charge can be kept approximately constant.
  • An additional capacity display can provide information give about the state of charge of the battery.
  • the alarm is triggered by a trigger switch.
  • a trigger switch With a transmitter in the form of a Common pagers are triggered by a switch, the operation of which is only clear and way can take place and which is protected against accidental actuation. This is because of it ensures that the switch requires pushing a button behind the Surface of the device springs back, which is relatively high for actuation Offers resistance and is also protected by a plastic cap, which is in front of the Operation must be opened or removed in a simple manner.
  • the Plastic cap should be strong enough to absorb a shock that would otherwise be an actuation of the Switch could cause.
  • the transmitter in the clockwork is preferably operated by a trigger, which is in the closure of the Bracelet is housed.
  • the actuation simultaneously closes the bracelet clasp in in a way that this can only be done by force and by breaking the links of the bracelet is to be solved again.
  • the electrical connection to the electronics in the watch is made by a Conductor in the individual links of the watch band.
  • the leader is through one insulated and waterproof connection protected.
  • the transmission of the emergency signal and later the direction-finding signal can only be done by destroying the Transmitter are stopped.
  • the transmitter must therefore also be waterproof and shockproof and must not be impaired by simple destruction measures.
  • the emergency call signal should receive a format specified in accordance with the GSM standard and on a GSM frequency are sent, which the GSM network provides for the signaling channel.
  • the bearing signal must have a frequency just above or below the usual GSM frequency, because the bandwidth of the transmitter is limited and only one frequency is available per se. It can receive an individual modulation to prevent malfunction or confusion about the Avoid senders reliably.
  • This DF signal is broadcast until the energy reserves of the transmitter are used up are.
  • the transmitter can also have a standby display that the emergency caller provides information about whether there is a radio connection to a radio parcel or not. For this purpose, it receives the ready signals continuously transmitted by the radio network.
  • the Reception sensitivity of this ready indicator is adjusted so that it has a reception the ready signals depending on the transmission power of the transmitter of the emergency system displays. It expires if the radio parcel is too far away from the receiver is bridged.
  • the network center is connected to the individual radio parcels of a GSM network.
  • To the Network center is coupled to a system unit that constantly on the signaling channel incoming emergency signals monitored.
  • the recognized emergency signal is first examined for the individual identifier. Subsequently the necessary alarms are triggered and those retrieved from a memory Addressees notified. If such a call is answered, the call in question hears Person has a voice prompt asking them to acknowledge the emergency call, i.e. the Call the emergency call center and confirm that you received the emergency call the voice prompt, the emergency call identifier and the radio parcel from which the emergency call is received to provide a rough localization of the emergency call.
  • the Notification calls stopped.
  • the calls can be notified to everyone in parallel People.

  • a Pager system are used, which is able to alphanumeric information .to edit. The relevant information is shown on the pager display.
  • the pager also acoustically alerts the addressee via the emergency call.
  • An acknowledgment of the Emergency calls can also be made via telephone if the emergency call message is made via a pager took place.
  • the emergency call is acknowledged by telephone in DTMF format. It is about a code that is just as unique as that of the emergency call ID, only for those people that are intended for a notification call. The person who the Has sent the emergency call, must not know the code. This alone ensures that the emergency call is not can be acknowledged under duress, which would stop the notification calls.
  • the emergency transmitter After the emergency call transmission on the DCCH control channel in the GSM network, the associated Radio parcel determined by the "Stand-Alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH)".
  • SDCCH Stand-Alone Dedicated Control Channel
  • the emergency transmitter already sends the direction-finding signal, that is, with a direction-finding device can be located more precisely.
