Description

This group of inventions relates to the field of autonomous wearable electronic devices for providing rapid signal transmission, for example, in emergency situations or situations requiring prompt service. In particular, it can be used for global emergency assistance calls or immediate assistance. It consists of a wearable local-range transceiver and transceiver that connects to devices with their own power source and hardware data interfaces. This approach ensures fast and reliable communication by transmitting messages through an intermediate device with access to a wider range of connections, such as cellular networks or an internet connection, thereby expanding the wearable device's range while maintaining its autonomous operation.

The problem addressed by the present invention is that in various situations, people may need to immediately notify emergency services or a specific recipient. These needs are even more pressing for the elderly or those with limited mobility, who may live alone or face physical difficulties. There may also be a need to send local messages over long distances at any given time or to continuously monitor health indicators with the ability to respond quickly over a global network. Despite the capabilities of modern communications technologies, which allow us to contact loved ones or rescuers via cellular networks, Wi-Fi, or internet messaging, there are limitations that become apparent during emergencies or long-term use. For example, using a smartphone often requires manual actions such as unlocking the device, accessing certain apps, or dialing a number, which can be time-consuming or impossible in a crisis, such as during a sudden illness such as a heart attack or stroke.

As of the filing date of this application, emergency call signaling systems are primarily focused on mobile phone apps, smartwatches, or fixed emergency call buttons. However, none of these fully meet the needs for accessibility, speed, and versatility. A person may be unable to reach a telephone due to a physical disability, or the location of the device in their home may require a long call time. Furthermore, situations may arise that require a portable and reliable device with a fast and simple call system and automatic user location.

These challenges highlight the need for a solution that operates independently of typical portable devices, using alternative local transmission methods with the ability to quickly connect to a global network. Such a device could bridge the gap, allowing users to activate an emergency signal with minimal physical effort. The device should be designed as a wearable device, equipped with a simple interface capable of transmitting a signal via local communication methods, such as short-range radio, to a receiver that interfaces with cellular or internet networks, without requiring frequent recharging.

An essential criterion for such a device should be convenience and practicality for everyday use, especially for the elderly or people with disabilities who value a sense of security without the need for maintenance. Furthermore, the user does not need to purchase an additional fixed base station for global communications.

From the prior art examined by the applicant, an invention was discovered according to patent US 11947784 "User interface for making a telephone call". The essence is an electronic device that includes: a touch display; one or more processors; memory; and one or more programs, wherein one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured for execution by one or more processors, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for: detecting a first user input; in response to detecting the first user input: displaying a first option, wherein the selection of the first option initiates a telephone call to a certain number; and continuing to detect the first user input, initiates a countdown, wherein initiating the countdown includes displaying a visual indication of the countdown on the display, wherein the visual indication of the countdown is displayed in a location corresponding to the first option; determining that the countdown is complete; and in response to determining that the countdown is complete, initiating a telephone call to a certain number.

The disadvantages of the known invention are:

– using touch input and long presses may result in accidental activation of emergency calls;

– Continuous monitoring of user actions and providing haptic feedback during the countdown may drain the device's battery, which may reduce its availability in real-world emergencies if it is not charged regularly;

– Elderly users or those with cognitive impairments may have difficulty understanding the multi-step process required to make and end emergency calls, potentially limiting the device's usability for its intended audience.

The disadvantages of the known invention are:

– the range of a local transmitter when using standard data transmission protocols such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi imposes restrictions that require the device to be constantly within the reach of a global communications facility;

– there is no possibility to accurately and quickly indicate the required emergency service, which requires additional verification and clarification through questions from the device operator, increasing the overall response time;

– triggers based on motion sensors or accidental button presses may result in false alerts;

An invention is known from patent US 9756454 "Portable wearable primary device that transmits data to a secondary device that interacts with multiple networks and associated communication systems." The essence is a communication system that includes a primary device, said primary device including a controller, a short-range signal transmitter and a power source, and at least one switch, and an indicator lamp and a short-range signal receiver, where said receiver is adapted to receive a short-range signal reflecting that a transmission signal by said primary device has been successfully received by a relay communication device, and a second signal has been transmitted by said relay device in accordance with a predetermined protocol, and in response to activating said indicator lamp, and in response to activating said switch, said controller configures an outgoing signal that includes instructions to a processor in said relay receiver for relaying a predetermined message to at least one predetermined destination device selected from a plurality of predetermined destination devices that are stored in said relay device, and said second signal further comprises either email, text messages and voice telephone calls, and said relay sends the first predetermined message content to the first selected destination in response to detection of a signal from a specified primary device and transmits subsequent messages either in response to response signals from the first destination or, if no response signals are received after a specified time, sends subsequent messages in accordance with the specified programming of the specified relay device.

The disadvantages of the known invention are:

– there is no possibility to accurately and quickly indicate the required emergency service, which requires additional verification and clarification through questions from the device operator, increasing the overall response time;

– as additional equipment for connecting to the global network, it is permitted to use only a single device that provides the ability to transmit a signal to the global network;

– the range of a local transmitter when using standard data transmission protocols such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi imposes limitations that require the device to be constantly within the reach of a global communications facility.

The disadvantage of all known applications for continuous monitoring of the user's heart rate is:

– the need to maintain a constant connection between the bracelet or smartwatch and the intermediate device for continuous monitoring of heart rate;

– the range of a local transmitter when using standard data transmission protocols such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi imposes restrictions that require the device to be constantly within the reach of a global communications facility;

– if there is no internet connection, the recipient will not be able to receive the notification from the application.

The closest to the claimed technical solution, selected by the applicant as a prototype, is the invention according to patent US 10111079 "Accessory for a mobile device with a separate component for control or notification". The essence is an accessory for a mobile device, comprising: a housing, defining a fastening surface, which is configured for mechanical engagement with a mobile device; a connection sensor, containing a removable connector and configured to indicate a loss of connection, when the removable connector is at least partially removed by pulling an attached cable or by using a slot for a nail in the removable connector; and an alarm device, located in the housing and configured to activate in response to the connection sensor indicating a loss of connection, wherein the activation of the alarm device causes an audible signal emitted by the accessory for the mobile device, and the execution of a software application on the mobile device. An accessory for a mobile device, in which the user activation mechanism is configured to at least partially detach from the housing, when the user input mechanism exceeds a predetermined distance from the housing. An accessory for a mobile device, in which the attached cable has a predetermined length, configured for mechanical connection to a removable connector and configured to mechanically open the removable connector, at least partially, when the distance between the user activation mechanism and the removable connector exceeds the predetermined length. The accessory for a mobile device, further comprising a wearable component, having a wireless transmitter configured to transmit a wireless communication signal, and a connection sensor, further comprising a wireless receiver configured to receive a wireless communication signal with a received signal level that corresponds to the distance between the wireless transmitter and the housing, and detecting the separation of the wearable component from the housing based on a comparison of the received signal level with a predetermined signal level, defining a predetermined separation distance.

The disadvantages of the prototype are:

– the risk of loss of functionality due to the need to charge the receiving device, thereby adding additional responsibilities to the user, especially if the accessory requires frequent charging. If the user forgets to charge the accessory, its functionality may be completely lost at the crucial moment;

– insufficient functionality due to the fact that the activation device can only transmit an alarm signal without any information – there is no possibility to transmit or receive information without direct access to intermediate equipment;

- a short transmission range, for example, the transmission range of Bluetooth wireless technology is 100 meters, as well as the inability to function as a calling device, due to the fact that the principle of activating an accessory for a mobile device is based on measuring the distance between the activation device and the accessory.

The technical problem solved by the present invention and its technical result are:

1 – increased functionality due to the fact that the transmitting and receiving device connected to the intermediate equipment does not require regular recharging, since its power is provided directly from the power supply of the intermediate equipment;

Below are examples of using the claimed system in the claimed manner.

Example 1. Use of the claimed system according to the claimed method according to the first option.

Step 1. The software was developed as a mobile app for an Android phone and a program for a Windows PC. The phone and PC were selected as intermediate hardware.

Step 2.

When connected to the phone, the housing is attached to the rear panel. A second micro-USB port is also installed to enable charging the phone and data transfer via USB without disconnecting the receiver unit. The housing houses a second nRF24L01 transceiver, as well as an Stm32 microcontroller serving as the USB hardware interface.

Step 4. The first transceiver unit's housing was attached to the wrist using a watch strap. A TS-1252 pushbutton switch was used as the button, and an electret microphone was used as the microphone. An MTR-VIBRATING was used as the vibration motor. Two SR616SW watch batteries were used as the power source, and an nRF24L01 was used as the transceiver. An Stm32 microcontroller was selected as the microprocessor for digitizing the microphone signal and compressing the data.

Step 5. To check the device’s functionality, a series of tests were carried out.

1st test trial

The following method was used to study the maximum communication range: a transceiver connected to a telephone or computer remained in a fixed position, while a mobile first transceiver, attached to the user's wrist, moved. The user then pressed a button and recorded a voice message containing keywords. Software on the intermediate hardware processed the message and, if the keywords were present, sent a response. The user received a vibration from a vibration motor as a response, indicating that the message had been received and processed correctly.

As a result, it was experimentally established that the first mobile transceiver ensures stable transmission and reception of data in open spaces within a radius of up to 800 meters and indoors within a radius of up to 200 meters (compared to 100 m for the prototype), which confirms the achievement of the stated technical result.

2nd test trial

The second series of experiments involved testing keyword processing in received voice messages. For this purpose, emergency numbers and recipients were stored in the contact list under a second phone number, such as "police," "ambulance," "daughter," and so on.

Two phones were placed within direct line of sight. The first phone was connected to a transmitter/receiver, and the mobile transmitter/receiver was attached to the user's wrist.

The user then pressed a button and recorded voice messages on the device, containing keywords such as "call," the name of the emergency service, and the nature of the incident. For example:

- to call the police during a robbery, for example, use the keywords: “call,” “police,” and “robbery” in any order, provided that the contact list contains the contact “police” with the required number,

- to call an ambulance during a heart attack, use, for example, the keywords: “call,” “ambulance,” and “heart attack,” in any order, provided that the ambulance contact with the required number is recorded in the contact list,

To notify the desired recipient, use keywords such as "call," "contact name," and "the keyword you want to convey." Then record a voice message.

The first phone then sends an SMS to the second phone, as all emergency numbers have been saved to its contact list. The user receives the SMS on the second phone and sees the text containing information about the person, their exact location, and the nature of the incident.

This experiment confirmed the possibility of transmitting the full volume of necessary information to the addressee using only three keywords, which confirms the achievement of the stated technical result.

3rd test trial

The next stage of testing examined the ability to control the computer via a data transmission system. A transceiver was connected to the computer, and the user sent a voice message via a mobile transceiver attached to the wrist. The message contained the recipient's email address and the text of the message. After processing the command, the system initiated an email, which was delivered to the recipient's inbox, confirming the achievement of the stated technical result.

Moreover, the transceiver device connected to the intermediate equipment did not require periodic recharging, since it was powered directly from the specified intermediate equipment with its own power source, which confirms the achievement of the stated technical result.

Example 2. Use of the claimed system according to the claimed method according to the second option.

Step 1. The software was developed as a mobile app for an Android phone and a program for a Windows PC. The phone and PC were selected as intermediate devices.

Step 2. The following settings are configured in the mobile app: exiting low-power mode via USB, access to the phone's contact list and the recipient's number in case the heart rate value is outside the acceptable range, access to geolocation, and the phone's speaker. The computer app stores the recipient's name in their email address, as well as access to speaker controls.

Step 3. The transceiver unit housing on the intermediate equipment is designed as a miniature adapter, where the hardware interface is connected to the phone via a micro-USB port or to the computer via a USB port. When connecting to the phone, the housing is attached to the rear panel. A second micro-USB port is also installed to enable charging the phone and data transfer via USB without disconnecting the receiver unit. The housing houses a second nRF24L01 transceiver, as well as an Stm32 microcontroller serving as the USB hardware interface.

Step 4. The first transceiver unit's housing was attached to the wrist using a watch strap. A TS-1252 pushbutton switch was used as the button, and an electret microphone was used as the microphone. An MTR-VIBRATING was used as the vibration motor, and a MAX30102 heart rate sensor. Two SR616SW watch batteries were used as the power source, and an nRF24L01 was used as the transceiver. An Stm32 microcontroller was selected as the microprocessor for digitizing the microphone signal and for continuously processing signals from the heart rate sensor.

Step 5. To check the device’s functionality, a series of tests were carried out.

1–3 test trials were conducted similarly to Example 1. The results obtained were similar to the results in Example 1, confirming the achievement of the declared technical result.

4th test run. Checking the user's heart rate data transmission capability.

The user attached a wristband-style transmitter and receiver to their wrist. They then pressed a button and spoke the keyword "pulse," after which the microcontroller sent a signal to the intermediate equipment via transceivers. Based on the received voice message, software on the phone generated a response message and transmitted it to the wrist-mounted transmitter and receiver. Upon receiving this message, the device's microcontroller initiated continuous processing of data from the heart rate sensor. To verify the accuracy of the heart rate measurements, the user compared the sensor readings with the MT-01 MediTech pulse oximeter.

Next, to test the ability to detect critical values, the user removed the bracelet while the microcontroller was running, simulating the absence of a pulse. When the pulse was absent, the transceiver device in the bracelet activated the vibration motor and sent signals to the transceiver device in the intermediate equipment. The intermediate equipment received the message and forwarded the information to the recipient previously selected by the user.

In an additional experiment, the user attached a transceiver to their wrist. They then pressed a button, said the word "pulse," and performed intense physical exercise. Due to a sharp increase in heart rate, the microcontroller detected unsafe values, activated a vibration motor, and sent signals to the first transceiver. The transceiver received the signal and sent the information to intermediate equipment. Software on the phone then sent a message to the selected recipient.

If the user wanted to disable the heart rate detection function, they pressed a button and said "stop." The microcontroller transmitted the voice message to the transceiver, where intermediate hardware, using software, processed the message and sent it back to the transceiver on the wrist. Once the signal was received, the microcontroller stopped processing the heart rate sensor data, and powered it off.

Thus, the 4th test confirmed the achievement of the declared technical result.

Moreover, the transceiver device connected to the intermediate equipment did not require periodic recharging, since it was powered directly from the said intermediate equipment with its own power source, which confirms the achievement of the stated technical result.

Thus, from the above, it can be concluded that the applicant has solved the identified technical problem and achieved the stated technical result, namely, a radio communication system with access to the global network and a method for its use have been developed, while:

1 – the transmitting and receiving device connected to the intermediate equipment does not require periodic recharging, since it is powered directly from the specified intermediate equipment with its own power source, - see Examples 1, 2;

2 – the user has the ability to inform the selected recipient via a voice command containing a minimum set of keywords, or by transmitting heart rate data - see Examples 1, 2;

3 – the radio transmission range was up to 800 meters in open areas and up to 200 meters indoors, which significantly exceeds the data transmission range compared to existing communication protocols, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless technology, which is 100 meters – see Examples 1, 2.
