Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system and a method for monitoring persons and reporting so-called dead man's or similar failure events.
  • it refers to the monitoring of several individual operators located in multiple, remote locations, with the safety of the personnel being monitored by a common control body.
  • Alarm systems are known in which the vital signs are monitored by volunteers.
  • An employee working in a dangerous environment for example, is equipped with a reporting device, which triggers an alarm signal in case of deviations from the normal vital signs or environmental conditions of the employee.
  • the invention provides a back-end server according to claim 1, a mobile device according to claim 2 and a method according to claim 8. Thanks to the multi-level, graduated course of monitoring in the case of deviations in the physical or environmental conditions of the monitored person, it is possible to deal with all extraordinary circumstances. In this case, messages that may not justify a triggering of the alarm signal, may be subjected in advance by two preliminary dead man request levels.
  • the system is much more reliable and less prone to false alarms than known alarm systems, as the Specificity and sensitivity can be optimized in the detection of real incidents.
  • a task force is any person who is in a situation where he has no immediate access to emergency or rescue services. Examples may include, for example, construction or subsistence workers in a power plant or pit, mountain hikers, aircraft personnel, bus drivers or divers. An operator may typically be one of many who are in different locations. The automated monitoring of such a scattered number of people where each individual has different internal (physical) and external (environmental) conditions is complex.
  • a monitoring system 1 which has a backend server 2.
  • the back-end server 2 is in communication (10-15) with a portable mobile device 3 such as a smartwatch, as well as the communication device 4 a control point and an alarm trigger 5.
  • the communication between the back-end server 2 and the remote devices 3 and 4 can for example, via wireless connections such as WiFi, Bluetooth ®, mobile network, etc..
  • the measurement data may also include location information such as GPS coordinates of the mobile device. Regardless of whether they interpret an incident or not, the measurement data are still transmitted to the backend server 2, where they are stored and evaluated. Recognizes the server 2 a deviation or an extraordinary state (measurement data outside a first target range) from the received data, the server can send a first request signal 11 to the mobile device 3.
  • the request signal 11 may include, for example, a push message on a smartwatch, a smartphone in the form of an SMS, an e-mail or an automatic telephone call.
  • a first response signal 12 can be sent to the back-end server, eg automatically or with the intervention of the person wearing the smartwatch.
  • the response signal 12 may include, for example, an input on the smartwatch or the smartphone.
  • the communication 10, 11, 12 between mobile device 3 (also called frontend) and backend server 2 is preferably via the Internet, encrypted.
  • the connection of front and backend 2 can take place via a wireless technology such as WLAN and / or a mobile telephone network (GSM).
  • GSM mobile telephone network
  • the server 2 can recognize from the response signal 12 that the said deviation or the extraordinary state is again in a normal range (target range), or that the deviation does not justify further intervention steps, then no further special steps take place; the back-end server 2 returns to a normal monitoring mode. If, on the other hand, the backend server 2 does not receive a satisfactory response signal, it enters a first alarm level mode in which it sends a second request signal 13 to the control point 4.
  • the control point 4 may be, for example, the regular PC or a smartphone or a smartwatch of the person responsible for the safety of a plurality of users.
  • the second request signal 13 can, for example include a push message, an SMS, an e-mail, or an automatic phone call.
  • the second all-clear signal 14, from the checkpoint 4, or the first all-clear signal 12 from the mobile device 3, can be sent to the back-end server 2.
  • the back-end server 2 waits for either of the two all-clear signals 12 or 14 and automatically reverts to normal mode as soon as it receives one of the two signals.
  • the alarm trigger 5 may be e.g. establish an automated connection to an emergency service or initiate a pre-defined action on the ground.
  • Measurement data can be obtained, for example, from sensors of the mobile device 3.
  • data from separate remote sensors can be received in the environment on the mobile device, for example via Bluetooth®, infrared, WLAN, etc.
  • the measurement data can be continuously transmitted to the backend server 2 10, where she temporarily can be stored.
  • the stored measurement data can be used to automatically detect patterns and trends in the data. The occurrence of certain patterns or trends that are outside of a desired range can also be taken as the basis for a request or alarm signal.
  • the stored data may include personal medical information. For privacy reasons, they can preferably be deleted, eg at the end of a work shift without incident. However, if there is a medical emergency, the stored data can possibly be handed over to the emergency service.
  • the back-end server has a first communication unit 6 1 for communicating with the mobile device 3, a second communication unit 6 2 for communicating with the control point 4, and a third communication unit 6 3 for triggering 15 the alarm 5.
  • a control unit 8 assumes certain tasks of the backend server, such as the evaluation of the measured data, received by the mobile device 3.
  • Memory 7 is used to store the received measurement data to evaluate them according to predetermined algorithms and knowledge rules (knowledge database).
  • FIG. 3 shows in a first embodiment, the automated flow 100 of a method according to the invention, which can be implemented, for example, in the back-end server 2 as a software algorithm.
  • a first step 110 measured values are received and evaluated by the mobile device (eg smartwatch). If the measured values lie within the nominal range ("normal"), this step is repeated with every new input of measured values.
  • the second step 130 is initiated by a first request signal, also called warning message is sent to the mobile device. Subsequently, an answering warning signal is awaited.
  • a first request signal also called warning message
  • an answering warning signal is awaited.
  • the alarm status and / or the reason for it is displayed on the display of the mobile device.
  • the all-clear signal can be triggered by the user himself, for example by means of a corresponding input or a graphic interaction with the user interface of the mobile device, an SMS, e-mail or by means of a telephone call to a central office.
  • the back-end server After receiving the first all-clear signal, eg within a predetermined waiting time, the back-end server returns to its normal position 110. If the all-clear signal does not arrive during the waiting period, the system enters a second alarm state 150 by the back-end server sending a second request signal to the checkpoint. Measures are taken at the control point, eg automatically (for example, by a general or local alarm signal of an internal operational alarm) or manually (an employee tries to contact the operator or tries to reach it) to communicate with the operator to create. If the employee or the inspection body succeeds in establishing a connection to the person in charge, the reason for the measured value outside of the target range or for the missing first all-clear signal is determined.
  • the second all-clear signal may be on the mobile device, for example or created by the inspection body.
  • the second all-clear signal can be triggered by the user himself, for example by means of a corresponding input or a graphical interaction with the user interface of the mobile device, an SMS, e-mail or by means of a telephone call to a control center.
  • the mobile device may be programmed with an app that always runs in foreground mode, with the operator being able to keep up-to-date with the current state of the measurements and / or alarm status, manually triggering the alerts to the backend server, if necessary and / or can cancel.
  • the backend server Upon receiving the second clear signal, e.g. Within a predetermined second waiting time, the backend server returns to its normal position 110. If the all-clear signal does not arrive during the wait, the system enters a third alarm state 170, in which the back-end server reports urgent emergency status, and e.g. Provides an emergency service and / or triggers a general alarm.
  • FIG. 4 shows a further variant of a method according to the invention 101.
  • the second and / or third alarm stage 150, 170 can be reached directly, if necessary, if the measured values indicate a serious condition 112 or a critical condition 111 of the subject. If the measurements justify it, the first and / or the second request-all-clear cycle is omitted, so that the appropriate alarm status can be triggered directly.
  • FIG. 5 shows an initialization or calibration phase 102 of the system 1, which can be performed, for example, at the beginning of a working shift to the evaluation of the measurement data of several individual Adapting volunteers.
  • measurement data body movement or orientation, blood pressure, heart rate, CO 2 in the blood, blood O 2 measurement, blood glucose measurement, urea measurement, ambient CO 2 measurement, ambient CO measurement, etc.
  • control parameters can be, for example, that the subject is in a dormant state at the time of the measurement, that he wears the watch slightly loose on his right wrist, or that he is standing up.
  • the measurement data and control parameters can then be used, for example in the backend server, to calculate the first and second target ranges. In this way, the desired ranges of measurement data are adjusted to the current physical and environmental conditions of the subject on that day.
  • the control point 4 may be equipped with e.g. Browser-based interface are provided, which prepares the monitoring employee a visual overview of the current and / or historical states of several employees.
  • the interface can also be configured in such a way that certain measured values or constellations of measured values which indicate a possible incident situation are displayed graphically, although the corresponding measured values are actually still within the normal range.
  • the system is preferably configured so that sensors or sensor types can be connected modularly. For example, if the mobile device is connected to a new external sensor, such as a smoke detector, then a corresponding set of knowledge rules may have the expected behavior or define evasive behavior of the detector to be loaded in the backend server.
  • a new external sensor such as a smoke detector
  • the modular system can be used even if the monitored persons are very different and are in very different environments.
  • the measurement data obtained by the mobile device 3 and stored in the backend server 2 may be of a variety of types, e.g. physical movements of the person, biometric measurements, vital signs, environmental measurements, geoposition data, as well as other data, which are determined by any sensor.
  • the extracted data of a user form a profile of the user and may be used for additional or alternative purposes e.g. work, such as sports, hobby, lifestyle, communication, etc.
  • the back-end server may be e.g. an identification unit, by means of which the person and / or their environment can be clearly identified to their data or profile. Thus, an authentication of the person and / or their environment can take place.
  • the identification unit can check, based on the measurement data transmitted by the mobile device 3, whether the person and / or the restricted area are really those who the mobile device carrier 3 claims.
  • This type of authentication finds application in various types of situations, such as e.g. for releasing payments made with the smartwatch.
  • the data obtained can also be used for training and / or entertainment purposes. Detects the backend server For example, the athlete wearing the mobile device can be automatically informed and adjust their performance or tactics accordingly. For entertainment purposes, the measurement data of a participant (such as a racer), for example, be transmitted live.
  • the retrieved data and profiles stored in the backend may be anonymized and added to a multi-dimensional database of history patterns, with the appropriate results (e.g., false alarm, medical finding) resulting from the respective records.
  • the database can be expanded, deepened and / or enriched with the data or profiles obtained.
  • the data and / or profiles stored on the backend may provide an indication of diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. If the backend server 2 recognizes a questionable history pattern corresponding to that of a disease attack or other deviation from normative values, the wearer of the mobile device 3 can be informed of the eventual need for intervention (medical, organizational, etc.). In the event of sleep disturbances, the stored data can be searched in the background pattern backend server 2, indicating a cause of the disturbance.
  • the data may be used for lifestyle applications.
  • the individual behavior of a user can be compared, in whole or in part, with stored profiles in order to identify optimization possibilities or warning instructions in the user's lifestyle. Sleep, snoring, stress, diet, blood sugar, posture, Movements, breathing or fitness, for example, can be matched with appropriate sensors and matched with the learned data in the knowledge database in the backend.
  • the back-end server 2 can compare the several data records with one another, for example in order to compare e.g. to recognize one of the persons whose data is outside a normal range for the other group.
  • Back-end server 2 and control station (communication device) 4 may each be made up of one or more units including dedicated circuit (s) or hardware and / or multipurpose programmable computing devices such as computer hardware. have a cloud platform.
