1 is a configuration diagram showing a crew member safety management system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the crew safety management system according to the present invention includes a smart band 100, an AP terminal 200, an operation management unit 300, and an integrated control monitoring unit 400.

First, the smart band 100 is a Bluetooth device capable of transmitting and receiving low-power and low-capacity data using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, and is provided to passengers boarding a ship. At this time, the smart band 100 is provided to the occupant in a state in which the personal information of the occupant is input.

The personal information of the passenger may refer to personal information input by an individual when boarding, and is set so that all personal information is deleted when disembarking.

The smart band 100 may be formed in the form of a band that can be worn on a wrist, for example, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the smart band 100 may include a body temperature sensor and a heart rate sensor to measure health information including body temperature and heart rate of the occupant in a worn state. Accordingly, the self-health care function is possible, and the measured health information can be provided to the occupants.

In addition, the smart band 100 has a wearable pay function capable of paying for inboard use or purchase. To enable this, the smart band 100 includes a near field communication (NFC) module to enable contactless payment.

In addition, the smart band 100 may further include a GPS sensor for determining the current location.

Next, the AP terminal 200 is a communication device necessary to perform Bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication with the smart band 100, and is installed on board to receive a Bluetooth low power signal from the smart band 100 and operate the management unit 300 ) to the side.

At this time, it is preferable that the AP terminal 200 be installed in a certain area so as to cover the communication range within the vessel.

In addition, the AP terminal 200 may be configured to be able to adjust an operation period, transmission rate, communication sensitivity, and the like.

Next, the operation management unit 300 receives Bluetooth low power signals from a plurality of AP terminals 100 installed in a certain area in the ship, and identifies the location of each passenger wearing a smart band through the strength of the received Bluetooth low power signals. perform the function of

Referring to FIG. 2 , the operation management unit 300 will be described in more detail. ) and safety education module 340.

First, the data transmission/reception module 310 serves to perform bidirectional communication and communicates with the AP terminal 200 and an integrated control monitoring unit 400 to be described later.

That is, the data transmission/reception module 310 means to receive low power and low capacity data from the smart band 100 .

Next, the number of passengers counting module 320 serves to automatically count based on the low-power and low-capacity data received from the smart band 100 through the data transmission/reception module 310 .

This means that the passenger boards the ship while wearing (possessing) the smart band 100 in which the passenger's personal information is input before boarding the ship, and at the same time inputs (sensing) the low-power Bluetooth signal received through the AP terminal 200. By doing so, the number of people is counted.

At this time, the smart band 100 has the personal information of the occupants input before boarding the ship, and the occupant counting module 320 stores the personal information of the occupants before boarding the ship. By boarding the ship while wearing (possessing) it, it is possible to check identification information when counting the number of people on board.

Next, the occupant location determination module 330 determines the location of each occupant wearing a smart band based on the Bluetooth low power signals received from the plurality of AP terminals through the strength of the Bluetooth low power signals.

This determines the location of the occupant by recognizing that the specific AP terminal 200 is closer to the specific AP terminal 200 as the Bluetooth Low Energy signal received is stronger.

In general, since a low power Bluetooth signal has a radius of about 10 meters (m), if a signal is received by a specific AP terminal among a plurality of AP terminals 200, it can be determined that the occupant is located within 10 meters of the specific AP terminal.

In order to more accurately determine the location of the occupant, when a low power Bluetooth signal is received by two or more AP terminals 200, the location of the occupant can be accurately determined through a predefined distance calculation algorithm. In order to use such a principle, it is preferable to install a communication coverage range between a plurality of AP terminals 200 to overlap.

The predefined distance calculation algorithm may determine an accurate location by calculating a location direction through an overlapping point of received Bluetooth low power signals and calculating a distance to a specific AP terminal 200 through signal strength.

In addition, the occupant location determination module 330 can determine the location of the occupant using the GPS signal of the smart band 100, and when the location is determined through the low power Bluetooth signal, the GPS location can be reflected and identified. Of course, it can be configured.

In addition, the occupant location detection module 330 is configured to identify the location between floors by confirming the location with a Bluetooth signal between the AP terminals 200.

More specifically, when the occupant's location is determined only by the GPS location, only the flat location can be confirmed, but the location between floors can be identified through the AP terminal 200 installed for each floor. For this, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology is essential.

In addition, the occupant positioning module 330 detects that the received Bluetooth low energy signal is far from a predetermined abnormal distance (or when the signal is lost) as an overboard crash and automatically transmits a GPS signal instead of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal. It is configured to confirm the location through

Next, the safety education module 340 performs a function of providing a separate safety education web page so that passengers can perform safety education by using a personal terminal.

Here, the personal terminal may be understood as including all user clients and applications running on smartphones, tablet PCs, desktops, laptops, and each device, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the safety education web page may be configured to perform facial recognition using a camera installed in the personal terminal, thereby increasing the safety education completion rate by authenticating the occupant through facial recognition.

To explain this in more detail, the safety education web page can be connected through a connection link address set by a passenger using a personal terminal to recognize (photograph) a QR code.

In addition, the safety education module 340 may be configured so that the safety education video is stopped when the occupant does not watch the video for a predetermined time while taking the ship safety education through the personal terminal.

When the face is not recognized by the camera of the personal terminal using the face recognition technology, the safety education module 340 determines that it is not watched. Through this, if the safety education is not watched to the end, it is treated as safety education not completed. Here, the facial recognition technology used is to extract the face region of the photographer using a Haar-like filter, and compare and analyze whether the face extracted through the matching analysis algorithm is the same as the previously stored person in the list of training subjects.

In addition, the operation management unit 300 may further include an occupant's health check module 350 for checking the occupant's health.

The occupant's health checking module 350 receives the occupant's body temperature and heart rate values measured from the smart band 100 .

At this time, the smart band 100 may consume unnecessary power when the body temperature measured through the smart band 100 is 36 degrees and transmits the data measured in real time every time, so that the body temperature If it is out of the set range value, it may be configured to be transmitted to the occupant's health check module 350. In addition, it goes without saying that the heart rate may also be applied according to the same principle.

Through this, indiscriminate data transmission and reception can be prevented, and there is an effect of maximizing the efficiency of low-power Bluetooth (BLE) communication.

Next, the integrated control monitoring unit 400 communicates with the operation management unit 300 and serves to monitor the location of the occupant identified by the operation management unit 300 .

The integrated control monitoring unit 400 may be provided in a control center outside a ship for external monitoring, but is not limited thereto.

3 is a configuration diagram showing an integrated control monitoring unit constituting the crew member safety management system according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, to describe the integrated control monitoring unit 400 in more detail, the integrated control monitoring unit 400 includes a web server 410, an integrated database 420, and a display module 430 and an alert notification module 440 .

First, the web server 410 serves to communicate with the in-ship operation management unit 300 in order to monitor the crew on board the ship from the outside.

That is, the web server 410 transmits and receives data with the data transmission/reception module 310, and receives information on the number of boarding people, location information of passengers, health information of passengers, and the like.

Next, the integrated database 420 performs a function of storing and managing various data such as the aggregation information on boarding people, location information of occupants, and health information of occupants. This is only an example, but is not limited thereto, and various data such as the date and time of receiving a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal can be stored.

Next, the display module 430 is connected to the web server 410 and serves to display so that the person in charge of the integrated control room can visually monitor the aggregation information on boarding people, location information of occupants, and health information of occupants.

For example, the display module 430 displays passengers whose heart rate suddenly increases or whose body temperature is high so that a person in charge can identify them.

Next, the warning notification module 440 serves to immediately send a warning notification to the smart band 100 of the occupant when the occupant approaches the dangerous area (restricted area) during monitoring through the display module 430 by the person in charge. do This may alert the smart band 100 through vibration or sound notification, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, when the low power Bluetooth (BLE) signal of the smart band 100 of the boarding passenger is not received by the AP terminal 200, the warning notification module 440 regards it as drowning or slipping and sounds a notification It consists of

Through this, it is regarded as drowning or slipping, leading to quick rescue operations, and as described above, the occupant positioning module 330 automatically switches from low energy Bluetooth (BLE) signal to GPS signal to determine the position. As a result, there is an effect that initial response can be made quickly during rescue work.

Meanwhile, the integrated control monitoring unit 400 may be configured to receive information on passengers who have not completed the safety training from the safety training module 340 and to identify passengers who have not completed the safety training. Therefore, there is an effect of inducing all occupants to complete the safety education by requesting the completion of the safety education to the passengers by the crew member who has confirmed this.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the above and accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can implement the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features. You will understand that there is Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
