Definitions

  • the invention relates to an emergency lighting system in a building with a large number of lights, in particular safety or escape sign lights, a monitoring device and / or a battery system or the like.
  • Such emergency lighting systems are known from practice and are arranged in particular in publicly accessible buildings.
  • the corresponding safety or escape sign lights have a pictogram that specifies an escape route direction for an emergency.
  • the corresponding pictogram is sometimes difficult to see or read, for example when smoke or the like occurs, so that a corresponding person within the building may not be able to recognize the direction of the escape route.
  • many of the well-known emergency or escape sign lights are not modifiable; H. they can only display a certain escape route direction and cannot be used for other escape route directions.
  • safety or escape sign lights are known that can be varied by additional devices, for example in their escape route line. However, it also applies to such variable safety or escape sign lights that they are poorly visible, for example when smoke or the like occurs.
  • the corresponding lights are usually arranged in the upper areas of the corresponding rooms on walls or ceilings, so that they are not directly visible at eye level to a corresponding person or even in the lower areas of the rooms.
  • JP 2008/2256630 describes an evacuation guidance method or system with a receiving device, a transmitting device and other devices.
  • Evacuation guidance method or system cannot be compared with an emergency lighting system which is designed in a building with a large number of safety or escape sign lights.
  • Such emergency lighting systems are characterized by a number of specific features, such as switching to battery operation if an external main supply of the emergency lighting system fails. In such a case, too, it must be possible to supply the transmission points of the emergency lighting system and it must be possible to transmit the relevant data to the receiving devices.
  • a plurality of transmission points is also provided in order to be able to be in a corresponding communication link with at least two transmission points.
  • DE 10 2006 014 012 describes a safety device for delimiting an emergency zone. None is disclosed about safety or escape sign lights, a battery system or about the transmission points assigned to the safety or escape sign lights. Instead, a corresponding transmitter is assigned to a door or to the end of an escape route. It should be necessary to follow a sound signal emitted by the transmitting station to find the corresponding door or the end of the escape route.
  • US 2006/226970 A1 describes an evacuation system in which different data is stored on a so-called RFID tag.
  • First data relate to evacuation data that is transmitted through wireless communication
  • second data relate to evaluation data that is received through wireless communication.
  • the wireless communication takes place between a mobile device and a server or the RFID tag, for example on an escape route indicator light.
  • the present invention is based on the object of being able to adapt the existing emergency lighting system and in particular safety or escape sign lights in a simple manner to different escape routes, without the corresponding lights failing in the event of smoke or the like for an escape route and the corresponding safety-related information or variations of the Escape route can still be transmitted to the person at least within the building.
  • the emergency lighting system additionally has a plurality of points, so-called beacons, for wireless communication with a receiving device of a person inside the building, in particular for guiding or changing escape routes.
  • the corresponding Sending stations can in particular also be used independently of other parts of the emergency lighting system and transmit information directly to a person receiving device. This information can also be transmitted to the receiving device if there is poor visibility of the safety or escape sign lights or if such lights are not visible.
  • the receiving device is always located near the person and is usually carried by them.
  • the wireless communication is used in particular to provide the relevant person with information relevant to security in an alternative manner.
  • each transmission point is preferably designed as a so-called Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) unit.
  • BLE Bluetooth Low Energy
  • a corresponding communication option can be implemented in a wide variety of receiving devices.
  • Another possibility of wireless communication is the use of light waves.
  • the lighting means present in the emergency lighting system such as LEDs in particular, are controlled in such a way that they emit light pulses in a specific manner, which are interpreted as data by the corresponding receiving device.
  • an LED controller is usually used to control the power supply to the LEDs. This is done in particular because the current strength controls the brightness of the LEDs. Rapid changes in the current result in rapid changes in the light signal, the corresponding information being encoded in these changes.
  • Such a use of light is known, for example, from so-called "visible light communication".
  • the use of the modulated light signal does not affect any other radio standards and is uni and / or bidirectional.
  • corresponding devices can be used that are already present in a mobile radio device, such as a camera.
  • This optical communication can be implemented on the part of the receiving device without additional hardware and, for example, by updating the operating software or an app.
  • the corresponding illuminants are, for example, the LEDs already present in a luminaire, in particular a safety or escape sign luminaire. These LEDs for optical communication can be controlled using additional software, as the corresponding hardware is already available in the luminaires. Of course, there is also the option of using additional LEDs in the area of the emergency lighting system for this optical communication.
  • a corresponding distance for using this optical communication is usually 6 to 10 m, although shielding can usually be done relatively easily. In particular, if visibility inside the building is poor due to smoke or the like, optical communication may no longer be possible or no longer secure. It is also conceivable to set up communication by means of light and also by means of BLE units.
  • the relevant transmission point is intended to transmit safety-relevant information to the person in question, who is connected to the escape route, for example, it is also advantageous if the transmission point is assigned to one or more safety or escape sign lights or is located in such a light.
  • the corresponding transmission point is very small, especially with BLE units, and can easily be retrofitted. It is of course also possible for corresponding transmission points to be assigned to other units of the emergency lighting system or to be arranged in them. In addition, the transmission points can be distributed in the corresponding building without direct assignment to parts of the emergency lighting system, such as safety or escape sign lights.
  • a corresponding wireless communication is established between a transmitting station and a receiving device.
  • the wireless communication is set up from a transmitting point to a plurality of receiving devices or also from a plurality of transmitting points to a receiving device.

Further information is also possible.
  • corresponding text messages are displayed not only in one fixed language, but in several languages.
  • voice messages are also possible by the receiving device on the basis of the information received from the sending point, and these can also be reproduced in different languages. Further possibilities for signaling with regard to the information received can be seen in the fact that, for example, the receiving device vibrates, a display device of the receiving device flashes or the like.
  • Such receiving devices are, for example, a mobile radio device, a tablet, a pager, a mobile display device, an intelligent watch or the like. Depending on the capabilities of the receiving device, the information received from the radio station is displayed accordingly.
  • the transmitting station can identify and / or localize the receiving device.
  • This corresponding information can be used by the radio station, for example, to determine the number of people present within the building, to transmit corresponding information to rescue personnel and the like.
  • Localization can also take place, for example, when two, three or more transmitting points are in communication with the receiving device. That is, the position of the receiving device can be determined by triangulation, for example. It is also possible to determine the transmitting point to which the receiving device is closest, in the vicinity of which escape route the receiving device is located, and the like.
  • the transmitting station or also the monitoring device transmits information about at least the number and / or position of the receiving devices to a central or external monitoring device and / or an emergency call device. Such information can be transmitted directly from the transmitting station. It is also conceivable that the transmitting station first transmits this information to the monitoring device and this information is then passed on by the latter.
  • this can also have smoke alarm devices, fire alarm devices, gas alarm devices, sensors and the like. Corresponding signals from these devices can be used to change a primary escape route specified by the safety or escape sign lights and to transmit the corresponding information on the escape route change from the transmitting points directly to the receiving devices.
