Description

COMMUNICATION NETWORK FOR SEARCH AND RESCUE BASED ON
SENSORS AND ANIMALS
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention described herein is included within the field of telecommunications.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Since the end of the century XXI electronic and communication technology has been used for monitoring animals, among other things, in order to know their migrating patterns. In the 1980 decade, Passive integrated transponders (PIT) tags started to be used, those comprising an integrated chip/circuit, capacitors and coil antennas being encapsulated in glass for monitoring amphibians, reptiles, birds and invertebrates. Tags work as a bar code for the organism, which can be scanned by a reading device. Tags remain in a passive state, so they do not need inner power sources. In order to activated the tag, a scanning device emits a low frequency radio signal thus generating a short range electromagnetic field. Upon activation thereof, the tag sends a unique alphanumeric code to the reader, thus identifying the carrying organism. Said PIT Tags are introduced in the animal with needles or surgically implanted into a subcutaneous region or into a body cavity.
In the 90s decade, GPS devices started to be used, when this technology became available for civilian users. The first GPS devices had a size that rendered those impractical for use thereof in animals, however, GPS devices manufacturers progressively reduced the size of said devices, making it possible to attach them to animals and thus to monitor these. Some of these GPS devices for animal monitoring are linked to an Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal (PPT) which enables them to transmit data from their location to the Argos System, a scientific satellite being in use since 1978. Data may be downloaded by the people in charge of monitoring the animal in real time.
As well as the satellite system, the animal location data may be transmitted through the GSM networks with SMS messages, or internet protocols through GPRS networks, however, there is the disadvantage that the area where the monitoring is realized must have cell coverage and there are monthly costs to access said network.
The monitoring methods mentioned above allow accurately predicting the migrating patterns of some species such as birds and sea mammals, the frequency with which these travel and how long it takes them. Said devices may be added capacity for measuring environmental parameters so as to relate those with the migrating behaviour of the monitored organisms. The object of the present invention is to offer a different perspective to the use of sensors and transmitters in animals, specifically in search and rescue tasks. Search and Rescue
A Search and Rescue (SAR) system is that the object of which is to assist people being in a risk or danger situation, which, depending on the environment or the terrain where it is executed, may be subdivided into mountain search and rescue, ground search and rescue, for which specially trained dogs are used, urban search and rescue, for cases of natural disasters, hostile or war environment search and rescue and maritime rescue through air search. In countries as the United States, for example, mountain search and rescue is managed by professional teams, National park management and volunteers that belong to the Mountain Rescue Association (MRA). For this type of rescue, communication devices for rescuers are necessary, as well as flying devices, among others Helicopters, and dogs being trained in search tasks are widely used. Trained Birds
Recently, The Netherlands National Police started a Drone control plan wherein trained bald eagles are used for bringing down drones flying with no authorization or over restricted areas such as airports. Eagles trainers have thus found a business opportunity where the services of their trained eagles are hired by the police.
The present invention intends to use this type of trained birds for implementing a system applied to search and rescue wherein messages from people being in danger or in need of urgent help can be received.
There are many cases of explores, alpinists, get lost or suffer accidents in the exploring place. Since those places are sometimes inhabitable and with a great density of plants, the cell or Wi-Fi coverage are impractical for telecommunication operators, leaving as the only alternative the satellite technology which is expensive in terms of purchasing or hiring satellite phones, as well as the air-time charges that must be paid for the service.
Even when having access to a satellite phone, the person in need of rescue must be conscious for being able to use the devices, so it is impractical for situations where the person is unconscious due to accidents, dehydration or panic.
In said situations people in need of help entirely depend on the rescuers, who, since they do not have means for communicating with the people in need of rescue, only have visual options. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses a communication system for search and rescue based on light communication devices adapted to animals for receiving and re-transmitting tasks, and used by human beings for emitting a help signal manually or automatically, depending on the condition of the person in need of help. Said devices can receive and retransmit small and simple messages requesting for help in a propagation format. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
To implement the present description being made and in order to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred practical embodiment thereof, a set of drawings is attached as part of this description, with an illustrative but not limitative purpose, which represents the following:
Figures 1 a, 1 b, 1 c- It shows a series of schematic views where different steps of a possible implementation of the object of the invention.
Figure 2.- It shows a flow diagram on the operation of a possible implementation of the object of the invention.
Figure 3.- It shows an illustration showing the sequence of the format of the emitted message.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention refers to a communication system as that shown in figures 1 a, 1 b and 1 c which combines the use of animals being trained or with a migrating pattern as collector entity (1 ) carrying a communication device (2), which is a communication device for receiving, storing and retransmitting SOS help messages which is attached to the animal for emitting a help message manually or automatically, used by the explorer and provided with proprietary communication protocol with the necessary information for being rescued following the process detailed in figure 2.
By means of the information collecting entity (1 ), as it can be a group of trained birds, which, with stablished flying pattern, scan a determined area and at a determined altitude to collect messages from people in need to be rescued. The collected information will be transmitted to a rescue centre (6) through a help message (4); this will also allow reception thereof by the rescue agents spread out in the search area.
Alternatively, the collecting entity (1 ) may be migrating birds, wherein it is intended to use species with already known and studied migrating patterns, such that the object of the invention may be implemented in the areas where the birds travel during migration thereof.
For that purpose, the communication device (2) is attached to the information collecting entity (1 ), such that the communication device (2) being carried by the collecting entity (1 ), the bird for example, will be light enough for not causing stress or negatively impacting the flying frequency and pattern of the collecting entity (1 ). The attaching method will be non-invasive and it will not involve any physical damage. The communication device (2) is robust and efficient and it comprises miniaturized antennas (2a) having enough reception and transmission gain being powered by a battery. Likewise, the communication device (2) is provided with a microchip (2b) for processing the information and will have bidirectional communication capacity for receiving a message from a person in need of help and retransmitting a message to a rescue centre. On the other hand, a communication device with a vital sensor (3) being attached to the human being is also provided. The communication device with a vital sensor (3) has similar characteristics to the communication device (2) regarding weight, attachment to the user and communication robustness, but it also comprises a sensitive element (3a) associated to a processor (3b) that will allow knowing the basic vital signs of the person carrying the communication device with a vital sensor (3). In case the person suffers an accident which prevents them from using an help device (for example, if losing consciousness), the communication device with a vital sensor (3) will be able to recognize the situation (low cardiac rhythm /pulse) so as to automatically activate the emission of a help message (4).
The communication protocol to be used and the format of the help message (4) are adapted enough for not requiring excessive processing in the devices (2, 3), and long enough for providing the necessary information to the rescuers. With that purpose, a help message (4) is generated as that shown in figure 3. The fields being proposed for the help message (4) will be the following:
• ID (4a): Field with 01 -XXXX and 02-YYYY formats for identifying the communication device (2) and the communication device with a vital sensor (3), respectively.
• LAT (4b): Field for keeping the latitude coordinates of the collecting entity (1 ).
• LON (4c): Field for keeping the longitude coordinates of the collecting entity (1 ).
• TIME (4d): Field with information about the emission Day, Hour and Minute of the help message (4).
• STATUS (4e): Field with basic information about vital signs of the person (conscious or not conscious) The information collecting entity (1 ), together with the communication device (2) will work only as a repeater. It is required that there is processing of the help message (4) emitted by the communication device with a vital sensor (3) with the format according to figure 3, nevertheless it is not intended to add fields to the received message. Therefore, the format of a message (5) transmitted to the rescue centre (6) from the communication device (2) will be similar to that of the help message (4):
• ID (5a): Field with formats 01 -XXXX and 02-YYYY for identifying the communication device (2) and the communication device with a vital sensor (3), respectively.
• LAT (5b): Field for keeping the latitude coordinates of the collecting entity (1 ).
• LON (5c): Field for keeping the longitude coordinates of the collecting entity (1 ).
· TIME (5d): Field with information about the emission Day, Hour and Minute of the help message (4).
• STATUS (5e): Field with basic information about vital signs of the person (conscious or not conscious) Upon message (5) arrival to the rescue centre (6), a reception system having much more receiving power than that of the communication device (2) must be provided so as to be able to identify the message (5) being transmitted, even at long distance. Since the same transmitted message (5) may be received several times from the same collecting entity (1 ) or from several ones, data correlation must be done so as to validate the location.
