Description

System for Object Positioning in Indoor Locations and Closed Outdoor Areas within the Coverage Area of a DECT Microcell Network and Online Information Delivery to Objects in Emergency
This technical solution relates to signaling devices, more specifically, devices which signalize the position of a moving object by sending signals to the central station, and can be used for the monitoring of the movement of vehicles, cargoes, passengers and service personnel of vehicles, enterprise personnel, as well as persons whose movement should be controlled.
Known is (RU Patent 2237286) a telematic system for synchronized information transmission comprising a set of terminal devices installed on mobile and/or stationary system units connected via a digital mobile communication network, e.g. GSM, comprising a digital mobile communication network control center, an SMS messaging center and/or a GPRS package messaging, with a control and monitoring center providing for the receipt, accumulation, processing and analysis of messages received from the terminal devices and the generation and transmission of required commands and messages to the terminal devices, wherein each terminal device having a microcontroller and a common local network bus interconnecting a mobile communication digital network transceiver, a satellite positioning system receiver, e.g. a GPS type one, a primary data sensor adapter unit, an analog signal processing unit, an actuator adapter unit and a power unit, is further equipped with a transceiver frame generation unit which is connected via its input/output to the common local network bus and is capable of synchronizing the system frames with the signals received from the satellite positioning system receiver, e.g. a GPS type one, and controlling the time structure of the transceiver system frame for message receipt/transmission from/to mobile and/or stationary system objects, and said control and monitoring center has a common local network bus interconnecting a telematic messaging server, a system frame parameter computer and a control information server, the latter one being interconnected with the mobile communication digital network control center for receiving commands to change the time structure of the message transceiver system frame in the telematic system in response to changes in the load of the digital mobile network in order to ensure the required quality of message transmission via its information channels, and the telematic messaging server is connected to the short messaging center or the GPS system of the digital mobile communication network for the transmission of control commands to the terminal devices.
Disadvantages of the known system are its complexity and the high cost related to the necessity of providing new expensive units.
Known is (RU 2259595) an alarming and positioning system for providing online information to involved persons or special services concerning potential threats to subscribers' safety. The system comprises a subscriber set comprising a mobile GSM phone with a Bluetooth wireless communication module. The phone provides for two-way data exchange via a standard communication and data exchange network with the provider equipment connected to the control center. The subscriber has a hidden panic button and a GPS module each having its individual Bluetooth module which is capable of exchanging data with the Bluetooth module of a mobile phone. Using this set of technical means a subscriber can secretly transmit emergency messages and position data without taking the GSM phone out of the pocket or a bag due to the wireless communication between the GSM phone, the GPS module and the panic button. The control center is capable of cooperating with enforcement bodies.
Disadvantage of the known system is the impossibility of sending subscriber position data to the control center if the SIM card is absent or locked (because standard GSM network data transmission services are used) which significantly reduces system reliability.
Known is (WO Application 99/48070) a monitoring system comprising a set of object units connected to the respective GSM mobile phones the inputs/outputs of which are connected to the monitoring panel via a GSM communication channel and a GSM modem.
Said known monitoring system operates as follows.
The memory of the object units or their access devices provided in the form of GSM phones is preloaded with the monitoring panel phone number as a GSM subscriber to which messages should be sent by dialing or SMS messaging. Similarly, the monitoring panel on the basis of a PC is also preloaded with the GSM mobile phone numbers of the object units as GSM subscribers, and a GSM modem is connected to the monitoring panel. An object unit controls any change in the status of the alarms connected to it. If the status of any of the alarms changes, the object unit activates its GSM mobile phone to dial the monitoring panel GSM modem phone number. The GSM mobile phone attempts dialing and establishing a stable communication channel with the monitoring panel and informs the object unit thereof which then transmits the appropriate messages to the monitoring panel PC via the established communication channel. Upon the receipt and analysis of the message the monitoring panel sends a confirmation message to the object unit confirming normal or abnormal message receipt by establishing communication with the object unit in the reverse order as described above. Moreover, appropriate control commands can be transmitted to the object unit in the form of messages during the communication session initiated by the monitoring panel. The object unit executes the command messages so received by controlling the respective devices connected thereto.
Data transmission in the form of SMS messages between the object units and the monitoring panel in this monitoring system is similar to the procedures described above, the only difference being that the communication is established via the SMS network server of the selected GSM operator.
Disadvantages of the known monitoring system are as follows: messages can be delivered in an unacceptably long time or lost when the SMS server is overloaded; data transmission or receipt confirmation is only possible in point-to-point mode with sequential dialing and communication establishing; there are no permanently connected and controlled communication channels between the monitoring panel and the object units; the system applicability is limited due to the use of only one GSM communication channel and low data security level in the communication channel; impossibility of online operation with a large number of object units; lack of video and audio control, biometric identification and audio alarming facilities.
Knowin is (RU Patent 6674368) a monitoring system based on the use of external global positioning navigation systems such as GPS. A moving object is equipped with an active object identification device such as a transponder, a tag, a RF identifier or a radio mark (these are different names of this type of devices) having periodical communication with a global positioning system and a central tracking station. Precision positioning requires high quality reception of navigation radio signals which is significantly impaired by local topography, structures in metropolitan areas and poor radio permeability of the ambient media for the tag signals. Thus, the precision of moving object tracking in metropolitan areas, especially in megalopolises, is far lower.
Known is (WO Application 0132480) a mobile object monitoring system comprising a GSM transceiver providing for the receipt of object position coordinates signals and the transmission of identification and position signals to the central control station. Said system will only operate reliably in areas where multiple (more than 3) base GSM standard stations of the same operator are located which is not always the case. This condition is met in large megalopolises and highly populated areas. However, in low-populated areas (this is of special importance for Russia) a necessary infrastructure is absent for economic reasons. This fact imposes serious limitations upon the application of said system.
Known is (RU Application 98123169) a control system for the control of multiple mobile objects each of which is equipped with a receipt and response terminal, said system comprising multiple stationary units providing communication with said receipt and response terminals and comprising means for measuring the speed at which each receipt and response terminal moves away from or towards a stationary unit. The receipt and response terminal communication channel capacity is limited, and this imposes a limitation on the critical number of said mobile objects. Normal logics of data processing and interaction between the central unit and the mobile objects requires a complex architecture of unit interaction comparable with GSM network architecture, which is not always practical.
Known is (WO Application 0106401) a mobile object movement and status control system comprising multiple RF identifiers connected to or mounted on the moving objects and interacting with the readers installed in fixed locations at predetermined intervals and transmitting information to the central controller which provides for data analysis to locate and determine the status of the moving objects.
Disadvantage of the known system is the complexity of control infrastructure across long distance movement routes because data transmission from the readers to the remote central station where the information collecting controller is located is a very expensive task which may be economically impractical. Furthermore, data loss may occur if communication quality is poor.
Known also (RU Patent 21 17394) a method and a system for tracking a mobile device. Said method is implemented by generating information on the initial position of said mobile device, transmitting a data message on the initial position of said mobile device from said mobile device, said mobile device receiving a data message describing the boundary of the area falling under the respective jurisdiction, determining when said mobile device goes beyond said boundary and then generating a data message on the current position of said mobile device. Said known system comprises said mobile device and a control device, wherein said mobile device comprises a position sensor, a transceiver, a memory module and a processor connected to said position sensor, said transceiver and said memory module, and said control device comprises a transceiver for data exchange with the transceiver of said mobile device, a memory module and a processor connected to said transceiver and a control unit.
Disadvantage of the known technical solution is its large scale: it can only be operated efficiently in large areas.
The object of the technical solution provided herein is to allow the positioning of moving objects either indoors or outdoors.
It is suggested to achieve said technical result by using the system developed herein for object positioning in indoor locations and closed outdoor areas within the coverage area of a DECT microcell network and online information delivery to objects in emergency. The system developed herein comprises at least one personal signaling and rescue device operating in the DECT and RFID standards and made in the form of a plastic case containing a common circuit board comprising a DECT signal processor connected to a vibration alarm, a light alarm, a DECT radio module, a motion/falling detector and a power circuit which in turn comprise a common charging circuit, a power battery, a data display and at least one commercial computer that functions as a visualization server and provides for data displaying and object coordinate tie-in with the route chart or open space, the software of said computer being capable of processing signals received from said signaling and rescue devices connected via an OAP protocol to the message server of a DECT IMS2, UP AC or UCM network. Said signaling and rescue device is preferably mounted on a moving object which is preferably a person, more specifically, on his/her clothes, headpiece or waist belt, and said commercial computer is placed at a system operator's workstation. If multiple commercial computers are used in the system, said commercial computers are connected via Ethernet using the TCP/IP protocol. Said plastic case preferably has at least the IP65 safety class. This category provides for protection from mechanical impacts and long-term water exposure. The system may further comprise a batch charging device for the charging and storage of personal DECT signaling and rescue devices, said batch charging device being in the form of a plastic case comprising a common circuit board with power batteries mounted thereon and connected to the pole inversion protection device and an induction charging circuit. Normally the case of said batch charging device comprises at least ten dedicated compartments for the charging and storage of personal DECT signaling and rescue devices each of said compartments comprising an individual charging system being a contact-free induction circuit. Said system may further comprise computer-aided workstations for the dispatching and accounting the DECT signaling and rescue devices, each of said workstations being in the form of a personal computer operating the Linux operating system and connected to an RFID technology reading/writing terminal. Preferably, said system is capable of operation either outdoors or indoors or inside vehicles where a DECT microcell network is deployed. Preferably, said signaling and rescue devices detect the level of the signal which is received from the DECT base station, processed by the DECT signal processor comprised in each signaling and rescue device and transmitted via DECT network service channels to the message processing server connected via the TCP/IP protocol with the visualization server. In one of the embodiments, said signaling and rescue devices comprise at least mutually compatible DECT radio emitter and RFID radio emitter. Normally, a DECT standard microcell network comprises at least two synchronized TCP/IP protocol DECT base stations that are connected to a local network via the Ethernet, support the same network parameters for the identification of DECT mobile terminals and signaling and rescue devices and allowing for uninterrupted conversation while moving the DECT terminal between the coverage areas of two adjacent DECT base stations. Said system may comprise up to 100,000 DECT base stations interconnected with local and global data networks and having similar parameters. Said signaling and rescue device is preferably capable of supporting DECT standard data transmission either from the device or to the device so that to allow the transmission of status and position data from said signaling and rescue device and the transmission of various commands to said signaling and rescue device as may be required for controlling on-site personnel activity in case of emergency or otherwise. The display is preferably a text one. Said signaling and rescue device can be capable of measuring the signal level received by the signaling and rescue device location point from at least three DECT base stations with predetermined on-site locations and transmitting the signal measurement readings via DECT voice or service channels to the server controller by the Linux operating system and running an application for object positioning based on such data.. This functionality allows calculating the relative position of a signaling and rescue device within a DECT coverage area and display its position using the visualization server.
Preferably said signaling and rescue device comprises an RFID technology wireless identifier capable of identifying, detecting and modifying the properties of a signaling and rescue device during its passage and positioning in the RFID coverage area and using the signaling and rescue device as an identifier in RFID technology access control systems. This allows combining the functions of a signaling and rescue device and an access device, e.g. a card, in one case. When deployed at industrial premises, said system operates as follows. An object, preferably, an employee, receives a signaling and rescue device upon the commencement of his/her work. The task of dispatching and accounting the signaling and rescue devices is then charged upon the enterprise access control department. Upon dispatching a signaling and rescue device the access control department officer activates the signaling and rescue device by passing it through an RFID data reader. Upon activation, the signaling and rescue device starts emitting information on the signal level received from at least three DECT base stations which will be periodically but at least once in 30 seconds transmitted via the service channels to the message processing server and the visualization server connected to it. The visualization server has special software for the tie-in of the position of each signaling and rescue device with the floor diagram of the premises. At the end of the working day the signaling and rescue device should be returned for deactivation and recharging.
The use of the system provided herein allows positioning mobile objects either indoors or outdoors. The system provided herein can be used in various human activity areas.
