Objeto de la invención Object of the invention

La presente invención trata de un dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica para víctimas de accidentes en desplazamientos en casos de emergencia para vehículos, especialmente destinado para su aplicación a motocicletas y procedimiento para la localización de un vehículo en caso de accidente-incidente a través de un dispositivo localizador de emergencia, que permite auxiliar a un accidentado en carretera con la mayor rapidez posible, avisando al servicio de emergencias en el momento en que se produce dicho accidente, y sin necesidad de realizar contacto por parte del accidentado. Así mismo, permite acceder de forma inmediata al historial médico del accidentado, informando al profesional sanitario de todas aquellas patologías que presenta el herido, proporcionando una orientación en el procedimiento o protocolo de asistencia. The present invention deals with a device for locating and guiding medical assistance for victims of accidents in displacements in cases of emergency for vehicles, especially intended for application to motorcycles and procedure for locating a vehicle in case of accident-incident through of an emergency locator device, which allows to help an injured person on the road as quickly as possible, notifying the emergency service at the moment in which said accident occurs, and without needing to make contact by the injured party. Likewise, it allows immediate access to the medical history of the injured, informing the healthcare professional of all those pathologies that the injured person presents, providing guidance on the procedure or assistance protocol.

Antecedentes de la invención Background of the invention

Son conocidos en el estado de la técnica diferentes tipos de avisadores o controladores de emergencia. Es el caso por ejemplo del documento ES 2136567, que trata de un localizador que está formado por una caja con componentes electrónicos y sistema de iluminación de emergencia para dentro de vehículos, que por medio de un sensor es sensible a los impactos, se activa un sistema de localización que utiliza luces intermitentes y que envía señales de radio, lo que permite ubicar rápidamente el vehículo dañado. Different types of warning devices or emergency controllers are known in the state of the art. This is the case, for example, of document ES 2136567, which deals with a locator that is formed by a box with electronic components and an emergency lighting system inside vehicles, which by means of a sensor is sensitive to impacts, activates a location system that uses flashing lights and that sends radio signals, allowing you to quickly locate the damaged vehicle.

El documento ES 1066760 trata de un localizador de vehículos tras accidentes y averías, que se encuentra habilitado para su incorporación y funcionamiento en un vehículo, que comprende un emisor de radio alimentado por una batería recargable, un microprocesador, y un pulsador manual, y estando el emisor de radio conectado al microprocesador y éste habilitado para recibir una señal del pulsador manual, y de modo que la batería recargable se encuentra conectada y es alimentada por el sistema eléctrico del vehículo, y el microprocesador se encuentra programado para activar el emisor de radio cuando el pulsador manual permanece más de una duración de tiempo determinada sin ser pulsado por el conductor del vehículo, por lo que si tras un accidente del vehículo, el pulsador permanece más de una duración de tiempo determinada sin ser pulsado, el emisor de radio pasará a ser activado por el microprocesador y por tanto a emitir señales de radio que permitirán la localización de la ubicación del vehículo accidentado. Estos dispositivos, y otros pertenecientes al estado de la técnica se basan en respuesta por parte del conductor o en impactos del vehículo. En determinadas ocasiones, cuando el accidente puede ser grave, es posible que el conductor no sea capaz de realizar una conexión para el aviso de emergencia, quedando de este modo sin atención el accidentado. En otras ocasiones, como en el caso del documento ES 1066760, no es necesario que el conductor de la señal de emergencia, es más, es al contrario, al pasar un tiempo sin recibir señal, se activa la alarma. Sin embargo, puede no ser todo lo eficaz que se desearía, pues el accidente puede producirse en el instante posterior a una señal, teniendo que esperar el tiempo determinado para que se active la alarma por no recibirse la siguiente señal. Document ES 1066760 deals with a vehicle locator after accidents and breakdowns, which is enabled for incorporation and operation in a vehicle, comprising a radio transmitter powered by a rechargeable battery, a microprocessor, and a manual button, and being the radio transmitter connected to the microprocessor and the latter enabled to receive a signal from the manual button, and so that the rechargeable battery is connected and is powered by the vehicle's electrical system, and the microprocessor is programmed to activate the radio transmitter when the manual button remains for more than a certain period of time without being pressed by the driver of the vehicle, so if after a vehicle accident, the button remains for a certain period of time without being pressed, the radio transmitter will pass to be activated by the microprocessor and therefore to emit radio signals that will allow localization of the location of the injured vehicle. These devices, and others belonging to the state of the art are based on response from the driver or impacts from the vehicle. On certain occasions, when the accident can be serious, the driver may not be able to make a connection for the emergency warning, thus leaving the injured person unattended. On other occasions, as in the case of document ES 1066760, it is not necessary that the driver of the emergency signal, moreover, is on the contrary, when passing time without receiving a signal, the alarm is activated. However, it may not be as effective as would be desired, since the accident can occur in the instant after a signal, having to wait for the determined time for the alarm to activate because the next signal is not received.

Descripción de la invención Description of the invention

La invención que se propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta. Se trata de un dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica para víctimas de accidentes en desplazamientos en casos de emergencia para vehículos, especialmente destinado para su aplicación a motocicletas y procedimiento para la localización de un vehículo en caso de accidente-incidente a través de un dispositivo localizador de emergencia, que permite dar el aviso en el momento exacto del accidente y sin necesidad de que el conductor tenga que informar directamente de ello, pues el propio sistema se encarga del aviso. The proposed invention solves in a fully satisfactory manner the problems set forth above. It is a device for locating and guidance in medical assistance for victims of accidents in displacements in cases of emergency for vehicles, especially intended for application to motorcycles and procedure for the location of a vehicle in case of accident-incident through a emergency locator device, which allows the warning to be given at the exact moment of the accident and without the need for the driver to report directly, as the system itself handles the warning.

El dispositivo localizador de emergencia para vehículos, dadas sus características y funcionamiento, aunque es especialmente útil para motocicletas, es susceptible de uso en cualquier tipo de vehículos. El dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica permite auxiliar a un accidentado tras sufrir una caída, sin perder tiempo y dando el aviso en el momento exacto. De este modo, el dispositivo avisa al servicio de emergencias de un modo prácticamente simultáneo al momento en que se produce el accidente. Así, se consigue una asistencia extremadamente rápida y sin necesidad de que el motorista, o conductor del vehículo, tenga que efectuar una llamada telefónica de auxilio, pues probablemente sus condiciones no sean las idóneas para hacerlo según los daños ocasionados. The emergency locator device for vehicles, given its characteristics and operation, although it is especially useful for motorcycles, is susceptible to use in any type of vehicle. The device of location and orientation in medical assistance allows to help an injured person after suffering a fall, without wasting time and giving the warning at the exact moment. In this way, the device alerts the emergency service virtually simultaneously to the moment the accident occurs. Thus, extremely fast assistance is achieved and without the need for the motorist, or driver of the vehicle, to make a phone call for help, as their conditions are probably not suitable for doing so according to the damage caused.

Además, el dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica de la invención no sólo logra ganar un tiempo valioso en la respuesta de los servicios médicos, sino que mejora notablemente la calidad de la atención al accidentado al poder tener acceso de manera instantánea al historial médico y así informar al profesional de todas aquellas patologías que presenta, orientándolo para la atención. Esto se consigue gracias a una memoria interna dispuesta en el dispositivo, que guarda todos los datos relativos al conductor, y acompañantes principales opcionalmente, donde una vez producido el accidente se envía tanto el aviso de dicho suceso como el historial y características relevantes a tener en cuenta en la atención del accidentado. In addition, the medical assistance location and orientation device of the invention not only manages to gain valuable time in the response of medical services, but also significantly improves the quality of care for the injured by being able to have instant access to the medical history and thus inform the professional of all those pathologies that it presents, orienting it for attention. This is achieved thanks to an internal memory provided in the device, which saves all the data related to the driver, and optionally main companions, where once the accident has occurred, the notification of said event is sent as well as the history and relevant characteristics to have in account in the care of the injured.

El dispositivo de la invención se encarga de enviar de un modo automático al servicio de emergencias una comunicación, a través de un mensaje de texto donde se especificará la localización del accidentado por medio de un GPS incorporado. De este modo se tendrá identificado y ubicado al accidentado, conociendo datos de interés como puede ser la velocidad a la que se produjo el accidente, y por tanto, la posible gravedad del mismo. En función de estos parámetros y otros que pueden programarse, se establecerá un indicador de la gravedad, como por ejemplo, a través de colores: rojo, para accidentes graves, naranja para accidentes menos graves, y verde para otros considerados leves. The device of the invention is responsible for automatically sending a communication to the emergency service, through a text message specifying the location of the injured person by means of a built-in GPS. In this way, the injured person will be identified and located, knowing information of interest such as the speed at which the accident occurred, and therefore, the possible severity of the accident. Depending on these parameters and others that can be programmed, a severity indicator will be established, such as through colors: red, for serious accidents, orange for less serious accidents, and green for others considered mild.

De este modo, el servicio de emergencias, al recibir el aviso, tiene clasificado el accidente en cuanto a nivel de atención por gravedad del accidente, localización, datos del conductor y opcionalmente del accidentado, etc. In this way, the emergency service, upon receiving the notice, has classified the accident in terms of level of attention by severity of the accident, location, driver's data and optionally of the injured, etc.

El dispositivo localizador de emergencia de la invención comprende al menos un sensor de velocidad, un sensor de equilibrio, GPI's, un procesador GPRS y un GPS, un soporte físico o placa base que integra todos los elementos, una batería de alimentación auxiliar y una tarjeta de almacenamiento de datos. El sensor de velocidad cuantifica la velocidad del vehículo o motocicleta y a través de un relé enviará un pulso de un determinado potencial eléctrico en función del valor de la medición efectuada, y el sensor de equilibrio capaz de cuantificar el grado de inclinación del vehículo- motocicleta. Dependiendo del valor medido por dicho inclinómetro, el relé enviará un pulso eléctrico u otro. Es decir, se cuantifica el ángulo que forma la vertical que pasa por el centro de gravedad del vehículo-motocicleta con el plano vertical. The emergency locator device of the invention comprises at least one speed sensor, a balance sensor, GPI's, a GPRS processor and a GPS, a physical support or motherboard that integrates all the elements, an auxiliary power battery and a card of data storage. The speed sensor quantifies the speed of the vehicle or motorcycle and through a relay will send a pulse of a certain electrical potential depending on the value of the measurement made, and the balance sensor capable of quantifying the degree of inclination of the vehicle-motorcycle. Depending on the value measured by said inclinometer, the relay will send an electric pulse or another. That is, the angle that forms the vertical that passes through the center of gravity of the motorcycle vehicle with the vertical plane is quantified.

De este modo, se consigue un procedimiento de atención más rápido, efectivo y comenzando en el mismo momento en que se produce el accidente. Así, cuando el servicio de emergencias recibe el mensaje de texto por parte del dispositivo localizador, procederá al instante a ponerse en contacto con el usuario, y en caso de que no exista respuesta por parte de este, se remitirá dicho mensaje de texto y llamará al hospital o centro de salud más cercano, el cual enviará los dispositivos sanitarios necesarios al lugar del accidente, ambulancias y similares. Al mismo tiempo, el servicio de emergencias remitirá el mensaje de texto y llamará a tráfico, guardia civil y/o bomberos, según proceda. In this way, a faster, more effective care procedure is achieved and starting at the same time the accident occurs. Thus, when the emergency service receives the text message from the locator device, it will proceed immediately to contact the user, and in case there is no response from it, the text message will be sent and called to the nearest hospital or health center, which will send the necessary sanitary devices to the accident site, ambulances and the like. At the same time, the service of emergencies will send the text message and call traffic, civil guard and / or firefighters, as appropriate.

Con el dispositivo de la invención se consigue coordinar a diferentes agentes que intervienen en el proceso de salvamento o rescate, aportando en todo momento datos esenciales como ubicación exacta e historial médico que vendrían recogidos en el mensaje de texto. Los datos médicos se incorporarían al contenido de la información en el momento de la adquisición del dispositivo, pudiendo ser actualizados por el propietario, manualmente o por voz, contando con una clave de acceso. Si existe uno o varios acompañantes, existe la posibilidad de introducir también sus datos personales de interés. With the device of the invention it is possible to coordinate different agents involved in the rescue or rescue process, providing at all times essential data such as exact location and medical history that would be collected in the text message. The medical data would be incorporated into the information content at the time of acquisition of the device, and may be updated by the owner, manually or by voice, with a password. If there is one or more companions, there is the possibility of also entering your personal data of interest.

Por tanto, la invención propuesta consigue automatizar la llamada de emergencia al servicio 1 12, sin necesidad de tener que efectuarla después de un accidente de tráfico cuya gravedad es especialmente importante en el caso de que se produzca con una motocicleta. El dispositivo proporciona la localización exacta del vehículo o motocicleta, así como los datos personales del ocupante u ocupantes. Therefore, the proposed invention manages to automate the emergency call to service 1 12, without having to make it after a traffic accident whose severity is especially important in the event that it occurs with a motorcycle. The device provides the exact location of the vehicle or motorcycle, as well as the personal data of the occupant or occupants.

Es posible la aplicación del dispositivo de localización y orientación a vehículos automóviles y embarcaciones, pero en este caso no es necesario que el velocímetro del vehículo terrestre o acuático se encuentre adaptado al dispositivo, pues en caso de vuelco o hundimiento siempre consiste en un accidente. Por tanto sólo se necesita el sensor de equilibrio para iniciar el protocolo de auxilio en carretera. En este caso, dicho dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica puede ser un complemento que actúe ante fallo, por ejemplo, del airbag del vehículo. Puede darse el caso de que por las características de la colisión no se active dicho airbag, como caídas a cauces de agua, vuelcos que no activen los sensores del airbag, etc., donde en este caso, sí se activaría el dispositivo de localización y orientación. It is possible to apply the location and orientation device to motor vehicles and boats, but in this case it is not necessary that the speedometer of the land or water vehicle is adapted to the device, because in case of overturning or sinking it always consists of an accident. Therefore, only the balance sensor is needed to start the roadside assistance protocol. In this case, said medical assistance location and guidance device can be a complement that acts upon failure, for example, of the vehicle airbag. It may be the case that due to the characteristics of the collision said airbag is not activated, such as falls to waterways, overturns that do not activate the sensors of the airbag, etc., where in this case, the location and orientation device would be activated.

Además, el dispositivo localización y orientación de la invención, va más allá, y permite clasificar la gravedad del accidente, es decir, en función de los valores de velocidad e inclinación en el momento del accidente, enviará una señal a través de mensaje de texto de mayor o menor gravedad. The invention described consists of a device for locating and guiding medical assistance for victims of accidents in displacements in cases of emergency for vehicles, especially intended for application to motorcycles and procedure for locating a vehicle in case of accident-incident through an emergency locator device, which allows emergency signals to be sent at the same time the incident occurs and in an automatic way, without the vehicle or motorcycle user having to give the warning. In addition, the device location and orientation of the invention, goes beyond, and allows to classify the severity of the accident, that is, depending on the speed and incline values at the time of the accident, it will send a signal via text message of greater or lesser severity.

Y como complemento a esta información, el dispositivo dispone una tarjeta de memoria con los datos del conductor y/o de los acompañantes, pudiendo enviar aquellos datos de interés en el mismo mensaje de texto, bien con problemas que puedan sufrir los accidentados, como problemas cardíacos, diabetes, epilepsia, asma, alergias a determinados medicamentos y otros, o incluso datos personales y otros que se consideren necesarios para la correcta atención. Esto proporciona, además de una rápida actuación por parte de los servicios sanitarios, una atención más eficaz. And as a complement to this information, the device has a memory card with the data of the driver and / or the companions, being able to send those data of interest in the same text message, either with problems that the injured may suffer, such as problems cardiac, diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, allergies to certain medications and others, or even personal and other data deemed necessary for proper care. This provides, in addition to rapid action by health services, more effective care.

El dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica comprende un soporte físico (1 ) en el que se integran diferentes elementos conocidos y aplicados en otros dispositivos del estado de la técnica, enviando señales de búsqueda y rescate a través de mensajes de texto SMS. Así pues, comprende al menos los siguientes elementos conocidos: - un sensor de velocidad (2) The medical assistance location and orientation device comprises a physical support (1) in which different elements known and applied in other devices of the state of the art are integrated, sending search and rescue signals through SMS text messages. Thus, it comprises at least the following known elements: - a speed sensor (2)

- GPI's (4)  - GPI's (4)

- un módulo GPS de posicionamiento (5)  - a GPS positioning module (5)

- sistema de comunicación GPRS (6)  - GPRS communication system (6)

- batería de alimentación auxiliar (7)  - auxiliary power battery (7)

- tarjeta de almacenamiento de datos (8)  - data storage card (8)

De este modo, la particularidad de la invención se centra en la existencia, además de estos elementos conocidos, de un sensor de equilibrio (3) asociado al sensor de velocidad (2), de modo que el envío automático de señales de búsqueda y rescate a través de mensajes de texto SMS, así como el contenido de dichos mensajes de texto SMS, están en función de los valores tanto del ángulo de inclinación como de la velocidad programados previamente en el dispositivo e indicados a través de dichos sensores (2, 3). Thus, the particularity of the invention focuses on the existence, in addition to these known elements, of a balance sensor (3) associated with the speed sensor (2), so that the automatic sending of search and rescue signals via SMS text messages, as well as the content of said SMS text messages, are a function of the values of both the inclination angle and the speed previously programmed in the device and indicated through said sensors (2, 3 ).

El procedimiento para la localización de un vehículo en caso de incidente a través de un dispositivo localizador de emergencia, comprende las siguientes etapas: The procedure for locating a vehicle in the event of an incident through an emergency locator device, comprises the following steps:

(a) se mide la velocidad del vehículo a través de un sensor de velocidad (2),  (a) the vehicle speed is measured through a speed sensor (2),

(b) se mide los ángulos de inclinación α y β del vehículo a través de un sensor de equilibrio (3),  (b) the inclination angles α and β of the vehicle are measured through an equilibrium sensor (3),

(c) un relé dispuesto en cada uno de los sensores de velocidad (2) y equilibrio (3) envía los pulsos correspondientes a un sistema de comunicación GPRS (6) a través de GPI's (4),  (c) a relay arranged in each of the speed (2) and balance sensors (3) sends the corresponding pulses to a GPRS communication system (6) through GPI's (4),

(d) el sistema de comunicación GPRS (6) analiza los pulsos recibidos, que corresponden a velocidad e inclinación α y β del vehículo, y envía señales correspondientes en función de los valores de velocidad e inclinación recibidos. El sensor de velocidad (2) o velocímetro puede ser de tipo ADC, digital. Este sensor de velocidad (2) que llevan incorporado todos los vehículos indica el valor de dicha velocidad, y a través de un relé es capaz de enviar un pulso de un determinado potencial eléctrico en función del valor de la medición efectuada. Por ejemplo, si el valor de la medición de velocidad es igual o superior a 45 Km/h, se emitirá un determinado voltaje Vi, mientas si el valor de medición de la velocidad es 0 Km/h, equivalente a vehículo o motocicleta parada, se emitirá otro voltaje V2. El sensor de equilibrio (3) puede ser de tipo ADC. Podrá ser un clinómetro-clisómetro-inclinómetro o cualquier tipo de instrumento capaz de medir ángulos de elevación, pendiente o inclinación, también denominado inclinómetro o clisímetro. Se conocen distintos tipos: de péndulo, de brújula, electrónicos analógicos y digitales con o sin puntero láser, por ultrasonidos, infrarrojos, goniómetros, etc. Existen modelos que incluye a parte de 1 ó 2 escalas de pendientes, grados y porcentaje. Este sensor de equilibrio (3) es capaz de cuantificar el grado de inclinación del vehículo-motocicleta en el plano XY, es decir, el ángulo α que se desvía dicho vehículo o motocicleta del eje Y hacia el eje X pasando por el centro de gravedad del vehículo- motocicleta. Este sensor, a través de un relé, enviará un pulso de un determinado potencial eléctrico, en función de la medición efectuada. Por ejemplo, si el valor del ángulo α medido es superior o igual a un determinado valor (por ejemplo, α = 30°), el relé enviará el citado pulso eléctrico Ei, mientas si el valor del ángulo α medido es mayor o igual a un determinado valor (por ejemplo, α = 80°), el relé enviará el citado pulso eléctrico E2. (d) the GPRS communication system (6) analyzes the received pulses, which correspond to the vehicle's speed and inclination α and β, and sends corresponding signals based on the received speed and inclination values. The speed sensor (2) or speedometer can be of type ADC, digital. This speed sensor (2) that incorporates all the vehicles indicates the value of said speed, and through a relay is able to send a pulse of a certain electrical potential depending on the value of the measurement made. For example, if the speed measurement value is equal to or greater than 45 km / h, a certain voltage Vi will be emitted, if the speed measurement value is 0 km / h, equivalent to a vehicle or motorcycle stopped, another voltage V 2 will be emitted. The balance sensor (3) can be of the ADC type. It can be a clinometer-clisometer-inclinometer or any type of instrument capable of measuring elevation, slope or inclination angles, also called an inclinometer or a meter. Different types are known: pendulum, compass, analog and digital electronics with or without laser pointer, ultrasound, infrared, goniometer, etc. There are models that include part of 1 or 2 scales of slopes, grades and percentage. This balance sensor (3) is capable of quantifying the degree of inclination of the motorcycle vehicle in the XY plane, that is, the angle α that said vehicle or motorcycle deviates from the Y axis towards the X axis passing through the center of gravity of the vehicle-motorcycle. This sensor, through a relay, will send a pulse of a certain electrical potential, depending on the measurement made. For example, if the value of the measured angle α is greater than or equal to a certain value (for example, α = 30 °), the relay will send the said electrical pulse Ei, while the value of the measured angle α is greater than or equal to a certain value (for example, α = 80 °), the relay will send the said electrical pulse E 2 .

Este sensor de equilibrio también es capaza de cuantificar el grado de inclinación de la motocicleta en el plano ZY, es decir, el ángulo β desde el eje Z paralelo a la calzada hacia el eje Y perpendicular a la calzada. Por ejemplo, si el valor del ángulo β medido es superior o igual a un determinado valor, por ejemplo β = 10°, el relé enviará el citado pulso E3. Para permitir la entrada de las señales o pulsos eléctricos registrados, se dispone de GPI's (4), generando una interrupción que es procesada por el microcontrolador del dispositivo, es decir, por el sistema de comunicación GPRS (6). Este sistema de comunicación GPRS (6) actúa junto con un módulo de posicionamiento GPS (5), de modo que una vez recibidas las señales de los sensores de velocidad (2) y equilibrio (3), enviará un mensaje de texto según corresponda, en función de la gravedad del incidente. Es decir, por ejemplo: This balance sensor is also capable of quantifying the degree of inclination of the motorcycle in the ZY plane, that is, the angle β from the Z axis parallel to the road to the Y axis perpendicular to the road. For example, if the value of the measured angle β is greater than or equal to a certain value, for example β = 10 °, the relay will send the said pulse E 3 . To allow the entry of the registered electrical signals or pulses, GPIs (4) are available, generating an interruption that is processed by the device's microcontroller, that is, by the GPRS communication system (6). This GPRS communication system (6) acts together with a GPS positioning module (5), so that once the signals from the speed (2) and balance (3) sensors are received, it will send a text message as appropriate, depending on the severity of the incident. That is, for example:

En el caso de que tengamos los pulsos Vi y Ei, la velocidad será mayor o igual a 45 Km/h y el ángulo α medido desde el eje Y será mayor o igual a 30°. Se da en este caso alto riesgo de caída en carretera, pero no es señal de alarma a través de SMS, por lo que el usuario será avisado a través de una señal luminosa incorporado al cuadro de a bordo o de indicadores o acústica mediante un pitido o alarma. Esta es una función únicamente disuasoria y de rectificación de la velocidad que se entiende inadecuada para ese tramo de carretera. In the case that we have the Vi and Ei pulses, the speed will be greater than or equal to 45 km / h and the angle α measured from the Y axis will be greater than or equal to 30 °. In this case there is a high risk of falling on the road, but it is not an alarm signal via SMS, so the user will be notified by means of a light signal incorporated into the dashboard or indicators or acoustic by means of a beep. or alarm This is a solely deterrent and speed rectification function that is deemed inappropriate for that section of road.

En el caso de que tengamos los pulsos Vi y E2, la velocidad será mayor o igual a 45Km/h y el ángulo α de inclinación medido desde el eje Y será mayor o igual a 80°. Se da en este caso una situación de caída en carretera, el GPRS (6) solicita la posición del vehículo al GPS (5) y envía un SMS al servicio central de emergencias del 1 12. El servicio de emergencias, tras tratar de ponerse en contacto con el motorista o conductor, y probablemente no obtener contestación, gestiona la llamada a los servicios médicos facilitándoles los datos, nivel de atención, localización, móvil de la persona de contacto, etc., todos aquellos que se consideren de interés. In the case that we have the Vi and E 2 pulses, the velocity will be greater than or equal to 45Km / h and the angle of inclination measured from the Y axis will be greater than or equal to 80 °. In this case there is a situation of road fall, the GPRS (6) requests the position of the vehicle to the GPS (5) and sends an SMS to the central emergency service of 1 12. The emergency service, after trying to get in contact with the motorcyclist or driver, and probably not getting an answer, manages the call to medical services by providing data, level of care, location, mobile of the contact person, etc., all those considered of interest.

(III) En el caso de que tengamos los pulsos V2 y Ei , la velocidad será = Km/h y el ángulo de inclinación α será mayor o igual a(III) In the case that we have the pulses V 2 and Ei, the speed will be = Km / h and the angle of inclination α will be greater than or equal to

80°. Se da en este caso una situación de caída de la moto parada, posible acción de las inclemencias, vandalismo u otros. Se enviará un mensaje de texto al propietario. (IV) En el caso de que tengamos los pulsos V2 y E3, la velocidad será 0 Km/h y el ángulo β medido desde el eje Z será mayor o igual a 10°. Se da en este caso una situación de retirada de la motocicleta o vehículo, el GPRS (6) solicita la posición de dicha motocicleta o vehículo al GPS (5), y envía un SMS al propietario indicando que ha sido levantada, sin saber si ha sido sustracción o retirada por las fuerzas del orden. 80 °. In this case there is a situation of falling motorcycle stop, possible inclement action, vandalism or others. A text message will be sent to the owner. (IV) In the case that we have pulses V 2 and E 3 , the speed will be 0 Km / h and the angle β measured from the Z axis will be greater than or equal to 10 °. In this case there is a situation of withdrawal of the motorcycle or vehicle, the GPRS (6) requests the position of said motorcycle or vehicle to the GPS (5), and sends an SMS to the owner indicating that it has been lifted, without knowing if it has been subtraction or withdrawal by law enforcement.

Una batería (7) de alimentación auxiliar del dispositivo será recargada por la propia batería del vehículo por medio de la energía cinética recogida en el movimiento de la motocicleta o vehículo y seguirá activada durante un periodo de tiempo prudencial a pesar de que el vehículo no tuviese el contacto puesto. Del mismo modo se puede conseguir la recarga por medio de cualquier sistema auxiliar de generación eléctrica sostenible como puede ser el proporcionado por las energía renovables y con cierta capacidad de autonomía de duración. An auxiliary power battery (7) of the device will be recharged by the vehicle's own battery by means of the kinetic energy collected in the movement of the motorcycle or vehicle and will remain activated for a reasonable period of time even though the vehicle did not have The contact put. In the same way, the recharge can be achieved by means of any auxiliary system of sustainable electricity generation, such as that provided by renewable energy and with a certain capacity of autonomy of duration.

Una parte importante del dispositivo se encuentra en los datos almacenados en la tarjeta de memoria (8). Esta tarjeta de memoria (8) comprende datos relativos la historial médico y datos personales de interés de al menos el conductor, pudiendo introducir en ella también los datos de tantos acompañantes como se desee. De este modo, al enviar la señal de alarma, en el mensaje de texto SMS se envía tanto la citada señal como los datos de los posibles afectados en el accidente y que puedan ser de interés para los servicios sanitarios a la hora de actuar, como pueden ser alergias a determinados medicamentos y otros. An important part of the device is found in the data stored on the memory card (8). This memory card (8) includes data related to the medical history and personal data of interest of at least the driver, and can also enter in it the data of as many companions as desired. Thus, when sending the signal of alarm, in the SMS text message, the aforementioned signal is sent as well as the data of the possible affected in the accident and that may be of interest to the health services when acting, such as allergies to certain medications and others.

Puesto que en el vehículo puede encontrarse más de un ocupante, en lugar de incluir los datos del o los acompañantes a través de la tarjeta de memoria (8), puedan estar integrados en una pulsera que portaría en su muñeca, ( ó en cualquier otro elemento fácilmente transportable en ropa , casco...) con los elementos necesarios para su funcionamiento, como placa base, microcontrolador, dispositivo de recepción-emisión de señal inalámbrico, además de su propia tarjeta de memoria con el historial médico de dicho acompañante. En este caso, si existe acompañante y lleva pulsera, el dispositivo envía una señal a dicha pulsera para recoger los datos y enviarlos junto con los del conductor a través de SMS al servicio de emergencias de forma simultánea. Since more than one occupant can be found in the vehicle, instead of including the data of the passenger or companions through the memory card (8), they can be integrated into a wristband that would be worn on his wrist, (or any other element easily transportable in clothing, helmet ...) with the necessary elements for its operation, such as motherboard, microcontroller, wireless signal reception-emission device, in addition to its own memory card with the medical history of said companion. In this case, if there is a companion and wears a bracelet, the device sends a signal to said bracelet to collect the data and send them together with those of the driver via SMS to the emergency service simultaneously.

Así, al enviar la señal de alarma, el servicio de emergencias intenta contactar con el conductor, y en el caso de que no exista comunicación, remitirá el SMS y los datos personales del usuario y/o acompañantes al hospital o centro de salud más cercano, enviando una ambulancia al punto exacto, con los datos de interés de los pacientes antes de llegar al lugar del incidente, ganando de este modo un tiempo vital. Los datos de la tarjeta de memoria (8) pueden ser actualizados y modificados tantas veces como se desee de manera rápida y cómoda. El/los acompañantes, en caso de su existencia y para saber de ellos, tendrán que ir provistos de un emisor de frecuencia. Es decir, el dispositivo detecta la presencia del emisor de frecuencia que porta el acompañante justo antes de que se envíe el SMS para incorporar los datos al mismo. El dispositivo de localización y orientación en asistencia médica llevará además un módulo de idioma, de modo que los datos alojados en la tarjeta de memoria (8) se podrán incluir en el idioma que se desee con objeto de que el mensaje o comunicación se efectúe en el idioma del país donde se ha producido el accidente. Para ello, y gracias al sistema GPS se conocerá en qué país se encuentra mediante un pulso eléctrico diferente, el microcontrolador GPRS accederá al mensaje alojado en la memoria en el idioma del sitio correspondiente para posteriormente remitirlo al Servicio de Emergencias más próximo. Thus, when sending the alarm signal, the emergency service tries to contact the driver, and if there is no communication, he will send the SMS and the personal data of the user and / or companions to the nearest hospital or health center , sending an ambulance to the exact point, with the data of interest of the patients before arriving at the place of the incident, thus gaining a vital time. The data on the memory card (8) can be updated and modified as many times as desired quickly and conveniently. The companions, in case of their existence and to know about them, will have to be provided with a frequency transmitter. That is, the device detects the presence of the frequency transmitter that the companion carries just before the SMS is sent to incorporate the data into it. The medical assistance location and guidance device will also have a language module, so that the data stored on the memory card (8) can be included in the desired language so that the message or communication is made in The language of the country where the accident occurred. To do this, and thanks to the GPS system, it will be known in which country you are using a different electrical pulse, the GPRS microcontroller will access the message stored in the memory in the language of the corresponding site and then send it to the nearest Emergency Service.
