Description

The invention relates to the field of devices providing the convenience of performing prayers.

A device for prayer is known, which contains a body, keys, a display that displays the direction of Mecca, information processing tools, as well as batteries. [US 5546310, priority date: 04/23/1992, publication date: September 13, 1996, IPC: G01C 17/30].

A device for prayer, which contains a housing, a means of input, output and processing of information, as well as batteries. In this case, the display of information about the direction to Mecca is provided through the display. [WO 8501805, priority date: 10/11/1983, publication date: 04/25/1985, IPC: G04G 9/00].

As a prototype, a prayer device was selected that includes a housing, means for displaying information about the direction to Mecca, input, output and processing information, and batteries, while the means for displaying information about the direction to Mecca is represented by a display. [US 2009087825, priority date: September 28, 2007, publication date: April 2, 2009, IPC: G09B 19/00].

A common disadvantage of the known devices is the low reliability and high energy consumption of the means for displaying information about the direction to Mecca, since it is represented by a display that is quite fragile and consumes a large amount of electricity. In case of mechanical damage or display defect, the user may completely lose the ability to receive information about the direction to Mecca, which significantly reduces the reliability of the device as a whole.

The technical problem to which the utility model is directed is to increase the reliability of the device for prayers.

The technical result, which the utility model aims to achieve, is to reduce the likelihood of failure of the device for prayer.

The essence of the utility model is as follows.

The prayer device comprises a housing, a power element, a means for displaying information about a direction to Mecca, an information input means including a sensor for counting racquets, and means for outputting and processing information. Unlike the prototype, the means for displaying information about the direction to Mecca contains an LED indicator of relative north and an element pointing to Mecca when combining relative north with true, and the sensor for counting raccoons is non-contact.

True north is information about a fixed direction relative to the location coordinates of the device user. Moreover, as a fixed direction, any fixed direction can be selected, for example, any of the cardinal points, in particular, north can be selected. At the same time, a compass can be used to determine the direction of the true north.

Relative north is information about true north relative to the direction to Mecca, while the direction to Mecca is also fixed relative to the coordinate of the current location of the device user.

The element pointing to Mecca is intended to determine the direction in which it is necessary to carry out the prayer, while combining the relative north with the true one. An element pointing to Mecca can be implemented in any known manner that allows you to uniquely determine the indicated direction. An element pointing to Mecca may be a design feature of the device, or a separate part of the device, or a visual element on the device.

The design feature of the device can be a special shape of the body, which can be interpreted as a direction indicator, in particular, it can be the shape of a polygon having a distinguished side or vertex, for example, a triangle, a trapezoid, etc.

A separate part of the device may be a means of input or output of information, for example, a keyboard, screen or speaker, as well as other details having a shape that allows you to determine the direction.

The visual element on the device may be an arrow, notch or sticker indicating the direction.

Also, any part of the case indicated by the manufacturer in the device instructions and not having any visual features, for example, the front side of the device, can act as an element pointing to Mecca.

The relative north LED indicator provides information on the change in the angle between the direction of the true north and the direction to Mecca when changing the current coordinate of the user's location of the device. In particular, the LED indicator of relative north displays information about true north, provided that the element pointing to Mecca points in the right direction. If the LED indicator of relative north indicates a direction that does not coincide with true north, then the device for prayer should be placed so that the direction indicated by the LED pointer coincides with true north, in which case the element pointing to Mecca will point in the right direction.

The LED indicator of the relative north can be an LED strip or a set of LEDs of any size and color. In this case, the LED strip or LEDs can be installed in the form of an arrow, ring, scale, or any other known method that allows you to determine the direction.

The information input means is intended for the user to enter data into the device and includes a non-contact sensor for counting rakats, which can be represented by an inductive, capacitive or optical sensor. At the same time, to ensure the convenience of prayer, the sensor can be located in the part of the building opposite the direction of the element pointing to Mecca. Also, to ensure the convenience of prayer, the raccoon counting element can be a contact sensor, which can be made separate from the device and connected to it using a cable. The input means may include keys and a microphone.

Keys and a microphone provide the ability for the user to enter data, for example, choosing a city, location coordinates, prayer times, choosing a method for calculating prayer times, or other data.

The information output tool is designed to convert information into a form convenient for user perception. The means of outputting information may be a display and / or speaker, and provide the ability to alert the user about the number of rakahs performed, the correctness and time of the prayer or other information.

The information processing tool is designed to convert information using the selected calculation algorithm. The data processing means receives information about the coordinates of the user's location and sends a signal to the corresponding LED indicator of the relative north indicator. The information processing means may be an integrated circuit with a processor or microcontroller.

The information processing means may have an internal memory in which the location coordinates data and relative north indication information in accordance with the location coordinates can be stored, or these data can be stored on additional information storage means, which can be a magnetic disk, flash drive card, etc.

The body of the prayer device provides protective functions and can be of any shape or size. The housing may be made of metallic, non-metallic or composite structural materials.

The battery ensures the operability of the device. The battery may be a battery pack, solar panels and / or the device may be equipped with a rectifier and be able to connect to an electrical household network.

Additionally, to ensure the convenience of determining the true north, the prayer device may be provided with a pointer to the true north, which may be a compass placed, for example, in the center of the LED indicator of the relative north. In this case, the compass can be removable, it is not a mandatory part of the device, but simply can be installed on the plane of the device.

The utility model possesses a set of essential features previously unknown from the prior art, characterized in that the means for displaying information about the direction to Mecca contains an LED indicator of relative north and an element pointing to Mecca when combining relative north with true, and the sensor for counting raccoons is non-contact. Due to its simplicity of design, the LED indicator has high reliability and a long service life, in addition, due to the use of LEDs, it consumes a small amount of electric current, and in case of failure of one of the LEDs, the remaining LEDs will remain operational, which allows to achieve a technical result , which consists in reducing the likelihood of failure of the device for prayer, increasing the reliability of the device for prayer.

The presence of new distinctive essential features indicates the compliance of the utility model with the patentability criterion of “novelty”.

The utility model can be made of known materials using known means, which indicates the compliance of the utility model with the patentability criterion of "industrial applicability".

The utility model is illustrated by the following drawings.

FIG. 1 - A device for prayer to combine the signs of the true and relative north.

FIG. 2 - A device for prayer, the front of which indicates the direction of Mecca when combining the signs of true and relative north.

FIG. 3 - A device for the prayer, made in the form of an arrow indicating the direction to Mecca when combining the signs of true and relative north.

FIG. 4 - A device for prayers, the dynamics of which are made in the form of arrows indicating the direction to Mecca when combining the pointer of true and relative north.

FIG. 5 - A device for prayer with a point on the body indicating the direction to Mecca when combining the pointer of true and relative north.

The prayer device consists of a building 1, an LED indicator 2 of the relative north, a pointer 3 of the true north, an element 4 indicating the direction to Mecca, an input means of information, which is a key 5 and a non-contact sensor 6 for counting perfect racquets, a means of outputting information, which is display 7 and speaker 8.

The utility model works as follows.

The prayer device notifies the user of the time for the prayer by means of the speaker 8, after which the user selects the coordinates of the current location using the keys 5 on the display 7. On the LED indicator 2 of the relative north, an LED lights up, allowing you to determine the necessary position of the device for prayer relative to the pointer 3 of the true north. Moreover, the angle a between the pointer 2 of the relative north and the element 4 pointing to Mecca depends on the selected coordinates of the current location. The device is rotated until the LED indicator 2 of the relative north is combined with the pointer 3 of the true north, and the element 4 indicating the direction to Mecca determines the direction of the prayer. After 30 seconds, the relative north indication is turned off. The device for prayer through the sensor 6 reads the perfect rak'ah and displays their number on the display 7.

Thus, the presence of the LED indicator of the relative north allows you to achieve a technical result, which consists in reducing the likelihood of failure of the device for prayers, increasing its reliability.
