  • the central server 10 transmits a guide information to the refuge guide device 20.
  • the guide information includes data of the latest fire simulation and escape plan etc.
  • the refuge guide device 20 may be located at a predetermined position Pa of a place (such as department store) needing to provide refuge guide in advance, and electrically connected to a power line network plug of the department store, and perform charging through the power line network plug, and to receive the guide information transmitted by the central server 10 through the power line network.
  • the refuge guide device 20 receives the guide information transmitted by the central server 10, via the wireless communication network (such as Wi-Fi network) provided by the wireless communication device 40.
  • the guide information may be transmitted at constant time interval (such as each week), immediately after an accident happening, or at a predetermined period of time after an accident happening.
  • the fire monitoring device 30 detects that the fire happens and obtains the fire information, and then transmits the fire information to the central server 10,

  • the calculation unit 102 of the central server 10 transmits the latest guide information Sg to refuge guide device 20, and transmits refuge enabling command to the refuge guide device 20 for the refuge guide device 20 to execute the guide information Sg immediately.
  • step S310 the refuge guide device 20 executes guide information Sg, and guide user to move from a location Pa that the refuge guide device 20 is originally located to a refuge location Pb, along a route Ra planned according to the guide information, detailed description relative to step S310 will be described together with other drawings in the following.
  • step S320 the refuge guide device 20 determines if it is capable of communicating with the central server 10 through the wireless communication device 40, that is, if the updated fire information can be received continuously. Because the refuge guide system 100 has the fire monitoring device 30 located at the predetermined location, fire along route planned according to the guide information can be monitored ideally, and the refuge guide system 100 immediately determines whether to change the guide information Sg. However, the fire condition changes unexpectedly, if the wireless communication device 40 malfunctions due to fire, then the refuge guide device 20 cannot communicate with the central server 10 through the wireless communication device 40, and cannot receive the updated fire information.
  • step S320 if the refuge guide device 20 determines that the communication with the central server 10 is still working through the wireless communication device 40, then step S300 is performed to continue to receive the guide information Sg. If the refuge guide device 20 determines that the communication with the central server 10 is not working through the wireless communication device 40, then step S330 is performed to guide with the currently latest guide information Sg.

  • the infrared sensor 290 senses a locale environment temperature Ti (that is, temperature of environment surrounding the refuge guide device 20) while moving along the indication route, and generates a locale fire information Sf to the control unit 200.
  • the control unit 200 may send the locale fire information Sf back to the central server 10, for further updating the fire condition and updating the guide information Sg if possible.
  • the control unit 200 itself determines (or the central server 10 makes determinations and then sends result to the control unit 200) if any fire present along the indication route, and if the fire can be extinguished.
  • the control unit 200 controls the fire nozzle 292 to extinguish the fire in sequence from fire with small degree to fire with large degree, for removing obstacle along the indication route (step S316). If the fire is determined to be not extinguishable, the control unit 200 can report to the central server 10 for submitting request to change the route (step S317), or the central server 10 itself controls the refuge guide device 20 to change the route and transmits the updated guide information Sg to the refuge guide device 20. Then, in step S318, the refuge guide device 20 sets the updated guide information Sg (or changed route) to be the latest guide information Sg, and it returns to step S312 for continuing to perform route guide.
  • Fig. 4B describes the flowchart of determining of Fig. 3B .

If an infrared sensor 290 of the refuge guide device 20 senses the temperature Ti of environment surrounding a position Pf (which is ahead of the route to be passed) is too high, while moving along the indication route, and it is not possible to move forward, then the refuge guide device 20 itself determines (or according to the central server 10) to perform extinguishing, for moving along the original route Ra. Moreover, if the guide device 20 itself determines (or according to the central server 10) the fire is too large, and not extinguishable, then the route can be changed, and the new route Rb is followed to arrive another escape entrance Pc.
  • step S332 the refuge guide device 20 reads the currently latest guide information Sg, and controls the transport unit 240 to move the refuge guide device 20 along the indication route according to the guide information Sg. For example, moving along the route Ra shown in Fig. 4A , for guiding user to escape from the position Pa to the safe position Pb.
  • the refuge guide device 20 uses a gyroscope 262 in the auxiliary positioning unit 260 to calculate an azimuth angle information of the refuge guide device 20, and uses a gravity sensor 264 to calculate a speed and acceleration of the refuge guide device 20, and the auxiliary positioning unit 260 integrates the azimuth angle/speed/acceleration of the refuge guide device 20 into an auxiliary positioning information, and provides the auxiliary positioning information to the control unit 200, for the control unit 200 calculating the position/moving direction of the refuge guide device 20, in this way, the positioning unit 260 together with the control unit 200 replaces the position function originally achieved by the wireless communication unit 220 and the wireless communication device 40, and used for executing the position function for the refuge guide device 20, and move along the indication route according to the guide information Sg.

  • the control unit 200 uses the locale fire information Sf to determine if any fire is present along the indication route, and if the fire can be extinguished (step S334). If it is determined that the fire may be extinguished, then the control unit 200 controls the fire nozzle 292 to extinguish the fire in sequence from fire with small degree to fire with large degree, and remove the obstacle along the indication route (step S336).
  • step S3308 the refuge guide device 20 sets changed route as the latest guide information Sg, and step S332 is executed to continue to perform the route guide.
  • Fig. 4B may also describe a determining flowchart of shown in Fig. 3C . Assume that the refuge guide device 20 is located at the position Pa originally, after the fire happens, the refuge guide device 20 guides (according to guide information Sg) the user to move along the route Ra.
