Description

field of use

The invention relates to a security system to ensure that a person who gets into a situation in which they need help quickly receives help from people in particular from the area. The invention also relates to a security method for operating such a security network.

Technical background

A security system and a security procedure to provide help to people in need quickly is known in principle:

There are transmitters built into cell phones or as a separate device that can be activated by a person in need of help, and which then send a help request signal either to a defined other cell phone or to a predetermined group of other cell phones or specifically to the police or an emergency medical service or sends a nursing home, etc.

However, when a help request signal is sent to one or more predefined receiver units, for example a close relative's cell phone or the police emergency call center, it is often the case that the receiver of the help request signal is relatively far away from the person in need and valuable time passes until the person can be helped.

Devices are also known which, when activated, emit a deterrent signal of an optical or acoustic type, which is intended to chase away the perpetrator in the event of an attack or even if the animal is attacked.

• - primär mittels Handy-Technik oder normaler Funkverbindung Hilfe bei einer das Hilfeanforderungssignal empfangenden Hilfsorganisation (Polizei, Rettungsdienst, Sicherheitsdienst) anfordern kann und
• - auch ein optisch oder akustisch auffälliges Abschreckungssignal auslösen kann, falls die Gefahrensituation in einem kriminellen Angriff auf die Person besteht.

In this context is from the AT 507 438 B1 - Which forms the next-reaching state of the art - an emergency device in the form of a transmitter is known, with the help of which a person in need of help is triggered / activated accordingly

• - Primarily by means of cell phone technology or normal radio connection can request help from an aid organization (police, rescue service, security service) receiving the help request signal and
• - can also trigger a visually or acoustically noticeable deterrent signal if the dangerous situation consists in a criminal attack on the person.

The WO 2008/120917 A1 also describes a transmitter for emitting a help signal, but primarily a conspicuous optical and / or acoustic deterrent signal, but this document is primarily aimed at securely attaching the device to the carrier in order to avoid removal and / or destruction of the device by a possible attacker ,

Presentation of the invention

Technical task

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a security system and a security method for carrying out the security system, which enables faster help for the person in need.

Solution of the task

This object is solved by the features of claims 1 and 17. Advantageous embodiments result from the subclaims.

The basic idea and thus the procedure according to the present invention is that a person who fears that they could end up in need carries a transmitter unit and, if necessary, triggers an aid request signal which is transmitted wirelessly by the transmitter unit , in particular via radio, and is received by all coordinated receiver units that have other people or organizations in the area.

The help request signal is therefore not directed to a specific receiver unit, but rather to all receiver units equipped for receiving this help request signal, provided that they are within the range of the help request signal.

Each of these receiver units then emits a message signal that can be perceived by the other person, e.g. an acoustic signal.

These other people will then recognize that someone is in need and you should rush to help that person in need.

Since the range of the transmitter unit is limited, the people who receive the help request signal will be at a relatively short distance from the person in need of assistance and can provide help very quickly, regardless of whether it is a medical emergency or an emergency Robbery or similar is.

If many or all of the receiver units or transmitter-receiver units within range are emitting a presence signal, the sending transmitter unit will determine the strength of its own help depending on the number of presence signals received and knowing their range. The request signal and thus the range vary so that a sufficient but not too large number of receiver units or transmitter-receiver units is within the range.
Known help request signals, for example, which are sent directly to the police or to a medical emergency service, on the other hand, have the disadvantage that the help from there usually takes longer because of the greater distance to the person in need of help.

If, in the method according to the invention, a control center - for example in the form of the operator of the security method - also receives an aid request signal, this can additionally be forwarded either directly to the police and / or emergency services and / or a private security company or only after checking the authenticity and the real situation of the person requesting help by the control center, if this is possible at all.

In the event of an expected medical emergency, the help request signal can also contain information about the expected type of medical emergency in the form of a code number or in the form of plain text.

The help request signal, which the transmitter unit emits due to being triggered by the person in need of help, can be invisible and inaudible in the vicinity of the transmitter unit or, conversely, can be a very visible optical and / or very audible acoustic signal ,

Depending on the type of emergency the person in need expects, the type of help request signal, that is to say inaudible at the point of delivery, may be inaudible or nonetheless audible and visible, and may also be selectable on the sending unit in this regard.

Because if, for example, an old and sick person is more likely to expect a medical emergency, it makes sense that the help request signal is also visible and audible on the transmitter unit so that the person in need of help can be found as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, if the suspected emergency is a kidnapping, for example, it makes sense that the help request signal on the transmitter unit is neither audible nor visible, so that e.g. the kidnappers do not notice that an aid request signal is already being issued, thus enabling the person in need, the kidnapping victim, to be located and moved around.

For this reason too, especially in the latter case, the transmitter unit is arranged as inconspicuously as possible on the person who may be in need of help, so as not to be recognized by a perpetrator if possible:

It can be integrated into a piece of clothing, i.e. sewn in, or worn as an accessory, for example as a pendant on a necklace, in the form of a bracelet, belt, scarf or cap.

However, neither the transmitter unit nor the receiver unit has to be worn directly on the person.

Above all, the receiver unit can be stored by its owner in the immediate listening and / or visual environment, so it does not have to be worn close to the body, as long as it is only ensured that the message signal emitted by the receiver unit can still be determined. The receiver unit can, for example, be attached to or in a piece of furniture, a lamp, a smoke detector, a car or a fire extinguisher, and in particular have a fixed mains power connection, e.g. be designed as a plug socket part and permanently plug into a socket.

For certain types of emergencies, it is also recommended that the transmitter unit records sound recordings and / or image recordings and / or video recordings from the surroundings of the transmitter unit as soon as the help request signal is triggered, in order to be able to identify the perpetrator later, for example. Depending on the application, this can also be infrared images and / or thermal images.

In order to facilitate the location of the person in need of assistance, or to make it possible in the first place, the transmitter unit emits its own coordinates to the surroundings, in particular integrated into the help request signal, and for this purpose the transmitter's own location, in particular in the form of coordinates Unit, preferably by means of a GPS receiver.

Since such a transmitter unit also requires an energy supply, generally in the form of an electric battery, the transmitter unit preferably emits a charge warning signal when the state of charge of the energy store, in particular the electric batteries, drops below a predetermined warning threshold. Reloading, for example overnight, can in particular be carried out using a charging cradle which is close to the user's bed at night.

The transmitter unit does not have to be permanently active and thus consume electricity, but before the help request signal is given, i.e. the transmitter unit is triggered for this, the transmitter unit must first be switched on, but this is done in particular by a and the same switch-on process, for example actuation of a single switch, may be possible.

The delivery of the help request signal is either stopped manually, in particular by the person in need of help himself or a person hurrying to help, or the help request signal can also be deactivated automatically, for example by the transmitter unit determining that a Receiver unit has approached to a very small distance value, i.e. is in the immediate vicinity of about 1 - 2 meters around the transmitter unit.

In another embodiment, the deactivation of the help request signal can also or preferably only be switched off by a superordinate control center, for example the operator of the security network, and / or by a public aid organization, such as the police or fire department, if this also has a receiver -Units are equipped and have reached the person in need.

A renewed either activation of the transmitter unit and / or delivery of the help request signal can preferably only take place after activation by such a higher-level control center, in particular the operator of the security system, which can also be subject to a charge, in particular to prevent misuse ,

The message signal emitted by the receiver unit, which is intended to announce the receipt of an aid request signal, can also be an optical, acoustic or haptic signal, for example a vibration, if desired and can be set.

The receiver unit can preferably be deactivated if the owner of the receiver unit does not want to be disturbed.

The notification signal can also be the audio or video recording, if such is output by the transmitter unit as a help request signal or accompanying it to the receiver units.

The receiver unit can output a location signal as a notification signal or in addition to the notification signal, with the aid of which it is possible for the owner of the receiver unit to find the transmitter unit emitting the help request signal.

This can be an optical signal in that, for example, an arrow or pointer on a display of the receiver unit points in the direction in which the emitting transmitter unit is located, and / or also an acoustic signal or other optical signal, the intensity of which is changes depending on the distance and / or the orientation of the receiver unit to the transmitter unit, so that the location of the transmitter unit is possible.

The transmitter units can also - provided they are switched on - continuously or at defined time intervals wirelessly emit an individual presence signal which is registered by the surrounding receiver units at a maximum distance which preferably corresponds approximately to the range of the transmitter units can.

As a result, such a combined transmitter-receiver unit, which initially acts as a receiver unit for the presence signal, can subsequently adjust its signal strength depending on the number of presence signals received when sending its own help request signal such that it is likely no more than a predetermined number of receiver units receive the help request signal. This avoids that too many helpers are bothered and called.

In particular, the presence signal can contain an additional classification signal which classifies the transmitter unit emitting the presence signal as belonging to a certain class of the security association, for example as a private person, company, security service, emergency service, fire service, police. This makes it possible to set the range so that, for example, one of the desired services is also within the range. Of course, all of this happens automatically.

Furthermore, the presence signal can contain the coordinates of the position of the emitting transmitter unit and the receiver unit can evaluate these coordinates and determine the distance of the sending transmitter unit, in particular for those classes of presence signals which indicate a rescue organization.

A corresponding fuse link, as used to operate the previously described Security method is used, thus has a plurality of transmitter units and a plurality of receiver units, which are able to receive wireless signals, in particular help request signals, from the transmitter units.

In practice, a large number of the transmitter units and / or receiver units will each be a combined transmitter-receiver unit, since the idea of mutual help means that, if necessary, you can not only request help with your transmitter unit, but also can be brought to the aid of another person via his receiver unit in an emergency.

The transmitter unit thus contains a transmitter that is capable of wirelessly emitting at least the help request signal, which is then transmitted by the receiver units that are in the reception area or, depending on the transmission method used, regardless of the distance , can be received.

For this purpose, each transmitter unit has a help switch with which the owner of the transmitter unit can trigger the help request signal, that is to say start it, and each receiver unit comprises a report signal generator which is capable of this , immediately - only in a few cases can it also make sense to postpone the time - after receiving a help request signal to automatically send a notification signal that its owner can perceive. For this purpose, the signal generator is connected back to the receiver of the receiver unit. The help switch is designed so that, as a rule, the help request signal continues to be emitted by the transmitter even after the help switch is released.

The combined transmitter-receiver units therefore contain both a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver of the transceiver unit, which receives an help request signal from its own unit, of course does not emit a report signal.

The transmitter unit, in particular the transmitter-receiver unit, preferably also has a deterrent signal generator in order to emit a conspicuous optical or acoustic deterrent signal, for example to evade an attacker, and preferably also a deterrent switch for this purpose. to turn on this deterrent signal.

For this purpose, the transmitter unit will preferably have a loudspeaker and / or a light source.

The transmitter unit also preferably has a charge signal generator which emits a charge warning signal to the owner when the energy store is low, which also applies in particular to the receiver unit.

The transmitter unit preferably also has a camera and / or a microphone in order to take sound, image or video recordings of the surroundings of the microphone or the camera when the help request signal is triggered and either to save it or to accompany the help. Submit request signal.

The transmitter unit preferably also has a location signal generator, which is able to emit a location signal wirelessly integrated in the help request signal or accompanying it, with the aid of which the receiving receiver unit detects the position of the relevant transmitter unit can locate.

The transmitter unit preferably also comprises a presence signal generator, which emits a corresponding presence signal wirelessly permanently or at certain time intervals, so that surrounding units, in front of all combined transmitter / receiver units, can receive this and know it through evaluation which radius and how many combined transmitter-receiver units are available.

The receiver unit preferably comprises a location signal evaluator to output a received location signal, and in particular a display, for example to show an optical location indicator, such as a directional arrow, in which the help request signal emitting transmitter Unit, or an indicator for the distance to the transmitting transmitter unit, which is shown on the display.

If necessary, the display unit can also show image or video recordings transmitted by the transmitter unit.

On the other hand, such a location indicator can also be output acoustically via a loudspeaker, for example by the frequency of an optical location indicator becoming ever faster the more the receiver unit is held with a certain marking in the direction of the transmitting transmitter unit and / or the location display gets louder the closer you get to the sending transmitter unit or vice versa.

Audio recordings that may have been transmitted from the transmitter unit can also be output via a loudspeaker in the receiver unit.

The receiver unit has, in particular, a report signal generator in order to emit a report signal to its owner, which states that an aid request signal is received.

The receiver unit and / or the transmitter unit and / or transmitter-receiver unit preferably has a GPS receiver in order to determine its own position and to be able to transmit it wirelessly or by other means.

In order for the security procedure, which is based on reciprocity, to work well, it will probably be necessary to limit the share of only transmitter units in the security network, since they are not available as helping persons or organizations if necessary.

In practice, the most common case of a unit will be that of a combined transmitter-receiver unit, and preferably only professional aid organizations, such as the police, fire brigade, rescue services and possibly the control center that operates the security network, will only be one receiver. Own unity.

The transmitter unit and / or the receiver unit and / or the transmitter-receiver unit is preferably permanently installed in a carrier object, in particular a piece of clothing, an accessory or a piece of jewelry, or is designed to be as little visible as possible.

The receiver unit or transmitter-receiver unit is preferably arranged in or on a carrying object, such as a piece of furniture, a smoke detector, a lamp, or a car, which is not to be carried on the body, in particular stationary, and which preferably itself requires a power supply, and is in particular designed as a socket plug that can remain permanently plugged into the power socket.

• 1b: eine Situation mit einer Vielzahl von Mitgliedern des Sicherheits-Verbundes,
• 2: eine Sender-Einheit,
• 3: eine Empfänger-Einheit.

Embodiments according to the invention are described in more detail below by way of example. Show it:

• 1a : three members of the security association,
• 1b : a situation with a large number of members of the security association,
• 2 : a transmitter unit,
• 3 : a receiver unit.

1a shows a potentially needy person 100 , on the example on the wrist in the form of a bracelet a transmitter-receiver unit 23 is shown, only alternatively on a necklace a pure transmitter unit 2 in the form of a pendant 10 as a carrier object 10 or a transmitter unit 2 built into a belt buckle as a carrier item 10 ,

The transmitter-receiver unit is actually present and in operation 23 as a bracelet by the person in need 100 has also been activated, ie the help switch 20 - as with the 2 explained - was actuated and then as a sending transmitter unit 2 * a help request signal 4 ' emits in all directions.

This help request signal 4 ' can be accompanied by a deterrent signal 5 ' , for example a loud noise or a strong light emitted by the transmitter-receiver unit 23 is delivered if, in particular, the unit was set accordingly, because the emergency situation is a robbery.

The help request signal 4 ' is shown by the receiver unit 3 or combined transmitter-receiver unit 23 - here in the form of a cell phone or integrated into a cell phone - which is within the reach of the unit of the person in need 100 are received, and these in turn give a z. B. optical or acoustic signal 11 ' depending on the person wearing this unit 99 , the potential helper 101 , is perceived, who therefore knows that a person is waiting nearby for help and therefore the help request signal 4 ' sending out.

The help request signal 4 ' can - in different ways, e.g. B. a the signal 4 ' forwarding chain of transmitter-receiver units 23 - also a superordinate control center 50 reach, for example, the operator of the security network, and this control center 50 can in turn be an alarm center 51 , such as an emergency medical service or the police, alarm and the person in need of help in addition to the helpers arriving and trying from the surrounding area 101 in the form of people 99 which is a receiver unit 3 or a combined transmitter-receiver unit 23 carry, send.

1b shows the help-request situation in a larger overview:

In this case, the person in need of help 100 via a transmitter unit 2 who also currently have a help request signal 4 with a reach 52 emits.

All within range 52 the sending transmitter unit 2 * located receiver units 3 or combined units 3 or combined transmitter-receiver units 23 units located - if they are switched on at all - receive this help request signal 4 ' and can help the person in need 100 then rush to help.

One of the within reach 52 located receiver units 3 can happen to be an alarm center 51 , e.g. a nearby police station or fire station, but this will not always be the case.

The control center too 50 , for example the operator of this backup network, will usually be out of reach 52 the currently needy person 100 , i.e. the sending transmitter unit 2 * , are located.

However, it can be provided that those combined transmitter-receiver units 23 that the help request signal 4 ' received since they are within range 52 are in turn pass this signal on to the control center 50 a non-range signal, such as a cell phone signal 7 ' provided that this transmitter-receiver unit 23 via a cell phone transmitter / receiver 7 features.

In this way, the control center 50 in turn a suitable and nearest alarm center 51 Inform the rescue service, fire brigade or the police or even a private security service and to the person in need of help 100 post like this also in 1a is indicated.

Since the security procedure and the security network are based on the principle of reciprocity, care is taken to ensure that most of the units used are combined transceiver units 23 are.

Pure transmitter units 2 are only useful if they are from one person 99 / 100 that would not be able to be worn by another person 100 To provide help, for example for very old or sick people.

Pure receiver units 3 are useful if they are users or carriers who are likely to be unable to get themselves into an emergency situation, for example members or offices of the police, fire department, security service or an ambulance.

The advantage of a pure transmitter unit 2 can be, among other things, that it requires fewer features than a combined transmitter-receiver unit 23 , and thus smaller, lighter and less conspicuous to produce, because it is important that the transmitter unit is used for the feared emergency of a robbery 2 is not recognized as such by the perpetrator and can be removed or switched off, possibly even before an aid request signal 4 ' from the needy person 100 can be delivered.

The individual units can thus be equipped differently, on the one hand their price, but on the other hand their size and weight may depend.

Unless many or all of them are within range 52 located receiver units 3 or transceiver units 23 a presence signal 14 ' can give up, the sending transmitter unit 2 * depending on the number of presence signals received 14 ' and knowing their range, the strength of your own help request signal 4 ' and therefore the range 52 vary so that a sufficient but not too large number of receiver units 3 or transceiver units 2 within reach 52 lies.

In 2 is a pure transmitter unit 2 in the form of z. B. shown a bangle in 3 a pure receiver unit 3 ,

It goes without saying that a combined transmitter-receiver unit 23 at least the basic equipment features of both a transmitter unit 2 as well as a receiver unit 3 must have, as follows based on the individual units 2 respectively. 3 described:

The transmitter unit 2 the 2 First of all, it needs an energy supply, usually in the form of an electric battery 9 to supply the existing equipment features or modules, which are usually operated electrically, with energy.

The basic equipment features of a transmitter unit 2 are a help switch 20 by the carrier, the person who may be in need of help 100 , must be pressed so that one in the unit 2 / 23 integrated help signal generator 4 via an integrated transmitter 2 ' the help request signal. 4 'releases, either permanently or at predetermined time intervals.

All other features and modules are for the transmitter unit 2 optional:

Integrated in the transmitter unit 2 can first of all be a charging signal generator 8th be the one from the carrier 100 gives a noticeable signal if the energy content of the battery 9 is below a minimum value.

For these as well as for other displays and signals, it makes sense if the transmitter unit 2 a display 13 includes in which such advertisements and notifications in writing, by flashing a warning light or the like can be displayed.

The transmitter unit 2 can - primarily in the event of a robbery as an emergency situation - a deterrent signal generator 5 in the form of a speaker 18 and / or a strong light source 21 include that of a deterrent signal generator 5 , which is also part of the transmitter unit 2 is activated and started, in particular started periodically, in order to increase the attention value.

There is preferably a separate deterrent signal switch for this purpose 5a present if the person 100 the deterrent signal 5 ' should only be able to activate optionally.

The speaker 18 and / or the light source 21 However, they are also useful in other emergency situations, e.g. in the event of a medical emergency, to help people 101 finding the person in need of help 100 to facilitate or to enable at all.

Another way of finding the sending transmitter unit 2 * is that in the transmitter unit 2 a location signal generator 12 is integrated, which is a location signal 12 ' which is either in addition to the help request signal 4 ' is delivered, or its location information, in particular the position of the transmitter unit 2 , in the help request signal 4 ' is integrated, and by this help request signal 4 ' receiving receiver unit 3 with the help of a location signal evaluator 17 can be evaluated and converted into a corresponding display, which helps the sending transmitter unit 2 * find.

The location signal generator 12 can be especially with a GPS receiver 6 be connected, also in the transmitter unit 2 is included to determine your own position easily and precisely.

The transmitter unit 2 can also be a cell phone transmitter / receiver 7 included, which as a transmitter 2 ' can serve or in addition to the transmitter emitting radio waves 2 ' to exchange information in parallel with the cell phone center via a cell phone network or - if this will be implemented in a larger style in the near future - with other cell phone transmitters / receivers in the vicinity 7 to communicate directly.

The transmitter unit preferably comprises 2 also a camera 15 , the individual images or video recordings - starting with the activation of the help button 20 - permanently or periodically from the environment, and also a microphone 16 , which analogously records sound recordings permanently or periodically from this point in time.

Both picture signals and sound signals are in the transmitter unit 2 either stored, for which then a storage unit (not shown) must be present, and / or additionally or as part of the help request signal 4 ' also broadcast and can be sent from the surrounding receiver units 3 or transceiver units 23 , are received.

The pure receiver unit 3 according to 3 as basic equipment features or modules also preferably includes an electric battery again 9 as an energy supply.

Furthermore, a recipient 3 ' that is able to send a help request signal 4 ' to receive and a message signal generator 11 which one from the carrier 99 or user 99 the receiver unit 3 noticeable signal 11 ' emits, be it an acoustic signal, an optical signal or, for example, a vibration signal. Accordingly, the message signal generator 11 a light source, a speaker, or a vibrator.

Optional features of the receiver unit 3 are still - for the reasons described above - z. B. a cell phone transmitter / receiver 7 ,

It can also be a signaling signal switch 19 be present the carrier 99 will operate if he does not want to be disturbed under any circumstances, not even by a signal signal 11 ' ,

The receiver unit can also preferably be a location signal evaluator 12a include a received location signal 12 ' can evaluate and convert it into an advertisement for the wearer of the receiver unit, which makes it easier for the person in need of help 100 , i.e. the sending transmitter unit 2 * to find.

For example, the receiver unit can also be used for this purpose 3 via a display 13 have, then on the location signal evaluation unit 12a causes, for example, a directional arrow to be displayed as a location display, in which the sending transmitter unit 2 * is best combined with a distance indicator that shows the distance to the sending transmitter unit 2 * indicates.

If such location signals are not available, the wearer can 99 . 101 the receiver unit 3 Orientate only on whether he has an optical or acoustic deterrent signal in his environment, which is then as typical as possible 5 perceives which of the sending transmitter unit 2 * a person in need of help 100 can originate.

The receiver unit 3 can preferably also use a GPS receiver 6 include, which serves the own position determination and thus an accurate determination of the distance and direction of the sending transmitter unit 2 * , at least more precisely than with a cell phone transmitter / receiver 7 , who can only carry out a rough location based on the so-called radio cell location, in which the position of his own cell phone transmitter / receiver is determined from the number of surrounding cell phone radio cells in which the own cell phone transceiver is currently registered 7 can be determined.

Even with the receiver unit 3 is a charge signal generator 8th useful to - for example on the display 13 - a charge warning signal 8th' display if the battery charge level 9 falls below a minimum threshold.
