Abstract
A social alarm system (10) in which an operator of the system may communicate with a client (4) at an extended range from a hub unit (200) is described. The system (10) comprises the aforementioned hub unit (200), trigger device (100) and client device (300). The hub unit (200) receives an alarm signal at a first frequency (102), receives audio data from an operator, and transmits the audio data received from the operator at a second frequency (202). The trigger device (100) originates the alarm signal at the first frequency (102), typically in response to some alarm event, receives audio data from the hub unit at the second frequency (202), and provides a relay for onward transmission of the audio data to the client device (300). The client device (300) receives the relayed audio data from the trigger device and outputs it as sound.
Claims (15)
1. A social alarm system, comprising: a hub unit arranged to receive an alarm signal at a first frequency, receive audio data from an operator, and transmit the audio data received from the operator at a second frequency; a trigger device arranged to originate the alarm signal at the first frequency, receive audio data from the hub unit at the second frequency, and provide a relay for onward transmission of the audio data received from the hub unit; and a client device arranged to receive relayed audio data from the trigger device and output the audio data as sound.
2. The social alarm system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger device transmits audio data to the hub unit at the second frequency.
3. The social alarm system of claims 1 or 2, wherein the first frequency is within a social alarm band of 312 MHz to 921 MHz, and the second frequency is a frequency outside the social alarm band.
4. The social alarm system of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the second frequency is between 2400 to 2500 MHz.
5. The social alarm system of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the client device and trigger device communicate using Bluetooth low energy to relay audio from the trigger device to the client device.
6. The social alarm system of claim 5, wherein client device is a Bluetooth hearing aid.
7. A social alarm trigger device for facilitating communication between an operator and a client in a social care environment, comprising: an alarm module configured to transmit an alarm signal to a hub unit at a first frequency; a first communication module configured to receive audio data from the hub unit at a second frequency; and a second communication module configured to transmit the audio data received from the hub unit via the first communication module to an electronic client device.
8. The social alarm trigger device of claim 7, wherein the first communication module and second communication module are woken from a low power state in response to the alarm module transmitting the alarm signal.
9. The social alarm trigger device of any of claims 7 or 8, wherein the first communication module is further configured to transmit audio data to the hub unit at the second frequency.
10. The social alarm trigger device of claim 9, wherein the second communication module is further configured to receive audio data from the client device.
11. The social alarm trigger device of any of claims 7 to 9, wherein the first communication module is configured to transmit two copies of a data packet at the second frequency.
12. A social alarm hub unit for facilitating communication between an operator and a client in a social care environment, comprising: an alarm module configured to receive an alarm signal from a trigger device at a first frequency, and call the operator; a communication module configured to provide a two-way audio communication path with the trigger device at a second frequency.
13. The social alarm hub unit of claim 12, wherein the communication module is activated from a low power state in response to the alarm module receiving the alarm signal from the trigger device.
14. The social alarm hub unit of claim 12 or 13, wherein the communication module is configured to transmit two copies of an audio data packet at the second frequency.
15. A method of establishing communication between an operator and a client in a social care environment, the method comprising: transmitting an alarm signal from a client trigger device to a client hub unit at a first frequency, in response to an event triggering the client trigger device; establishing audio communication between the operator and the client hub unit; providing a communication path between the client hub unit and the client trigger device at a second frequency; and relaying, via the client hub unit and client trigger device, audio from the operator to an audio device carried by the client, and outputting the audio.
