Abstract

The arrangement is used only in case of emergency or in unusual situations, and sends, and possibly receives, at activation data in a cellular network. A current position of the instrument is preferably determined from a GPS signal and/or other signals, and this position is sent at activation, preferably repeatedly in predetermined intervals.

Description

field of use

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.

State of the art

Es gibt in der heutigen Zeit einige Möglichkeiten, um sich im Notfall oder in außergewöhnlichen Situationen bemerkbar zu machen. V.a. ältere und kranke Personen können mit Hilfe eines am Körper getragenen Gerätes mit dem Rettungsdienst in Verbindung treten. Für den Fall eines Einbruchs hilft der heiße Draht zum Sicherheitsdienst. Bei Autodiebstahl macht die Alarmanlage auf das Geschehen aufmerksam. Diese Liste ließe sich beliebig fortsetzen und zeigt, daß in der Bevölkerung ein großes Bedürfnis nach Sicherheit besteht.There are some ways to get yourself in an emergency or in these days to make unusual situations noticeable. V.a. elderly and sick people can be connected to the emergency services using a device worn on the body to step. In the event of a break-in, the hot line to the security service helps. At Car theft alerts the alarm system to what is happening. This list could be continue indefinitely and shows that there is a great need for security among the population consists.

Disadvantages of the prior art

Der heutige Stand der Technik weist gravierende Schwächen auf. So sind z. B. am Körper getragene Notfallmeldegeräte in ihrem Wirkradius eingeschränkt. Um sich bei einem Einbruch bemerkbar zu machen, muß das Gebäude mit einem (teueren) Sicherheitsunternehmen verbunden sein, das möglichst in der Nähe sitzen soll. Wird die Alarmanlage im Auto außer Kraft gesetzt, so ist es schwer, die Spur des KFZ weiter zu verfolgen. Auch die Liste der Nachteile ließe sich fortsetzen. The current state of the art has serious weaknesses. So z. B. on the body used emergency reporting devices limited in their effective radius. To look at a break-in To make it noticeable, the building must be operated by an (expensive) security company connected that should sit as close as possible. The car alarm system will fail When it is set in motion, it is difficult to continue following the track of the vehicle. Even the list of Disadvantages could continue.

Object of the invention

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung ein billiges und universell einsetzbares Gerät vorzustellen, das im Notfall oder bei außergewöhnlichen Situationen aktiviert wird. Ein Empfänger soll umfassende Informationen erhalten und so schnelle Hilfen ermöglichen.It is the object of the invention to present a cheap and universally applicable device that activated in an emergency or in exceptional situations. A recipient should receive comprehensive information and enable quick help.

Solution of the task

Mit den heutigen Technologien besteht die Möglichkeit, aus dem GPS Signal und/oder anderen Signalen, die aktuelle Position eines Gerätes zu ermitteln. Mittlerweile existieren in Deutschland und Europa mehrere flächendeckend ausgebaute digitale Netze, die das Senden und Empfangen von Daten ermöglichen. Allerdings sind die dazu nötigen mobilen Telefone teuer in Anschaffung und Unterhalt.With today's technologies there is the possibility of the GPS signal and / or others Signals to determine the current position of a device. Meanwhile exist in Germany and Europe several nationwide digital networks that are sending and receive data. However, the necessary mobile phones are expensive to buy and maintain.

Die Erfindung besteht aus einem Sendegerät, das bei Aktivierung einen Datensatz sendet. Dieser Datensatz kann z. B. persönliche Daten enthalten. Er kann auch den aktuellen Ort des Gerätes enthalten. Ein Empfänger kann mit Hilfe dieser Daten schnelle Hilfe veranlassen.The invention consists of a transmitter that sends a data set when activated. This record can e.g. B. contain personal data. He can also see the current location of the Device included. A recipient can use this data to get help quickly.

Advantages of the invention

- Since the device transmits in a cellular network, there are hardly any restrictions for the User.
- As a sender of data records, the device can be produced small, light and cheap. It however, variants with voice operation are also conceivable.
- Since the device is specifically designed for emergencies or exceptional situations the available capacities of the networks even when the device is widely used not attacked.
- Sending personal data enables adequate help in an emergency.
- If, in addition to personal data, the current location is also sent, auxiliary services or other people can be sent directly to this location.
- If the device z. B. integrated into the body of a vehicle or hidden in one If the vehicle is attached, the current position can be stolen at regular intervals be sent. This enables quick clarification.
