DE102006041952B3 - Multifunctional communication system on the head-belt - Google Patents

Abstract

In fast-moving cars, a multifunctional communication system with the property of a) the afferent information of the body in the form of the five senses of the human being (hearing, sight, smell, taste, feel) to register, b) the human efferent abilities such as speaking and muscle movements in to implement electronic information for the initiation of devices in the car; and c) to initiate a braking process with the aid of central cortical brain-brain scanning, to be attached to the sturdy headband and the chin strap of the head safety belt attached thereto.

Description

driver modern cars turn more often own, personal Language for initiation of devices in the car, such as Initiation of the car radio and its transmitter selection or road guide cards with linguistic instruction of the direction of travel (so-called navigation system). In the latter case, the driver's route becomes his predetermined destination not only displayed on the screen, but also announced. The The driver has to confirm what he said with words. Consequently the driver enters into real communication with the device.

There future ones Cars with ever higher speeds motorists and passengers become their own Personal safety in addition to the usual body safety harnesses Seat belts for wear the head, because today's usual Airbags act satisfactorily only up to an impact speed from 50 km / h (30 mph).

State of the art

The DE 20 2005 014 874 U1 describes a head harness with a fixed headband and hinged chin guard.

In the DE 100 33 985 A1 a holder for microphones on the body-safety belt is described, so that a communication in the near region of the mouth of the driver or several vehicle occupants with each other is possible. However, there is also the possibility of communicating accordingly in hazardous situations with areas outside the vehicle.

From the US 5 162006 A For example, safety equipment is associated with a seat belt system consisting of a vest with inflatable and transparent airbag and a breathing mask that allow a vehicle occupant to safely leave the vehicle for a two-minute period.

task

the Subject of the application is the object of safety from driver and occupant in cars thereby increasing the response time shortened in dangerous situations and a distraction of the driver from the traffic during the execution of ancillary activities is largely avoided.

The solution The object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous Embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

invention

At the headband and chin strap a head-belt, the individual components of the built multifunctional communication system.

• a) der menschlichen fünf Sinne (Hören, Sehen, Riechen, Schmecken und Fühlen) als afferente Kopfleistungen,
• b) menschlicher Fähigkeiten im Kopfbereich (Sprechen, Größe der Augenpupille in Abhängigkeit von der Lichteinstrahlung, muskuläre Bewegung der Gesichtsmuskulatur) als efferente Kopfleistungen,
• c) Hirnstrom gesteuerter Impulsgebung z.B. für eine schnellere Bremseinleitung des Autos ohne Zeitverzögerung durch die Latenz der langen Nervenbahnen bis zum peripheren Muskel der Beine. Diese Abtastung von zentral – corticalen Gehirn-Denkprozessen des Großhirns mittels den Kopf selbst nicht berührender Technik erscheint in naher Zukunft möglich. Erste Untersuchungen mit Magnet – Resonanz – Tomografie (MRT) bei Personen mit heftigem, plötzlichen Gedankenprozess haben diese Möglichkeit schon nachgewiesen.

The individual components of the multifunctional communication system relate to the technical devices for the respective implementation

• a) the human five senses (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling) as afferent head performances,
• b) human abilities in the head area (speaking, size of the eye pupil depending on the light irradiation, muscular movement of the facial muscles) as efferent head powers,
• c) Brain current controlled impulse eg for a faster brake initiation of the car without time delay by the latency of the long nerve tracts up to the peripheral muscle of the legs. This scan of central cortical brain thinking processes of the cerebrum using the technique of non - touching of the head appears to be possible in the near future. First investigations with magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) in persons with violent, sudden thought process have already proved this possibility.

Based the single figure becomes an embodiment closer to the invention explained.

As the single figure illustrates in a simplified way, the multifunctional communication system on the head - seat belt 10 a car driver 1 The following devices and devices include:

- Speak:

Here can via a microphone 4 on the chin guard 3 of the head-safety belt 10 Language can be recorded, for example, to initiate the initiation of technical devices in the car or serve as part of a telephone system. Navigation systems can use this microphone 4 the words of the driver 1 be recorded. About a speaker 14 for the ear 16 A voice dialogue can be conducted with the navigation device.

- Listen:

Here the driver can 1 over a loudspeaker 14 close to his ear 16 Receive words. This speaker 14 is useful for a car's navigation system, but it would also be good for announcing engine damage that occurred while driving or announcing errors in the diagnostic test of the electronics. So far derar electronic diagnostic tests via a monitor screen in the workshop. Such technical error detection and control systems can all be accessed through this loudspeaker 14 as speaking information to the driver 1 to lead.

- See:

Here can with glasses 7 on the headband of the head-belt 10 fixed, the eyesight of the car driver 1 be improved. Applicable is a pair of glasses 7 but also when driving with polarized light as a remedy for dazzling phenomena by oncoming vehicles at nighttime darkness. With this fold-down glasses 7 would be a viable solution for driving with polarized light.

- Smell or breathing:

For example, outside air can be introduced directly from the exterior of the car via the nose, but this airway has 6 currently no importance in the automotive industry

- Taste:

A verbal initiation while driving could be a drinking tube 5 , the chin strap 3 of the head-safety belt 10 is fastened, to be brought to the mouth The look of the driver 1 would not have to be averted when drinking while driving eg on the highway and thus this solution would be especially for (professional) solo driver an excellent solution to avoid accidents by distraction from the actual driving.

- Scanning Central cortical brain thinking processes of the cerebrum:

For such a scan with a device 13 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the first step in recording central cortical thinking processes. To shorten the latency from detecting the danger to the onset of braking, the direct connection from the brain to the autobrake and the long nerve fibers of the brake leg are desirable ,
