Description

The field of technology

The technical solution concerns a device for wireless communication, management and disinfection of wearable electronics. The technical solution falls into the field of the electrical engineering industry.

Current state of the art

Currently, several methods of data transmission are used for wireless communication, but wireless energy management is not widely spread. A contact connection to the power source is used, often through electromechanical components. Such a solution requires two devices for its functionality. Disinfection of equipment is usually carried out manually, which adversely affects costs and at the same time increases requirements for the safety of workers ensuring disinfection. Nowadays, wearable mobile devices such as mobile phones, laptops, augmented reality devices, virtual reality devices integrated with computing units and display units and wearable units such as watches, glasses, wristbands and others are widespread. The wearable neck computing device of patent document CN112286287A includes a computing unit, an imaging unit, and a non-disinfectant. The computing unit and the display unit are used for data transfer via Wi-Fi/bluetooth/DLNA and can also be powered by a USB cable connection. The computing unit contains a battery module, a data processing module, a wireless communication module and a projection module. The display unit includes a power supply module, a display module and a touch module. The utility model in patent document CN210873733U describes a wearable device for hand disinfection. The wearable hand sanitizer consists of a mounting tape, a base, and a liquid spray device. The disinfection glove is worn on the user's wrist, and the user's hand can be disinfected at any time. The controller can assess the user's hand-raising activity and alert them via an alarm. One of the known methods and systems for supporting hand hygiene compliance is contained in the patent document WO2008119158A1, where a wearable zone sensor detects hand hygiene actions, records the time of changing zones and hand hygiene actions. The wearable sensor may be an integral part of the hand hygiene product dispenser and/or may operate in conjunction with a fixed dispenser configured to transmit hand hygiene activities to the wearable zone sensor.

The essence of the technical solution

The mentioned solutions are mainly limited to the disinfection of hands, while no attention is paid to the disinfection of the wearable electronics themselves. This limitation largely eliminates the wireless communication, management, and disinfection of wearable electronics, which serves as a base station that allows communication, power management, and disinfection of wearable electronics to be performed simultaneously, thereby reducing costs and the potential for worker exposure. The essence of the technical solution is a device consisting of a working chamber in which there is one or more storage areas for inserting wearable electronics. The size and shape of the storages are adapted to the size and shape of wearable electronics. Each repository contains electronics for wireless communication and is connected to management and power electronics, a reservoir for disinfectants, and an imaging unit. The reservoir for disinfectant materials is served by management and power circuits that ensure the supply of disinfectant material from the reservoir and the application of disinfection to the embedded wearable electronics.

When the wearable electronics is inserted into the storage, communication is established with the inserted wearable electronics and charging can be started based on the identified battery status, while the wearable electronics is automatically disinfected. Through management and power circuits, the device communicates with the operator, controls operations with individual storages in the device and is connected to an external power source.

The designed device can therefore be used for wireless communication with one or more wearable electronics devices inserted in the storage, their energy management (battery status check, battery charging), while the inserted wearable electronics can be disinfected directly in the device and thus prepared for reuse.

The technical solution of the device for wireless communication, management and disinfection of wearable electronics is explained in more detail in fig. 1.

Implementation examples

The device for wireless communication, management and disinfection of wearable electronics consists of a cover 1 of the device with dimensions given according to the number of storages 3. In the cover 1 of the device, a working chamber 2 divided into two parts is created. In one part of the working chamber 2 there are one or more storages 3 with different dimensions for inserting wearable electronics. In the second part of the working chamber 2 there are circuits 4 of management and power supply, a display unit 6 for communication with the operator and operations with individual storages 3 in the device and a reservoir 5 for disinfectant materials. The device is connected to an external power source using 4 management and power circuits.

Example

The device for wireless communication, management and disinfection of wearable electronics in the version with nine storages 3 for wearable electronics enables the insertion of nine pieces of wearable electronics in the storages 3 according to their dimensions. After inserting the required number of pieces of wearable electronics, the operator uses the display unit 6 using the management and power supply circuits 4 to identify the inserted wearable electronics. The identification of inserted wearable electronics in individual storages 3 is realized through wireless communication methods (Wifi, bluetooth and others). Part of the identification is also information about the state of the built-in accumulator in the wearable electronics, based on which the 4 management and power circuits will start charging. Disinfection of the inserted wearable electronics takes place after starting or finishing charging, while it is served by the management and power supply circuits 4, which ensure the supply of disinfectant material from the reservoir 5 to the disinfecting materials and the application of disinfection to the inserted wearable electronics so that the ongoing processes of communication and charging are not affected. Communication with individual wearable electronics devices is wireless, as is the method of charging the built-in batteries of wearable electronics. After the end of the operation, the device goes into saving mode and is ready to be used again.

Industrial applicability

The technical solution according to the utility model has a wide range of uses in the national economy. It can be used especially where it is necessary to use wearable electronic devices with a requirement for wireless communication and energy management. The device includes the function of automatic disinfection of inserted wearable electronics, which enables its safe reuse. The use is especially suitable in medical facilities, where the staff is at risk of being exposed to dangerous diseases transmitted by droplet infection or other mechanisms. Another possibility is the use in industry, where personnel use wearable electronics and due to the nature of a large number of employees in one location, there is a risk of transmission of viral and other diseases.
