Referring to above-mentioned attached drawing, the remote assistance equipment as the object of the invention includes being equipped with specific software to apply (App) intelligenceCan mobile phone, and the bracelet 10 (appended by Fig. 1) that can be worn as user, have long-range control BLE (Low energy) it is integrated inIn bracelet itself.
The bracelet 10 of different editions, different colours can be obtained, and function is equivalent in any case.
In particular, the ribbon 11 made of soft material (rubber-type) of bracelet 10 and the center portion or shell that are also rubber12 compositions, or according to embodiment, the center portion or shell are rigidity plastics, the center portion or shell include operation electricitySub-circuit 13 and power-supply battery 14,17；It is all these be provided to more easily using and greatly reduce size.Fig. 2 of accompanyingIt shows the internal structure of bracelet 10, shows that internal electronics 13 and power-supply battery 14,17 are bonded to and bracelet 10 are madeIn rubber or plastic material.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 of accompanying illustrate in greater detail electronic circuit 13, power supply primary battery (primary power source battery) 14,17The button 15 of (non-rechargeable), two inside, the button are the rubber ribbon objects by pressing the outside of 10 two sides of braceletThe electronic circuit 16 of triggering and the BLE transceiver with combination associated batteries 14,17.
Therefore, bracelet 10 combines non-exchange supply battery 14,17；The product design be used for using primary battery 14,17 carry out operation in about 4 years, and the combination of the primary battery is advantageous and user can not touch.
Manufactured bracelet 10 is completely waterproof in this way, and by the button of user's operation during product use15 are also integrated in the center portion 12 that cannot be opened.
In addition, button 15 is securely fixed on electronic circuit 13, and when user laterally presses bracelet 10, braceletThe deformation of 10 rubber body causes the pressing of button 15.
In alternative embodiment, the circuit 13 with battery 14,17 and button 15 is placed in rigidity plasticsIn heart ontology, central body is sealing, and button is as operated by transverse rubber insertion piece, under any circumstance, the rubberInsertion piece guarantees air-tightness but allows to deform by push button.
Bracelet 10 is for plea for aid and the equipment for avoiding false alarm signal, it is necessary to press two buttons 15 to triggerRequest for assistance.
In particular, user must be laterally pressed the center portion 12 of bracelet 10 with and meanwhile press two buttons 15.
Appearance of this movement in the normal routine use of bracelet has a possibility that low, even if not discovering in wristMobile period.
Button 15 also has the function of starting and turning off bracelet；In particular, briefly pressing bracelet if bracelet is closedButton 15 on right side opens bracelet 10, and presses the button 15 in left side for a long time, then closes bracelet.
When button 15 is pressed the minimum time about 1 second together, alarm program is triggered, this will be retouched in detail belowIt states.
The ribbon 11 of bracelet 10 also sets up buckle 18 made of useful metal or rigidity plastics, which has dual functionIt can, that is, close the end and aesthetics decoration of one of two sides of ribbon 11.
When user admission ribbon 11, the length on one of two sides or lid side is more than necessary amounts, to match wider rulerVery little wrist, and in order to cosily adapt to wrist, user is after separating buckle 18, the part for being more than with scissors cut, andThen the lid side of trimming is closed inside buckle 18；In this way, buckle 18 just conceals the inaccurate of cutting, the product is maintainedThe decoration of aesthetics, even if once it had been accommodated (appended Fig. 3).
The operation of remote assistance equipment according to the present invention is substantially as follows.
It is related to operating system associated with used model (IOS, Android etc.), intelligence mobile phone configuration has specialThe application (App) of door, will mention as TLS_APP later, and manage automatic calling order in the following manner.
TLS_APP is once loaded into smart phone, will execute from the background its function, and therefore always activity withoutThe normal function of meeting " interference " smart phone.
TLS_APP is received from bracelet 10 (passing through the BLE message that receives from bracelet itself via radio) and is come fromThe input signal of the inertia system (acceleration transducer, gyroscope and magnetometer) of smart phone；In addition, TLS_APP uses intelligenceThe service of energy mobile phone operating system is to have the data about smart phone geographical location itself constantly updated, in alarm or realityWhen existing " following me " function, data will be used to provide its position to callee, be existed according to the user that the function has on bracelet 10By a monitoring in his " Guardian Angel " when it is moved, it is somebody's turn to do " Guardian Angel " and dominates smart phone in turn, similarlyTLS_APP is resided on the smart phone and is received the notice about user geographical location.
For example, because the button 15 of bracelet 10 is pressed simultaneously, being exhaled automatically when TLS_APP identifies alarm stateProgram is made to be triggered to telephone number associated with event itself；These numbers are successively exhaled from first to last oneIt cries.
When per call is triggered, the hands-free phone of smart phone is triggered, so as to by the people of push button and called" number " is automatically in merging voice communication.
If program is not interrupted by receiving by one of the callee of confirmation alarm correct management " confirmation ", the journeySequence continues until last storage number.
" confirmation " can be sent in the form of SMS or DTMF character, or via IP network, be connected to data in smart phoneIn the case where network.
Can first the replicated voice prerecorded for being sent to called party it disappear in the triggering of per call, hands-free phoneBreath, such as: " help of request Mario, comes from number 6475555555 ".
Meanwhile smart phone sends warning information to the number listed associated with event by SMS, and if evenIt is connected to IP data network, then all warning informations are sent to the smart phone for being connected to the other users of alarm inventory, it mayIt is further equipped with TLS_APP appropriate or other similar App, can manage and show warning information.
In the case where data network connection, TLS_APP sends the identity and alarm with caller to recipient immediatelyThe related alert notification of the geographic position data of reason and caller, it is all these all " cloud " to be used to service.
In this case, the TLS_APP of recipient, using the Map Services of host operating system, in addition to recipientOutside the signal for the reason of sounding an alarm, the estimated location of caller is also provided immediately on geographical reference map.
Therefore, same TLS_APP receives the alarm call of the other users possibly connected in logic automatically, andIn this case, request for assistance is managed in the best way, automatically identifies caller and display immediately has its groundManage the map of position.
This has been created that virtual community, i.e., one group is all mounted with same TLS_ on their smart phoneThe user (for example, kinsfolk) of APP can be helped mutually in the case where accident with possible most effective and quick managementHelp demand.
Any user of the group, by pressing two buttons 15 of bracelet 10, automatically by he itself on hands-free phoneIt is placed in the communication of first user associated with alarm inventory, while the latter receives the intelligence for being automatically displayed and possessing at him immediatelyIt is geographical referring to warning information on energy mobile phone.
First callee on inventory can be call center (such as call center, SOSBeghelli), be easy to mentionFor 24 hours assistance services, and it is equipped with personnel appropriate administrative alert in a manner of profession, is communicated immediately with callee, andHe is finally placed in the communication with public assistance service, and identifies position accurately to send rescue team immediately.
The inertial sensor of smart phone can be the Different Origin of alarm call, if TLS_APP is suitably configuredTo provide alarm in these cases.
For example, smart phone for a long time it is inactive in the case where, can be used similar to those by remote assistance byThe calling order mode of button triggering triggers alarm call.
Equally, the record of acceleration is too violent or the specific markers with indicative mechanical shock can be triggering assistanceThe reason of call program.
All these different alarm reasons are all managed by TLS_APP, and the phase of identification alarm reason is sent to recipientClose information, or by speech message send short messages on SMS or IP network on data in the form of.
The button 15 being integrated in bracelet 10 is connected to built-in electronic circuit 13；Appended Fig. 6 shows the electronic circuit13 possible electrical arrangement principle.
The circuit byTransceiver-type BLE (being referred to as BLE RTX) composition, and in the example of display, by4 3V lithium manganese oxide button cells feed is connected in parallel with each other with 14,17 instructions, to obtain the size compatibility with bracelet 10Maximum capacity and maximum available current.
Battery 14,17 is welded to circuit 13, or connect with circuit spring itself is soldered to.
The battery 14 of former type (non-rechargeable) has the autonomic function of several years (3-4)；The solution provides highThe advantages of reliability, because the connection of battery to electronic circuit 13 is permanently connected.
When BLE RTX transceiver is opened, it is generally in standby mode；Its every 10-20 seconds only periodically start it is severalSecond, to check the connection with smart phone.
When push button 15, circuit 13 must be triggered the time strictly, to transmit information to smart phone.
The appended power unit shown in Fig. 6 with low-down power consumption is managed by two buttons 15 of bracelet 10, shouldButton is also used to start and turn off the manipulation of circuit other than being connected to transceiver BLE RTX to generate alarm state.
In fact, since battery 14,17 cannot be movable by the user, it is therefore desirable to mechanism come guarantee shut down and startPossibility, at least two abundant reasons:
When bracelet 10 is fabricated and is stored in warehouse, it is useless for slowly consuming battery in the operation being not necessarily to, until user buys and puts into operation.
If it is any it is unpredictable due to (for example, electromagnetic interference), the operation of BLE RTX transceiver is hinderedOnly, then providing can be easy to restart mechanism by the guarantee appropriate of the equipment of user's operation.
The electronic circuit 13 of Fig. 6 advantageously operates this function, real with low leakage mosfet transistor (M1, M2, M3 and M4)Existing low-down power consumption.
When battery First Contact Connections, the grid of M3 passes through R7 immediately and R11 is polarized；M3 opens and prevents M4, works as M4When turning off, disconnect BLE RTX transceiver and battery 14,17.
The consumption of entire circuit is limited to the electric current flowed through in the R8 with very high ohmic value, and maintenance wastage in bulk or weight is usingThe self-discharge current of lithium, several hundred nA of the order of magnitude of battery, certainly insignificant part.
The pressure of SW2 makes M4 polarize and is started by R10, causes the bistable cutting being made of M4 and M3；ElectricityRoad starting and the start-up operation of BLE RTX transceiver, by BLE message cycle communicate with the TLS_APP of smart phone.
After two buttons 15 (SW1, SW2) even press for a long time simultaneously, BLE RTX transceiver is sent out to smart phoneAlert message is sent, this starts alarm program according to the above method.
TLS_APP is suitably managed and the logical connection of BLE RTX transceiver, in configuration " App " itself, the transceiverIt is suitably coupled to smart phone.
The periodical communication of TLS_APP management and the BLE RTX transceiver circuit of bracelet 10.
The BLE RTX transceiver of bracelet 10 occurs to the cyclical transmission of smart phone for example, frequency is every 10-20 secondsOnce.
In the case where TLS_APP can not be with 10 periodical communication of bracelet, same TLS_APP passes through suitable on smart phoneWhen notice issues the user with the signal of problem.
In the case where user presses single button SW1, the charging process of capacitor C1 is since resistance R4；The RC networkSize is for postponing at least 10 seconds, and transistor M2 starts later, turns off M4 and turns off entire circuit.
At the same time in the case where push button 15 (SW1 and SW2), transistor M1 properly inhibits the charging of C1 and thereforeTurn off；To also two buttons 15 be kept to be pressed Infinite Time.
From the description done, the characteristic of remote assistance equipment is and the present invention it will be evident that this is target of the inventionClear advantage.
In particular, they are indicated by innovative elements below and most important characteristic:
Very small bracelet with the BLE transceiver combined and the smart phone with application software appropriate (App)Combination is used for communication and alarm management；
Bracelet with double-button；It could be triggered since the two must be pressed, minimize false alarm；
Electronic device is incorporated in the rubber material of bracelet ribbon；Therefore it can determine that guarantee is tight after steepingSealing；
Non- replaceable primary battery；Accordingly, it is determined that for the maximum reliability and comfort level of user, which does not need pipeReason recharges, and long-term autonomous (about 4 years)；
The wireless connection of supervision and smart phone；In this way, if bracelet is inactive, user is in smart phoneUpper reception notice；
There is difunctional button；A function in two functions is as power knob, another function is to useIt (is pressed by long-time) in closing；
Circuit is managed using the ON/OFF that mosfet transistor is realized, is had low-down power consumption (hundreds of nA)；
It is exclusively used in the application software (App) of management remote assistance (TLS_APP), has calling to neutralize the two in reception；
Same application software TLS_APP allows to receive alarm signal from the other users similarly applied；At thisIn the case of kind, recipient finds the geographical reference position of caller over the display；
" following me " function, according to the function, caller is applied from caller using TLS_APP and is received about callerGeographical location periodic advertisement.
Finally, it is possible to other embodiment be introduced to discussed remote assistance equipment, without departing from structure of the present inventionPrinciple on the basis of think of, as possible in actual implementation mode of the invention, material and shape and size be can beAccording to technical need selection.
