DESCRIPTION

DIGITAL IDENTIFICATION DEVICE FOR INDIVIDUALS WITHIN

An enclosure

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The digital device of the invention is designed for the identification and location of a user within a closed enclosure, such that the user carrying the device of the invention shows on a screen their personal or work data such as their name , photo, company logo or similar. In addition, this device has the function of constantly sending and receiving radio beacon signals on the exact location of the user who carries the device, so it offers at all times the exact positioning of the individual within an enclosed space such as a hotel, a building, fair or similar.

For this, the device of the invention is composed of a wireless receiver module, a radio beacon module, an electronic module, a screen and batteries; being all connected to each other through the electronic module.

The field of application of the invention is comprised within the sector of digital systems specifically for the control of the location of a user within an enclosure.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, the identification cards or business cards necessary for the access of an individual within a closed enclosure such as a public building, a hotel, a fair or similar are known. These cards are necessary both for the access of visitors within the enclosure, as well as for the employees themselves of the enclosure and are mostly made of plastic materials or printed plasticized cardboard. These cards can be personified with

the name of the user who carries it or being generic with the designation for example of the visitor.

Thus, in either of these two cases, the cards only have a protocol access character, but in no way do these cards issue information on the position or location of who carries it within an enclosure, as is achieved with the device of the invention. In addition, it is convenient to note that conventional cards present printed data and are therefore not reusable, such as conventional business cards or employee identification cards. In the case of business cards, they are usually generic cards that are suitable for any individual regardless of the visitor and in the case of employee identification cards, they are usually of a single-person type on which the user's name is printed on its surface , company or similar. On the contrary, with the digital device of the invention it is possible to always show the data of the user who carries it and it is also reusable since these data change electronically, that is, all the data of interest of the user are reflected on a screen and can be modified remotely through wireless connections with computer devices.

Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to develop a digital device that in addition to being able to be used as a reusable identification card by many users, by displaying their personal data in the form of text and images such as photographs, logos , name or similar depending on the person carrying it; It is also enabled to offer the location of the user within an enclosure in real time by means of a radio beacon module inserted in the device, which allows the visitor to locate the exact point of its location and therefore be able to find within a building some point of interest such as an office for a meeting. In addition, this radio-beacon radio control system makes it possible to control visitor and / or employee accesses by making their location known to third parties.

Taking into account all the problems described above, the digital identification device for individuals within an enclosure object of the present invention, provides differences with respect to conventional identification cards both for the elements that integrate it, as for the functions and advantages derived from the same that improve what is known so far in this sector. Therefore, and in accordance with the foregoing, with the device object of the invention, it is possible to improve the comfort of a user at the time of knowing their location in the case of a visit; and at the same time it provides greater control of the positioning of a user, since the device of the invention has a radio beacon module that sends and receives radio signals that visually controls the user's location both for their own knowledge, and for the control of the user by third parties, in a totally different and improved way to what is known so far in this sector.

Next, a detailed description of the invention is completed that completes these general ideas introduced at this point.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The digital device of the invention is constituted by a wireless receiver module, a radio beacon module, an electronic module, a screen and batteries; all of which is linked together electronically by means of the electronic module. Stressing that the receiver module is in wireless connection with computer devices; the beacon module sends and receives positional information of the location of the device within a closed enclosure; and the electronic module treats all the data received from both the receiver module and the radio beacon module, showing them on the screen in the form of text and image.

The device of the invention is of low power consumption, light and small in size, so that a user can carry it comfortably and conveniently thanks to the fact that the device is enabled on its body with a clamp or a cord, so that a user can take

on your clothes or secured around your neck respectively, in a totally safe and visible way.

As previously indicated, the device receives remote information from the user who carries it through a receiver module that wirelessly receives user data such as photographs, logos, name or similar. All this information collected in the receiver module is sent to an electronic module, where the information is processed and sent to a digital screen where the information is displayed in the form of text and image.

On the screen of the digital device, both the relevant user data that are necessary for recognition within an enclosure, as well as its location in real time, are displayed. This is because in addition to having the device a wireless receiver module, it also has a beacon module that emits and receives radio control type signals, which determine the user's position in real time. This beacon module constantly reads and sends radio signals that determine the position of the person carrying the device inside an enclosure such as a building, fair or similar. This radio beacon module is also connected to the electronic module through which this information is processed and subsequently represented on the device screen. Thanks to the fact that the user can locate their real position on the device screen, this screen is also digital and allows the user to interact with the screen by means of instructions previously programmed electronically in their module and easily access the instructions shown on your device making a meeting point easily reachable, for example.

It is noted that since the radio beacon module constantly receives and sends signals from its position, in addition to serving this reading data so that the user who knows their position within an enclosure, in addition a third party can also have access to the position of this user since the radio beacon module also emits this position continuously. In this way, a visitor or a worker who carries the device constantly emits its position, so that a third party can also have

Wirelessly control the real-time location of the device. Therefore, the digital device of the invention has a dual location function, which is to have the user informed of its location within an enclosure and also that a third party is aware of the actual position of the subject that carries it throughout moment.

On the other hand, to keep the assembly in operation the device has at least one electric battery in connection with the electronic module that provides electricity to the assembly. The optimum number of batteries necessary for the supply of electricity of the assembly, depends on the need for independence thereof, noting further that as previously mentioned, the device of the invention is of low electrical consumption.

For all this, and according to the above, with the device of the invention a type of digital identification card is obtained that allows to receive and display the data of the user who carries it at all times, and also provides information on its position in time real.
