Description
The disclosure relates to an information providing
system, more particularly to an information providing
system capable ofprovidinginformation to an emergency
dispatch center immediately after a hazardous event
occurs.
After receiving an emergency call for a fire in a
building such as a long-term care center, a medical
institution, or a high-risk factory, an emergency
dispatch center usually evaluates the on-scene
condition of the fire based on the location of the
building, a floor plan of the building, and a layout
diagram illustrating dangerous installations,
hazardous articles and piping. However, such
information is usually recorded on paper and may not
have been updated after changes to the building were
made.
Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is
to provide an information providing system capable of
providing information beneficial to evaluating an
on-scene condition of a hazardous event.
According to one aspect of the present disclosure,
an information providing system includes a detector,
a detector central control device, a control host and
a cloud server. The detector is disposed in a building
for detecting a hazardous event and outputting a detecting signal when the hazardous event is detected.
The detector central control device is disposed in the
building and is communicatively connected to the
detector for receiving the detecting signal. The
control host is disposed in the building, is
communicatively connected to the detector central
control device for receiving the detecting signal, and
is configured to output rescue-assisting information
related to the hazardous event and the building where
the hazardous event occurred in response to receipt of
the detecting signal. The cloud server is disposed in
an emergency dispatch center, and is communicatively
connected to the control host for receiving the
rescue-assisting information over a communication
network.
Other features and advantages of the present
disclosure will become apparent in the following
detailed description of the embodiments with reference
to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. lis a schematicblock diagram of an information
providing system according to one embodiment of the
present disclosure; and
FIG. 2 illustrates a position diagram showing a
position where a hazardous event occurred in a building
and a position of a person in the building according
to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
Referring to FIG. 1, an information providing system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The information providing system can be used in a building such as a long-term care center, a medical institution, a station of a mass rapid transit system, a high-risk factory, etc.
The information providing system includes a
plurality of detectors 1, a detector central control
device 2, a controlhost 3, a cloud server 4, a plurality
of image capturing modules 5, a mobile electronic
device 6 carried by a firefighter, and a mobile
electronic device 8 carried by a manager of the
building.
Each of the detectors 1 is disposed in the building
for detecting a hazardous event and outputting a
detecting signal when the hazardous event is detected.
In the following descriptions, the hazardous event is
exemplified as a fire, but the present disclosure is
not limited to this example. In this embodiment, each
of the detectors 1 is an addressable photoelectric
smoke detector or an addressable fixed-temperature
heat detector. In other embodiments, each of the
detectors 1 may be an earthquake detector or other
detectors suitable for detecting different hazardous
events.
The detector central control device 2 is disposed
in the building and is communicatively connected to
each of the detectors 1 for receiving the detecting signal.
The control host 3 is also disposed in the building,
is communicatively connected to the detector central
control device 2 for receiving the detecting signals
from the detectors 1, and is configured to output
rescue-assisting information related to the hazardous
event and the building where the hazardous event
occurred in response to receipt of the detecting signal
from any one of the detectors 1. Specifically, the
control host 3 stores an address of the building,
contact information of an owner of the building, a floor
plan set of the building, and arrangement information
regarding dangerous installations, hazardous articles
and piping layout. In some embodiments, the
arrangement information includes one or more diagrams
(e.g., one or more floor plans of the building)
illustrating the piping layout and locations of the
dangerous installations and the hazardous articles.
The floor plan set of the building includes a plurality
of floor plans each corresponding to a respective floor
of the building. Note that as soon as any change has
been made to the building, the relevant information
stored in the control host 3 should be updated
accordingly.
The image capturing modules 5 are disposed in the
building and are electrically connected to the control
host 3. Each of the image capturing modules 5 is disposed at a position corresponding to a respective one of the detectors 1, and has a field of view covering a detecting range of the respective one of the detectors
1. In some embodiments, upon receiving the detecting
signal from one of the detectors 1, the control host
3 controls the capturing module 5 that corresponds to
said one of the detectors 1 to capture a real-time image
and to transmit the same to the control host 3. The
image capturing modules 5 are, for example, cameras,
but the present disclosure is not limited to this
example.
The control host 3 generates, in response to receipt
of the detecting signal from one of the detectors 1,
a position diagram 314 (see FIG. 2) showing a hazardous
position 3140 where the fire occurred in the building
based on the detecting signal and the floor plan set,
and showing a user position 3141 of a person currently
in the building (this person may be waiting for rescue)
according to the floor plan set and an indoor
positioning system. For example, the hazardous
position 3140 is a position of one of the detectors 1
from which the detecting signal is outputted and is an
approximate position of the fire. In some embodiments,
the detecting signal may include an index uniquely
assigned to the detector 1 that outputs the detecting
signal, and the controlhost 3 may further store alookup
table that stores, for each of the detectors 1, an index uniquely assigned to the detector 1 and a position of the detector 1, so that the control host 3 can obtain the position of the detector 1 outputting the detecting signalfrom the lookup table with reference to the index included in the detecting signal upon receiving the detecting signal. The user position 3141 is obtained according to the floor plan set of the building and indoor positioning of a mobile electronic device carried by the person currently in the building. Since use of triangulation in the indoor positioning system, for example, a Bluetooth-based system, is well known, and is not the main feature of the present disclosure, the details of the same are omitted for the sake of brevity. Note that to constitute the position diagram
314, the hazardous position 3140 and the user position
3141 can be denoted by different symbols on one of the
floor plans corresponding to the hazardous event.
The control host 3 outputs, in response to receipt
of the detecting signal from any of the detectors 1,
the rescue-assisting information including the address
of the building, the contact information of the owner
of the building, the floor plan set (including the floor
plans) of the building, the arrangement information of
the dangerous installations, the hazardous articles,
and the piping layout, the real-time image captured by
the relevant image capturing module 5, and the position
diagram 314 generated by the control host 3. In this embodiment, the rescue-assisting information can be outputted by being displayed on the control host 3.
The cloud server 4 is disposed in an emergency
dispatch center, is communicatively connected to the
control host 3 for receiving the rescue-assisting
information over a communication network 9, and
wirelessly communicates with the mobile electronic
devices 6, 8 over the communication network 9. Note
that the cloud server 4 is, for example, a personal
computer, a cloud computing device, etc., but the
present disclosure is not limited in this respect. For
example, the cloud server 4 includes, but not limited
to, one or more of a single core processor, a multi-core
processor, a dual-core mobile processor, a
microprocessor, a microcontroller, a digital signal
processor (DSP), a field-programmable gate array
(FPGA), an application specific integrated circuit
(ASIC), a radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC),
etc.
The mobile electronic device 6 carried by the
firefighter communicates with the cloud server 4 using
mobile communication technology. In this embodiment,
in response to receipt of the detecting signal from any
one of the detectors 1, the control host 3 first outputs
the address of the building where the hazardous event
occurred to the cloud server 4 within ten seconds. In
response to receipt of the address of the building, the cloud server 4 immediately transmits the address of the building to the mobile electronic device 6 carried by the firefighter on standby at a fire brigade having the building covered by its service (i.e., the building where the hazardous event occurred would be located within an area of jurisdiction of the fire brigade that is being contacted by the cloud server 4). Note that the address of the building can be transmitted in a form ofa short message service (SMS) message but the present disclosure is not limited to this example. In this way, the firefighter carrying the mobile electronic device
6 is notified of the occurrence of the fire and the
address of the building in order to go extinguish fire
promptly.
Each of the mobile electronic devices 6, 8 is one
of a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet
computer, a smart phone and a wearable electronic
device but the present disclosure is not limited in this
respect. In this embodiment, the mobile electronic
device 6 includes a wireless communication unit 61, a
display unit 62, a processing unit 63 and an input unit
64. Similarly, the mobile electronicdevice 8 includes
a wireless communication unit 81, a display unit 82,
a processing unit 83 and an input unit 84. Note that
the aforementioned wireless communication units 61, 81,
the display units 62, 82, the processing units 63, 83
and the input units 64, 84 are commercially available components typically equipped on commercially available mobile electronic devices, and the details of the same are omitted for the sake of brevity since the feature of the present disclosure does not reside in this respect.
In the case that the detectors 1 detect no hazardous
event, the control host 3 does not transmit anything
to the cloud server 4. In the case that any one of the
detectors 1 detects a hazardous event, the control host
3 transmits the rescue-assisting information to the
cloud server 4 including text information such as the
address of the building and the contact information of
the owner of the building, and image information such
as the floor plan set of the building (including the
floor plans), the arrangement information of the
dangerous installations, the hazardous articles and
the piping layout, the real-time image of the hazardous
event, and the position diagram314. It shouldbe noted
that, because of privacy concerns, the real-time image
is accessible only if authorization has been obtained
from the owner of the building. Additionally, the
control host 3 also transmits the rescue-assisting
information to the mobile electronic device 8 carried
by the manager of the building via the wireless
communication unit 81. It should be noted that the
different pieces ofinformation (e.g., the address, the
contact information) maybe individually or separately transmitted to the cloud server 4, and it is not necessary to aggregate them into a bundle before transmission.
In response to receipt of the rescue-assisting
information from the control host 3, the cloud server
4 immediately transmits the text information to the
mobile electronic device 6 carried by the firefighter(s)
via the wireless communication unit 61 so as to display
the address of the building on the display unit 62 of
the mobile electronic device 6. Then, the cloud server
4 transmits the image information to the mobile
electronic device 6, so that the image information is
also displayed on the display unit 62 of the mobile
electronic device 6. As shown in FIG. 2, the position
diagram 314 shows the hazardous position 3140 where the
fire occurred and the user position 3141 of the person
in the building on one of the floor plans. Once the
firefighter enters the building, the position diagram
314 displayed on the display unit 62 of the mobile
electronic device 6 carried by the firefighter may
further show a firefighter position 3142 of the mobile
electronic device 6 corresponding to a position of the
firefighter. In this way, the firefighter can obtain
on-scene condition of the fire, rescue person(s) in the
building and extinguish the fire in a relatively
effective and safe manner.
Further, during the hazardous event and rescue, the control host 3 continuously controls the image capturing module 5 to capture the real-time image, generates the position diagram 314 repeatedly, and transmits the real-time image and the position diagram
314 to the cloud server 4 in real time. The cloud server
4 also transmits the real-time image and the position
diagram 314 to the mobile electronic device 6 in real
time, so that the firefighter can learn the condition
of the fire and the position of the person who may need
rescuing in real time.
To sum up, by virtue of cooperation among the
detectors 1, the detector central control device 2, the
control host 3, the cloud server 4 and the image
capturingmodule 5, the firefighter carrying the mobile
electronic device 6 is notified, through the text
information, of the address of the building that has
caught fire immediately after the fire occurs, and
further receives the image information to be notified
of the on-scene condition of the fire. Accordingly,
the firefighter canmake a plan for fighting the fire
before reaching the building, and thus relatively high
safety and fire-fighting efficiency are provided.
In the description above, for the purposes of
explanation, numerous specific details have been set
forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of
the embodiment. It will be apparent, however, to one
skilled in the art, that one or more other embodiments may be practiced without some of these specific details.
It should also be appreciated that reference throughout
this specification to "one embodiment," "an
