Definitions

  • 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.
  • GPS receivers 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the emergency call device is assigned a sensor that determined Body functions recorded and the recorded data with in a memory stored reference data is compared.
  • the data is in a Diagnostic unit compared with each other and in the event of abnormal deviations a corresponding emergency call is automatically made. This makes possible especially people with a high health risk who are with at all times a life-threatening seizure without quick help for them increased mobility, as this is possible even without an escort, for example Can go for walks or the like.
  • the emergency call device is further for aftercare after surgery or for a assisted living for frail people. More beneficial Embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.
  • 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.
  • ECG / EEG sensors can also be used online. By Combination of these sensors can already be very many different Record health-threatening situations.
  • the senor is used as separate unit, which is then wireless, for example by infrared the communication unit can communicate.
  • the sensitivity of the microphone and loudspeaker can be changed.
  • the emergency call device 1 comprises a mobile communication unit 2, with at least one sensor 3 for detecting body functions, one Memory 4 with reference data for body functions, a diagnostic unit 5, a voice input and output unit 6, a position detection unit 7, a controller 8 and an interface 9.
  • the emergency call device 1 is set individually for one person.
  • the person's health data is created in advance by a doctor and in the memory 4 filed. This can for example EKG, blood pressure and Pulse data.
  • the data recorded by the sensor 3 are included in the diagnostic unit 5 compared to the reference data in the memory 4. Because due to climatic Conditions or physical exertion the measured data must fluctuate this in the diagnostic unit 5 by means of corresponding threshold values be taken into account. However, the difference between the recorded data and the reference data or the predetermined Thresholds, such as an acute emergency and alarm to be triggered.
  • the acquired data from sensor 3 are then included the current position data of the position detection unit 7 in the controller 8 processed and via the interface 9 to the communication unit 2 transmitted from where these are transmitted to a central office.
  • the Transmission to the headquarters is between this and the Communication unit 2 established a communication connection.
  • about the head office can provide the person in need with further details such as state of being or location and the person can answer.
  • the acoustic signals input via the voice input and output unit 6 are mixed in the controller 8 with the other data and together transfer. Since the communication unit 2 is preferably a commercially available one Mobile phone is designed, the existing microphone and Speakers are used.
  • a separate voice input and output unit 6 be provided, which, like the sensor 3, is arranged directly on the person is.
  • Another option is the sensitivity of the microphone and raise the speaker. In the simplest case, this happens automatically every time an alarm is triggered. However, since this is a normal one would disrupt voice transmission, the sensitivity is preferably only changed depending on the situation. There are two options for this on. Either the control center sends a change in sensitivity Control signal if no acoustic signals are received, or else the microphone regulates itself up if there are no acoustic signals be included.
  • the Sensitivity of the microphone can be increased so that the microphone like a For example, a stethoscope detects heart sounds.
  • the sensors 3 for detecting the body functions are preferably as formed non-invasive sensors 3, which for the person to be monitored is more pleasant. Pressure, temperature and Position sensors that work as accident sensors for microsystem technology Application. Novel types can be used to record sweating chemical sensors or skin resistance measurements are used. However, an invasive sensor can also be used especially for diabetes patients can be used, especially in an emergency Measures blood sugar concentration and transmits it to the control center, so that this can already make the appropriate preparations. Which sensors 3 are used or which bodily functions are recorded is included always adapt individually to the respective risk factors of the person.
  • the position detection device 7 is preferably a GPS receiver, GSM unit or based on the following mobile radio standards and / or as DF transmitter trained.
  • the position detection unit 7 periodically detects the current position of the person, which is then continuously in a memory is written and temporarily saved. If the memory is full, then successively overwrites the first position information.
  • the Memory can be designed for example as a shift register. Alternatively, you can a RAM block is also used, its selected address continuously increased by a counter and when the last address is reached the counter is started again. In an emergency, the memory content of the communication unit 2 is sent to the center, so that at Location difficulties in an emergency the route covered can be reconstructed.
  • the memory content can also be sent to the control center periodically be sent to in the event of device destruction or other technical problems are indications of the person's last stay to have. If necessary, with the periodically sent position information the currently determined body function data are also transmitted. After the emergency call is removed, the direction finder is then preferably activated, to provide rescue teams with additional localization assistance To make available.
  • the senor 3 and other components can be used as structurally separate unit to the communication unit 2 be formed.
  • wireless data transmission preferably takes place Controller 8 or to interface 9 instead. This can be done using, for example Infrared or HF transmissions can be realized.
  • the memory 4 for the reference data is preferably an E- or EE-PROM trained with base. On the one hand, this enables the adjustment of the Reference data if it changes over time and on the other hand the use of the emergency call device 1 by different people, then simply replace the memory 4.
