In the following, in order to clarify the operation of the automatic assistance device 1 in the present invention and the interaction between the automatic assistance device 1 and the remote device, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, wherein FIG. 4 is a diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. A functional block diagram of the wearable device 2 having the automatic assistance device 1. The automatic help device 1 includes a motion detector group 10, a processor 20, a communicator 30, and a warning device 40. The processor 20 is electrically connected to the motion detector group 10, the communication device 30, and the alarm 40.

The motion detector group 10 is configured to detect at least one motion state of the automatic assistance device 1 and generate corresponding state information accordingly. In one or more embodiments, the motion detector group 10 can include, for example, a gravity sensor (or G sensor) 110, a level 120, other detectors that can detect the motion state of the object, or any In combination, the present invention does not limit the implementation of motion detector group 10.

The processor 20 is configured to determine whether the status information obtained by the motion detector group 10 detects an alert condition. When the processor 20 determines that the status information does not meet the alert condition, it indicates that the motion of the automatic request device 1 may be only a motion that does not need to be notified. In other words, the user may only be performing general sports or activities, such as walking or riding. The car passes through uneven road sections, and the locomotive wheels pass through small holes or protrusions. Conversely, when the processor 20 determines that the status information meets the alert condition, it indicates that the automatic request device 1 may undergo strenuous exercise to the extent that the notification needs to be actively issued. In other words, the user may have suffered more than a certain degree. The impact or impact or impact causes the automatic request device 1 to undergo strenuous exercise. For example, an impact or collision or impact may be caused by a user encountering a car crash, a car crash, falling rocks, falling valleys, or fainting of the body, causing the user's body to produce some degree of instantness. Or a period of exercise, vibration and other factors. At this point, processor 20 generates an emergency notification and enables communicator 30 for automatic assistance. Further, for different implementations of the motion detector group 10, the processor 20 is pre-configured with corresponding alert conditions. The following is a description of the steps of the motion detector group 10 for different implementations to determine whether the state information obtained by the motion detector group 10 is in compliance with a warning condition. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment in which the gravity sensor 110 is used as the motion detector group 10, the above warning condition means that a first detection result of the gravity sensor 110 exceeds a corresponding first warning value. A gravity sensor (g-sensor) 110, also known as a linear accelerometer, can measure these changes by measuring some small physical quantity changes, such as capacitance, etc., and then converting them by a formula. The acceleration information of the object to be tested (ie, the automatic aid device 1) can be obtained. By comparing the obtained acceleration value (ie, the first detection result) with the acceleration threshold value (ie, the first warning value) by the gravity sensor 110, the processor 20 determines whether the active notification is required according to the comparison result. In practice, when the processor 20 determines that the acceleration value detected by the gravity sensor 110 is greater than the corresponding acceleration threshold, it indicates that the user may be hit by a car accident, a falling rock, a falling valley, a body discomfort, and the like. The severe impact and impact, so that the user may face the need for assistance and rescue, so the processor 20 will decide to actively inform the demand.

In an embodiment in which the level 120 is used as the motion detector group 10, the above warning condition means that a second detection result of the level 120 exceeds a corresponding second warning value, and may even last for a preset time. The level 120 herein may be selected from a MEMS Inclinometer, although the invention does not limit the selection of the level 120. When the level is tilted due to the tilt of the object to be tested (ie, the automatic help device 1), the level 120 can obtain the object to be tested by measuring some small physical quantity changes, such as a change in the capacitance value, a voltage change of the induction coil, and the like (ie, automatic The aid device 1) tilt information with respect to the horizontal plane. By comparing the tilt angle (ie, the second detection result) obtained by the level meter 120 with a tilt angle threshold value (ie, the second guard value), and even more determining whether the comparison result continues for a preset time, the processor 20 Based on the results of the comparison, it is decided whether active notification is required. The preset time may be, for example, 1 to 2 minutes, but the invention is not limited thereto. In practice, when the processor 20 determines that the tilt angle detected by the level 120 is greater than the corresponding tilt angle threshold and reaches a preset time (for example, 1 to 2 minutes), the user may fall to the ground and cannot When sitting up or standing up, the user may be faced with the need for assistance and assistance from others, so the processor 20 will decide to actively inform the request. When the level 120 detects that the obtained tilt angle is greater than the tilt angle threshold for a preset time (for example, 1 to 2 minutes), it indicates that the user may fall to the ground, but can still sit or stand up by himself. At this time, the user may not need assistance or assistance from others, so the processor 20 may decide that no active notification is required. However, in other embodiments, the determining step as to whether the condition exceeding the second alert value continues for a predetermined time may be omitted.

In an embodiment in which the gravity sensor 110 and the level 120 are used as the motion detector group 10, the above warning condition means that a first detection result of the gravity sensor 110 exceeds a corresponding first warning value and the level 120 The second detection result continues for a preset time exceeding a corresponding second warning value. In an example, the use of the gravity sensor 110 can be considered as a first re-judgment mechanism that requires active notification, and the use of the level 120 can be considered as a second re-judgment mechanism that requires active notification. In other words, when the processor 20 determines that the first detection result of the gravity sensor 110 exceeds the first warning value, the processor 20 still needs to further determine whether the second detection result of the level 120 exceeds the second warning value; When the processor 20 determines that the second detection result of the level 120 exceeds the second warning value, the processor 20 will actively report. In this embodiment, the operation of the gravity sensor 110 and the level 120 and the related judgment mechanism may refer to the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

The present invention does not limit the implementation of the alerter 40.

Since the alerter 40 can prompt the user where the exact location is currently, the facilitator can provide appropriate assistance or assistance to find the user in need more quickly and accurately. In addition, since the alerter 40 is enabled when the helper arrives at the location of the user's location, the power consumption of the automatic helper device 1 can be reduced, thereby providing the facilitator with the opportunity to keep in touch with the user until assistance is provided. The person arrives at the exact location of the user or gives the alerter 40 a chance to continue providing the prompt until the helper arrives at the exact location of the user.
