Abstract

Device for preventing accidents that may occur while traveling with a mobile phone with images or a tablet. The invention relates to a device allowing the detection of any obstacle or difference in ground level or protuberance which may occur in front of the users of mobile phones with images or tablets while they are moving while looking at their screen and therefore no longer lends pay enough attention to what is happening in front of them and alert them with a small sound and/or light and/or vibration or optical signal of the presence of these obstacles and the risk of accidents they represent. It consists of detectors (2) and (2bis) fitted to the mobile image telephone (1) picking up all the obstacles (3) and (3bis) to trigger a light signal (4) and/or sound, and/or vibration. The detector can also be an optical sensor (2ter) which picks up and projects the image of the obstacle (3) inside the image of the screen or on the image (3bis) to warn the user of the risk represented by these obstacles The electronic or optical device (7) can be incorporated into the protective shells (5) of mobile phones with images and tablets, which will have the advantage of being able to equip existing mobile phones with images and tablets and not equipped with device. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the prevention of accidents which may occur when users of image mobile telephones or tablets move about while looking at their screen and no longer paying enough attention to what is happening in front of them.

Description

Device for preventing accidents that may occur while moving with a mobile phone with images or a tablet

The present invention relates to any device, in particular electronic or optical, making it possible to warn users of mobile phones with images or tablets, of any obstacle or difference in ground level or protuberances, which may arise in front of them while they are moving while looking at their screen.

It is now very common to see people moving around or walking in the street looking at the screen of their picture laptop or tablet and therefore not paying enough attention to obstacles or differences in ground level or protrusions that may occur in front of them and risk hitting them or throwing them off balance and causing them to fall.

This device according to the invention will make it possible to remedy this lack of attention by warning the user by a signal of these risks and avoiding any accident.

It consists, according to a first characteristic, in installing one or more detectors at a desired point of the device, set to detect at a given distance any obstacle that may arise in front of it and trigger a small sound and or vibratory and or light signal, to prevent the user and draw his attention to the danger he represents.

It consists, according to a second feature, of installing one or more detectors at a desired point on the device so that they can detect any difference in ground level, in particular curbs and other protuberances which arise while the user is moving and which risk destabilizing it and causing it to fall, it will then trigger a small sound and/or vibration and/or light signal, to warn it and draw its attention to the danger it represents.

It consists, according to a third characteristic, in installing an optical sensor at a desired point of the device, adjusted to capture at a given distance the image of any obstacle or difference in ground level or protuberances, which may occur in front of the user and project it inside the image of the screen or on the image, to prevent it and attract its attention.

According to a fourth characteristic, it consists in incorporating the device into the protective shells of mobile phones with images and tablets, which will have the advantage of being able to equip existing mobile phones with images and tablets that are not equipped with this type of device.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

There represents a portable picture telephone carrying the device and held in the hand by a user.

There represents this same device with the device seen from above.

There represents this same device with the device seen in profile.

There shows this same device with the optical sensor device seen from above.

There represents a mobile phone protective shell with images equipped with the device.

With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a detector (2a) identifying the obstacles (3) at a given distance to trigger the light signal (4).

A detector (2) detecting an obstacle (3bis) from the surface of the ground to trigger one or two of the warning signals.

[0016] An optical detector (2ter) picking up the image of an obstacle (3) at a given distance and projects it inside the image of the screen or on the image (3bis), to prevent and attract the user's attention.

A mobile phone protective cover with images (5) extended with the device (7) and its detectors (2) and (2a) picking up an obstacle (3) to trigger the light signal (4).

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the prevention of accidents which may occur when users of image mobile telephones or tablets move about while looking at their screen and no longer paying enough attention to what is happening in front of them.

Claims (5)

Device making it possible to warn by a small sound and/or light signal (4) and or vibratory the users of mobile phone with image or tablet, by detecting with the sensors (2) and (2a) any obstacle (3) or difference in level of the sol (3bis) u protrusions, which can occur in front of them, while they move around while looking at their screen and therefore do not pay enough attention to what is happening in front of them Device according to Claim 1, characterized by a sensor (2bis) making it possible to locate at a desired distance any obstacle (3) which may arise in front of the user of the mobile phone with image or tablet, while he is moving while looking at his screen and trigger a small sound signal (4) and or vibration and or light, to prevent it and draw its attention to the danger it represents. Device according to Claim 1, characterized by a sensor (2) making it possible to locate at a desired distance any obstacle on the ground (3bis) which may occur in front of the user of the mobile phone with image or tablet moving while looking at his screen and triggering a small light signal (4) and/or vibration and/or sound, to prevent it and draw its attention to the danger it represents Device according to Claim 1, characterized by an optical sensor (2ter) making it possible to locate at a desired distance the image of any obstacle which may arise in front of the user of the mobile phone with image or tablet, while he is moving while looking at his screen and prevent it by projecting this image inside the image of the screen or as an over-image (3bis) on this same screen. This may also be accompanied by a sound or vibration signal. Device according to Claims 1 and 4, characterized in that the device is incorporated (7) in a shell (5) of a mobile phone with images or a tablet, thus making it possible to equip existing mobile phones with images and tablets.
