Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un bracelet de sécurité portatif, basé sur la mesure du pouls, déclenchant une alarme, pouvant être utilisé dans l'eau (piscines, mer ou rivière) ou l'air. The present invention relates to a portable safety bracelet, based on the measurement of the pulse, triggering an alarm, which can be used in water (swimming pools, sea or river) or air.
Il n'existe pas actuellement de contrôle efficace donnant l'alerte avant qu'un baigneur ne se noie et puisse être secouru avant qu'il ne soit trop tard. De nombreuse noyades sont constatées, dans les piscines publiques ou privées du fait que, de nombreux baigneurs étant ensembles dans l'eau, personne ne s'aperçoit que l'un d'eux, ayant eu un malaise ou ayant reçu un coup, est resté au fond trop longtemps. Les baigneurs ne regardent pas le temps qu'un autre reste sous l'eau, n'étant pas chargés du contrôle des baigneurs. Pour les maîtres nageurs, ils ne peuvent pas non plus contrôler le temps que l'un des baigneurs reste sous l'eau, du fait du nombre de baigneurs en même temps dans la piscine.De nombreux cas de noyade ont été enregistrés, lors de séances de cours pour les écoles, du fait que des groupes d'enfants s'amusent pendant que d'autres groupes participent aux leçons données par les maîtres-nageurs. There is currently no effective control giving the warning before a bather drowns and can be rescued before it is too late. Numerous drownings are noted, in public or private swimming pools due to the fact that, many bathers being together in the water, nobody realizes that one of them, having had discomfort or having received a blow, is stayed at the bottom too long. Bathers do not watch while another remains underwater, not being responsible for controlling bathers. For lifeguards, they also cannot control the time that one of the bathers remains underwater, due to the number of bathers at the same time in the pool. Many cases of drowning have been recorded, during lesson sessions for schools, as groups of children have fun while other groups participate in lessons given by lifeguards.
L'invention a pour but de pallier à ce problème et donne l'alerte dès que le baigneur équipé de cette invention est en difficulté. Il a été constaté par des chercheurs que, dans les différents types de noyades, le pouls descend en dessous d'un niveau normal, qui peut être zéro, pendant un certain temps. Ceci permet, si l'on détecte suffisamment tôt cette descente de pouls ou cet arrêt, de donner l'alerte et de sortir le baigneur de l'eau avant qu'il ne soit trop tard, et donc sauver le baigneur puisqu'il pourra de nouveau respirer à la remise en fonction de la respiration. Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être utilisé dans les piscines, dans des zones délimitées de rivières ou de mer, le récepteur d'alarme pouvant être fixe ou portatif.Le système d'alerte peut donner l'indication de la zone ou se trouve le baigneur, dans la surface de la zone de baignade contrôlée, au maître-nageur de service. The invention aims to overcome this problem and gives an alert as soon as the bather equipped with this invention is in difficulty. It has been found by researchers that in different types of drowning, the pulse drops below a normal level, which can be zero, for a while. This allows, if we detect this drop in pulse or this stop early enough, to give the alert and get the bather out of the water before it is too late, and therefore save the bather since he can breathe again upon resumption of respiration. The device according to the invention can be used in swimming pools, in delimited areas of rivers or sea, the alarm receiver can be fixed or portable. The alert system can give the indication of the area where is the bather, in the surface of the controlled bathing area, to the lifeguard on duty.
L'invention se compose de : - premièrement d'un bracelet dans lequel est intégré un système de mesure du pouls (auquel peut être adjoint un système de mesure de la pression sanguine) qui calcule la moyenne du pouls, dès sa mise en place, et actionne un émetteur d'ultra-sons aussitôt que le pouls descend et/ou monte au delà d'une limite donnée. Ce signal ultra-sons peut être codé pour éviter les interférences avec d'autres système pouvant exister dans d'autres domaines. - deuxièmement d'un ou plusieurs récepteurs d'ultra-sons placés dans le milieu aquatique où se trouve le ou les baigneurs et qui déclenchent une alarme à la réception du signal ultra-sonique correspondant. The invention consists of: - firstly a bracelet in which is integrated a pulse measurement system (to which a blood pressure measurement system can be added) which calculates the average pulse, as soon as it is put in place, and activates an ultrasonic transmitter as soon as the pulse goes down and / or goes up beyond a given limit. This ultrasonic signal can be coded to avoid interference with other systems that may exist in other areas. - secondly from one or more ultrasonic receivers placed in the aquatic environment where the swimmer (s) is located and which trigger an alarm on reception of the corresponding ultrasonic signal.
Cet alarme peut être soit sonore et/ou visuelle et peut être transmise par fils, par moyen électro-magnétique, infra-rouge, etc.This alarm can be either audible and / or visual and can be transmitted by wire, by electro-magnetic, infrared, etc.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentielle, l'invention se compose d'un bracelet 1, ajusté sur le bras du baigneur, comportant un boîtier étanche 2 dans lequel se trouve le capteur de pouls 3 donnant les informations de mesure du pouls au circuit électronique 4. Le circuit électronique 4 alimenté par la pile 5 est mis en service par le bouton protégé 6. Dès la mise en place sur le bras du baigneur, en appuyant sur le bouton 6, le circuit électronique 4 calcule le pouls du baigneur suivant les informations reçues du capteur 3. Cette valeur est enregistrée dans la mémoire du circuit 4 et servira de valeur de référence. Ensuite, la valeur du pouls est contrôlée périodiquement et comparée à la valeur de référence.En cas de descente ou de montée de cette valeur en dehors de limites prédéfinies (qui peut être éventuellement O pour la limite basse), le circuit électronique 4 donne l'ordre à l'émetteur d'ultra-sons 7 d'envoyer un signal ultra-sonique 8 codé ou non. Le signal 8 sera transmis par l'eau et reçu par le ou les récepteurs d'ultra sons 9. Le(s) récepteur(s) 9 déclenche(nt) le relais d'alarme 10 qui actionne l'alarme visuelle et/ou sonore 11. Pour la sécurité de fonctionnement, un test du dispositif peut être fait, en dehors de l'eau, à l'aide du bouton protégé 12 qui actionne le dispositif. Le signal est alors reçu par un autre récepteur 13 qui actionne le dispositif de contrôle 14. According to a preferred embodiment, the invention consists of a bracelet 1, adjusted on the arm of the swimmer, comprising a waterproof housing 2 in which is the pulse sensor 3 giving the measurement information of the pulse to the electronic circuit 4 The electronic circuit 4 powered by the battery 5 is put into service by the protected button 6. As soon as it is placed on the swimmer's arm, by pressing the button 6, the electronic circuit 4 calculates the swimmer's pulse according to the information received from sensor 3. This value is stored in the memory of circuit 4 and will serve as a reference value. Then, the pulse value is checked periodically and compared to the reference value. In the event of a fall or rise of this value outside of predefined limits (which may be O for the low limit), the electronic circuit 4 gives l order to the ultrasonic transmitter 7 to send an ultrasonic signal 8 coded or not. The signal 8 will be transmitted by water and received by the ultrasonic receiver (s) 9. The receiver (s) 9 trigger (s) the alarm relay 10 which activates the visual alarm and / or sound 11. For operational safety, a test of the device can be done, outside of water, using the protected button 12 which actuates the device. The signal is then received by another receiver 13 which actuates the control device 14.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le circuit électronique 4 calcule le pouls, le code et le transmet à l'émetteur 7 qui dans ce cas est un émetteur hertzien. Le signal 8 est un signal hertzien qui est transmis au récepteur 9 qui dans ce cas est un récepteur hertzien. Le récepteur 9 déclenche l'alarme 10 ou transmet l'information reçue au boîtier 15 qui peut être couplé à tous moyens de transmission d'information. Ce mode de réalisation peut donc être utilisé en dehors de l'eau pour tout autres usages (contrôle permanent du pouls de bébé, personnes agées, malades etc). According to another embodiment, the electronic circuit 4 calculates the pulse, the code and transmits it to the transmitter 7 which in this case is a radio transmitter. The signal 8 is a radio signal which is transmitted to the receiver 9 which in this case is a radio receiver. The receiver 9 triggers the alarm 10 or transmits the information received to the box 15 which can be coupled to any means of transmitting information. This embodiment can therefore be used outside of water for any other use (permanent monitoring of the baby's pulse, the elderly, the sick, etc.).
Plusieurs récepteurs d'alarme peuvent être couplés, pour former un quadrillage, de façon à donner l'emplacement exacte où se trouve la personne en difficulté. Ce système, s'il est largement utilisé, peut aider à sauver beaucoup de vies humaines et servir de base à beaucoup d'applications de sécurité aussi bien dans l'eau qu'en dehors de l'eau. Several alarm receivers can be coupled, to form a grid, so as to give the exact location of the person in difficulty. This system, if widely used, can help save many human lives and serve as the basis for many safety applications both inside and outside the water.
