Description

Dispositif d'appel de détresse. Distress call device.
La présente invention concerne les dispositifs d'appel à distance et se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif d'appel de détresse destiné à demander une aide d'urgence à un interlocuteur prédéterminé.The present invention relates to remote calling devices and relates more particularly to a distress calling device intended to request emergency assistance from a predetermined interlocutor.
Un appel de détresse requiert de la part de la personne qui demande assistance d'une part, une certaine maîtrise de soi pour utiliser un moyen d'appel, par exemple en composant un numéro de téléphone et d'autre part, de disposer à portée de main d'un tel moyen d'appel.A distress call requires on the part of the person requesting assistance on the one hand, a certain self-control to use a means of call, for example by dialing a telephone number and on the other hand, to have within range of hand of such a ground of appeal.
Bien que le téléphone mobile apporte en partie une solution au problème précité, il constitue un moyen d'appel relativement coûteux. En revanche, le sang froid d'une personne ayant besoin d'une aide urgente n'est ni contrôlable, ni quantifiable, de sorte que le seul moyen pour qu'une telle personne en difficulté parvienne à demander de l'aide, est de faire appel à une réaction réflexe de cette personne.Although the mobile phone provides part of the solution to the above problem, it is a relatively expensive means of calling. On the other hand, the coolness of a person in need of urgent help is neither controllable nor quantifiable, so that the only way for such a person in difficulty to manage to ask for help, is to call for a reflex reaction from that person.
L'invention vise donc à créer un dispositif d'appel à distance qui tout en étant d'un faible prix de revient, soit facile à utiliser par une personne en difficulté.The invention therefore aims to create a remote calling device which, while being of low cost, is easy to use by a person in difficulty.
Elle a donc pour objet un dispositif d'appel de détresse comprenant un émetteur-récepteur associé à une antenne et des moyens de composition d'un numéro d'appel en vue de l'établissement d'une ligne de communication avec un correspondant et une source d'alimentation de l'emetteur-récepteur et des moyens de composition, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de composition comprennent une mémoire morte dans laquelle est stocké le numéro d'appel d'un seul correspondant ainsi qu'un interrupteur de marche-arrêt de la source d'alimentation du dispositif dont l'actionnement provoque en même temps que l'ali- mentation du dispositif, l'émission par celui-ci de signaux d'appel du seul correspondant.It therefore relates to a distress call device comprising a transceiver associated with an antenna and means for dialing a call number for the establishment of a communication line with a correspondent and a power source of the transceiver and the dialing means, characterized in that the dialing means include a read-only memory in which is stored the call number of a single correspondent as well as an on-off switch shutdown of the device's power source, the actuation of which causes the device to send call signals from the only party at the same time as the power supply to the device.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels : - la Fig.1 est un schéma synoptique d'un dispositif d'appel de détresse suivant l'invention; etThe invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which: - Fig.1 is a block diagram of a device for distress call according to the invention; and
- la Fig.2 est un schéma d'un dispositif de programmation du dispositif d'appel de la Fig.1.- Fig.2 is a diagram of a programming device of the call device of Fig.1.
FEUILLE DE REMPLACEMENT {REGLE 26) Sur la figure 1 , on a représenté un dispositif d'appel de détresse qui comporte une mémoire 1 du type EPROM ou PAL, de stockage d'un numéro d'appel de l'interlocuteur ou correspondant devant intervenir pour porter assistance au possesseur du dispositif d'appel. La mémoire 1 est connectée à un circuit 2 de mise en forme des signaux à transmettre qui est connecté à son tour à un circuit d'alimentation 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit 5 de remise à zéro.SUBSTITUTE SHEET {RULE 26) In FIG. 1, a distress call device has been represented which comprises a memory 1 of the EPROM or PAL type, for storing a call number of the interlocutor or correspondent having to intervene to provide assistance to the owner of the device call. The memory 1 is connected to a circuit 2 for shaping the signals to be transmitted which is in turn connected to a supply circuit 3 via a reset circuit 5.
Le circuit 5 de remise à zéro est actionné par un bouton 6 de marche- arrêt qui commande simultanément la marche et l'arrêt du circuit d'alimentation 3. Une lampe 7 connectée au circuit d'alimentation 3 assure le test de la batterie du circuit d'alimentation.The reset circuit 5 is actuated by an on / off button 6 which simultaneously controls the start and stop of the supply circuit 3. A lamp 7 connected to the supply circuit 3 tests the battery of the power circuit.
Au circuit de mise en forme sont en outre associés un microphone 8 et un haut-parleur 9, tandis qu'à la mémoire EPROM 1 est associé un écran d'affichage 12 destiné à indiquer le numéro de l'interlocuteur appelé. Le circuit 2 de mise en forme des signaux est connecté par un circuitThe shaping circuit is also associated with a microphone 8 and a loudspeaker 9, while with the EPROM memory 1 is associated a display screen 12 intended to indicate the number of the called party. Signal shaping circuit 2 is connected by a circuit
14 de codage/décodage de l'information connecté à son tour à un émetteur/récepteur 15 pourvu d'une antenne 16.14 for coding / decoding information connected in turn to a transmitter / receiver 15 provided with an antenna 16.
Un cordon 17 est prévu pour relier la mémoire 1 à un dispositif de programmation qui sera décrit en référence à la figure 2. Le fonctionnement du dispositif d'appel de détresse est le suivant.A cord 17 is provided for connecting the memory 1 to a programming device which will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The operation of the distress call device is as follows.
La mise en service est assurée par enfoncement du bouton 6 de marche-arrêt.Commissioning is ensured by pressing the on / off button 6.
Cette mise en service provoque l'alimentation du circuit 2 de mise en forme des signaux qui transfère immédiatement vers l'emetteur-récepteur 15 par l'intermédiaire du circuit de codage/décodage 14, le signal stocké dans la mémoire EPROM 1 et établit ainsi la communication avec l'interlocuteur sélectionné à l'avance lors de l'acquisition de l'appareil et de sa mise à la disposition de l'utilisateur.This commissioning causes the supply of the signal shaping circuit 2 which immediately transfers to the transceiver 15 via the coding / decoding circuit 14, the signal stored in the EPROM memory 1 and thus establishes communication with the contact selected in advance when acquiring the device and making it available to the user.
Bien entendu, l'établissement de la communication est assuré sur l'un des réseaux nationaux et internationaux disponible par les téléphones portables.Of course, communication is established on one of the national and international networks available by mobile phones.
Le circuit électronique du dispositif est avantageusement réalisé sous la forme d'une puce électronique du même type que celle d'un téléphone portable sans nécessité d'affectation d'un numéro et simplifiée à l'extrême et dotée d'un circuit à mémoire programmable du type EPROM ou PAL par l'intermédiaire duquel est introduit le numéro unique susceptible d'être contacté.The electronic circuit of the device is advantageously produced in the form of an electronic chip of the same type as that of a mobile telephone without the need to assign a number and simplified to the extreme and endowed with a programmable memory circuit of the EPROM or PAL type through which the unique number which can be contacted is entered.
Ce circuit programmable est conçu soit comme figé définitivement, soit comme reprogrammable en fonction de l'utilisation du dispositif. Sur la figure 2, on a représenté un mode de réalisation du dispositif sous sa forme reprogrammable associé à un dispositif de programmation.This programmable circuit is designed either as permanently frozen or as reprogrammable depending on the use of the device. In Figure 2, there is shown an embodiment of the device in its reprogrammable form associated with a programming device.
Il comporte un boîtier 20 contenant l'ensemble des éléments du circuit de la figure 1 et connecté par un cordon de liaison amovible 21 à un programmateur 22. Le programmateur est un appareil fixe situé chez les distributeurs du dispositif au grand public.It comprises a box 20 containing all the elements of the circuit of FIG. 1 and connected by a removable connecting cord 21 to a programmer 22. The programmer is a fixed device located at the distributors of the device to the general public.
La programmation est assurée par un clavier 24 muni de touches numériques 25, d'une touche de validation 26, d'une touche de correction 27, par effacement de la dernière valeur entrée et d'une touche de mise sous tension 28. II comporte enfin un écran 29 d'affichage du numéro programmé à stocker dans la mémoire 1 du dispositif d'appel (Fig1).Programming is ensured by a keyboard 24 provided with numeric keys 25, a validation key 26, a correction key 27, by erasing the last value entered and a power-on key 28. It comprises finally a screen 29 for displaying the programmed number to be stored in the memory 1 of the calling device (FIG. 1).
Le boîtier du dispositif peut prendre plusieurs aspects.The housing of the device can take several aspects.
Il peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'un simple bouton de manoeuvre lorsque le dispositif est inséré dans le tableau de bord d'un véhicule automobile, ou bien lorsque le dispositif est inclus dans une montre ou dans un pendentif pour un malade, sous la forme d'un contact dédié à la fonction d'appel.It can for example be in the form of a simple operating button when the device is inserted into the dashboard of a motor vehicle, or else when the device is included in a watch or in a pendant for a patient, in the form of a contact dedicated to the call function.
De façon avantageuse, le bouton de déclenchement du dispositif doit être à l'abri des chocs aléatoires de la vie active. Une telle technique est couramment utilisée dans les montres dans lesquelles les accès aux réglages sont protégés.Advantageously, the trigger button of the device must be sheltered from random shocks of working life. Such a technique is commonly used in watches in which access to the settings is protected.
On peut par exemple prévoir pour le bouton de manoeuvre un action- nement temporisé avec une temporisation de l'ordre d'une seconde, ce qui permet d'éliminer la réaction du dispositif à la majeure partie des chocs courants.One can for example provide for the operating button a timed actuation with a delay of the order of one second, which makes it possible to eliminate the reaction of the device to most of the current shocks.
L'alimentation du dispositif en énergie électrique est assurée par une pile autonome rechargeable ou non.The device is supplied with electrical energy by an autonomous or rechargeable battery.
La consommation au repos détermine la durée de vie de l'alimentation. Le contacteur unique associé au caractère unidirectionnel de l'initiative de la part du détenteur du dispositif ne nécessite pas l'attribution d'un numéro standard au sens où on l'entend dans le domaine de la téléphonie mobile. Un simple identifiant élémentaire permettra la facturation de l'appel et éventuellement l'identification de l'appelant sans que celui-ci puisse dissimuler l'information.Consumption at rest determines the life of the food. The single contactor associated with the unidirectional nature of the initiative on the part of the holder of the device does not require the allocation of a standard number in the sense understood in the field of mobile telephony. A simple elementary identifier will allow billing of the call and possibly identification of the caller without the latter being able to conceal the information.
L'alarme de détresse individuelle ne fonctionne qu'à l'initiative du por- teur du dispositif.The individual distress alarm only works on the initiative of the wearer of the device.
Une fois la mise sous tension assurée par l'interrupteur 6, la séquence d'appel du numéro programmé à l'avance se déroule automatiquement par transmission du numéro stocké dans la mémoire 1 par le circuit de codage/ décodage 14, l'émetteur récepteur 15 et l'antenne 16. Le numéro en question est celui d'un correspondant qui, à l'origine, a accepté que son numéro soit le destinataire final et que la communication soit facturée sur son compte.Once the power is supplied by switch 6, the call sequence for the number programmed in advance takes place automatically by transmission of the number stored in memory 1 by the coding / decoding circuit 14, the transceiver 15 and antenna 16. The number in question is that of a correspondent who originally accepted that his number be the final recipient and that the call be billed to his account.
Le destinataire accepte de prendre à sa charge les frais afférents à l'utilisation de sa ligne. Le coût de la communication importe peu dans la mesure où l'utilisation du dispositif d'appel ne doit logiquement intervenir que dans des situations d'urgence ne nécessitant qu'un temps de connexion limité.The recipient agrees to bear the costs relating to the use of his line. The cost of the communication does not matter insofar as the use of the call device must logically intervene only in emergency situations requiring only a limited connection time.
Dans la mesure où le dispositif n'est alimenté qu'au moment de son utilisation, une pile de petit format suffit amplement pour des petits appareils mo- biles.Since the device is only powered at the time of use, a small battery is more than enough for small mobile devices.
L'affichage du numéro programmé sur l'écran 12 permet une identification du destinataire de l'appel provoqué par la mise en service du dispositif et par voie de conséquence, une identification indirecte du porteur du dispositif dans le cas où il ne serait pas en mesure de s'identifier lui-même, par exemple du fait qu'il vient d'être victime d'un accident sur la voie publique.The display of the programmed number on screen 12 makes it possible to identify the recipient of the call caused by the commissioning of the device and consequently, an indirect identification of the wearer of the device in the event that he is not in able to identify himself, for example from the fact that he has just been the victim of an accident on the public highway.
Les applications du dispositif d'appel de détresse suivant l'invention sont très nombreuses et peuvent comprendre des applications à la vie familiale, des applications médicales. Ce dispositif peut également être utile dans la police, la gendarmerie, par les pompiers et les garagistes. The applications of the distress call device according to the invention are very numerous and can include applications in family life, medical applications. This device can also be useful in the police, the gendarmerie, by firefighters and garage owners.
