Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe eines Notrufs, umfassend eine mobile Kommunikationseinheit, eine Positionserfassungseinrichtung und einen manuell betätigbaren Alarmschalter.The invention relates to a method and a device for dispensing a Emergency calls, comprising a mobile communication unit, a Position detection device and a manually operated alarm switch.
Eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist
aus EP-A-0 846 440 bekannt.An apparatus according to the preamble of
Derartige Vorrichtungen sind in jüngster Zeit für die verschiedensten Anwendungsgebiete bekannt geworden. Wesentlich begünstigt werden diese Entwicklungen durch sehr kleine und preisgünstige GPS-Empfänger, die eine verhältnismäßig genaue Lokalisierung ermöglichen. Dieser GPS-Empfänger wird dazu zusammen mit einer GSM-Einheit, die im Falle einer aufgrund der Umgebung bzw. Witterung erfolgenden Abschattung des GPS-Signals die Ortung übernimmt, in einem Mobilfunktelefon integriert, über das im Notfall eine Alarmmeldung mit einer Positionsangabe an eine Zentrale gesendet wird. Dazu wird eine Notrufnummer gespeichert und einer bestimmten Notruftaste zugeordnet. Durch Betätigung dieser Notruftaste wird die Notrufnummer automatisch gewählt und die Positionsangabe an die Zentrale weitergeleitet. Je nach Anwendungsfall wird dann eine Kommunikationsverbindung aufgebaut oder aber die Zentrale leitet Einsatzkommandos wie Polizei oder Feuerwehr zum Ort des Notrufs. Bei einigen Anwendungsfällen, wie beispielsweise Seglern in Seenot ist die Betätigung der Notruftaste unkritisch, da diese meist körperlich noch wohlauf sind. Bei Personen mit einem hohen Gesundheitsrisiko wie Herzinfarktpatienten oder Schlaganfallpatienten können diese im Notfall derart von einem Anfall überrascht werden, daß diese keine Zeit mehr haben, einen Notruf abzusetzen.Such devices have recently been used for a wide variety of purposes Areas of application become known. These are significantly favored Developments through very small and inexpensive GPS receivers, the one enable relatively accurate localization. This GPS receiver is used together with a GSM unit, which in the case of a due to the Environment or weather shading of the GPS signal Locating takes over, integrated in a mobile phone, via the one in an emergency Alarm message with a position information is sent to a control center. To an emergency number is saved and a specific emergency button assigned. By pressing this emergency button, the emergency number becomes automatically selected and the position information forwarded to the head office. ever depending on the application, a communication connection is then established or the head office directs commandos such as the police or fire brigade to the location of the emergency call. In some use cases, such as Sailors in distress are not critical to the actuation of the emergency button, since this is usually are still physically well. For people with a high health risk such as heart attack patients or stroke patients can do this in an emergency are so surprised by a seizure that they have no more time make an emergency call.
Der Erfindung liegt daher das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Abgabe eines Notrufs zu schaffen, mittels derer auch Personen mit einer starken gesundheitlichen und/oder körperlichen Beeinträchtigung sicher und zuverlässig einen Notruf absetzen können.The invention is therefore based on the technical problem, a method and to create a device for making an emergency call, by means of which also People with a strong health and / or physical Can safely and reliably place an emergency call.
Die Lösung des Problems ergibt sich durch die Merkmale der Patentansprüche
1 und 7. Dabei ist der Notrufvorrichtung ein Sensor zugeordnet, der bestimmte
Körperfunktionen erfaßt und die erfaßten Daten mit in einem Speicher
abgelegten Referenzdaten vergleicht. Die Daten werden in einer
Diagnoseeinheit miteinander verglichen und bei abnormen Abweichungen wird
automatisch ein entsprechender Norruf abgesetzt. Dies ermöglicht
insbesondere Personen mit einem hohen Gesundheitsrisiko, die jederzeit mit
einem ohne schnelle Hilfeleistung für sie lebensgefährlichen Anfall rechnen
müssen, eine erhöhte Mobilität, da diese auch ohne Begleitung beispielsweise
Spaziergänge oder ähnliches unternehmen können. Die Notrufvorrichtung ist
des weiteren für die häusliche Nachsorge nach Operationen oder für ein
betreutes Wohnen von gebrechlichen Menschen geeignet. Weitere vorteilhafte
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The solution to the problem results from the features of the
Der Sensor zur Erfassung von Körperfunktionen ist vorzugsweise als Lage-, Temperatur-, Puls-, Blutdruck-, Blutzucker-, Blutsauerstoffkonzentrations- und /oder Schweißsensor ausgebildet. Diese Sensoren sind bereits teilweise von Jogging- oder Fahrradcomputern bekannt, wo diese in Form eines Armbandes um das Handgelenk angelegt werden. Ein Schweißsensor läßt sich z.B. durch eine Messung des elektrischen Hautwiderstandes realisieren. Nichtinvasive Blutzuckersensoren auf optischer Basis sind bereits in der Erprobung, weisen jedoch für quantitative Messungen noch einige Probleme auf. Daher kann im Notfall auch auf die bekannten invasiven Sensoren zurückgegriffen werden. Ähnliches gilt für die Blutsauerstoffkonzentrations-Sensoren. Des weiteren können auch online EKG/EEG-Sensoren zur Anwendung kommen. Durch Kombination dieser Sensoren lassen sich bereits sehr viele verschiedene gesundheitlich bedenkliche Situationen erfassen.The sensor for detecting body functions is preferably a position, Temperature, pulse, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen concentration and / or welding sensor formed. These sensors are already partially from Jogging or bicycle computers are known, where they are in the form of a bracelet around the wrist. A welding sensor can e.g. by realize a measurement of the electrical skin resistance. Noninvasive Blood sugar sensors on an optical basis are already being tested however, some problems still arise for quantitative measurements. Therefore, in In an emergency, the well-known invasive sensors can also be used. The same applies to the blood oxygen concentration sensors. Furthermore ECG / EEG sensors can also be used online. By Combination of these sensors can already be very many different Record health-threatening situations.
Zur Erhöhung des Komfort und damit der Akzeptanz wird der Sensor als separate Einheit ausgebildet, die dann drahtlos, beispielsweise per Infrarot mit der Kommunikationseinheit kommunizieren kann.To increase comfort and thus acceptance, the sensor is used as separate unit, which is then wireless, for example by infrared the communication unit can communicate.
Um die Kommunikationsverbindung auch aufbauen zu können, falls die Kommunikationseinheit sich nicht unmittelbar bei der Person befindet, beispielsweise weil diese die Kommunikationseinheit bei einem Sturz verloren hat, ist die Empfindlichkeit von Mikrofon und Lautsprecher veränderbar.In order to be able to establish the communication connection if the Communication unit is not directly with the person, for example because they lost the communication unit in the event of a fall the sensitivity of the microphone and loudspeaker can be changed.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt ein schematisches Blockschaltbild einer Notrufvorrichtung.The invention is described below on the basis of a preferred one Embodiment explained in more detail. The only figure shows a schematic Block diagram of an emergency call device.
Die Notrufvorrichtung 1 umfaßt eine mobile Kommunikationseinheit 2, mit
mindestens einem Sensor 3 zur Erfassung von Körperfunktionen, einen
Speicher 4 mit Referenzdaten für die Körperfunktionen, eine Diagnoseeinheit 5,
eine Sprach-Ein- und Ausgabeeinheit 6, eine Positionserfassungseinheit 7,
einen Controller 8 und ein Interface 9.The
Die Notrufeinrichtung 1 wird individuell auf eine Person eingestellt. Hierzu
werden vorab von der Person Gesundheitsdaten von einem Arzt erstellt und in
dem Speicher 4 abgelegt. Dies können beispielsweise EKG-, Blutdruck- und
Pulsdaten sein. Der Sensor 3, der vorzugsweise als Armband ausgebildet ist,
erfaßt die zu den Referenzdaten entsprechenden aktuellen Gesundheitsdaten.
Die durch den Sensor 3 erfaßten Daten werden in der Diagnoseeinheit 5 mit
den Referenzdaten im Speicher 4 verglichen. Da aufgrund klimatischer
Bedingungen oder körperlicher Anstrengungen die Meßdaten schwanken, muß
dies in der Diagnoseeinheit 5 durch entsprechende Schwellenwerte
berücksichtigt werden. Überschreitet jedoch die Differenz zwischen der
erfaßten Daten und den Referenzdaten den oder die vorgegebenen
Schwellenwerte, so kann auf einen akuten Notfall geschlossen und Alarm
ausgelöst werden. Dazu werden dann die erfaßten Daten des Sensors 3 mit
den aktuellen Positionsdaten der Positionserfassungseinheit 7 im Controller 8
aufbereitet und über das Interface 9 an die Kommunikationseinheit 2
übertragen, von wo diese an eine Zentrale übermittelt werden. Mit der
Übermittlung an die Zentrale wird zwischen dieser und der
Kommunikationseinheit 2 eine Kommunikationsverbindung aufgebaut. Über
diese kann die Zentrale die in Not geratene Person nach weiteren Einzelheiten
wie Befinden oder Aufenthaltsort befragen und die Person kann antworten. Die
über die Sprach-Ein- und Ausgabeeinheit 6 eingegebenen akustischen Signale
werden dazu im Controller 8 mit den anderen Daten gemischt und gemeinsam
übertragen. Da die Kommunikationseinheit 2 vorzugsweise als handelsübliches
Mobilfunktelefon ausgebildet ist, können das vorhandene Mikrofon und der
Lautsprecher genutzt werden. Da jedoch nicht immer bei einem Unfall oder
Anfall gewährleistet ist, daß die Person das Mobilfunktelefon in unmittelbarer
Reichweite hat, kann eine separate Sprach-Ein- und Ausgabeeinheit 6
vorgesehen sein, die wie der Sensor 3 unmittelbar an der Person angeordnet
ist. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die Empfindlichkeit des Mikrofons
und des Lautsprechers zu erhöhen. Im einfachsten Fall geschieht dies
automatisch bei jeder Alarmauslösung. Da dies jedoch eine normale
Sprachübermittlung stören würde, wird die Empfindlichkeit vorzugsweise nur
situationsbedingt verändert. Hierzu wiederum bieten sich zwei Möglichkeiten
an. Entweder sendet die Zentrale ein die Empfindlichkeit veränderndes
Steuersignal, falls keine akustischen Signale empfangen werden, oder aber
das Mikrofon regelt sich selbst hoch, falls keine akustischen Signale
aufgenommen werden. Dadurch kann, falls die Person nicht bewußtlos ist, ein
Sprechkontakt aufrechterhalten werden, auch wenn die Kommunikationseinheit
2 sich nicht unmittelbar bei der Person befindet. Des weitern kann die
Empfindlichkeit des Mikrofons derart erhöht werden, daß das Mikrofon wie ein
Stethoskop beispielsweise Herztöne erfaßt.The
Die Sensoren 3 zur Erfassung der Körperfunktionen sind vorzugsweise als
nichtinvasive Sensoren 3 ausgebildet, was für die zu überwachende Person
angenehmer ist. Dabei kommen vorzugsweise Druck-, Temperatur- und
Lagesensoren, die als Unfall-Sensoren arbeiten, der Mikrosystemtechnik zur
Anwendung. Zur Erfassung der Schweißabsonderung können neuartige
chemische Sensoren oder Hautwiderstandsmessungen zum Einsatz kommen.
Speziell für Diabetes-Patienten kann jedoch auch ein invasiver Sensor
verwendet werden, der insbesondere bei einem Notfall die
Blutzuckerkonzentration mißt und an die Zentrale überträgt, so daß diese
bereits die entsprechenden Vorbereitungen treffen kann. Welche Sensoren 3
zum Einsatz kommen bzw. welche Körperfunktionen erfaßt werden, ist dabei
stets individuell an die jeweiligen Risikofaktoren der Person anzupassen. The
Die Positionserfassungseinrichtung 7 ist vorzugsweise als GPS-Empfänger,
GSM-Einheit bzw. auf Basis nachfolgender Mobilfunk-Standards und/oder als
Peilsender ausgebildet. Die Positionserfassungseinheit 7 erfaßt periodisch die
aktuelle Position der Person, die dann kontinuierlich in einen Speicher
geschrieben und temporär gespeichert wird. Ist der Speicher voll, so werden
sukszessive die ersten Positionsangaben überschrieben. Dazu kann der
Speicher beispielsweise als Schieberegister ausgebildet sein. Alternativ kann
auch ein RAM-Baustein zur Anwendung kommen, dessen selektierte Adresse
kontinuierlich durch einen Zähler erhöht und bei Erreichen der letzten Adresse
der Zähler erneut gestartet wird. Im Notfall wird dann der Speicherinhalt von
der Kommunikationseinheit 2 an die Zentrale gesendet wird, so daß bei
Ortungsschwierigkeiten im Notfall der zurückgelegte Weg rekonstruierbar ist.
Zur Sicherheit kann der Speicherinhalt auch periodisch an die Zentrale
gesendet werden, um bei einer Zerstörung der Vorrichtung oder anderen
technischen Problemen Anhaltspunkte für den letzten Aufenthalt der Person zu
haben. Gegebenenfalls können mit der periodisch gesendeten Positionsangabe
auch die jeweils aktuell ermittelten Körperfunktionsdaten mitübertragen werden.
Nach Absezuzng des Notrufs wird dann vorzugsweise der Peilsender aktiviert,
um so den Rettungsmannschaften eine weitere Lokalisierungshilfe zur
Verfügung zu stellen.The
Wie bereits ausgeführt, können der Sensor 3 und andere Komponenten als
baulich separate Einheit zur Kommunikationseinheit 2 ausgebildet sein. In
diesen Fällen findet vorzugsweise eine drahtlose Datenübertragung zum
Controller 8 oder zum Interface 9 statt. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels
Infrarot- oder HF-Übertragungen realisiert werden.As already stated, the
Der Speicher 4 für die Referenzdaten ist vorzugsweise als E- oder EE-PROM
mit Sockel ausgebildet. Dies ermöglicht einerseits die Anpassung der
Referenzdaten, falls diese sich im Laufe der Zeit verändern und andererseits
die Nutzung der Notrufvorrichtung 1 durch verschiedene Personen, wobei dann
einfach die Speicher 4 ausgetauscht werden.The
