RU51508U1 - BELT BEACON - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to rescue equipment, especially to devices for searching and identifying a person. The essence of the invention lies in the permanent placement of the beacon belt (PM) on the body of the carrier, which provides immediate identification of the body due to the presence on the PM of a code device (token) with personal data. In the case of the execution of the code device in the form of a microchip with a personality code, the victim is detected using a signal from a radio device that initiates a response signal from the microchip. Thus, the victim is identified and identified in real time with high reliability. Achieve this result by making a beacon belt in the form of a shell with fasteners, with which it is mounted on the body. The shell contains a code device (token, nameplate, microchip), a radio transmitter with a power source and an antenna. The PM located on the carrier’s body provides both detection and identification of the victim. Coding the type of microchip power source (from body heat, from exposure to water, fire, built-in) allows you to have additional information about the condition and location of the victim. The economic and humanitarian justification for the use of PM is undeniable in view of the growing global scale of emergency situations, the need for prompt identification of victims, excluding DNA testing, and the need for urgent notification of loved ones about search results for victims. Additional elements (microphone, shock sensor ...) will provide additional information about abducted, hostages, missing children.

Description

The invention relates to rescue equipment, especially to devices for searching and identifying a person.

Known beacon TFA2000, which is a hard shell-casing with a radio transmitting device located therein emitting a radio signal, the perception of which allows you to establish the location of the victim. The lighthouse is equipped with an antenna, a power source.

It is assumed that the beacon is located near the device carrier or on the carrier.

The disadvantages of the known beacon are the absence in the code of the radio signal of the beacon carrier’s data (the beacon may belong to any carrier), the beacon is not physically connected to the carrier (localizes only its location), the mass and dimensions of the device exclude its location on the carrier’s body.

The invention:

- in ensuring the permanent placement of the belt-beacon (PM) on the body of the carrier,

- in the constant presence of a personal carrier code in the radio signal or on the PM token.

The proposal is illustrated in the figure, where figure 1 shows:

Fragment of the shell of a belt-lighthouse.

An attachment element for a beacon belt on a carrier body.

3. Code device.

4. Radio transmitting device.

5. Antenna.

6. Power source.

In the shell 1 with fastening elements 2 (fasteners, buckles), a code device 3 (token, nameplate, microchip), as well as a radio transmitting device 4 with an antenna 5 and a power supply 6 are placed.

The shell 1 is made of soft material (polyethylene; maybe in a decorative braid), which does not cause an unpleasant sensation in the wearer.

Code device 3 must be resistant to external adverse conditions.

Antenna 5 is embedded in the shell 1 in the form of a thread.

Source 6 can work from body heat, from an external source of heat (fire), from exposure to water.

The lighthouse belt works as follows.

The carrier (any resident of the country) puts on the PM (encircles the shell 1, securing it with clasps 2) and goes on business (including sleep).

In the event of an emergency (natural or artificial origin), the PM located on the waist of the carrier is likely to remain in the area of the victim.

When a body is detected, identifying a person by token 3 (nameplate) is not difficult and there is no need for DNA analysis.

When the body is in the search zone not accessible at the first moment, it is possible to supply an external initiating radio signal to the microchip 3, in response to which the radio transmitter 4 through the antenna 5 transmits information about the personality and condition of the victim. Programming a microchip 3 for such an operation is not difficult.

Power supply 6 as an integrated element is encoded by one signal, power from body heat - by another, from an element that is activated when exposed to moisture - by the third. So you can get primary information about the location of the victim, and about his condition.

If necessary, microchip 3 may contain a shock sensor, microphone, ... which will facilitate the search for stolen, missing.

The advantages of the proposed beacon belt:

- a high probability of the location of the signal device exactly where the victim is,

- high reliability of the identification of the victim,

- the absence of the need for expensive operations to search for and identify the victim (including the results of DNA analysis).

A simplified version of the PM may contain only a token (nameplate).

PM can be made in the form of a bracelet or necklace, but in these cases the probability of physical separation of the code device from the victim’s body increases.

The manufacture of a lighthouse belt does not present technological difficulties.

The economic feasibility of using PM is undeniable, given the scale of emergency situations and the costs, first of all, of searching and identifying the victims.

Claims (1)

A beacon belt containing a shell with a code device and a radio transmitter with a power source and an antenna, characterized in that the shell is made of soft material, is equipped with fasteners on the body, and the code device contains a personal code for the carrier of the beacon belt.
