Description

Intelligent emergency notification smart band through bio sensing {INTELLIGENT SMART BAND FOR PROVIDING EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION THROUTH BIO SENSING}

The present invention relates to an intelligent emergency notification smart band through biosensing, and more particularly, real-time monitoring to measure and determine the wearer's heart rate, heart rate, temperature, activity amount, etc. to automatically notify the contact information of a registered guardian or emergency agency. In addition, intelligent emergency through bio-sensing that can detect the condition of the wearer and automatically transmit the surrounding environment as video and voice when it is judged as a dangerous situation, so that situation judgment can be executed more quickly and accurately. It relates to the situation notification smart band.

Recently, due to the explosive increase in the number of mobile communication subscribers, mobile communication terminals are becoming the most common necessities in the vicinity. Accordingly, mobile communication terminal manufacturers are releasing products with higher performance and multifunctionality, and in line with this, communication service companies are providing higher level communication services and various additional services.

Among the various functions provided in the mobile communication terminal, there is an alarm function that notifies others when an emergency occurs. However, when an emergency situation such as kidnapping or harassment occurs by a user, it is difficult to use these alarm functions sequentially, and it is difficult to request rescue because crime blocks access to the terminal.

To compensate for this, the prior art has proposed various methods and systems for transmitting the emergency situation to a guardian using a mobile communication terminal in the event of an emergency situation.

First, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0070356 discloses a crime protection device comprising a wrist band surrounding a wrist or a member that can be attached to a body or clothing. The crime protection device operates an operation button or an operation device to notify a dangerous situation to a terminal of a preset contact, and drives a GPS sensor to transmit location information to transmit surrounding images. Therefore, the crime protection device has a problem in that an operation button or an operation device must be operated in order to transmit dangerous situation and location information.

Second, in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0009009, an activation signal is generated by a user's action, and an emergency rescue signal is transmitted to a mobile communication terminal according to the activation signal, and the emergency rescue signal is determined whether or not it is an error. Thus, an emergency rescue request method for transmitting to an emergency rescue server is disclosed. The activation signal of the emergency rescue request method is generated by pressing a button or rotating or rotating a switch. Therefore, the emergency rescue request method has a problem in that a button must be pressed or a switch must be rotated or rotated to generate an activation signal.

As described above, various methods and systems for transmitting an emergency situation have been proposed, but there is a problem in that an action button must be pressed or an action of rotating or rotating a switch must be taken to transmit an emergency situation.

Meanwhile, in the prior art, a health management system for detecting and managing a user's biometric information has been proposed. This health management system detects only a small part of the user's biometric information and provides health-related information, so that the health-related information is not accurate, and a misjudgment occurs, resulting in poor reliability of the technology and may lead to false dispatch of emergency agencies. In addition, there is a problem of extremely limited service content, 24-hour management is not possible, patients cannot adequately respond to emergency situations, and there is a problem in that surrounding safety information and expected emergency situations cannot be obtained accurately and quickly in advance.

This is not particularly limited as long as it is a configuration capable of acquiring bio information.

For example, the wearable band body 100 may include a touch-type or non-touch-type display unit 101 on an upper surface that is an exposed surface. The display unit 101 may display the time in normal times, and in an emergency situation, the contact information of a pre-registered guardian may be automatically displayed by receiving a control signal from the control module 300.

The emergency situation determination unit 310 is configured to determine as an emergency situation when it is out of the range for the preset biosignal factors.

In other words, the emergency situation determination unit 310 determines that a sudden change in values of changes in the heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation, etc. of gravitational acceleration is an emergency or an emergency situation.

In addition, the location information determination unit 320 presets a predetermined radius range centered on a house, school, or academy, or presets a radius range centered on an arbitrary point, and also determines a radius range centered on a predetermined point. By setting it as a limited range, it may be made to determine whether to deviate from the range or access the range.

The notification execution unit 330 determines that the emergency situation is determined by the emergency situation determination unit 310 and the location information determination unit 320, or when it is determined that it is an emergency situation or that it is out of range or approaching, the location information and a notification message Will be transmitted.

In addition, the notification execution unit 330 may be configured to automatically display the contact information of the guardian registered in advance on the display unit 101 of the wearable band body 100 at the same time as the notification of the emergency situation.

In addition, the notification execution unit 330 automatically activates the camera module 130 and the voice recording module 140 when it is determined as an emergency situation or is out of the moving range or approaches, so that the video information and the audio information are also It can be made to transmit together.

The notification execution unit 330 transmits related information to a user terminal device (eg, a guardian's smart phone) installed with a linked application.

Such a notification execution unit 330 can not only notify the guardian in an emergency situation, but also display it on the display unit 101 so that nearby people can know the guardian's contact information to receive help such as delivering more accurate situations. It is made possible.

In addition, in the present invention, the control module 300 stores bio-factors in real time in order to increase the accuracy of judgment on different wearers, and calculates average data for each bio-factor by meta-data for each bio-factor. It may further include a data update unit 340 to update a preset range or value on the basis of it.
