BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In order to better understand the drawings cited in the detailed description of the invention, a brief description of each drawing is provided.
1 is a block diagram of a notification system for the deaf according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to fully understand the present invention, operational advantages of the present invention, and objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference symbols in the drawings denote like elements.

In the present specification, it has been described that the notification system according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a hearing impaired person. However, the notification system according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied not only to the hearing impaired, but also to the elderly, other severely disabled, and even the general public.

1 is a block diagram of a notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the notification system according to an exemplary embodiment includes a plurality of first sensors S11 to S14, an integrated processor 200, and a portable terminal 300.

The plurality of first sensors S11 ˜ S14 are installed in the plurality of spaces 110, 120, 130, and 140, respectively. Each of the first sensors S11 to S14 senses the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 generated in the corresponding spaces 110, 120, 130, and 140. For example, the plurality of spaces 110, 120, 130, and 140 may be a room, a living room, a porch, or another space of a house.

The integrated processor 200 receives and stores a plurality of signal patterns that may occur in a plurality of spaces in advance. Signal patterns include user specific signal patterns or normalized signal patterns. The integrated processor 200 receives the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 sensed by the plurality of first sensors S11 to S14 and determines whether they match the stored signal patterns. When the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 sensed by the plurality of first sensors S11 to S14 match the stored signal patterns, the signal patterns sensed by the plurality of first sensors S11 to S14. Fields SP1 and SP2 are transmitted to the mobile terminal 300 to inform the user (deaf).

As such, the notification system according to the embodiment of the present invention may register a signal pattern specialized for a user (deaf), and notify the user (deaf) when a registered signal pattern occurs.

For example, the sound of the hearing impaired child is registered in advance in the integrated processor 200, and when the child has a cry, the first sensor transmits the child's cry to the integrated processor 200. The integrated processor 200 compares the crying sound of the child detected by the first sensor with the crying sound of the registered child, and if the match is identical to the parent (deaf) of the child having the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4. It can tell you that you have heard a cry.

You can also pre-register for a door, a specific visit, or the opening or closing of a specific window, and let your child's parents know if the child is entering or leaving the front door or a specific room. It is also possible to register a sound pattern that calls the name of the deaf, and to tell the deaf if he or she is called. In addition, a sound of pressing the doorbell or a knocking door may be registered and notified to a deaf person when the sound is detected. In addition, even when a sound pattern indicating an emergency situation occurs (for example, when a fire alarm sounds), the hearing impaired person can be notified. In addition, you can register the sound of the cracking of the bowl or the sound of falling objects in the drawer, and notify the deaf.

The portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 convert the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 received from the integrated processor 200 into notification signals and provide them to the user. The notification signal may be a signal that can be confirmed by a sense other than hearing. In this case, a visually recognizable notification signal may be displayed on the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 in the form of an icon or the like, and may be illuminated on the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 (for example, a light warning light and a siren). Can show. In addition, the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 may be vibrated by themselves, or minute electrical stimuli may be applied to the body through the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4. In addition, the notification signal may be a signal that can be confirmed by hearing. For example, the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 may provide guidance through sound.

The portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 not only receive the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 from the integrated processor 200 but also the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 sensed by the plurality of first sensors S11 to S14. May be directly received, converted into a notification signal, and provided to the user. The process of converting the signal into the notification signal and providing the same to the user may be performed in the same process as when the signal patterns SP1 and SP2 are received from the integrated processor 200.

As described above, in the notification system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, even when a user (deaf) is located in an area where a sensor is not installed, a signal pattern may be detected using a portable terminal that may receive a signal pattern. There is an advantage.

Meanwhile, the process of registering a signal pattern specialized for a user in the integrated processor 200 and informing the user when a registered signal pattern occurs has been described above. Furthermore, a signal pattern specialized for the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 may be registered. For example, the sound of the hearing impaired child is registered in advance in the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4, and when the child has a cry, the first sensor transmits the cry of the child to the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4. Send. The portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 may convert the crying sound of the child into a notification signal and provide the same to the user.

The notification system according to an embodiment of the present invention registers standard signal patterns that may occur in daily life in the integrated processor 200 or the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4, and informs a user when a registered signal pattern occurs. Can be. For example, a signal tone of a home appliance such as an end notification of a rice cooker, an end notification of a washing machine, a fax or a call reception notification may be registered, and the user may be notified through the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 when a registered tone occurs. In addition, the water leakage notification or gas leak notification may be registered, and the user may be notified through the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 when the registered beep occurs.

When the integrated processor 200 or the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 are manufactured, the standard signal patterns may be registered, and the standard signal patterns may be added later by updating. In addition, the user may register standard signal patterns.

The notification system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may inform a user of a situation detected by the notification devices S21 and S22 that are already attached to various devices. Notification devices S21 and S22 are sensors that are already attached to various devices (for example, a fire alarm), and detect a predetermined situation and notify the integrated processor 200. When the signal patterns generated by the notification devices S21 and S22 match the stored signal patterns, the integrated processor 200 transmits the signal patterns generated by the notification devices S21 and S22 to the portable terminal 300. Send.

The portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 may be manufactured in a form of a wrist, a shape of a necklace, a shape of a belt, or a shape of a rubber band, such as a shape that can be easily carried or attached to a body. Of course, the forms of the portable terminals 300_1 to 300_4 listed above are merely examples.
