Description

Apparatus and method for analyzing firefighter status {APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING STATUS OF FIREFIGHTER}

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for analyzing and inferring the state of firefighters put into a disaster scene.

The fire commander, who directs rescue activities in a complex disaster environment such as fire, agricultural smoke, and collapse, orders rescue operations with experience and intuition without knowing the location and situation of the firefighters in the disaster environment.

In a disaster environment, the status and location information of firefighters is transmitted and identified by voice to the firefighter commander. For voice transmission, firefighters use walkie-talkies to explain their uncertain location and situation, and fire commanders are instructing rescue operations based on the firefighters' subjective status reports. Therefore, if the firefighter's status transmission is wrong at the disaster site or the fire commander's interpretation is wrong, there may be a problem in maintaining the lives of each firefighter.

Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-0101356 discloses a technique for initiating an alarm when a unique identification associated with one of the emergency personnel is not received by the communication unit of the team member.

In addition, according to the present invention, the survival rate of firefighters can be improved through a dangerous situation notification.

1 is a schematic diagram showing an analysis apparatus 100 of the present invention.

The analysis apparatus 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 may include an acquisition unit 110 , an analysis unit 130 , and a providing unit 150 .

The acquisition unit 110 may acquire firefighter information. The firefighter information may correspond to input data for identifying, determining, inferring, and analyzing a firefighter's dangerous state. The dangerous state of the firefighter may include a state in which the firefighter may die, a state in which the firefighter may be harmed, and the like.

Misjudgment of the danger status of firefighters in a disaster situation may make it difficult to rescue victims waiting for rescue or put the firefighters at risk. It is good that various firefighter information is obtained in order to accurately infer the dangerous state of the firefighter.

The analysis unit 130 may identify, determine, infer, or analyze a firefighter's dangerous state by using the firefighter information. A plurality of firefighter information is obtained for each firefighter, and the analysis unit 130 may infer or analyze a dangerous state according to the importance of the plurality of firefighter information.

The providing unit 150 may provide the inference result or the analysis result of the analysis unit 130 to the setting terminal 10 . The setting terminal 10 may include a radio carried by the firefighter himself, a radio carried by a plurality of firefighters put into the field, and a command terminal 10 carried by a firefighter commander.

2 is a schematic diagram showing firefighter information.

The analysis unit 130 may divide the firefighter information into basic information and real-time information.

The basic information may include at least one of the firefighter's age, gender, career, physical fitness test grade, and a recent dispatch date.

The real-time information may include information obtained at a disaster site where firefighters are deployed.

The analysis unit 130 may classify real-time information into first information and second information.

The first information may include at least one of a disaster size, a disaster classification, and an elapsed time after the disaster occurs. The first information may represent disaster information indicating the state of the disaster itself.

The second information may include at least one of a time elapsed after the firefighter enters the field, a moving distance after entering the field, a current location, a breathing state, a heart rate, and an oxygen tank remaining amount. The second information may indicate information on the sensor 70 of the equipment worn by the firefighter and information on the sensor 70 directly installed on the firefighter. The second information may refer to current information indicating the current state of the firefighter.

By the analysis unit 130, the firefighter information may be classified as shown in Table 1 below.

Classification Information Explanation Basic Information Age, gender, experience, fitness test grade, date of last dispatch, medical history Basic personal information of firefighters and basic evaluation information Real-time information Disaster information (first information) Disaster size, classification, and time elapsed since it occurred Status information of the disaster that occurred Current information (second information) Elapsed time, distance traveled, location, breathing status, heart rate status, oxygen tank remaining Firefighter current state information obtained from the sensor 70

The acquisition unit 110 may acquire basic information indicating the usual state of the firefighter. The obtaining unit 110 may obtain disaster information indicating the state of the disaster site from the monitoring unit 80 that monitors the disaster site to which the firefighter is put. The obtaining unit 110 is a sensor installed in the fire fighting equipment worn by the firefighter. Current information indicating the current state of the firefighters deployed to the disaster site may be obtained from ( 70 ).

The analysis unit 130 may generate alarm information when basic information satisfies a first set value, disaster information satisfies a second set value, or current information satisfies a third set value.

For example, when it is determined that a specific firefighter has a history of a fractured state through basic information, the analysis unit 130 may generate alarm information. In this case, the first set value may include the presence or absence of a medical history. Firefighters who have fractured their arms and the like have difficulty in normal rescue activities and cannot even guarantee their own safety. The alarm information is provided to the setting terminal 10 , and the owner of the setting terminal 10 may block the firefighter from entering the field.

For example, when it is determined that a specific building will collapse within a set time through disaster information, the analysis unit 130 may generate alarm information. In this case, the second set value may include the possibility of collapse of the facility. When a collapse is expected with a high probability, it is desirable to limit field visits to ensure the safety of firefighters. The alarm information generated by the analysis unit 130 may be provided to the setting terminal 10 by the providing unit 150 .

For example, when the distance that a specific firefighter enters from the escape route satisfies the third set value, the analysis unit 130 may generate alarm information. In this case, the third set value may include an evacuation distance that guarantees the safety of firefighters. The alarm information is provided to the setting terminal 10 , and a fire commander or the like in possession of the setting terminal 10 may instruct the firefighter to return without further advancing.

In reality, a direct factor determining a firefighter's dangerous state may be current information of the firefighter corresponding to the second information. No matter how good the basic information and the first information are, when an abnormality is detected in the second information, the analysis unit 130 may immediately generate an alarm signal and alarm information and provide it to the setting terminal 10 .

In order to maximize the safety of the firefighter, the analysis unit 130 may analyze the firefighter's risk state based on current information, and disaster information corresponding to the basic information and the first information may be used as a weight. In other words, the analysis unit 130 may apply at least one of the basic information and the disaster information as a weight to the current information. When the weighted current information satisfies a set value, the analysis unit 130 may analyze the firefighter as dangerous.

According to this embodiment, even if the current information is less than the third set value, the analysis unit 130 determines that the specific firefighter is in the current dangerous state due to the application of the risk weight determined based on the basic information and the risk weight determined based on the disaster information. It can be inferred or analyzed as being in According to the analysis result, the analysis unit 130 may generate alarm information and provide it to the setting terminal 10 .

On the other hand, it is preferable to display the monitoring information of the firefighter in real time in addition to the alarm information on the setting terminal 10 . According to the monitoring information displayed in real time, it is possible to understand how close the condition of a specific firefighter is to the dangerous level and prepare for it.

3 is a schematic diagram showing the level information displayed on the setting terminal (10).

The analysis unit 130 may output the danger state of the firefighter as level information indicating the degree of danger. The providing unit 150 may transmit level information to the setting terminal 10 . The level information transmitted to the setting terminal 10 may be displayed as a graph or a number intuitively indicating how much the firefighter's dangerous state has reached the evacuation situation.

As an example, a context menu m may be displayed on the setting terminal 10 . In the context menu m, level information of the firefighters 1, 2, 3, ... who have been put into disaster sites such as fire, agricultural smoke, collapse, and flooding may be displayed, respectively. The level information may visually represent the state of each firefighter analyzed by the analysis unit 130 based on the basic information and real-time information acquired by the acquisition unit 110 . The level information may be transmitted to the setting terminal 10 by the providing unit 150 .

In the context menu m, the risk level is displayed, and the status of each firefighter can be displayed as a bar graph. When the bar graph reaches the danger level, the situation in which the firefighter is in danger can be intuitively grasped.

In FIG. 3, firefighter 3 is indicated as being in danger. At the level of the analysis device 100 , the alarm information for the firefighter 3 may be generated by the analysis unit 130 , and the alarm information may be transmitted to the setting terminal 10 by the providing unit 150 . Separately, in the context menu m displayed on the setting terminal 10, it may be displayed that the firefighter 3 has exceeded the danger level. The fire commander looking at the setting terminal 10 may immediately recognize a dangerous situation and give the firefighter 3 a retreat command, or instruct the firefighters 1 and 2 around the firefighter 3 to help the firefighter 3 retreat.
