Abstract

OCR 07AP This invention relates to a system for detecting and alerting users to unconsciousness in restrooms. It consists of: Magnetic sensors for doors and infrared radiation sensors. The PIR motion sensor detects an object moving through a designated area, specifically a restroom user. It uses a microcontroller to support the signal transmission path for detecting and alerting about unconsciousness. Users of the restroom transmit information about the system's operating status via wireless communication (Wi-Fi) and the system. A 4G low-power network (4G NB-IOT) connects to a computer with dedicated software for data processing and... The system collects data into a database and sends audible alerts to encourage responses and verification. In the event that a user in a restroom experiences a syncopal attack or sudden loss of consciousness, there is a module available. Play MP3 audio files from an SD card connected to the speaker to send audible notifications to the user. The bathroom in the installation area has a power supply to the microcontroller board along with a lithium battery board. The Li-ion battery is charged using a charger (220VAC to 5VDC adapter) connected to the USB-C port. There is also a reset button, which works in conjunction with the indicator light.

Claims

OCR 07AP 1. The system for detecting and alerting users to unconsciousness in the restroom consists of an electronic circuit. It is provided with electrical equipment that is assembled and connected together, consisting of a control board (Microcontroller) (1) It is the main control component, electrically connecting to sensors and other devices. With regard to wireless communication (Wi-Fi) and 4G low-power network systems (4G NB-IOT), where: The electronic circuit also includes an MP3 audio playback module (4) which is connected to An SD-Card (4.1) is connected to the speaker (9) to send an alert sound to the user of the toilet in the installation area. There is a power supply to the control board (Microcontroller) (1) along with charging the backup battery using the device. The power charger (Adapter 220VAC to 5VDC) is connected to the USB-C port (6), where the charger The backup battery consists of a lithium-ion (Li-lon) battery board (5) which is connected to USB-C port (6) has a reset button (7) which works in conjunction with the power indicator light. (8) which is installed between the Door Magnetic Sensor (2) and the Detection Sensor. Infrared radiation from objects (PIR Motion Sensor) (3) by electrically connecting to the control board. (Microcontroller) (1) Its unique characteristic is that the detection device (Sensor) consists of a magnetic sensor for attaching to the door. Magnetic Sensor) (2) detects the opening and closing of the door by the user of the restroom through the mechanism for opening and closing the restroom door, which Door Magnetic Sensor (2) works in conjunction with the radiation wave detection sensor. Infrared from objects (PIR Motion Sensor) (3) Infrared radiation detection sensor from objects (PIR Motion Sensor) (3) is a pyro sensor. A pyroelectric infrared sensor detects human movement using a sensing method. Infrared radiation is emitted from bathroom users who move past the sensor within its detection radius. The movement is at an angle of 110 degrees along the vertical axis (Y-axis) and 90 degrees along the horizontal axis (X-axis). Where the control board (Microcontroller) (1) supports the detection and alarm signal transmission path. The unconsciousness of restroom users and the transmission of system status information are transmitted via wireless communication (Wi-Fi). And the 4G NB-IOT low-power network system sends messages every 30 seconds to the responsible person's computer. Regarding restroom security, a computer is provided for the person responsible for restroom security. A specialized program for processing data, storing it in a database, and sending alerts when an incident occurs to restroom users. A synopal attack, or sudden loss of consciousness, can occur due to an accident in the bathroom.
