(54) SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENDING WARNINGS ON A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SIGNALED AS DANGEROUS TO A MOBILE DEVICE NEAR THE SAID AREA.

FR 3,062,015 - A1 \ 57) The present invention relates to a system and a method for sending warnings over a geographical area indicated as dangerous to a mobile device close to said area. The system includes at least one mobile device, a cloud platform, and a graphical interface deployed by the platform. Said method comprises the steps of user authentication with a cloud platform, obtaining the GPS of the mobile device, monitoring the movement of the user, obtaining information concerning this movement, displaying on a graphical interface of a map, information concerning the area and movement, as well as the display of visual and / or audible warnings if the said geographic area has been marked as dangerous.

The present invention relates to the technical field of geolocation of connected objects and of data processing on a cloud platform.

In the state of the art, there are methods for geolocating connected objects, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and PDAs. Consequently, geolocating these objects means knowing the geographical position of its user.

This geolocation, played on a map normally accessible from the screen of the connected object, is very useful for a user who is lost. This geolocation is also very useful for the police, who manage to find missing persons from the geographic location of their mobile phones.

However, existing methods for geolocating connected objects do not give users more information about the area in which they transit.

Thus, the user is not warned that he is passing through an area already reported by the police, or by other people, such as an area with a high crime rate or a dangerous natural area (strong vertical drop, quicksand, submersible road, high voltage lines). In this case, the user will not be able to avoid the said zone because he does not have this information.

It is therefore necessary to propose a method which makes it possible to warn the user of the degree of dangerousness of a geographical area so that he can avoid it.

Such a process is very useful for users who are touring and do not necessarily know all the places to avoid.

The present invention therefore aims to solve the technical problems mentioned above, by proposing a sending system and method

-2 warnings on a geographic area reported as dangerous to a mobile device close to said area.

Detailed description

With reference to these drawings, the system comprises at least one mobile device (1), a cloud platform (2) and a graphical interface (3) deployed by said platform (2).

The mobile device (1) is composed of a screen, a processor, means for executing an application, means for establishing an internet connection, access to the cloud platform (2) and means for deploy the graphical interface (3) of the cloud platform (2).

The mobile device (1) is of the mobile terminal, Smartphone, PDA, tablet or any other mobile device type comprising a microprocessor architecture with reduced instruction set - advanced reduced instruction setcomputer machines - preferably having as Android® operating system, and able to process information.

The mobile device (1) is also the means by which the system administrator can, at his discretion, configure or check the proper functioning of the system.

Preferably, the mobile device (1) must be duly authenticated to be able to access the cloud platform (2) in order to send and / or receive data from said platform (2).

The cloud platform (2) is made up of at least one database.

-5This platform (2) is intended for:

a) store web profiles (5) and information,

b) store parameters,

c) generate maps in 2D, 3D or actually augmented

The system also includes a graphical interface (3) deployed by said platform (2) and intended to display on the screen of the mobile device (1) or on the screen of a computer or on the screen of a connected object at least:

a) a page for user authentication,

b) a web profile (5),

c) information concerning the user, the zone, the movement, the danger of said zone, the signs around said zone, images, among other information,

d) visual and / or audible warnings (4).

The system described above corresponds to a system intended to implement a method of sending warnings (4) over a geographical area indicated as dangerous to a mobile device (1) close to said area.

Said method corresponds to the following steps.

First, on the screen of the mobile device (1), the graphical interface (3) displays a page so that a user can authenticate by entering their username and passwords. This authentication is secured by an encryption system and a transfer using an HTTPS protocol.

Optionally, this authentication can take place via web account sharing platforms, such as Facebook®, Google®, Snapchat® or Twitter®, among others.

Optionally, anonymous automatic authentication is performed as soon as the user accesses the graphical interface (3) from the mobile device (.1), thanks to the unique identification of the device (1) of the user (IMEI).

Once identified, the user can access the cloud platform (2) in order to send and / or receive information from said platform (2) and in order to create and / or access a web profile (5) of a user.

Preferably, the user obtains his username and password when the authentication page is displayed for the first time.

Commonly, the user enters information on his web profile (5) such as his identity (name, first name, gender, marital status, age, address, among others).

Advantageously, the web profile (5) with information on the user is shared on the internet and / or on social networks with users also having a web profile (5) and duly authenticated, or even with the authorities such as the police and the gendarmerie. .

With reference to FIG. 1, when the user performs his authentication using his mobile device (1) to access, send and / or receive information from the cloud platform (2), this authentication triggers the Obtaining the Geo-positioning by Satellite - GPS of the mobile device (1) and monitoring its movement.

The mobile device (1) accesses, sends and / or receives information from the cloud platform (2) via a wireless Internet connection such as Wi-Fi, or cellular data 3G, 4G.

Commonly, tracking the user's movement over a geographic area leads to obtaining information concerning this movement, such as the user's walking speed and / or average speed, the distance traveled and the time used. This monitoring also leads to the obtaining of information concerning said zone.

The information concerning the movement of the user in said area is generated and updated in real time and can be sent to the platform.

-7in the cloud (2) for recording on a database of said platform (2).

Information about the said area is obtained from the cloud platform database (2) or from the Internet. This information is updated in real time and immediately displayed on the screen of the mobile device (1).

With reference to FIG. 2, when tracking the movement of the user over a geographic area, a 2D, 3D or augmented reality map is displayed on the graphical interface (3) and the information relating to said area and the says displacement.

The information relating to the geographical area corresponding to at least the exact address where the user is located, to the name and images of signs such as shops, schools, hospitals, among others, the turn of the user, as well other users' reviews of the area, among other information.

Ideally, this information is previously recorded on the cloud platform (2) or on the internet.

Preferably, as the user moves around the area, this information is played on the map in 2D, 3D or augmented reality, displayed on the graphic interface (3) and displayed on the screen of the mobile device (1) of the user.

Thus, on the screen of the mobile device (1) the user is aware that only

200 meters away there is a school, or 500 meters away there is a supermarket with such name or brand and also visualizes the image (photo and / or video) of said supermarket, for example.

Advantageously, on the graphic interface (2) are displayed visual and / or audible warnings (4) when said geographical area has been signaled as dangerous.

Signaling of the geographic area as dangerous is carried out beforehand by another user or by obtaining information on the dangerousness of said area on the internet.

Ideally, the signaling of the geographical area as dangerous carried out by another user has been previously recorded on the cloud platform (2) by the said user, preferably from his web profile (5).

With reference to FIG. 3, when the geographical area where the user is located has been signaled as dangerous by another user, it is displayed on the graphic interface (3), in addition to the visual warnings (4) and / or audio, comments left by users regarding said area.

These comments can be testimonies of violence, or the reasons for which any user considered this danger zone.

The user, through his mobile device (1), can also add comments on his movement, the geographic area and the degree of dangerousness of said area.

The user therefore has the possibility to comment if he agrees with the opinion of another user regarding the danger of the area or not.

Advantageously, any user can also indicate that said geographic area is a restricted area, that is to say, a restricted area.

-9In this case, visual and / or audible warnings (4) are also displayed on the graphic interface (3) if the said geographic area has been marked as a restricted area.

Advantageously, visual and / or audible warnings (4) are also displayed on the graphical interface (3) if it is impossible to continue following the movement of the user due to a loss of signal from the Geo-positioning. by Satellite - GPS of the mobile device (1).

This type of warning (4) allows the last known position of the user to be saved on the cloud platform (2).

Thus, the user will be able to avoid said zone because he knows that he will have no follow-up from that moment, nor access to information such as the crime rate in said zone or if it is is a dangerous natural area (steep drop, quicksand, submersible road, high voltage lines).

This type of warning (4) is also useful in the event that the user gets lost, since authorities such as the police and the gendarmerie can find the last position known to the user.

Preferably, the cloud platform (2) records on its database the user signals, the information concerning the geographical area, the movement, as well as the visual and / or audio warnings (4).

In addition, audible alerts for warnings (4) depending on the area through which the user transits are generated.

As a result, for example, it is possible that a warning (4) of lower sound is triggered 200 meters from an area marked as dangerous to warn the user that he is approaching this area. . And, as

-10 the user approaches the danger zone, the intensity of the warning sound (4) increases.

The minimum distance to trigger the audible warnings (4), when the user approaches the danger zone, can be set, as well as the intensity of the sound.

With reference to FIG. 4, when the user receives the signals on an area, in the form of warnings (4), produced by any user, he has the possibility of commenting whether he agrees or not with the opinion of this other user, in relation to the dangerousness of the area. If he wishes, he can communicate directly with said user.

In this case, a window (6) for the exchange of instant messages between different users, via HTTP or HTTPS web services, is displayed on the graphical interface (3), accessible by the screen of the mobile device (1) .

Thus, the user can exchange messages with the other users who have already passed through this zone or are in the process of doing so.

Referring to Figure 5, when the cloud platform (2) records information on its database, such as user reports and information on geographic area, movement, as well as warnings (4) visual and / or audio, said information can be shared on social networks.

This sharing makes it possible to communicate the user's position and the risk of danger to other users, in particular the police, when it is a case of violence or disappearance.

Advantageously, this shared information is displayed, thanks to the graphical interface (3) deployed by the cloud platform (2), on the screen of the mobile device (1) or on the screen of a computer or on the screen of a connected object.

Thus, the system and the method according to the invention are particularly intended to set up means to warn the user of the degree of dangerousness of a geographical area so that he can avoid it.
