Description
GPS-Notruf-Armbanduhr GPS emergency wristwatch
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Notruf-Armbanduhr zur Ortung des Standortes mit einem GPS-Empfänger und einem GPS-Sender, welche einen Alarm-Schalter aufweist, der bei Betätigung ein Notrufsignal auslöst. Die Armbanduhr weist zudem ein Mikrophon und einen Lautsprecher auf und die Armbanduhr kann als Mobilfunk- Telefon genutzt werden. The present invention relates to an emergency call watch for locating the location with a GPS receiver and a GPS transmitter, which has an alarm switch which triggers an emergency call signal when actuated. The watch also has a microphone and a speaker and the watch can be used as a mobile phone.
Heutzutage können eine Vielzahl von Notsituationen eintreten, wie beispielsweise Unfälle (im Straßenverkehr, Flugzeugen, Zügen), Brände, Straftaten (Entführungen, Raub, Diebstahl, Einbruch, Nötigung, Erpressung), Verletzungen (Stürze, Brüche), Naturkatastrophen (Stürme, Überschwemmungen, Lawinen, Erdbeben), Orientierungslosigkeit (in den Bergen oder in Wäldern). Insbesondere alte Menschen und Kinder sind vielen Gefahren ausgesetzt. In solchen Notsituationen sterben jährlich viele Menschen, weil oft zu spät Hilfe geleistet werden kann, da die Unfälle zu spät erkannt werden und somit nur verzögert reagiert werden kann. Nowadays a variety of emergency situations can occur, such as accidents (road traffic, airplanes, trains), fires, crimes (kidnapping, robbery, theft, burglary, coercion, extortion), injuries (falls, fractures), natural disasters (storms, floods, Avalanches, earthquakes), disorientation (in the mountains or in forests). Especially old people and children are exposed to many dangers. In such emergency situations, many people die each year, because often too late help can be provided because the accidents are detected too late and thus can only be delayed response.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind bereits Uhren bekannt, die eine GPS-Einheit aufweisen. In der Japanischen Patentanmeldung JP 2006234778 A wird beispielsweise eine Armbanduhr beschrieben, in welche eine GPS-Einheit integriert ist. Diese Uhr weist zudem einen Knopf auf, der bei Notfällen betätigt werden kann. Diese Uhr weist jedoch keine weitergehenden Funktionen auf. Aus diesem Grunde war es ein Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Vorrichtung bereitzustellen, mit welcher Menschen in Notsituationen schnell auf sich aufmerksam machen können und diese zusätzlich zeitnah geortet werden können, damit unverzüglich Hilfe geleistet werden kann. Clocks are already known from the prior art, which have a GPS unit. Japanese Patent Application JP 2006234778 A, for example, describes a wristwatch in which a GPS unit is integrated. This watch also has a button that can be operated in emergencies. However, this watch has no further functions. For this reason, it was an object of the present invention to provide a device with which people can quickly draw attention to themselves in emergency situations and these can be located in a timely manner, so that immediate help can be provided.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Notruf-Armbanduhr zur Ortung des Standortes mit einem GPS-Empfänger und einem GPS-Sender, welche einen Alarm-Schalter aufweist, der bei Betätigung ein Notrufsignal auslöst. Die Armbanduhr weist zudem ein Mikrophon und einen Lautsprecher auf und kann als Mobilfunk-Telefon genutzt werden. Das„Global Positioning System" (GPS) ist ein globales Navigationssatellitensystem zur Positionsbestimmung und Zeitmessung und basiert auf Satelliten, die mit kodierten Radiosignalen ständig ihre aktuelle Position und die genaue Uhrzeit ausstrahlen. Eine GPS-Ortung ermöglicht exakte Angaben über den Verbleib eines Objektes. Hiermit ist eine Ortungsgenauigkeit in der Größenordnung von oft besser als 10 Meter gewährleistet. This object is achieved by an emergency call watch for locating the location with a GPS receiver and a GPS transmitter, which has an alarm switch that triggers an emergency call signal when actuated. The watch also has a microphone and a speaker and can be used as a mobile phone. The "Global Positioning System" (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system for positioning and timing, based on satellites that constantly radiate their current position and time with encoded radio signals, and GPS positioning provides accurate information about the location of an object is a location accuracy of the order of often better than 10 meters guaranteed.
Um in einer Notsituation einen Notruf abgeben zu können, ist die Armbanduhr mit einem Alarm-Schalter ausgestattet. Der Anwender hat somit die Möglichkeit, einen Notruf abzugeben, der an eine Notrufzentrale gerichtet ist, indem er den Alarm- Schalter (Panik-Schalter) manuell auslöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Armbanduhr weist zusätzlich sowohl ein Mikrophon als auch einen Lautsprecher auf. Somit ist es möglich, dass die Armbanduhr angerufen wird und wie ein Mobiltelefon benutzt wird. To be able to make an emergency call in an emergency situation, the watch is equipped with an alarm switch. The user thus has the option of making an emergency call, which is directed to an emergency call center, by triggering the alarm switch (panic switch) manually. The wristwatch according to the invention additionally has both a microphone and a loudspeaker. Thus, it is possible that the wrist watch is called and how a mobile phone is used.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung weist die Notruf-Armbanduhr zusätzlich einen GSM-Sender und einem GSM-Empfänger auf. In a further advantageous embodiment, the emergency call watch additionally has a GSM transmitter and a GSM receiver.
Eine satellitengestützte Ortung ist in geschlossenen Gebäuden wie Lägern oder Häuserschluchten oft nicht oder nur eingeschränkt möglich, da keine freie Sicht auf den Himmel vorhanden ist. In solchen Fällen kann die Kombination einer GPS- Ortung mit einer Ortung über ein„Global System for Mobile Communications" (GSM) vorteilhaft sein. GSM-Ortung bezeichnet die Ortsbestimmung eines eingeschalteten und in ein Funknetz eingebuchten, auf der Basis von GSM betriebenen Gerätes (wie beispielsweise ein Mobiltelefon) durch das Mobilfunknetz. A satellite-based location is often not possible in closed buildings such as warehouses or street canyons, or only to a limited extent, as there is no clear view of the sky. In such cases, the combination of a GPS location with a location via a "Global System for Mobile Communications" (GSM) may be advantageous. GSM location refers to the location of a device powered on and in a radio network, operated on the basis of GSM ( such as a mobile phone) through the mobile network.
GSM-Ortung stellt eine einfache Alternative zur GPS-Ortung dar, da für das Mobilgerät keine weitere Infrastruktur benötigt wird. Die Ortung via GSM ist aber im Vergleich zur Standortbestimmung mittels GPS ungenauer, da die zur Standortbestimmung herangezogenen Signale systembedingte Toleranzen aufweisen. Zudem können eine Reihe von Faktoren wie stark wechselnde Ausbreitungsbedingungen, Topografie des zugrundeliegenden Mobilfunknetzes, geografische Gegebenheiten und Ausstattung des benutzten Geräts auf die Ortung Einfluss nehmen können. Die Armbanduhr kann somit mit handelsüblichen GSM-Karten ausgestattet werden, die von den verschiedenen Mobilfunkanbietern angeboten werden. Als Grundlage für die Ortung einer solchen Notruf-Armbanduhr können die Bereiche dienen, die ein Sendemast abdeckt (Mobilfunkzellen). Aufgrund des sehr gut ausgebauten GSM/GPRS-Netzes, ist eine solche Notruf-Armbanduhr in Europa fast flächendeckend erreichbar. Wenn sich der Anwender jedoch in einem Gebiet bewegt, welches nicht vom GSM-Netz abgedeckt ist, so wird immer der zuletzt geortete Bereich gespeichert und ist jederzeit abrufbar. GSM positioning is a simple alternative to GPS positioning, since no additional infrastructure is needed for the mobile device. The location via GSM is however inaccurate in comparison to the location determination by means of GPS, since the signals used for determining the position have system-related tolerances. In addition, a number of factors such as strongly varying propagation conditions, topography of the underlying mobile network, geographic conditions and equipment of the device used can influence the location. The watch can thus be equipped with standard GSM cards, which are offered by the various mobile operators. The basis for the location of such an emergency call watch can be the areas covered by a transmission tower (mobile radio cells). Due to the very well-developed GSM / GPRS network, such an emergency call watch is almost universally accessible in Europe. However, if the user moves in an area that is not covered by the GSM network, then the last located area is always stored and can be called up at any time.
Es ist hierbei bevorzugt, wenn die vier Haupt-GSM-Frequenzen unterstützt werden, um zu den meisten Netzen weltweit verbunden zu sein (quadband). Die vier bevorzugten Frequenzbereiche sind 850 und 1900 MHz, die auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent genutzt werden, sowie 900 und 1800 MHz, die in den meisten restlichen Ländern der Welt verwendet werden (Europa, Asien und Australien). It is preferred in this case if the four main GSM frequencies are supported in order to be connected to most networks worldwide (quadband). The four preferred frequency ranges are 850 and 1900 MHz used in the Americas, and 900 and 1800 MHz used in most of the rest of the world (Europe, Asia and Australia).
In einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltungsform ist die Armbanduhr zusätzlich mit einem Erschütterungssensor ausgestattet. Im Falle einer starken Erschütterung, wie beispielsweise bei einem schweren Sturz oder einem Unfall, wird automatisch ein Notruf abgegeben, so dass die Notrufzentrale schnellstmöglich über einen solchen Unfall informiert ist und rasch reagieren kann. In a further alternative embodiment, the wristwatch is additionally equipped with a vibration sensor. In the case of a strong shock, such as in a serious crash or accident, an emergency call is automatically issued, so that the emergency call center is informed as soon as possible about such an accident and can respond quickly.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform weist die erfindungsgemäße Armbanduhr eine Ladeeinheit auf, die ein Aufladen an einer 230V-Steckdose, einem 12V-Anschluss wie beispielsweise im Fahrzeug und über ein serielles Bussystem, wie zum Beispiel einen„Universal Serial Bus" (USB)-Anschluss ermöglicht. Der USB- Anschluss kann ebenfalls für eine Datenübertragung, beispielsweise zu einem PC eingesetzt werden. Da das Gerät ein geringes Platzangebot zur Verfügung hat, sind kompaktere USB-Steckverbinder bevorzugt, die momentan für digitale Kameras, Mobiltelefone, MP3-Player und andere mobile Geräte eingesetzt werden (Mini-USB oder Micro-USB). Im Standby-Betrieb ist ebenfalls eine Ortung des Gerätes möglich. In a further advantageous embodiment, the wristwatch according to the invention has a charging unit which charges at a 230V socket, a 12V connection such as in the vehicle and via a serial bus system such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection The USB port can also be used for data transfer, such as to a PC, and as the device has a small footprint, more compact USB connectors are currently preferred for digital cameras, mobile phones, MP3 players and other mobile devices Devices can be used (mini-USB or micro-USB) In standby mode, a location of the device is also possible.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, wenn die Armbanduhr einen Anschluss für einen Kopfhörer oder einen Kopfsprechhörer (Headset) aufweist, um die Telefonie zu erleichtern. In einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform weist die Armbanduhr ein Eingabegerät auf, mit welcher die Telefon-Funktionen gesteuert werden können und Telefonnummern gewählt werden können. Bei diesem Eingabegerät handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen Tastschirm (Touchscreen), so dass die Telefon-Funktionen durch Tasten aktiviert werden können. It is furthermore preferred if the wristwatch has a connection for a headset or a headset to enable the telephony facilitate. In a further alternative embodiment, the wristwatch has an input device with which the telephone functions can be controlled and telephone numbers can be selected. This input device is preferably a touchscreen, so that the telephone functions can be activated by buttons.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Armbanduhr zusätzlich einen integrierten Vibrationsmotor auf, der einen eingehenden Anruf durch eine Vibration signalisiert. In another preferred embodiment, the wristwatch additionally includes an integrated vibration motor that signals an incoming call by vibration.
Zusätzlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Armbanduhr mit einer oder mehrerer zusätzlicher GPS-Antennen und/oder GSM-Antennen ausgestattet sein, so dass ein verbesserter Empfang möglich ist. In addition, the wristwatch according to the invention can be equipped with one or more additional GPS antennas and / or GSM antennas, so that an improved reception is possible.
Nach einem abgegebenen Notruf kann in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform das Mikrophon und/oder der Lautsprecher automatisch aktiviert werden, so dass die Notrufzentrale mit dem Anwender kommunizieren kann oder die Notsituation abhören kann. Wenn sich der Anwender außerhalb eines Gebäudes oder in einem vom GSM-Netz abgedeckten Gebiet befindet, kann seine Position ebenfalls sofort geortet werden. Falls der Anwender sich in einem Gebiet befindet, in dem keine Kommunikation mit Satelliten möglich ist und von keinem GSM-Netz abgedeckt wird, besteht die Möglichkeit, die Stellen auszuwerten, die zuletzt geortet werden konnten. In einer weiteren alternativen Ausgestaltungsform wird, wenn ein Notruf ausgelöst wird, automatisch eine Nachricht an einen vorher genannten Empfänger abgesendet. Bei dieser Nachricht handelt es sich vorzugsweise um eine Kurznachricht, die an eine Mobilfunknummer übermittelt wird. Als Kurznachrichtendienst zur Übertragung von Textnachrichten wird vorzugsweise ein „Short Message Service" (SMS), „Enhanced Message Service" (EMS) oder „Multimedia Messaging Service" (MMS) genutzt. After a given emergency call, the microphone and / or the speaker can be automatically activated in a further advantageous embodiment, so that the emergency call center can communicate with the user or can hear the emergency situation. If the user is outside a building or in an area covered by the GSM network, his position can also be located immediately. If the user is in an area where communication with satellites is not possible and is not covered by any GSM network, it is possible to evaluate the locations that could be located last. In a further alternative embodiment, when an emergency call is triggered, a message is automatically sent to a previously mentioned recipient. This message is preferably a short message that is transmitted to a mobile number. As a short message service for the transmission of text messages, a "Short Message Service" (SMS), "Enhanced Message Service" (EMS) or "Multimedia Messaging Service" (MMS) is preferably used.
Bei der Notrufzentrale handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen kostenpflichtigen Dienstleister, der 24 Stunden pro Tag europaweit erreichbar ist. Dieser kann die Notrufe empfangen und mittels der in der Armbanduhr integrierten Mikrophone die Gefahrensituation abhören. Wenn es erforderlich ist, kann diese Notrufzentrale die Polizei, die Feuerwehr, den Notarzt oder einen Rettungsdienst wie beispielsweise die Bergrettung oder Wasserwacht verständigen und dieser den genauen Standort der betroffenen Person mitteilen. Damit auch Notrufe aus dem europäischen Ausland empfangen werden können, ist es bevorzugt, wenn der Mobilfunknetz-Teilnehmer, in einem anderen, fremden Netzwerk als seinem Heimnetzwerk selbsttätig Anrufe empfangen oder tätigen zu kann, Daten schicken und empfangen kann und Zugriff auf andere Mobilfunknetzdienste haben kann (sogenanntes„Roaming"). The emergency call center is preferably a paid service provider that can be reached 24 hours a day across Europe. The latter can receive the emergency calls and listen to the dangerous situation by means of the microphones integrated in the wristwatch. If necessary, this emergency center can Inform the police, the fire brigade, the ambulance or an ambulance service such as the mountain rescue or water rescue and tell them the exact location of the person concerned. So that emergency calls can also be received from other European countries, it is preferred if the mobile network subscriber can automatically receive or make calls in a foreign network other than his home network, can send and receive data and have access to other mobile network services (so-called "roaming").
Zusätzlich kann es notwendig sein, die Notrufzentrale oder einen Bevollmächtigten durch eine Vollmacht des Anwenders für eine Ortung seiner Person zu legitimieren. In einem solchen Fall stellt der Anwender des Geräts eine Vollmacht an einen Bevollmächtigten oder die Notrufzentrale aus, dass diese berechtigt ist, diesen jederzeit oder in einem Notfall orten zu dürfen. In addition, it may be necessary to legitimize the emergency center or a proxy by a power of attorney of the user for a location of his person. In such a case, the user of the device issues a power of attorney to an agent or the emergency center that they are entitled to locate it at any time or in an emergency.
Alternativ kann die Ortung lediglich bei Kindern und Jugendlichen unter 18 Jahren, die nicht (voll) geschäftsfähig sind, angewendet werden. Diese können dann von ihren Eltern zuverlässig geortet werden. Alternatively, tracking may only be used on children and adolescents under the age of 18 who are not (fully) capable of doing business. These can then be reliably located by their parents.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform muss, wenn ein Alarm durch Benutzung des Alarm-Schalters oder aufgrund einer Aktivierung des Erschütterungssensors ausgelöst wurde, dieser nochmals mit einer Taste bestätigt werden. Sollte ein Fehlalarm ausgelöst werden, so kann dieser mittels eines Passworts über das Mikrophon revidiert werden. Der falsche Alarm kann alternativ durch eine bestimmte Tastenkombination gestoppt werden. In a further preferred embodiment, if an alarm has been triggered by using the alarm switch or due to an activation of the vibration sensor, this must be confirmed again with a button. If a false alarm is triggered, it can be revised by means of a password over the microphone. The wrong alarm can alternatively be stopped by a certain key combination.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform gibt es zusätzlich die Möglichkeit eines geheimen Notrufs, bei welchem der Anwender mit einem weiteren Passwort einen „stillen Alarm" auslösen kann. Dies kann in dem Fall von Bedeutung sein, in dem der Anwender während eines Alarms durch eine dritte Person bedroht wird. Mittels eines speziellen Passworts, welches über das Mikrophon oder durch eine spezielle Tastenkombination übermittelt wird, kann der Alarm dann für die dritte Person augenscheinlich storniert werden. In Wirklichkeit wird jedoch ein stiller Alarm ausgelöst. Ein weiterer Bestandteil der Erfindung ist ein Computerprogramm-Produkt, welches die Ortung der Armbanduhr ermöglicht. Mit Hilfe dieses Computerprogramm- Produktes können die Koordinaten und gegebenenfalls eine Landkarte abgerufen werden, aus welcher der Standort der Person abgelesen werden kann. Es ist ebenfalls vorteilhaft, wenn der Standort mittels eines Dienstes ermittelt wird, der es ermöglicht, die Person zu suchen, um deren Position dann auf einer Karte oder auf einem Bild von der Erdoberfläche (Satelliten- und Luftbilder) anzuzeigen. Somit kann die Zielperson standortunabhängig lokalisiert werden. Es wird lediglich ein Internetzugang benötigt, über welchen auf diesen Dienst zugegriffen werden kann. Bei diesem Dienst kann es sich beispielsweise um den Internet-Dienst Google Maps handeln. In an alternative embodiment, there is additionally the possibility of a secret emergency call, in which the user can trigger a "silent alarm" with another password, which may be of importance in the case where the user is threatened by a third person during an alarm By means of a special password transmitted via the microphone or by a special key combination, the alarm can then be apparently canceled for the third person, but in reality a silent alarm is triggered. Another component of the invention is a computer program product, which allows the location of the wristwatch. With the aid of this computer program product, the coordinates and, if necessary, a map can be retrieved from which the location of the person can be read off. It is also advantageous if the location is determined by means of a service that makes it possible to search for the person to then display their position on a map or on a picture of the earth's surface (satellite and aerial images). Thus, the target person can be located regardless of location. All you need is Internet access, which allows access to this service. For example, this service may be the Google Maps Internet service.
