Abstract

Description of methods of a collective/social application with the use of technical components, in which a fire warning system can be installed in a manner separated according to buildings using the mobile Internet and/or telephone connections, to locate persons who are potentially in the house in a fire, early warning of persons in the building, information for persons who are not usually in the building, and multiple communication variants between emergency workers and persons in and outside the house and a display for emergency workers about persons who are certainly or presumably or certainly not in the building and the spread of a fire.

Description

Death by smoke poisoning occurs especially when people in an upper building floor, living or working, are not aware that there is already a small fire and at the same time strong fire a lower floor, maybe even in another part of the building, which suddenly overturns when, for example, doors are torn open to the staircase or shaft locks fail due to heat or fire water entering; In this case, there may be short-term smoke discharges that make a rescue on their own power beyond a normal escape route after a few moments impossible.

There are many Personal Security Systems (PERS) that either inform a call center in case of an emergency of any kind, including fire, or in newer applications family and pre-defined friends (First Responder). Not, however, the environment is informed, which is partially anonymous to the user of a fire system.

Fire alarms with sounders, some of which are legally compulsory in new buildings and in certain meeting areas, are informed by the general public, insofar as they are within hearing range, without differentiation regarding the degree of fire, furthermore by connecting the control centers of the fire brigade, but not for example Relatives or persons in a potentially endangered environment, such as the residents of a neighboring building, if they are not within hearing range.

Furthermore, there is no distinction of fires in triggering current fire systems between

- a potential fire when smoke is detected in a building,

- a small room fire, such as a burning saucepan,

- a normal room fire, such as a burning curtain or a smoldering pillow, or whether it is

- is a large-scale fire, which is already able to jump over very quickly to other units.

It is also not possible for them to distinguish on which floor the fire was triggered, which could lead to different reactions, depending on whether another informed resident is above or below the fire; Above and at the same level of fire, as seen, greater urgency is required than at least one or more levels below the fire. There is furthermore no message to neighbors and family, so no preparation! ichkciten and no distinction,

- who can help himself or not,

- who is inside or outside the building,

- who was in the building when the fire was triggered but already rescued or

- saved herself, and

- where a person who would normally stay in the house is straight. Therefore know for example! the firefighters regularly just in fires in large residential buildings, where they have to search specifically for trapped people, which leads to delays, since the fire brigade may have to open all the doors and apartments to look for trapped persons. This delay creates dangers for the confined as well as for the employees of the fire brigade, if unnecessarily wasted time with empty flats and rooms.

In an ideal world, each apartment would be equipped with sensors and cameras that would allow the fire brigade to see in real time and by means of normal or infrared light who is located where; the system described here helps to provide a technically feasible intermediate solution.

A first approach to reducing the consequences of fire, especially when dealing with older people, and fire department employees is to reduce search times.

The ideal order of transmission of the necessary information is:

- shouting and screaming ~ minimal performance - only as far as the sound pressure of the person reaches extinguishing measures can be very loud and - since the windows are to be closed - barely penetrate to the outside; this fails active as passive completely for sign-speaking.

- telephone landline - weak - it fails both when the power supply and when the telephone lines are destroyed or shorted by fire or fire water.

- mobile, wireless connections - mediocre - they usually fail only when the power supply is destroyed or shorted;

- Mobile Internet and wireless network - Very long use in fires possible because the devices are worn on the user's body and do not require external power and a radio network is not usually built on devices in the building, but externally; even if a radio mast is on the building and is put out of action by a fire, the cell structure can usually immediately - even without noticeable interruption for the user - build a new radio cell; The devices are destroyed only when conditions prevail in which no one could survive.

Further, existing systems other than pure alarm bells do not inform people and no system about persons who have entered a building without being in regular attendance; especially these can easily be forgotten in rescue operations, when no one knows of their presence in the building and they are trapped by smoke or fire. Uncertainty as to whether they are present and, if so, where they are located, can in turn lead to long search times. Generally speaking, today's systems lack an opt-out scheme - no-one can easily tell if they've left a burning building, and if so, that information can easily go under.

In the case of a fire in a particular multi-storey building with several residential and office units is currently undifferentiated in a fire alarm, the house reported as being on fire.

After arrival of the fire brigade this has 2 tasks, namely first to extinguish the fire and to save the people still in the house; both activities are simultaneous in time, with the latter task becoming increasingly demanding over time and becoming more dangerous for firefighters.

Example: On 1 September, no fire department employee died from fire or smoke - they were killed by the sudden collapse of the twin towers during rescue operations.

For example, as the alarm is triggered and reported in an undifferentiated manner, home residents and visitors can not tell whether it is actually a fire or whether it is smoke or, in the case of smoke, whether it is only part of the smoke Building, within only one apartment, such as the typical kitchen fire, or is already penetrating into the escape routes smoke situation, which could prevent the escape under certain circumstances.

• Object of the invention

•As a general rule

The present description shows technical methods with hardware and software of a collaborative-social application with use of technical components, in which a fire system can be set up separately by building using the mobile Internet and / or simple telephone connections, thus

- Persons who are potentially in the house can be located in the event of a fire,

- people in the building can be warned early,

being able to better understand the possibility of prolonged preparation on the one hand and the urgency of an action on the other, and

- inform people who are not usually in the house, and can report to the emergency services online;

- the rescuers can also be shown who is safe, who is in the building and can not help, and which units are most likely not occupied or even safely empty; the detection of presence and absence is done manually by the user and especially by a technical methodology. This serves both to increase the security of residents and - benefit while increasing safety for the rescue services.

•Concrete

The method works both for residents and employees who are regularly housed in a home, and for system participants who visit a home and for neighbors who are only indirectly affected, but especially in the case of heavy fires , as well as for hotel visitors; all can be informed by the overall system by means of a mobile terminal in particular about escape routes, vulnerable areas and collection points, as if they were house residents.

Order of rescue work

It should give the fire brigade the opportunity to distinguish

- which units in the building are definitely empty and

- in which there are definitely people,

to coordinate their rescue action accordingly.

The sequence should therefore be:

- First of all rescue of persons who are definitely trapped in the apartments or units, either because they can not move out of the house in principle (wheelchair users, elderly, bedridden and infirm persons), or because they escape through fire and / or smoke is cut off;

- then search the units where it is unclear whether people are in it or not; and finally

- if possible not to enter the units that are definitely empty and to reduce accordingly the number of those who are not sure if people are in it.

• 2nd Direct communication between fire brigade and people in the house

The firefighters should be able to communicate with those affected by the fire, even without knowing their telephone numbers, be it by telephone or mobile by means of unifying internet protocols.

1. and 2. serves not only the protection of the house residents or employees in a house, but also and especially the firefighters themselves, as in particular by the search of apartments and office units and other commercial units, which are definitely empty, valuable time is lost, and to expose the forces to unnecessary danger from fire, smoke, and falling parts of the building. Furthermore, every door that can be opened bears the danger of "backdrafts", a situation in which a fire in a room is virtually extinguished by the consumption of oxygen, but is still glowing; firefighters now open a door to see if a person is in it - unaware that this effect was due to lack of oxygen behind it - so the oxygen entering through the door opening triggers the fire again, which then discharges regularly in a jet of flame which strikes back in the direction of the incoming oxygen and thus to the firefighters.

The present embodiment makes it possible, by preparatory measures, which can also be provided by third parties, to immediately inform the firefighters where people are urgently to be rescued, and where apartments and units are not to be opened, since these are reported as definitely empty, and to get an assessment where the heaviest devastation by the fire probably took place.

• 3rd Simplification of communication between the residents

In one embodiment of the method, the communication within the building is to be simplified among the residents and users of the building and between these and the security forces, not only for potential and dangerous moments.

• 4th Communication for and communication between neighbors

It is to be simplified by means of an embodiment of the method, the information of people in neighboring buildings, among other things, for example, to enable faster first aid, and better protect against overturning dangers, as well as mutual neighborly help not only in case of danger and fire, even if the Neighbors do not know each other.

• 5th Information about the place of fire and smoke

Especially in smoke, but also in room fires can be distinguished by another embodiment of the method where a smoke alarm is triggered so that people who are on a unit with smoke and / or fire development, be aware that they are now leaving unit, while units below may have more time.

This may seem insignificant, but in Manhattan alone, on average, 6 people die each year alone on the top floors of buildings because they wait too long and eventually die from rising smoke, a regular source of carbon monoxide poisoning.

• 6th Communication even after breaking down of the telephone communication possibility and conclusions on the fire development

In a further embodiment of the method can

- be communicated on the one hand even in case of breakdown of the telephone communication with the residents and other users of a house by an alternative method, - recognized with the same system, the spread of fire or at least estimated

- locating and communicating with third parties who are in the house without being reported as their residents or users,

and in one embodiment, the communication is maintained even if the entire Internet and / or power supply in the house collapses;

• 7. Knowledge about unauthorized persons

Unauthorized persons can also be recognized if they use telecommunications equipment, in particular with WLAN and / or Bluetooth and / or mobile Internet, and this knowledge is passed on in accordance with the preferences made by the homeowners and the users and residents.

Detailed description of the embodiments

9 Solution Description • Representation of a building, its users and occupants and their communication devices as order logic and entry in a public system

A) Each house can be understood as a combination of different units and can be represented in an orderly manner:

Every house owns

at least one building

at least a house number and a street name and

exactly one place;

Each building includes

at least one entrance,

at least one room where people can stay (apartment, office, other business, other technical rooms, corridors, stairs).

at least one floor,

at least 0 stairs and

at least 0 emergency exits, and

at least 0 elevators.

Each apartment includes

at least one apartment entrance,

at least one floor

at least 0 windows, and

at least 0 emergency exits.

Each apartment, office, other business, other technical rooms, corridors and stairs, own

- at least one access to each area and

- at least 0 emergency exits.

Example:

an office unit - A-20-1 - to be displayed in the 20 floor as

in building wing A

of the building XYZ Straße 6 in ZZ-Stadt with postal code 12345

The apartment or an inhabited or otherwise used room in the building can thus be localized for an unfamiliar person and represented uniformly by the sequence of entrance door, staircase, hallway and apartment entrance door, the apartment entrance door and entrance door can coincide.

In the above case, the description is so

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, elevator A-l, floor 20OG, hall A-20, office entrance 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, elevator A-2, floor 20OG, hall A-20, office entrance 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, elevator A-3, floor 20OG, hall A-20, office entrance 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, elevator A-l, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-I-NA1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, elevator A-2, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-1-NA1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, stairs A-l, emergency exit 20-A-l, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, office entrance 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, stairs A-2, emergency exit 20-A-2, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, office entrance 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, stairs A-l, emergency exit 20-A-I, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-1 -NA1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, entrance A, stairs A-2, emergency exit 20-A-2, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-1-NA1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, house emergency exit A-NA1, stairs A-l, emergency exit 20-A-l, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, office entrance door 20- 1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, house emergency exit A-NA1, stairs A-l, emergency exit 20-A-l, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-1 -NA1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, house emergency exit A-NA1, stairs A-2, emergency exit 20-A-2, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, office entrance door 20-1;

XYZ street 6, 12345 ZZ-Stadt, building wing A, house emergency exit A-NA1, stairs A-2, emergency exit 20-A-2, floor 20OG, corridor A-20, emergency exit 20-1-NA1.

Additional information, such as size, number of windows (outward, inward), and conductorability can be stored in a system, preferably in a software and / or accessible on the Internet. In one embodiment, for the stairs and lifts, the corridors that can be reached through them, as well as the connection in the case of intermissions, such as express lifts leading from the EC to the 15th floor, and from there from the 15th to the 20th ,

Floor),

• Step 1: Creating a building in a public forum

a) Following this ordering logic, in a first step in a public forum, preferably in a protected area of the internet, homeowners, home users, property managers, etc., can be allowed to define a house by number of buildings _» number of apartments, offices, etc. in a building, location of the entrance door, possibly location of the emergency exit, number of stairs, number of corridors and floors, number of apartments in one floor, number of elevators and more.

Users of the forum can be encrypted and shared so as not to give unauthorized information for the preparation of criminal acts.

It can be scanned and downloaded by the fire department blueprints, especially if it is a complicated building, this facilitates the location of the units.

• Step 2: Assignment of users to the usage units

b) In a next step, users and residents can define

aa) in which (residential) units they regularly reside, and

bb) in one embodiment of the method, possibly also with typical time frames, ie at an office, for example, typically from about 8:45 am to 6:30 pm in the evening;

For example, if a fire is reported at 2 am in the morning and the person is unavailable, that person's rescue attempt may be classified as of low urgency.

cc) In one embodiment of the method, access systems can be used to detect and deposit the actual presence and absence of residents and users.

This assigns at least 0 users to each room; also the assignment 0 is per se possible, because it is called the current vacancy of a room; Basic setting of a room is not "0" but "undefined".

In the above example, therefore, users XY can be recognized as the only one or one of many residents of housing unit A-20-1 and can thus be reached as via the above-described paths,

Resident XY?

Housing unit A-20-1. It can be deposited in an embodiment, whether a registered person has special needs that make rescue difficult, such as bed rest, electric roilchair, crutches, if only temporarily.

• Step 3: Assignment of mobile terminals to the user

c) aa) In the next step, mobile devices, typically smartphones, tablets or other portable devices equipped with

- In one embodiment of the invention with WLAN reception

an embodiment of the invention GPS localization,

- And one embodiment of the invention of a telephone communication option

- As well as in one embodiment of the invention with mobile Internet connection

first, these terminals are assigned to exactly one person or several persons; and thus be recognized that and whether the associated person or a person of the group is near, in the building or away from it.

So in the example above, user XY can use the smartphone SP! be assigned; also the assignment of the tablet SP2 to him and family members who use his apartment is helpful, because at the o.g. Locating in the burning building is not about the user's identity, but whether someone is in the room and / or building.

SP1?

Resident XY,

and

Tablet SP2?

{Resident XY?

Resident XZ? ...}

The decisive factor for the location is the distinction whether the mobile terminal is turned on and when it was last moved and / or used; a cell phone left at home is not useful for tracking; Thus, an estimate can be made if and when use was made before the alarm last. The assignment can be done manually and in one embodiment also logically / automatically by recognizing behavioral patterns.

bb) In one embodiment, alarm signaling devices can be connected, which are either purely mobile and serve only this purpose, or can be connected by cable and mobile to the outside. For the latter, the location and thus potential users can be entered after installation; in openly accessible devices like in one Stairwell or open corridor is not a user as described in aa), but only a room deposited.

• Step 4: Detecting WLAN signals and assigning them to rooms and buildings / parts of buildings

d) In the next step and an embodiment of the invention WLAN signals of the mobile terminals can be collected in the apartments and other rooms in a building and stored centrally, so that a house as a sum of

- in the house a radiant and above all

- In the house from devices radiating WLAN signals

can be defined

and so a map of the units can be created, where with which / which WLAN signal (s) is to be expected,

thus locating the persons due to one-beam WLAN signals in the described spaces is possible,

aa) Above all, it can be recognized

- which WLAN devices are available in a house based on their MAC addresses,

- in which rooms these WLAN devices are expected, by means of the stored data to the rooms, which are stored for users identified in b) as lounges, and

- In addition, in which rooms radiate these signals regularly more or less strong;

- Furthermore, it can be deposited and otherwise recognized, which users can log into the WLAN devices and actually log in and logged in case of danger.

The method of the penultimate indent has already been patented in its entirety as a "Wifi Blink" for in-building WLAN signals PCT / EP 2014 055495, WO 2014/170081 Al. The extension in the present system is the location of in-house WLAN Equipment and the assignment to the rooms in which they are located by means of the assignment of users who can log into the systems and their assignment to the defined spaces.

bb) Conversely, in one embodiment of the invention, the software belonging to the method can be recognized in a WLAN device and / or in the mobile terminal if a mobile terminal is located by a WLAN device in the house - eg by mutual handshake protocols for logging in WLAN -enabled devices in WLAN devices, whether this leads to success or not. Thus, upon movement of the device, it may be classified as belonging to a potentially in-house person and, if the terminal has the associated software, also ask the same questions and transmit information to rescue resident.

cc) In one embodiment of the invention, the software associated with the method, in combination with electronic home access systems, can detect when a person has entered a particular area of a building _» eg by opening a closed door, and the presence of the mobile terminal by means of incoming WLAN or conversely, find that the person is not carrying the mobile device, but is still within the building in a particular area.

• Mobile device for the fire department

The Fire Department may be provided with a preferred mobile device or other software that displays the order of the building.

The fire brigade can be provided with the help of the logical order, as it is recommended to proceed (priority of rescue):

- First of all rescue of persons who are in the building in a certain space and can not move away from there - and at the same time -

- persons who are not registered to the house but have registered as being in the house;

- the persons located by access systems,

- then checking the units that are reported as inhabited, ie number of inhabitants> 0, but are not clear whether a person is noticeable in it;

- then the units for which no information is deposited and only last and only without risk for the firefighters;

- Units for which persons are reported who are unreachable but outside the times specified by them;

- Units with built-in alarm devices that have not been alarmed and that provide ping feedback.

- the units reported as definitely empty; so resident / user number ~ 0.

• Alarm triggering, notification to users, residents and visitors of a building in case of fire and smoke

a) In one embodiment, fire or smoke or other general emergency may be reported by the mobile terminal, whether as a first alarm message indicating further information such as where and what type, or as a notification that a fire alarm has been triggered and the user is Ringing hears, so in the sense of a confirmation message. See, for distinction in emergency messages, the same applicant's utility model application "Method of Transmitting and Differentiating Constitutional States During and After Triggering a Personal Emergency or Social Emergency Network Communication System" of 6 June 2014.

b) In the normal embodiment, in a reported case of smoke and fire, the persons registered in the house can be specifically informed by means of their mobile terminals. c) you can indicate in a further embodiment

- whether they are in the house or not,

in other embodiments, if they are in the home, in the specified unit or in another unit,

- in this case, in another embodiment, stating whether an independent escape is possible,

or

- is impossible

- because of personal circumstances (s.o., such as Roiistuhl) or

- circumstances that are related to the incident itself, such as smoke in the hallway;

- if, when they are not in the house, the unit that is theirs,

- definitely is empty, or

- definitely not empty or

- she does not know it,

and change that information live.

For example, if a user is alone in an apartment and enters the escape route via the escape route and is thus out of danger, he can first indicate

"I am in the house in my unity", "will try to escape"

during the leaving of the building then

"I'm in the house, trying to escape, and no longer in my unit" and then "I'm outside the house" and finally

"My unit is definitely empty".

This information can be updated on the mobile device of the fire brigade, either by WLAN direct contact or by means of mobile Internet. d) In another embodiment, the registered resident and user can be more accurately informed of where the alarm came from, not only the building, but also, if known,

- whether smoke or fire has been reported, and

- where the fire or smoke was reported,

to facilitate the assessment of urgency.

Even though fire should always be evacuated immediately,

can be differentiated with smoke something:

little smoke (extinguished cooking pot) and far away and above my floor means lower overall urgency, you can wear street clothes and a coat in winter and / or at night,

Smoke under the informed - in any case, high urgency, just when the unit is on the top floor, immediately leave the house.

e) In one embodiment of the invention, the persons who are in the house and as such

by GPS and / or

WLAN are located (s.o., step 4 bb). Information with more or less precision, even if they are not subscribers to the building (see below).

f) hotel guests

In one embodiment, hotel rooms may be occupied after checkout as "uninhabited" and after check in with n occupants, and cleaners may be reported to work hours as and as to the rooms assigned to them for cleaning.

g) All informed persons may be given updates, especially if escape routes are reported as smoky or if they are to stay away from certain areas.

In the worst fire in a homosexual bar in New Orleans, the Upstairs Lounge, the majority of visitors died from smoke poisoning because they were trying to reach the emergency exit, but just then the arsonist had shed the fire and tried to reach the emergency exit , was caught in the smoke of the stairwell and could not escape in time, so in this case, the information would have to be - "Do not go to emergency exit, main exit free".

a) to g) is based on the idea that early information can, above all, prevent smoke fumes if no time is lost due to ambiguity. h) In one embodiment of the invention, a property manager, the persons who have set off an alarm, or the fire department give instructions on how the residents have to behave, in particular the intensity of the fire and thus indicate the need for a fast or slow and regular evacuation, or the message that the fire is (still, always or again) under control, and so that the house must not be abandoned, to pass on to all residents; Furthermore, in one embodiment of the invention, the possibility of a conference call that all persons communicate with each other and can communicate to each other, what has been seen, in particular so can talk about the intensity of a fire each other; Folio wem (see below) may restrict the right to hear this information, but not to speak with it; The same applies to people who are definitely not in the house; on the other hand, persons who are found to be in the house, even if they are not house residents, should be able to communicate with each other.

• Mutual networking and neighborhood assistance

Persons who are in a house or are connected to one another in a neighborhood help, even if they do not know each other, can network with one another in an embodiment of the invention and exchange information with one another.

This may be, for example, that due to age and gender, weaker persons can inform other people in the house or neighbors when unknown persons are in the building, and the weaker person does not dare to step into the hallway unless these people were checked.

Neighborhood assistance is thus being extended from a small number of neighbors to a community of like-minded people who support themselves as a group, both in rural areas where the police force can not be on the spot because of the distance, and in more densely populated areas. where it is difficult to make contact with the immediate neighbors.

• Enter subscribers of a building

In one embodiment of the invention, persons who live or work in adjacent buildings or who otherwise have an interest in a building may register for information about the building so as to be automatically informed, not only in an emergency.

Above all, these will be neighbors because it may be feared that fire will spill over,

Relatives of persons in the house;

Security services with contracts with residents, regulatory authorities,

and more. In one embodiment of the entry, it is possible to filter which information is transmitted to this third party. Thus, a fire is always sure to be communicated, but at the same time when transmitting the emergency "strange people in the house" or "burglars are at work" or even today "noise is possible because of game in the 3rd floor at XY" Third just not be informed ,

In o.g. For example, "strange people in the house" would only be notified to persons registered in the house or other pre-set persons who can then reveal themselves or look together, but it should not allow burglars to learn about their own detection.

Especially with smoke development, the information of third parties can be valuable, not only for their protection, but also for e.g. In the case of arson, to report strange acts such as the outpouring of accelerators in several places.

During the Aurora attack in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, the assassin was caught by the police with his ready-to-shoot assault weapon, because an eyewitness noticed a man throwing a wig away and he reported this comical behavior of a police patrol; the eyewitness did not know that in the nearby cinema minutes before people had been massacred, and only by chance, the assassin could be so caught, possibly another person without the information would have considered this behavior as strange, but insignificant and thus let the perpetrator escape.

• Findings about Fcucrausbrcitung by WLAN Gcrätc

In the event of a fire, it may be the result of scorching the electricity and telecommunications lines that individual or all WLAN and telephone signals fail; The extreme strength of the negatively charged particles associated with fires can also make telecom- munication difficult or impossible in a building by means of line, GPRS and GSM.

The failure of one or more WLAN signals can be used to determine which lines are already in by fire in with landscape, whereby the already created map of the building can be provided with information where the fire has already progressed and where not.

a) For this purpose, in one embodiment of the invention, at regular intervals after notification of a fire alarm, a "ping" is sent from a stationary unit to the WLAN devices of the registered home.

If the response does not respond to the ping, it can be assumed for a single device that the associated unit is already badly affected; if there are several, the power supply of the units may be damaged or destroyed, or the connection to the outside b) Similarly, a ping may be applied to a mobile device located or reported as in-house. If this is not answered, it must be assumed that the fire is already spreading the most; the fire brigade can then decide at its own discretion whether this case will be favored - for example, in a low building, the fire affects only one person, or not at all, because a devastating fire is raging and many people are still to be rescued; While this may seem cynical, the lives of firefighters are as worthy of protection as that of the residents, and the assumption of risk must therefore be based on logical principles.

c) If sensors are used in the interior of a house, which are connected via electronic means such as Bluetooth with at least one mobile device or can be connected, it can also be represented in an embodiment of the invention; It can therefore be shown that a sensor reports smoke and, for example, the default smoke and fire are transmitted.

d) in one embodiment of the invention, a WLAN, Bluetooth and P2P communication bridge can be established. Here you can

aa) the communicating with each other or connected by software with the fire department mobile devices of the people in the house forward information about the resulting bridge and / or

bb) in one embodiment of the invention by means of portable, fire-proof and battery-powered devices which are used by firefighters, e.g. thrown into the hallways, and include the WLAN and / or Bluetooth and / or other communication modules, such a bridge from the mobile device to the headquarters are built to locate the one person's locations and on the other with these in the most difficult situations in To stay in touch.

e) The fire brigade can be provided with a mobile, fire-proof and battery-powered sensor, which uses built-in sensors to record a history of the fire and transmit it live; this may coincide with the described functionality of the device described in d) bb) and is also distributed in the building; it is used for information during the fire about the development in the house during the deletion and also for post-processing, similar to the black box on airplanes; Since the destruction of the device is likely when a building collapses, the data is sent live or at intervals.

• Communication by means of special, mobile WLAN devices and triangulating Wi-Fi from Fcuerwchr

a) In one embodiment of the invention, the fire department with a particularly strong and powerful, portable WLAN device, which has a certain, predefined and stored in the software software software of the stored frequency and possibly password, contact with the people trapped in the house even if it is not possible to communicate by telephone or communicate via mobile Internet due to fire or other reasons.

For this purpose, the default setting of the mobile devices is set so that when encountering this WLAN signal communication via Voice-over-IP or by means of similar Internet protocols between the persons in the house and the emergency services is possible.

If a user has already selected the setting "I am safe", because he is not in the city or anywhere else, for example, or even in front of the building and thus in the sphere of activity of the WLAN device, then he is either the communication through this special WLAN signal denies or is nevertheless denied the connection to the special WLAN signal for communication.

b) In one embodiment of the invention, at least two portable WLAN devices can be arranged around a house and directed to a house such that the WLAN signals form an intersection or, in the case of more than two WLAN devices, a triangulation; In this case, the mobile terminal can be set so that in principle only with WLAN reception of more than one device, the communication is allowed to ensure that only authorized persons ~ so people who are in the illuminated house - can tune into the communication ; This system can be dispensed with a password at the same time.
