Description

Notruf -Schuh  Emergency call shoe
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Notruf-Schuh zur Ortung des Standortes mit einem GSM-Sender und einem GSM-Empfänger. The present invention relates to an emergency call shoe for locating the location with a GSM transmitter and a GSM receiver.
Heutzutage können eine Vielzahl von Notsituationen eintreten, wie beispielsweise Unfälle (im Straßenverkehr, Flugzeugen, Zügen), Brände, Straftaten (Entführungen, Raub, Diebstahl, Einbruch, Nötigung, Erpressung), Verletzungen (Stürze, Brüche), Naturkatastrophen (Stürme, Überschwemmungen, Lawinen, Erdbeben), Orientierungslosigkeit (in den Bergen oder in Wäldern). Insbesondere alte Menschen und Kinder sind vielen Gefahren ausgesetzt. In solchen Notsituationen sterben jährlich viele Menschen, weil oft zu spät Hilfe geleistet werden kann, da die Unfälle zu spät erkannt werden und somit nur verzögert reagiert werden kann. Nowadays a variety of emergency situations can occur, such as accidents (road traffic, airplanes, trains), fires, crimes (kidnapping, robbery, theft, burglary, coercion, extortion), injuries (falls, fractures), natural disasters (storms, floods, Avalanches, earthquakes), disorientation (in the mountains or in forests). Especially old people and children are exposed to many dangers. In such emergency situations, many people die each year, because often too late help can be provided because the accidents are detected too late and thus can only be delayed response.
Die Nutzung von Kleidungsstücken zum Alarm auslösen oder zum Orten von Personen hat den Vorteil, dass diese keine zusätzliche Vorrichtung transportieren müssen, die unter Umständen auch mal vergessen oder verloren werden kann. Dadurch, dass eine Vorrichtung gleichzeitig als Kleidungsstück und auch als Alarm- Auslöser eingesetzt werden kann, wird die Handhabung einer solchen Vorrichtung erheblich vereinfacht. The use of garments to trigger the alarm or to locate people has the advantage that they do not have to transport additional device, which can sometimes be forgotten or lost. The fact that a device can be used simultaneously as a garment and also as an alarm trigger, the handling of such a device is considerably simplified.
In der Japanischen Patentanmeldung JP 2006255279 A ist beispielsweise ein Schuh beschrieben, der einen Alarm-Knopf aufweist und der mit Hilfe des zweiten Schuhs, ohne Benutzung der Hände, ausgelöst werden kann. Der ausgelöste Alarm wird jedoch nur in direkter Umgebung der Person wahrgenommen. Somit kann dieser Schuh nicht eingesetzt werden, wenn eine Person in einer entlegenen Gegend in eine Notsituation gelangt. Zudem ermöglicht dieser Schuh keine Ortung einer Person, was in einer solchen Situation überlebensnotwendig sein könnte. Aus diesem Grunde war es ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, mit welcher Menschen in Notsituationen schnell um Hilfe auf sich aufmerksam machen können und diese zusätzlich zeitnah geortet werden können, damit unverzüglich Hilfe geleistet werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Notruf-Schuh zur Ortung des Standortes mit einem GSM-Sender und einem GSM-Empfänger. Japanese Patent Application JP 2006255279 A, for example, describes a shoe which has an alarm button and which can be released by means of the second shoe without using the hands. However, the triggered alarm is only perceived in the immediate vicinity of the person. Thus, this shoe can not be used when a person comes into an emergency situation in a remote area. In addition, this shoe allows no location of a person, which could be necessary for survival in such a situation. For this reason, it was an object of the present invention to provide a device with which people in emergency situations can quickly draw attention to help themselves and these can be located in a timely manner, so that immediate help can be provided. This object is achieved by an emergency call shoe for locating the location with a GSM transmitter and a GSM receiver.
Der Schuh kann somit mit handelsüblichen GSM-Karten ausgestattet werden, die von den verschiedenen Mobilfunkanbietern angeboten werden. Der Schuh ist erfindungsgemäß mit einem GSM-Sender sowie einem GSM-Empfänger ausgestattet, so dass der Standort des Trägers des Schuhs zuverlässig geortet werden kann. The shoe can thus be equipped with standard GSM cards, which are offered by the various mobile operators. The shoe according to the invention is equipped with a GSM transmitter and a GSM receiver, so that the location of the wearer of the shoe can be reliably located.
Als Grundlage für die Ortung des Notruf-Schuhs können die Bereiche dienen, die ein Sendemast abdeckt (Mobilfunkzellen). Aufgrund des sehr gut ausgebauten GSM/GPRS-Netzes, ist ein solcher Notruf-Schuh in Europa fast flächendeckend erreichbar. Wenn sich der Anwender jedoch in einem Gebiet bewegt, welches nicht vom GSM-Netz abgedeckt ist, so wird immer der zuletzt geortete Bereich gespeichert und ist jederzeit abrufbar. The basis for locating the emergency call shoe can be the areas covered by a transmission tower (mobile radio cells). Due to the very well-developed GSM / GPRS network, such an emergency call shoe is almost universally accessible in Europe. However, if the user moves in an area that is not covered by the GSM network, then the last located area is always stored and can be called up at any time.
Es ist hierbei bevorzugt, wenn die vier Haupt-GSM-Frequenzen unterstützt werden, um zu den meisten Netzen weltweit verbunden zu sein (quadband). Die vier bevorzugten Frequenzbereiche sind 850 und 1900 MHz, die auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent genutzt werden, sowie 900 und 1800 MHz, die in den meisten restlichen Ländern der Welt verwendet werden (Europa, Asien und Australien). It is preferred in this case if the four main GSM frequencies are supported in order to be connected to most networks worldwide (quadband). The four preferred frequency ranges are 850 and 1900 MHz used in the Americas, and 900 and 1800 MHz used in most of the rest of the world (Europe, Asia and Australia).
Zusätzlich kann der erfindungsgemäße Schuh mit GSM-Antennen ausgestattet sein, so dass ein verbesserter Empfang möglich ist. In addition, the shoe according to the invention can be equipped with GSM antennas, so that an improved reception is possible.
Des Weiteren ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Schuh eine Ladeeinheit vorhanden, die ein Aufladen an einer 230V-Steckdose, einem 12V-Anschluss wie beispielsweise im Fahrzeug und über ein serielles Bussystem, wie zum Beispiel einen„Universal Serial Bus" (USB)-Anschluss ermöglicht. Der USB-Anschlusskann ebenfalls für eine Datenübertragung, beispielsweise zu einem PC eingesetzt werden. Da das Gerät einen geringes Platzangebot aufweist, sind kompaktere USB-Steckverbinder bevorzugt, die momentan für digitale Kameras, Mobiltelefone, MP3-Player und andere mobile Geräte eingesetzt werden (Mini-USB oder Micro-USB). Im Standby- Betrieb ist ebenfalls eine Ortung des Gerätes möglich. Furthermore, in the shoe according to the invention, a charging unit is provided, which allows charging at a 230V socket, a 12V connection such as in the vehicle and a serial bus system, such as a "Universal Serial Bus" (USB) connection. The USB port can also be used for data transfer, such as to a PC, and as the device has a small footprint, more compact USB connectors are currently preferred for digital cameras, mobile phones, MP3 players, and the like other mobile devices are used (Mini-USB or Micro-USB). In standby mode, it is also possible to locate the device.
Um in einer Notsituation einen Notruf abgeben zu können, ist der Schuh in einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform mit einem Alarm-Schalter ausgestattet. Der Anwender hat somit die Möglichkeit, einen Notruf abzugeben, der an eine Notrufzentrale gerichtet ist, indem er den Alarm-Schalter (Panik-Schalter) manuell auslöst. In order to make an emergency call in an emergency situation, the shoe is equipped in a particularly preferred embodiment with an alarm switch. The user thus has the option of making an emergency call, which is directed to an emergency call center, by triggering the alarm switch (panic switch) manually.
In einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltungsform ist der Schuh zusätzlich mit einem Erschütterungssensor ausgestattet. Im Falle einer starken Erschütterung, wie beispielsweise bei einem schweren Sturz oder einem Unfall, wird automatisch ein Notruf abgegeben, so dass die Notrufzentrale schnellstmöglich über einen solchen Unfall informiert ist und rasch reagieren kann. In a further alternative embodiment, the shoe is additionally equipped with a vibration sensor. In the case of a strong shock, such as in a serious crash or accident, an emergency call is automatically issued, so that the emergency call center is informed as soon as possible about such an accident and can respond quickly.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der erfindungsgemäße Schuh ein Mikrophon auf. In a preferred embodiment, the shoe according to the invention comprises a microphone.
Nach einem abgegebenen Notruf kann in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform das Mikrophon automatisch aktiviert werden, so dass die Notrufzentrale die Notsituation abhören kann. Wenn sich der Anwender in einem vom GSM-Netz abgedeckten Gebiet befindet, kann seine Position ebenfalls sofort geortet werden. Falls der Anwender sich in einem Gebiet befindet, das von keinem GSM- Netz abgedeckt wird, besteht die Möglichkeit, die Stellen auszuwerten, die zuletzt geortet werden konnten. In einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltungsform wird, wenn ein Notruf ausgelöst wird, automatisch eine Nachricht an einen vorher genannten Empfänger abgesendet. Bei dieser Nachricht handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine Kurznachricht, die an eine Mobilfunknummer übermittelt wird. Als Kurznachrichtendienst zur Übertragung von Textnachrichten wird vorzugsweise ein „Short Message Service" (SMS), „Enhanced Message Service" (EMS) oder „Multimedia Messaging Service" (MMS) genutzt. After a given emergency call, the microphone can be activated automatically in a further advantageous embodiment, so that the emergency call center can listen to the emergency situation. If the user is in an area covered by the GSM network, his position can also be located immediately. If the user is in an area that is not covered by any GSM network, it is possible to evaluate the locations that could be located last. In a further alternative embodiment, when an emergency call is triggered, a message is automatically sent to a previously mentioned recipient. This message is preferably a short message that is transmitted to a mobile number. As a short message service for the transmission of text messages, a "Short Message Service" (SMS), "Enhanced Message Service" (EMS) or "Multimedia Messaging Service" (MMS) is preferably used.
Bei der Notrufzentrale handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen kostenpflichtigen Dienstleister, der 24 Stunden pro Tag europaweit erreichbar ist. Dieser kann die Notrufe empfangen und mittels der in dem Schuh integrierten Mikrophone die Gefahrensituation abhören. Wenn es erforderlich ist, kann diese Notrufzentrale die Polizei, die Feuerwehr, den Notarzt oder einen Rettungsdienst wie beispielsweise die Bergrettung oder Wasserwacht verständigen und dieser den genauen Standort der betroffenen Person mitteilen. Damit auch Notrufe aus dem europäischen Ausland empfangen werden können, ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Mobilfunknetz-Teilnehmer, in einem anderen, fremden Netzwerk als seinem Heimnetzwerk selbsttätig Anrufe empfangen oder tätigen zu kann, Daten schicken und empfangen kann und Zugriff auf andere Mobilfunknetzdienste haben kann (sogenanntes„Roaming"). The emergency call center is preferably a paid service provider that can be reached 24 hours a day across Europe. This can be the Receive emergency calls and listen to the dangerous situation using the microphones integrated in the shoe. If necessary, this emergency call center can inform the police, the fire brigade, the ambulance or an ambulance service such as the mountain rescue service or water rescue and tell them the exact location of the person concerned. So that emergency calls can also be received from other European countries, it is preferred if the mobile network subscriber can automatically receive or make calls in a foreign network other than his home network, can send and receive data and have access to other mobile network services (so-called "roaming").
Zusätzlich kann es notwendig sein, die Notrufzentrale oder einen Bevollmächtigten durch eine Vollmacht des Anwenders für eine Ortung seiner Person zu legitimieren. In einem solchen Fall stellt der Anwender des Geräts eine Vollmacht an einen Bevollmächtigten oder die Notrufzentrale aus, dass diese berechtigt ist, diesen jederzeit oder in einem Notfall orten zu dürfen. In addition, it may be necessary to legitimize the emergency center or a proxy by a power of attorney of the user for a location of his person. In such a case, the user of the device issues a power of attorney to an agent or the emergency center that they are entitled to locate it at any time or in an emergency.
Alternativ kann die Ortung lediglich bei Kindern und Jugendlichen unter 18 Jahren, die nicht (voll) geschäftsfähig sind, angewendet werden. Diese können dann von ihren Eltern zuverlässig geortet werden. Alternatively, tracking may only be used on children and adolescents under the age of 18 who are not (fully) capable of doing business. These can then be reliably located by their parents.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform muss, wenn ein Alarm durch Benutzung des Alarm-Schalters oder aufgrund einer Aktivierung des Erschütterungssensors ausgelöst wurde, dieser nochmals mit einer Taste bestätigt werden. Sollte ein Fehlalarm ausgelöst werden, so kann dieser mittels einer bestimmte Tastenkombination deaktiviert werden. In a further preferred embodiment, if an alarm has been triggered by using the alarm switch or due to an activation of the vibration sensor, this must be confirmed again with a button. If a false alarm is triggered, it can be deactivated by means of a specific key combination.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform gibt es zusätzlich die Möglichkeit eines geheimen Notrufs, bei welchem der Anwender mit einem weiteren Passwort einen „stillen Alarm" auslösen kann. Dies kann in dem Fall von Bedeutung sein, in dem der Anwender während eines Alarms durch eine dritte Person bedroht wird. Mittels eines speziellen Passworts, welches durch eine spezielle Tastenkombination übermittelt wird, kann der Alarm dann für die dritte Person augenscheinlich storniert werden. In Wirklichkeit wird jedoch ein stiller Alarm ausgelöst. Ein weiterer Bestandteil der Erfindung ist ein Computerprogramm-Produkt, welches die Ortung des Schuhs ermöglicht. Mit Hilfe dieses Computerprogramm-Produktes können die Koordinaten und gegebenenfalls eine Landkarte abgerufen werden, aus welcher der Standort der Person abgelesen werden kann. Es ist ebenfalls vorteilhaft, wenn der Standort mittels eines Dienstes ermittelt wird, der es ermöglicht, die Person zu suchen, um deren Position dann auf einer Karte oder auf einem Bild von der Erdoberfläche (Satelliten- und Luftbilder) anzuzeigen. Somit kann die Zielperson standortunabhängig lokalisiert werden. Es wird lediglich ein Internetzugang benötigt, über welchen auf diesen Dienst zugegriffen werden kann. Bei diesem Dienst kann es sich beispielsweise um den Internet-Dienst Google Maps handeln. In an alternative embodiment, there is additionally the possibility of a secret emergency call, in which the user can trigger a "silent alarm" with another password, which may be of importance in the case where the user is threatened by a third person during an alarm By means of a special password, which is transmitted through a special key combination, the alarm can then be canceled for the third person, but in reality a silent alarm is triggered. Another component of the invention is a computer program product which allows the location of the shoe. With the aid of this computer program product, the coordinates and, if necessary, a map can be retrieved, from which the location of the person can be read. It is also advantageous if the location is determined by means of a service that makes it possible to search for the person to then display their position on a map or on a picture of the earth's surface (satellite and aerial images). Thus, the target person can be located regardless of location. All you need is Internet access, which allows access to this service. For example, this service may be the Google Maps Internet service.
