Description

Outdoor activity emergency system

This invention is related to the technical field of a rescue system, especially an outdoor activity rescue system that can be used by users to survive in the event of an emergency during outdoor activities.

Mountaineering and sea activities are very common forms of leisure for people. However, climate change in mountains and seas is difficult to predict, often causing shipwrecks and mountain accidents, which increases the risk of these activities. Therefore, when carrying out these leisure activities, in addition to planning a good way to escape, you must also prepare contingency measures for various emergencies.

In case of emergency, besides having life-sustaining food, drinking water and warming equipment, a device for calling for help is indispensable, especially in the harsh environment of mountainous areas or at sea. The signal of mobile phone devices is very weak or even no signal due to the location of the base station. It may also be damaged or unusable due to lack of power due to environmental factors. Radio devices are common survival devices that can send signals through wireless communication, but they are easily interfered with by terrain or obstacles, making it impossible to send and receive signals smoothly.

Signal flares are a common survival device used to alert rescuers to their location. However, signal flares are expensive and have the disadvantages of not being able to call for help for a long time, being difficult to be discovered during the day, and rescuers being unable to accurately grasp their location.

In summary, the creator of this work has many years of experience in manufacturing, developing and designing related products. Aiming at the above-mentioned goal, he designed an outdoor activity rescue system to improve the deficiencies of existing technologies and thus promote its implementation and utilization in the industry.

The mini unmanned aerial device includes a GPS unit, a signal transmitting unit and a second processing unit. The GPS unit is configured to generate a distress location signal according to the current location of the mini unmanned aerial device. The signal transmitting unit is configured to transmit the distress location signal to a predetermined receiving unit. The second processing unit is configured to control the operation of the GPS unit and the signal transmitting unit.

Preferably, the wearable electronic device further comprises a positioning unit; the positioning unit is configured to generate a user location signal according to the current location of the wearable electronic device.

As shown in the figure, the first embodiment of the present invention provides an outdoor activity rescue system 1, which includes a wearable electronic device 10 and a mini drone 20.

The wearable electronic device 10 may be a watch for wearing on the user's hand. Its main structure is well known to those with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field, and will not be described in detail here. The wearable electronic device 10 includes a display unit 11, a physiological parameter sensing unit 12, and a first processing unit 13. The first processing unit 13 is configured to control the operation of the display unit 11 and the physiological parameter sensing unit 12.

It can increase the probability of users being rescued in mountainous areas and at sea.

Please refer to Figure 2, which is a block diagram of the second embodiment of the outdoor activity rescue system of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the second embodiment of the present invention provides an outdoor activity rescue system 1, which includes a wearable electronic device 10 and a mini drone 20.

In this embodiment, the wearable electronic device 10 further includes a positioning unit 14, a communication unit 15 and a three-axis sensing unit 16.

Furthermore, the positioning unit 14 is configured to generate a user position signal 141 according to the current position of the wearable electronic device 10. The communication unit 15 is configured to directly or indirectly transmit the user position signal 141 and the physiological parameter signal 121 to the remote electronic device 92 via the user's portable electronic device 91.

In this way, the outdoor activity rescue system of this invention can continuously or intermittently provide the user's location to the outside through the configuration of the wearable electronic device. Therefore, the search and rescue personnel can conduct search and rescue operations based on the location of the last signal, thereby greatly increasing the user's chance of being rescued.

In addition, the first processing unit 13 generates a notification signal 131 when it determines that the user has abnormal dynamics according to the signal detected by the three-axis sensing unit 16, and the communication unit 15 is configured to directly or indirectly transmit the notification signal 131 and the physiological parameter signal 121 to the remote electronic device 92 through a portable electronic device 91.

Furthermore, when the first processing unit 13 determines that the user has an abnormal movement, the first processing unit 13 receives a cancellation signal 101 within a predetermined time, and then the first processing unit 13 controls the communication unit 15 to stop transmitting the notification signal 131 and the physiological parameter signal 121 to the remote electronic device 92. The cancellation signal 101 can be generated by the user through a physical button on the wearable electronic device 10, so as to avoid the user notifying or sending out a call for help when the abnormal situation may be only a minor one that can be handled by the user.

Thus, the outdoor activity rescue system of this invention can proactively notify friends or relatives when the user falls, etc., through the configuration of wearable electronic devices, so that relevant personnel can be notified to come to the rescue in a short time.

In addition, in different embodiments, the wearable electronic device 10 can be electrically connected to the mini drone 20 to trigger the mini drone 20 to take off and enable the wearable electronic device 10 to send relevant signals through the mini drone 20.

The mini unmanned aerial device 20 further includes an LED module 24, which is configured to emit a high-brightness light. Preferably, the LED module 24 includes four LED units 241, which are respectively located on the four sides (e.g., front, back, left, and right) of the mini unmanned aerial device 20 to emit the high-brightness light from four directions.

The LED unit 241 has the advantages of small size, light weight, power saving, and high light intensity. When installed on the mini drone 20, the mini drone 20 can be easily found, thereby increasing the user's chance of being rescued.

In summary, the outdoor activity rescue system of this invention can allow users to understand their own physiological conditions through the configuration of wearable electronic devices, and can continuously or intermittently provide the user's location to the outside, which can greatly increase the user's chance of being rescued. The outdoor activity rescue system of this invention can effectively improve the shortcomings of the known rescue devices that may be easily interfered with by terrain or obstacles, resulting in the inability to send and receive signals smoothly, being difficult to be discovered, and the inability of search and rescue personnel to accurately grasp their location, etc. in harsh environments, and can increase the user's chance of being rescued in mountainous areas and at sea.
