Abstract

[Problem] In the event of a sudden major disaster, a power outage may occur. Providing enough light is essential not only for safety but also for mental health, and you may end up in a situation where you won't be able to shout out loud when calling for help, and the battery capacity of your mobile phone to call for rescue may not be perfect. Therefore, the problem is that mobile phones cannot be used to provide light inadvertently. [Solution] As a solution, I thought that it would be good if something that I was familiar with on a daily basis could be used in the event of a disaster. By being equipped with such equipment, it is possible to secure light during a power outage, use a loud buzzer, and charge smartphones as a lifeline, allowing mobile phones to operate for long periods of time. Even if there is a power outage in the city and there are no lights from the city, the mouse's light function will illuminate your feet and allow you to walk safely. [Selection diagram] Figure 1

Description

The present invention is mainly applicable to natural disasters, such as large earthquakes that cause houses to collapse and tsunamis, large typhoons that occur once every 50 years, and linear rain belts, which can cause river flooding and embankments due to storms. In the event of power outage, which is one of the lifelines, such as flood damage to the point where it is impossible to move due to collapse etc., roads blocked by landslides or bridges over rivers collapsing, etc., secure light, call for rescue, and carry a mobile phone. An invention aimed at charging phones.

During the day or night, there is a possibility of power outages in the event of a natural disaster or especially in the event of a major earthquake.At night, you will not be able to see anything, and in the event of a major earthquake, buildings may collapse, and mobile phone base stations may be disrupted. Due to the collapse, cell phone service may also be disrupted. In addition, there may be situations where someone is injured and cannot easily call for help, but the mouse is a tool on the computer that we use at work, at home, and on a daily basis. Thought.

Disasters occur at any time of day or night, and people of all ages and genders are affected by them. After a disaster occurs, some people are unable to move or leave their homes, and some people are unable to evacuate depending on conditions such as age, physical condition, time of day, weather, etc., and they have no choice but to stay in the affected area. Generally speaking, landlines and mobile phones are the most common means of contact, except in situations where you cannot go outside, but depending on the disaster, they may not be able to be used at all. If this happens, it will be difficult to request help and it will be difficult to promptly rescue victims. If it is late at night, the challenge is how to ensure light in the darkness and how to make it easy to request rescue.

The biggest challenge is how disaster victims can ensure their own safety and rescue methods. At night, you need light, and if you need to call for help, you need a landline or mobile phone when you can ensure your physical safety. However, we do not know when a disaster will occur. Light is necessary in all environments, such as when you are working at a company, at home, or at a lodging facility. Mobile phones and smartphones are equipped with light functions, but in the event of a power outage, you will need to call for help, so you want to keep battery consumption as low as possible. Additionally, mobile phones may be cut off, and if you are injured, you may not be able to raise your voice and call for help. Therefore, the present invention assumes that when you are at home, especially when you are staying at a company, work site, or accommodation, you can ensure that there is light at night, and that you can call for rescue if you are unable to make a sound. We came up with a computer mouse with a spare battery that can charge smartphones and other devices.
At a company, if you work in an office or sales position, a computer is essential, and I think the mouse you usually use can be used as a substitute.

As mentioned above, we do not know when a disaster will occur. Every home or business may have flashlights to provide light, but their built-in batteries are often exhausted, making them unusable in the event of a disaster. Smartphones, which play an important role as a lifeline, are not always charged, and it is thought that few people keep spare batteries on hand. If you use the mouse of this invention on a daily basis, you can connect it with a USB cable and use it in the same way as you normally do, so you can use the built-in rechargeable mouse in the mouse you are using. It has a structure that allows it to store electricity in batteries. In the unlikely event that a disaster occurs, you can use the USB cable that connects the computer and the mouse by pulling it out from the computer side, and use the built-in light (LED bulb) in the mouse to ensure light at night or in the event of a power outage. Lights can be secured with lights (or light bulbs). In the event of a disaster, landlines and mobile phones may not be available as a means of contacting outside parties. In that case, you can alert nearby rescuers by sounding the security buzzer built into the mouse. Furthermore, since it uses a rechargeable battery, it can also be used to charge smartphones and other devices by using the USB cable that was connected to the computer and also has a USD terminal for power output from the mouse. Additionally, devices that operate on the same 5V voltage can be used to provide light with LED lights or other devices, and can also be connected to a small electric fan, making them useful for simple air conditioning. There is also a movable lever-type stand on the side of the computer, so you can use it as a simple lantern by setting it up with the light part of the mouse facing up.
List of possible uses: (1) regular USB mouse, (2) light function when removed, (3) security buzzer function when removed, (4) spare battery function when removed, (5) It has 5 types of lantern functions when removed.
