Beschreibung des Standes der TechnikDescription of the Prior Art Ausgangslagestarting position

Persönliche Notfallsysteme haben in den letzten 20 Jahren Einzug gehalten in das Leben insbesondere von

  • älteren Menschen,
  • hilfsbedürftigen Menschen, sowie
  • Kindern, ferner
  • Personen in Berufsgruppen, die besonderen, orts- und/oder berufsspezifischen Gefahrensituationen ausgesetzt sein können.
Personal emergency systems have been introduced into the lives of, in particular, the last 20 years
  • older people,
  • needy people, as well
  • Children, further
  • Persons in occupational groups who may be exposed to particular, location- and / or occupation-specific hazardous situations.

Allen Systemen gemeinsam ist, dass nach Auslösen des Notfallalarms eine oder mehrere dritte Personen, sei es ein Notfall-Center, also gewöhnlich ein Callcenter, angerufen wird, oder eine oder mehrere Personen aus dem Familien- und/oder Bekanntenkreis des Nutzers.Common to all systems is that after triggering the emergency alarm, one or more third parties, be it an emergency center, usually a call center, is called, or one or more people from the family and / or circle of the user.

Es ist auffällig, dass bei allen Notfallsystemen, die derzeit am Markt erhältlich sind, undifferenziert der Alarm übermittelt wird. Grund dafür ist, dass die Industrie der Notfallsysteme ursprünglich auf Festnetz-Telefonleitungen angewiesen war, bei denen ausschließlich die Möglichkeit der Rückfrage durch das Callcenter oder den Freundeskreis bestand; durch Nachfrage konnten oder zumindest sollten diese herausfinden, welchen Grund hatte.It is noticeable that in all emergency systems that are currently available on the market, the alarm is transmitted undifferentiated. The reason for this is that the emergency systems industry was originally reliant on landline telephone lines that only had the option of being called by the call center or the circle of friends; by demand, or at least they should be able to find out what had reason.

Problemdarstellungproblem Statement

Dies hat die negative Folge, dass Notfallsysteme am Markt u.a. deshalb unbeliebt sind, weil mangels Differenzierung der Empfänger des Notfallsignals in einen Zustand versetzt wird, der grundsätzlich allerhöchster Aufmerksamkeit und sofortiger Handlung bedarf, auch wenn ein solcher Fall nicht gegeben ist; zum Beispiel kann ein älterer Mensch mit einem Familienmitglied eine Vereinbarung getroffen haben, dass sich das Familienmitglied um den älteren kümmert, nicht nur im Notfall, sondern auch zum Beispiel für diesen kocht. Verspürt nun das ältere Familienmitglied starken Hunger, so wird er oder sie den Notfall Alarm drücken, zum Beispiel weil es die Telefonnummer des jüngeren Familienmitglieds vergessen hat, und somit beim jüngere Familienmitglied denselben emotionalen Zustand auslösen, wie bei einem Unfall. Erst die Rückfrage führt zur Entwarnung, Beruhigung und Aufklärung der Situation. Umgekehrt würde eine vielleicht jahrelange, regelmäßige Benutzung des Alarmanrufs zur Essensbestellung beim Familienmitglied einen psychischen Zustand herbeiführen nach dem Motto "Er/sie hat wieder Hunger" und eine verzögerte Reaktion bewirken, die u.U. nicht einem plötzlichen, echten und schweren Notfall gerecht wird.This has the negative consequence that emergency systems are unpopular on the market, inter alia, because, for lack of differentiation, the receiver of the emergency signal is put into a condition that requires the utmost attention and immediate action, even if such a case does not exist; for example, an elderly person Having made an agreement with a family member that the family member cares for the elderly, not only in an emergency but also, for example, for this cook. If the older member of the family feels a strong hunger, he or she will sound the alarm, for example because it has forgotten the phone number of the younger member of the family, and thus trigger the same emotional state in the younger member of the family as in an accident. Only the inquiry leads to the all-clear, reassurance and clarification of the situation. Conversely, using the alarm call to order food with the family member for several years at a time might induce a mental state of "he / she is hungry again" and cause a delayed reaction that may not respond to a sudden, real and serious emergency.

Beschreibungdescription

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird durch die beigefügten Ansprüche bereitgestellt. Insbesondere stellt die vorliegende Erfindung ein Verfahren zur Differenzierung von Verfassungszuständen beim Auslösen eines Notfallalarms an einer tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung bereit, umfassend Anzeigen einer Vielzahl von Alarmzuständen; Ermitteln einer ersten Auswahl eines Benutzers, wobei die erste Auswahl eine Art des Alarmzustands festlegt; Anzeigen einer Dringlichkeits- und/oder Intensitätsskala; Ermitteln einer zweiten Auswahl des Benutzers, wobei die zweite Auswahl einer Dringlichkeit und/oder Intensität des Alarmzustands der ersten Auswahl entspricht; und Übermitteln eines Alarmsignals einschließlich zuvor erfasster Ortsdaten der elektronischen Vorrichtung an einen vorbestimmten Kreis von Alarmempfängern, wobei der vorbestimmte Kreis von Alarmempfängern durch den Benutzer vorab in der tragbaren elektronischen Vorrichtung in Abhängigkeit von der Vielzahl von Alarmzuständen und der Dringlichkeit- und/oder Intensität eines Alarmzustands bestimmt wird, wobei bei vordefinierten Orten andere entsprechend vordefinierte Alarmzustände angezeigt werden und entsprechend andere Kreise von Alarmempfängern mit angepasstem Alarmsignal informiert werden.The present invention is provided by the appended claims. In particular, the present invention provides a method for differentiating constitutional states in triggering an emergency alarm on a portable electronic device, comprising displaying a plurality of alarm conditions; Determining a first selection of a user, the first selection determining a type of alarm condition; Displaying an urgency and / or intensity scale; Determining a second selection of the user, wherein the second selection corresponds to an urgency and / or intensity of the alarm condition of the first selection; and transmitting an alarm signal including previously acquired location data of the electronic device to a predetermined circle of alarm receivers, wherein the predetermined circle of alarm receivers by the user in advance in the portable electronic device in response to the plurality of alarm conditions and the urgency and / or intensity of an alarm condition is determined, wherein at predefined locations other correspondingly predefined alarm conditions are displayed and informed accordingly other circles of alarm receivers with customized alarm signal.

Der Begriff "Notfallalarm" oder "Alarm" ist im Zusammenhang der vorliegenden Erfindung bereit auszulegen. So kann ein Notfall von einem medizinischen Vorfall, der sofortige Maßnahmen erfordert (Herzinfarkt), über einen Unfall im Sinne (schwerer Sturz bis Knöchel verstaucht) bis zu weniger schwerwiegenden Ereignissen reichen, die im üblichen Sprachgebrauch keinen Notfall oder Alarm darstellen/erfordern, z.B. Hunger, Langeweile, Frieren etc.The term "emergency alarm" or "alarm" is to be construed in the context of the present invention. For example, an emergency from a medical incident requiring immediate action (heart attack) to an accident in the sense of having a severe fall to ankle may result in less severe events that in normal language do not pose an emergency or alarm, such as hunger , Boredom, freezing etc.

In einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung kann die Anzeige der Dringlichkeits- und/oder Intensitätsskala in Form eines Diagramms erfolgen, wobei eine Achse der Dringlichkeit und die andere Achse der Intensität des Vorfalls entsprechen. So kann ein Benutzer einer elektronischen Vorrichtung mit berührungsempfindlicher Anzeigevorrichtung ("Touch Screen") mit einer einzigen Bewegung, z.B. einer Berührung eines Punktes in dem Diagramm oder Ziehen einer Markierung auf den gewünschten Punkt des Diagramms, die Daten bezüglich der Dringlichkeit und Intensität einstellen.In one embodiment of the present invention, the indication of the urgency and / or intensity scale may be in the form of a graph, where one axis of urgency and the other axis correspond to the intensity of the incident. Thus, a user of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display device ("touch screen") with a single movement, e.g. touching a point in the diagram or dragging a marker to the desired point of the diagram, setting the data regarding urgency and intensity.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird die Anzeige der Vielzahl von Alarmzuständen durch ein Detektionsergebnis eines Sensors der elektronischen Vorrichtung eingeschränkt. Z.B. kann die Auswahl automatisch auf eine Anzahl unterschiedlich schwerer Stürze bzw. Unfälle eingeschränkt werden, wenn ein Kipp- oder Beschleunigungssensor eine ungewöhnliche Kippbewegung bzw. einen Aufprall erfasst. In einer Ausführungsform wird die Einschränkung der Alarmzustände durch Umsortieren einer angezeigten Liste vorgenommen, wobei jedoch unwahrscheinliche Notfälle nach wie vor angezeigt, jedoch weiter unten in der Liste angezeigt werden.In one embodiment of the invention, the indication of the plurality of alarm conditions is limited by a detection result of a sensor of the electronic device. For example, For example, the selection may be automatically limited to a number of different types of crashes or accidents when a tilt or acceleration sensor senses an unusual tilting movement or impact. In one embodiment, the restriction of the alarm conditions is made by resorting a displayed list, but unlikely emergencies are still displayed, but displayed further down the list.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung entspricht jeder mögliche Alarmzustand einen anpassbaren Kreis von Alarmempfängern, wobei die zweite Auswahl des Benutzers den anpassbaren Kreis von Alarmempfängern abhängig von der ausgewählten Dringlichkeit und/oder Intensität erweitert, wenn die Dringlichkeit und/oder Intensität einen vorbestimmten Schwellenwert des Alarmzustands überschreitet.In one embodiment of the invention, each possible alarm state corresponds to an adjustable circle of alarm receivers, the second selection of the user expanding the customizable circle of alarm receivers depending on the selected urgency and / or intensity if the urgency and / or intensity exceeds a predetermined alarm state threshold ,

Im Zusammenspiel mit einem Patent des Patentanmelders (WIPO WO 2014/170081 , DE 812752671 ) kann durch die vorangestellte Dringlichkeit und auch Abänderungen sowohl von Dringlichkeit als auch Intensität festgelegt werden, dass weitere Personenkreise oder weniger weite Personenkreise und Ersthelfer kontaktiert werden.In conjunction with a patent of the patent applicant (WIPO WO 2014/170081 .

Erklärung der ErfindungExplanation of the invention

Ein System, in dem zunächst eine Differenzierung nach Wahl des Nutzers stattfindet, welcher Art der mehr oder weniger stark gefühlte Notfall ist und in einem weiteren Schritt als Konsequenz dieser Wahl ein insoweit differenzierender Notfallalarm, bei dem zum einen ein anderer Personenkreis von Ersthelfern (first respondern) angesprochen werden kann; zum anderen in Zusammenspiel mit Patent WIPO WO 2014/170081 ( DE 812752671 ) des unterzeichnenden Patentanmelders respektive genauer mit den darin beschriebenen Lifecircles, eine Differenzierung ferner insoweit stattfinden, dass nach Kombination von festgestelltem Ort und differenzierter Angabe des Notfalls andere technische Folgen ausgelöst werden können.A system in which first a differentiation takes place at the user's choice, what kind of more or less strongly felt emergency is and in a further step as a consequence of this election a far differentiating emergency alarm in which on the one hand another group of first responders (first responder ) can be addressed; on the other hand in interaction with patent WIPO WO 2014/170081 ( DE 812752671 ) of the undersigned patent applicant or, more precisely, with the lifecircles described therein, a differentiation also take place to the extent that other technical consequences can be triggered after combination of established location and differentiated indication of the emergency.

Beschreibung der MethodeDescription of the method

Im Folgenden soll zunächst dargestellt werden, wie eine Differenzierung nach dem Alarm stattfinden kann nach Auslösen des Alarms; im 2. Teil wird dargestellt, wie die Alarmauslösung und Differenzierung zeitgleich stattfinden kannIn the following, we will first describe how a differentiation after the alarm can take place after the alarm has been triggered; Part 2 shows how the alarm triggering and differentiation can take place at the same time

1. Alarm und anschließende Differenzierung1. Alarm and subsequent differentiation

Drückt bei heute im Handel erhältlichen Notfallsystemen der Nutzer einen Notfallknopf, so wird regelmäßig ein Countdowns ausgelöst, der dem auslösenden Nutzer die Möglichkeit gibt, sofern er den Knopf versehentlich gedrückt hat oder aus sonstigen Gründen der Notfall Alarm ausgelöst wurde, den Alarm noch vor Absendung abzubrechen. Die Zeitdauer beträgt regelmäßig zwischen 5 und 10 Sekunden, einerseits ausreichend, um die Alarm Auslösung zu verhindern, andererseits keine wesentliche Zeit, die eine wesentliche Verschlechterung der Situation des Auslösenden darstellen würde.If user emergency systems are commercially available today, a countdown is triggered on a regular basis, which gives the triggering user the possibility, if he has accidentally pressed the button or if the emergency alarm has been triggered for other reasons, to cancel the alarm before sending it , The period of time is regularly between 5 and 10 seconds, on the one hand sufficient to prevent the alarm triggering, on the other hand, no substantial time, the essential Worsening the situation of the initiator.

Diese Zeitspanne kann nun genutzt werden, um dem auslösenden Nutzer eine Bewertung seines Notfalls in Eigenregie durchzuführen. Dieser Vorgang und das Ergebnis dieses Vorgangs soll im Folgenden als "Differenzierung" bezeichnet werden.This period of time can now be used to carry out an evaluation of his emergency self-directed the triggering user. This process and the result of this process will be referred to below as "differentiation".

Wählt der Nutzer nichts, oder kann er nichts wählen, so würde keine gesonderte Mitteilung und damit der Standardfall übermittelt werden; somit werden zum Beispiel alle hinterlegten Ersthelfer über den Notfall informiert.If the user chooses nothing, or he can not choose anything, no separate message and thus the default case would be transmitted; Thus, for example, all stored first responders are informed about the emergency.

Löst ein Sensor, wie z.B. ein Fall-Sensor den Alarm aus, so kann automatisch differenziert werden, welche Art von Notfall zum Auslösen des Alarms geführt hat; im Falle eines Armbands oder Anhängers mit Fallsensor und manueller Betätigungstaste könnte zum Beispiel einmal der Fall selbst oder das manuelle Betätigen des Notfallknopfs als Differenzierung mitgeteilt werden. Daraus kann vom Empfänger nun zum einen geschlossen werden, ob die auslösende Person gestürzt ist oder selbst in der Lage war, das Notfallsignal abzusetzen, sowie u.U. Daten, die der Auslösung zugrunde liegen.Solves a sensor, such as If a fall sensor sounds the alarm, it can be automatically differentiated which type of emergency triggered the alarm; for example, in the case of a bracelet or trailer with a fall sensor and a manual actuation button, the case itself or the manual actuation of the emergency button could be reported as differentiation. From this, the recipient can now conclude on the one hand, whether the triggering person has fallen or was even able to cancel the emergency signal, and u.U. Data underlying the trip.

Besonders im Fall der manuellen Auslösung wird dem Nutzer des Notfallsystems nun weiter die Möglichkeit gegeben, aus einer Liste vordefinierter und/oder von ihm selbst voreingestellter Situationen auszuwählen. Typische Situationen wären zum Beispiel Sturz, Feuer, Übelkeit, Schwindelanfall und ähnliches.Especially in the case of manual triggering the user of the emergency system is now further given the opportunity to select from a list of predefined and / or pre-set by himself situations. Typical situations would be, for example, fall, fire, nausea, dizziness and the like.

In einer Abwandlung der Erfindung können vom Nutzer zusätzlich oder als einziges besondere Differenzierungen hinterlegt werden, die vielleicht nur vereinzelt und/oder regional und/oder zeitlich eine Rolle spielen, wie zum Beispiel in einem Bürgerkriegsgebiet Einschlag von Granaten oder die Sichtung von Angreifern, bei einem Ausflug die Orientierungslosigkeit.In a modification of the invention, the user may additionally or only be provided with special differentiations, which may only be isolated and / or regionally and / or temporally important, such as in a civil war zone impact of grenades or the sighting of attackers, at one Excursion the disorientation.

Folgen der DifferenzierungConsequences of differentiation a) Mitteilung an differenzierte Personenkreisea) Communication to differentiated groups of people

Als Folge der von dem Nutzer gewählten Einstellung - Differenzierung - kann a priori hinterlegt sein, dass verschiedene Personen oder -kreise informiert werden.As a result of the setting chosen by the user - differentiation - it can be deposited a priori that different persons or groups are informed.

So würde bei Wahl der Differenzierung "Hunger" im oben genannten Fall nur eine Nachricht "ich habe Hunger" an das für diese Differenzierung voreingestellte Familienmitglied übersendet werden, bei Wahl der Differenzierung "Ich bin gefallen" könnte ein größerer, voreingestellter Personenkreis informiert werden, bei Voreinstellung "Übelkeit" Verwandte und der Hausarzt.Thus, if the differentiation "hunger" was selected in the above case, only one message "I am hungry" would be sent to the family member preset for this differentiation, if the differentiation "I am fallen" was chosen, a larger, preset group of people could be informed Default "nausea" relatives and the family doctor.

Die Voreinstellung wird in der Regel mit 2 Komponenten hinterlegt bzw. versehen werden können: Einmal einer bestimmten Dringlichkeit d.h. wie schnell sollte der Empfänger agieren und zum anderen der Intensität, welches die tatsächliche oder gefühlte Schwere des Notfalls in den Augen des Nutzers hat.The presetting can usually be stored or provided with 2 components: Once a certain urgency i. how fast should the recipient act and, second, the intensity of the actual or perceived severity of the emergency in the eyes of the user.

Als Beispiel seien die beiden Extreme Feuer und Hunger genannt: bei Feuer ist sowohl Intensität als auch Dringlichkeit extrem hoch, daher werden die regelmäßig voreingestellten Personen, und die vorgestellte Nummer der Feuerwehr kontaktiert, also ein großer Personenkreis und um sofortige und zielgerichtete Hilfe gebeten; die Voreinstellung Hunger würde regelmäßig eine geringe Intensität und eine noch geringe Dringlichkeit zeigen, da in der Regel eine Reaktionen binnen 20-30 Minuten durchaus ausreichend ist und zumindest im normalen Rahmen kein Schmerz durch Hunger festgestellt werden kann, eher zunächst ein unangenehmes Gefühl.As an example, the two extremes fire and hunger are called: in fire, both intensity and urgency are extremely high, therefore the regularly preset persons, and the presented number of the fire department contacted, so a large group of people and asked for immediate and targeted help; the default hunger would regularly show a low intensity and a low urgency, as usually a reaction within 20-30 minutes is quite sufficient and at least in the normal context, no pain can be determined by hunger, rather, first an uncomfortable feeling.

Dies kann Auswirkungen auf die grafische Darstellung der Mitteilungsfunktion haben: so kann dem Nutzer die Möglichkeit gegeben werden, sowohl Intensität als auch Dringlichkeit noch zu ändern. So könnte im Fall des Hungers, wenn der Nutzer sich zum Beispiel längere Zeit gelassen hat, um den Alarm auszulösen von ihm sowohl Dringlichkeit "ich will wirklich in den nächsten Minuten etwas essen" als auch Intensität - "ich habe so starken Hunger, dass es schon weh tut/ mir schlecht ist", eingestellt werden kann.This can have an impact on the graphical presentation of the message function: thus, the user can be given the opportunity to change both intensity and urgency. Thus, in the case of hunger, for example, if the user has taken a long time to trigger the alarm, it may be both urgent "I really want to eat something in the next few minutes" as well as intensity - "I'm so hungry that it hurts / I feel bad" can be stopped.

b) Kombination LifeCircles und Differenzierungb) Combination LifeCircles and Differentiation

Im Zusammenspiel mit einem Patent des Patentanmelders (WIPO WO 2014/170081 , DE 812752671 ) kann durch die vorangestellte Dringlichkeit und auch Abänderungen sowohl von Dringlichkeit als auch Intensität festgelegt werden, dass weitere Personenkreise oder weniger weite Personenkreise und Ersthelfer kontaktiert werden.In conjunction with a patent of the patent applicant (WIPO WO 2014/170081 . DE 812752671 ) can be determined by the urgent urgency as well as by both urgency and intensity modifications to contact more people or less wide groups of people and first responders.

So kann die Einstellung "merkwürdige Personen im Haus" in der Regel an Nachbarn des Hauses verschickt werden mit geringer Dringlichkeit und geringer Intensität; würde Intensität und/oder Dringlichkeit aber erhöht werden, so könnte dies über einen größeren Personenkreis bis dahin vorformuliert werden, dass zum Beispiel auch die Polizei gerufen wird, wenn zum Beispiel der Nutzer einen Einbruchsversuch durch fremde Personen im Ausgang wahrnehmen kann.Thus, the attitude "strange people in the house" can usually be sent to neighbors of the house with little urgency and low intensity; However, if intensity and / or urgency were to be increased, this could be pre-formulated by a larger group of people until, for example, the police are called if, for example, the user is able to perceive an attempted intrusion by strangers in the exit.

c) technische Konsequenzenc) technical consequences

Die Differenzierung kann auch verschiedene technische Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen, also nachfolgende Systemabläufe beeinflussen. So kann bei einem Anwendungsbeispiel bei einem Gerät, welches besonderes jungen Frauen helfen soll, Vergewaltigungen zu verhindern, voreingestellt werden, dass eine Übertragung von Notfallsituationen von

  • einfach - "ich befinde mich in einem merkwürdigen Ort" über
  • schwerwiegend - "merkwürdige Menschen kommen mir entgegen" bis hin zu
  • akut, "Beginn eines Vergewaltigungsversuchs"
neben der reinen Information verschiedene technische Konsequenzen nach sich ziehen; so würde im einfachen und schwerwiegenden, nicht akuten Fall nur eine Positionsangabe übermittelt werden mit der Bitte, dass der Empfänger binnen Minutenfrist sich nach dem Befinden der Nutzerin erkundigt; beim schwerwiegenden Fall, könnte zusätzlich zum Beispiel neben der Übermittlung der Position auch eine Telefonverbindung an dieselben oder andere oder mehr Personen hergestellt werden, um Zeugen der Situation zu haben; und beim akuten Vergewaltigungsversuch vielleicht sogar keine dritte Person, sondern nur oder zusätzlich die örtliche Polizei informiert werden.The differentiation can also entail various technical consequences, ie influence subsequent system sequences. For example, in a case of a device designed to help particular young women prevent rape, it is possible to pre-set a transmission of emergency situations
  • simply - "I am in a strange place" about
  • serious - "strange people come to meet me" to
  • acute, "beginning of a rape attempt"
in addition to the pure information entail various technical consequences; Thus, in the simple and serious, non-acute case, only a position would be transmitted with the request that the recipient within a few minutes to inquire about the condition of the user; In the serious case, in addition to Example, in addition to the transmission of the position also a telephone connection to the same or other or more persons are made to witness the situation; and in the case of an acute rape attempt, perhaps even no third person, but only or additionally the local police are informed.

Zusätzlich kann - mindestens - eine weitere technische Folge voreingestellt werden, wie

  • das Aufschalten einer Telefon- und Videokonferenz mit den Ersthelfern und örtlichen Behörden, also Polizei, Feuerwehr und Sanitätsdienste, damit diese die Geschehnisse mitverfolgen und entsprechend besser handeln können,
  • technische Ereignisse ausgelöst werden, wie das Einschalten von medizinischen Gerätschaften, die mit der Ereignismitteilung übereinstimmen, oder technische Gerätschaften ausgelöst werden wie das Versprühen von Farbdampf oder -pulver zur besseren Ortung des Nutzers und schließlich
  • automatisierte Warnmeldungen ausgelöst werden, die die Umgebung und die Differenzierung des Vorfalls beinhalten, wie z.B. die automatisierte Suche und Anzeige von Defibrillatoren in der Nähe bei Differenzierung "Herzanfall", damit eintreffende Ersthelfer bereits akustisch wissen, wo sich der nächste Defibrillator befindet.
  • weitere, voreingestellte Informationen an zu benachrichtigenden Personen übersendet werden, sei es durch das zum Auslösen benutzte Gerät selbst, oder durch externe Gerätschaften, in denen die zu übermittelnde Information abgespeichert ist ("Server"), gleich ob diese statisch sind oderdurch einen Algorithmus gefunden werden, der die festgestellten Werte und/oder ausgewählten Differenzierungen verwendet.
In addition - at least - another technical consequence can be preset, such as
  • the initiation of a telephone and video conference with the first responders and local authorities, ie the police, the fire brigade and the medical services, so that they can follow the events and act accordingly,
  • technical events are triggered, such as switching on medical equipment that matches the event message, or technical equipment triggered such as the spraying of paint steam or powder for better location of the user and finally
  • generate automated alerts that include the environment and the differentiation of the incident, such as the automated search and display of nearby defibrillators when differentiating "heart attack" so that incoming first responders already know acoustically where the next defibrillator is.
  • Further, preset information to be notified to persons to be notified, either by the device used for triggering itself, or by external equipment in which the information to be transmitted is stored ("server"), whether they are static or are found by an algorithm using the detected values and / or selected differentiations.

2. Alarm und gleichzeitige Differenzierung2. Alarm and simultaneous differentiation

In einer Abwandlung der Erfindung besteht die Möglichkeit, dass Alarmauslösung und Differenzierung zeitlich zusammenfallen.In a modification of the invention, there is the possibility that alarm triggering and differentiation coincide in time.

In diesem Fall stehen der Alarmknopfs und die vordefinierten Notfallzustände zeitlich nebeneinander. Wird also ein bestimmter Notfall-Zustand gedrückt, so löst dies zeitgleich den Alarm aus, unter Umständen wieder mit dem oben genannten Countdown zur Absicherung gegen Fehlauslösung.In this case, the alarm button and the predefined emergency conditions are timed side by side. So if a certain emergency condition is pressed, it triggers the alarm at the same time, under certain circumstances again with the countdown mentioned above for protection against false tripping.

Dies kann so aussehen, dass entweder nur der Alarmknopf gezeigt wird, der dann in Richtung auf den zu übermittelnden Zustand geschoben wird, oder kein Alarmknopf dargestellt wird, sondern auf einem Display alle oder ein Teil der vordefinierten Notfallzustände, die dann manuell durch Drücken gleichzeitig den Notfallalarm bzw. den Countdown auslösen.This may be such that either only the alarm button is shown, which is then pushed towards the state to be transmitted, or no alarm button is displayed, but on a display all or part of the predefined emergency conditions, which then manually by pressing the Emergency alarm or trigger the countdown.

3. Information ohne Differenzierung3. Information without differentiation

In einer weiteren Abwandlung zu 1. und zu 2. der Erfindung kann ein Bereich, bevorzugt am linken und/oder unteren Rand der Darstellung vorbehalten werden, um Informationen ohne Intensität und/oder Dringlichkeit darzustellen, etwa des Inhalts "bitte um Rückruf bei Gelegenheit". Dies unterscheidet sich von einer normalen Nachricht darin, dass diese an einen, einige oder alle voreingestellten "first responder" übersendet werden kann.In a further modification to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the invention, an area may be reserved, preferably at the left and / or bottom of the display, to present information without intensity and / or urgency, such as the content "please call back on occasion" , This differs from a normal message in that it can be sent to one, some or all of the default "first responders".

4. Änderung bei Bewegung des Nutzers4. Change in movement of the user

In einer Abwandlung kann - neben der damit übersichtlicheren graphischen Darstellung - die Art der Differenzierung geändert werden, je nachdem,

  • wo sich der Nutzer befindet und/oder
  • ob er sich in Bewegung befindet oder statisch agiert, ebenso je nachdem
  • ob er sich im eigenen Haus oder in einem anderen Haus, im Freien oder in einem definierten LifeCircle befindet (siehe Patent WIPO WO 2014/170081 = DE 812752671 ). Die im vorgenannten Patent beschriebene WiFi-Blink Technologie kann dazu genutzt werden.
In a modification, the type of differentiation can be changed in addition to the clearer graphical representation, depending on
  • where the user is located and / or
  • whether it is in motion or static, as well as ever
  • whether he is in his own house or in another house, outdoors or in a defined LifeCircle (see patent WIPO WO 2014/170081 = DE 812752671 ). The WiFi flash technology described in the aforementioned patent can be used for this purpose.

So kann unterschieden werden, ob

  • der Nutzer sich zu Hause befindet und damit nur den typischen Gesundheitsgefahren unterliegt,
  • sich in seinen Arbeitsbereich begeben hat, für den bereits besondere, mit der Arbeit verbundene Gefahren definiert sind, und/oder
  • sich mit einer Geschwindigkeit
    • zwischen 1 und 6 - 7 km/h (typisches Gehen),
    • zwischen 7 und 12 - 16 km/h (Joggen / Laufen bis hin zu Ausdauer-Wettkampftempo je nach Konstitution des Nutzers),
    • oder zwischen etwa 13 und 110 bis 150 km/h (typische Fahrgeschwindigkeit in einem Personenkraftwagen),
    • oder noch schneller (typische Geschwindigkeit in einem möglicherweise öffentlichen Fortbewegungsmittel wie Bahn und Flugzeug) bewegt.
So can be distinguished, whether
  • the user is at home and therefore only subject to typical health hazards,
  • has moved to his / her area of work for which specific hazards associated with the work have already been defined, and / or
  • at a speed
    • between 1 and 6 - 7 km / h (typical walking),
    • between 7 and 12 - 16 km / h (jogging / running up to endurance competition pace depending on the constitution of the user),
    • or between about 13 and 110 to 150 km / h (typical driving speed in a passenger car),
    • or even faster (typical speed in a possible public transportation such as train and plane) moves.

Jeder dieser Orte und Bewegungsgeschwindigkeiten können spezifische Gefahrensituationen und/oder Ersthelfer vordefiniert werden und bei Eintritt des Ortes bzw. der Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit entsprechend differenziert werden.Each of these locations and movement speeds can be predefined specific hazard situations and / or first responders and be differentiated accordingly when the location or the speed of movement.
