Abstract
A social care system which utilises mobile devices as network nodes to extend a range of operation of a social alarm trigger device is described. The social care system 10 comprises a trigger device 100 and mobile electronic device 200. The trigger device 100 is arranged to transmit a first alarm signal 102 at a first, predetermined, radio frequency, and transmit a second alarm signal 104 at a second, different, radio frequency. The mobile electronic device 200 is arranged to monitor and process signals received at the second radio frequency 104, and in response to receiving such the second alarm signal 104, transmit a third alarm signal 202 at a third frequency to an operator of the social care system. Thus, the operator may be alerted to an emergency event without utilising the first alarm signal which is only processable by a hub unit 300 specifically paired with the trigger device 100; e.g. when the trigger device 100 is out of range of the hub unit 300.
Claims (15)
1. A social care system for raising an alarm with an operator of the system, comprising: a trigger device arranged to transmit a first alarm signal at a first, predetermined, radio frequency, and transmit a second alarm signal at a second, different, radio frequency; and a mobile electronic device arranged to monitor and process signals received at the second radio frequency, and in response to receiving the second alarm signal from the trigger device at the second radio frequency, transmit a third alarm signal to the operator at a third frequency.
2. The social care system of claim 1 , wherein the second radio frequency is a Bluetooth low energy frequency.
3. The social care system of claims 1 or 2, wherein the second alarm signal includes identifier information of the trigger device.
4. The social care system of claim 3, wherein the third alarm signal includes identifier information of the trigger device.
5. The social care system of any preceding claim, wherein the third alarm signal includes location information.
6. The social care system of any preceding claim, wherein the third frequency is a frequency of communication with telecommunication infrastructure.
7. The social care system of claim 6, wherein the third frequency is variable based on current network coverage.
8. The social care system of any of claims 1 to 5, wherein the third frequency is a Wi-Fi frequency.
9. A social alarm trigger device for raising an alarm with an operator of a social care system, comprising: a first radio frequency â RFâ unit configured to transmit at a predetermined radio frequency, a second RF unit configured to transmit in a Bluetooth low energy band, and a processor configured to, in response to detecting a trigger event: control the first RF unit to transmit a first alarm signal at the predetermined radio frequency, and control the second RF unit to transmit a second alarm signal, at a Bluetooth low energy frequency.
10. The social alarm trigger device of claim 9, wherein the processor wakes the first RF unit from a low power mode in order to transmit the first alarm signal.
11. The social alarm trigger device of claim 9 or 10, wherein the second alarm signal includes a unique identifier of the trigger device.
12. The social alarm trigger device of any of claims 9 to 11 , wherein the processor wakes the second RF unit from a low power mode in response to the trigger event.
13. The social alarm trigger device of any of claims 9 to 12, wherein the second alarm signal is transmitted in response to the processor determining that an acknowledgement signal has not been received from a hub unit via the first RF unit during a set time period.
14. The social alarm trigger device of any of claims 9 to 13, wherein the second RF unit is optimised for operation at ranges of up to ten metres.
15. A method for raising an alarm in a social care system, the method comprising: transmitting, by a trigger device, a first alarm signal at a first, predetermined, radio frequency, the first alarm signal being identifiable by a social care hub unit, transmitting, by the trigger device, a second alarm signal at a second radio frequency different to the first radio frequency, receiving, by a mobile electronic device, the second alarm signal at the second radio frequency from the trigger device and, in response, transmitting a third alarm signal at a third frequency to an operator of the social care system.
