Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of self-rescue of a distressed person in an aquatic environment, personal lighthouse and U-shaped buoy configured to carry out the self-rescue method.
- the present invention aims at a rescue method that is called self-rescue because it is initiated by the person in difficulty and is controlled by the devices that are part of the method of the invention without any intervention by third parties, i.e. fully automatic.
- Detection is usually done by human and/or technical means, such as surveillance cameras and/or sensors in charge of monitoring a certain area, which can be a swimming pool, a beach, or a boat. Detection is not always done in a timely manner, which contributes to a high number of failure cases. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method in which the alarm is given by the person in difficulty, either because he has fallen into the water from the rail of a vessel, or because he is in a situation of drowning at sea, in a swimming pool, lagoon or dam.
- a process is carried out which starts with the launching of the buoy, followed by its directing to the place where the person is. in difficulties.
- Such process is controlled by computational means installed on the buoy that process the signals emitted by a signal emitting beacon carried by a user using the method of the invention.
- Said computational means process the emitted signal from said lighthouse, they determine in real time the route depending on the relative location of the person in difficulty and the buoy and activate automatons that change the relative position of the turbines installed at the ends of the U-shaped buoy and condition its direction and movement .

- the buoy component 20 includes an electronics module 30, which includes the aforementioned locator, a signal receiver, and a controller that handles the signals emitted from the signal-emitting personal beacon 10.
- the signals emitted can be of two types: alert or location, coded according to the frequency of transmission/reception.
- Said controller 30 is provided with signal processing means and data processing means, and is operatively connected to the turbines 40.
- the turbines 40 are capable of varying their orientation in space as well as their speed of rotation, actuated by the controller.
- said processing means are configured to: i) actuate the release and/or initiation automata of the movement of the U-shaped float 20, which release the float from the support device 50 and/ or initiate and direct the movement of said U-buoy upon receipt of an alert signal by the signal receiving means of the U-shaped float; ii) actuate automata positioned next to the turbines 40, said automata modifying the orientation of said turbines 40, depending on the rescue route, determined from the reception of the first location signal received after receiving the warning signal, said route being corrected in real time according to the location signals, emitted in real time from said beacon 10, carried by said person in distress.
- said signals are RF signals.
- said signals are sound wave signals.
- the location of the person in distress can also be determined by magnetic wave triangulation.
- the system of the invention allows the execution of a method of self-rescue of a person in distress in an aquatic environment.
- the method is automatic, initiated by the initiating device, 15, located in the personal signal emitting beacon 10, operatively connected to the U-shaped buoy, 20, and controlled from the electronics module located in said buoy 20, by computational means.
- the computational means are configured to perform a self-rescue method in which the processor, upon receipt of an alert signal emitted from a personal beacon (10), i) actuates the buoy release and/or initiation automata in form of U, 20, of a support device 50, ii) determine and correct in real time the rescue route in an aquatic environment as a function of the relative position of the U-shaped buoy, 20, and the location signals emitted in real time from the personal light 10 and iii) position automatons of the turbines of said U-shaped buoy actuate directing said U-shaped buoy 20 in real time to the place where the person carrying the personal light 10 is located.
- the position of the distressed person is determined by cameras 60, operatively connected and directed towards the distressed person wearing a personal headlamp.
- the system of the invention has as components, the personal light device 10, emitter of warning signals and location signals and the U-shaped buoy.
- the personal beacon device 10 includes a location determination locator, and an alert and location signal emitter configured to be received by the signal receiving means of a U-shaped buoy 20 to carry out the self-rescue method as described.
- the personal beacon, 10, emitter of warning signals and location signals, the locator is a GPS device.
- the personal beacon 10, emitter of warning signals and location signals is a radio frequency (RF) transmitter operatively connected to video surveillance cameras 60, configured to determine in real time the relative position of the signal emitting beacon and transmit the location data of the person in distress to said U-shaped buoy, 20.
- RF radio frequency
- the personal beacon device 10 issuing warning signals may include a holder 11 and an initiator device 15.
- the support 11 is a bracelet.
- the initiating device is a button 15.
- the initiator device is a pin.
- the U-shaped buoy 20 is an integral part of the system.
- the buoy of the invention is configured to carry out the method of the invention.
- Said buoy 20 is self-propelled by turbines 40, and powered by the battery, and includes an electronics module, 30 which includes a locator for determining the buoy location, means for receiving alert signal and location signals emitted by said personal beacon 10, and a controller provided with signal processing means and data processing means operatively connected to the turbines.
- Said processing means are configured to: i) actuate release and/or initiation automata, positioned on the U-shaped float which release the float from the support device 50 and/or initiate and direct the movement of said U-buoy, upon receipt of an alert signal by the signal receiving means of the shaped buoy it gave; ii) actuate automata positioned next to said turbines 40, said automata modifying the orientation of said turbines 40, depending on the rescue route, determined from the reception of the first location signal received after receiving the warning signal, iii) being said route corrected in real time as a function of location signals emitted from said beacon 10 carried by said person in distress.

- an RF or other signal is emitted, which is received in the electronics module of the U-shaped float, 20.
- Said signal is recognized by the signal receiver and identified as a signal. alert.
- Recognition of the warning signal, 101, in the processor starts processing, 101, the final result of which is the actuation of the retainer drive automaton 105, which results in the release or launch, 107, of the U-shaped buoy, 20
- the signal emitting beacon 10 which contain the coding of the location of the user bearing the personal beacon, 10, obtained by GPS or another location determination system.
- the location data is received 102, and processed, 104, resulting in the determination of the rescue route and the actuation of the turbine automata, 40, in the sense that, in real time, such route is corrected, i.e. modifying in time real the direction of the self-rescue buoy, 108, to reach the location of the user carrying the personal lighthouse, 10. Since the geographic positions of the signal-emitting personal lighthouse carrier and the self-rescue buoy are constantly modified due to the unstable nature of the aquatic environment in which they find themselves, processing includes the new location data, 109, which is included in the processing routine.
