Definitions

  • the electric leakage detecting cane for people with hearing loss comprises an electrode energy detecting unit (1 pair), an energy storage unit, an alarm level adjustment unit, a light alarm unit, a sound alarm unit, and a vibration alarm unit.
  • the energy detecting unit takes the energy generated by the leakage of the electric current and stores it in a capacitor in the energy storage unit when the stored voltage is sufficiently high to adjust the value set in the alarm level adjusting unit.
  • Thai Petty Patent No. 13158 describes athree-way sensing cane with an obstacle locator for the visually impaired.
  • the invention consists of an angularly bent handle and a headset to communicate with the user if it finds an obstacle or a hole.
  • a box for electronics and batteries At the bottom of the handle is a box for electronics and batteries.
  • the box contains an ultrasonic sensor detector, an electronic compass, a processing unit, and a DAC unit.
  • the box's top, front, and bottom areas are also equipped with an ultrasonic sensor.
  • Thai Petty Patent No. 17355 describes a cane that uses light beams as a visual stimulus for patients with Parkinson's disease and with central nervous system degeneration.

  • the reinforcing ring and the spring set generate additional springing and vibration, allowing more energy harvesting.
  • the energy is sent to a supercharged energy conversion device that converts the alternating current to direct current through the circuit diagram and the circuit system. This is so that the direct current does not generate unstable electrical energy.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une canne dotée d'un fût creux. A l'intérieur du pommeau, se trouve un circuit imprimé (PCB) doté de divers capteurs pour le module de mesure de la fréquence cardiaque, le module de mesure de la tension artérielle, le module de mesure de la température corporelle, l'unité centrale, le GSM, le GPS et le module Bluetooth. Le pommeau comporte des compartiments dans lesquels viennent s'insérer les doigts. A l'intérieur de chaque compartiment se trouve un capteur avec un câble de transmission de signaux connecté entre un module sur le circuit imprimé (PCB) et l'unité centrale, le GSM, le GPS, le module Bluetooth et le serveur en nuage. (Serveur) Le module Bluetooth reçoit et envoie des données à des téléphones intelligents à des fins de visualisation des données en temps réel. Le circuit imprimé reçoit de l'électricité de la batterie installée entre la bague et le fût de la canne par l'intermédiaire d'un câble d'alimentation. Il comprend un disque piézoélectrique qui génère de l'électricité grâce à un module convertisseur électrique ou une énergie externe fournie à la batterie, l'unité centrale, le GSM et le GPS transférant des données enregistrées en direction du serveur en nuage (serveur). Le serveur en nuage génère des données d'affichage sur une application d'un système de soins intelligent (SCS), qui enverra un SOS à l'hôpital, à la clinique et au personnel soignant si une anomalie est détectée.
