DE202017000036U1 - Functioning or non-functioning switch or a switch-like design on the siren of a mPER, giving the impression that by pressing it the sound can be switched off, causing the attacker to press the switch in vain and thus leaving information about the attacker. - Google Patents

Abstract

Combining an external switch with a loudspeaker for use with a mobile terminal (mPERS) for the purpose of externally triggering an emergency sequence with the possibility to emit a sound signal preferably with high sound pressure, in which a switch is fitted to the siren, with which the sound can be switched on and off.

Description

Preliminary note

This application is a subsequent application to various patents and utility models of the Applicant relating to various emergency backup systems.

It also applies to other devices of the type of personal, and especially mobile emergency backup devices (mPERS) not covered by the applicant's previous applications.

starting position

Mobile emergency backup devices have been available on the market since about 2009 and are widely available due to the advent of smartphones, ie mobile phones with computing power and GPS positioning. Here, the position of the user is determined constantly or after alarm triggering and sent a message to a predetermined person, company, organization or group of people, especially via mobile Internet, WLAN and / or text message (SMS).

Common to all devices is that the manual operation for triggering the alarm can be carried out regularly on the device itself.

There are also external auxiliary devices on the market where the triggering, usually via Bluetooth connection to the mobile device, takes place in such a way that a fall is detected either by the external device (case sensor).
and or
the user actuates a switch which sends a preferred coded signal to the mobile terminal, which then further triggers the emergency sequence.

A siren can be used to stave off an attacker particularly intensely, where he is confused by the sound pressure and has to fear seizure by others in hearing range.

The present method takes this approach and extends it to a path, whether the attack persists or the attacker fails to later capture the attacker by leaving information about himself at the crime scene like a business card and announcing the scene of the crime.

Problem Description

According to UNHCR reports, in the industrialized world of 100 rapes, only 30 will be reported, three of which will end in a court case and only one in every 100 rapists will ever face more than a day in prison.

• - die schwierige Beweislage, die der Polizei und den Staatsanwaltschaften die Suche nach dem Attentäter erschweren oder unmöglich machen („Beweise es“);
• - die Unfähigkeit des Opfers, den Attentäter wegen Dunkelheit oder Maskierung zu beschreiben („ich war es nicht“);
• - die Aussage gegen Aussage Situation im und vor der Gerichtsverhandlung („Sie wollte es“).

Reason are

• - the difficult evidence that makes it difficult or impossible for the police and prosecutors to find the assassin ("evidence");
• the victim's inability to describe the assassin for darkness or masking ("it was not me");
• - the statement against statement situation in and before the trial ("She wanted it").

The method described here prevents the stalemate and gives the police clear evidence of how an assassin can be found and / or convicted.

Summary

The trip unit is physically combined with an alarm device, preferably a piezo alarm, which e.g. emits a signal with a high sound pressure or in the vicinity of the trigger device connected with the possibility to separate the trip unit from the siren; or as shown in the applicant's patent application of 2013, 12255 EP / WO in claims 17 et seq., The triggering is done externally to a device which the user preferably carries on the body, but not in combination with the external accessory, ie the switch, but separated and independent of it.

As the physical and electronic design is done, the alarm device (the siren) is augmented with a device to deceive the attacker.

Description of the invention

Described is a functioning or non-functioning switch or even a switch-like design ("indentation") on the siren of a mPERS, giving the impression that by pressing the sound is switched off, causing the attacker in vain to press the switch and thus information about leaving the attacker behind.

embodiments

1. I) In der ersten Variante kann der Schall ausgelöst werden, indem der funktionierende Schalter betätigt wird.
   1. 1. Untervariante : Abschaltung möglich durch den Schalter In dieser Variante kann tatsächlich der Schall beendet werden, indem der Schalter in einer bestimmten Weise gedrückt wird, sei es in einer bestimmten Richtung oder in einer bestimmten Sequenz, also zB wie bei einem Morsezeichen.
   2. 2. Untervariante : Abschalten nur durch andere Methode möglich In dieser Variante kann die Abschaltung nicht durch den Schalter erfolgen, also zB durch einen Schlüssel oder elektronisch durch zB ein Funksignal.
2. II) In der zweiten Ausführungsform erfolgt die Auslösung extern - sei es durch Abziehen eines Stifts, Entfernen der Sirene aus einer Halterung oder elektronisch, zB per Funk, oder ähnlichem - und der Schalter ist „blind“.
   1. 1. Untervariante : Echter Schalter ohne Funktion. Es wird ein echter Schalter verbaut im Gehäuse der Sirene, der aber keine Funktion hat.
   2. 2. Untervariante : Attrappe eines Schalters In dieser Variante wird im Geäuse der Sirene ein einem Schalter ähnelndes Bauteil verbaut, entweder herausragend oder eingelassen. Bevorzugt wird dieses zur besseren Sichtbarkeit farbig oder grau oder mit einem Tonsignal oder ähnlicher Symbolik markiert.
   3. 3. Untervariante : Scharfe Kante am Rand des Schalters In einer Untervariante wird der Rand des Schalters, ob echt oder falsch, scharf oder zackig verarbeitet sein und eine Rille besitzen.

There are 2 variants and then up to 3 subvariants:

1. I) In the first variant of the sound can be triggered by the functioning switch is actuated.
   1. 1. Sub-variant: switch-off possible with the switch In this variant, the sound can actually be stopped by pressing the switch in a certain way, be it in a certain direction or in a certain sequence, eg like a Morse sign.
   2. 2nd sub-variant: Shutdown only possible by other method In this variant, the shutdown can not be done by the switch, so for example by a key or electronically by eg a radio signal.
2. II) In the second embodiment, the triggering takes place externally - either by removing a pin, removing the siren from a holder or electronically, eg by radio, or the like - and the switch is "blind".
   1. 1st sub-variant: Real switch without function. It is a real switch installed in the housing of the siren, but has no function.
   2. 2. Sub-variant: Dummy of a switch In this variant, a component similar to a switch is installed in the housing of the siren, either protruding or recessed. Preferably this is colored or gray for better visibility or marked with a sound signal or similar symbolism.
   3. 3. Sub-variant: Sharp edge on the edge of the switch In a sub-variant, the edge of the switch, whether real or false, will be sharp or jagged and have a groove.

Functionality :

The victim triggers the alarm. It throws the siren at the feet of the attacker. He will seek escape or instinctively reach for the siren and try to shut it off. He does not succeed in this, so that he will give up this project after some time. This already gives the victim the time to leave.

The attacker will eventually throw the switch, as he does not want to run around with the siren, as it just attracts attention.

• - seinen Fingerabdruck mindestens auf dem echten oder falschen Schalter;
• - seine DNA;
• - und schließlich im Fall der scharfen oder gezackten Kante vielleicht sogar Hautschuppen und im besten Fall sogar winzige Blutspuren, falls er sich schneidet, am Schalter und/oder in der Rille.

1. With a futile attempt to press the switch and turn off the noise, leaves the attacker

• - his fingerprint at least on the real or wrong switch;
• - his DNA;
• - and finally, in the case of the sharp or jagged edge, perhaps even dander and, at best, even tiny traces of blood, if it cuts, at the counter and / or in the groove.

2. Finding the siren is easy even after the battery is depleted, since it is located exactly where the alarm was triggered by the victim.

This allows the police to secure the perpetrator's real or genetic fingerprint; The perpetrator must explain why fingerprints are found on an alarm device that is found on the scene of a declared crime and in the case of two contradictory statements, why despite a triggered siren alarm consensual sexual intercourse should have taken place.

modifications

1. Preferably, the true or false switch or mock counter is marked colored or gray or with a tone or other symbol to prompt the attacker to press the switch.

2. In a particular variation, the siren-on switch may begin to light to show the attacker the location of the switch.

3. In a further modification, a lighting unit can be installed, which preferably has a smooth surface and which lights up in, preferably garish, with alarm start. This is intended to lighten the face of the attacker, to make the situation visible to third parties in the event of the glaring light, and to assign the attacker the task of switching off both noise and light, ie trying twice what he can not do.
