Abstract

The invention is a device that functions as a lighting, FM radio, and sound system in normal operating mode, and switches to a survival detection and disaster information communication mode when a disaster occurs. The device generates a survival confidence value by evaluating time-related data from at least two sensors measuring different physical quantities (motion, carbon dioxide, non-contact temperature / thermal, and sound) together in a local artificial intelligence processing unit. The power management unit uses the survival confidence value and the remaining battery level to adjust at least two of the sensor sampling frequency, wireless notification repeat interval, and emergency lighting power. In disaster mode, media loads are limited; the FM receiver is directed to receive external news / emergency broadcasts, and independently, the LoRa or LoRaWAN communication module transmits the disaster information packet containing the survival confidence value to the external receiver.This reduces false alarms caused by a single sensor and allows limited battery power to be managed according to the probability of survival.

Detailed description of the invention 9.1. Normal operation and standby mode When the device is connected to the mains power, the lighting unit (2), the FM radio receiver (6) and the audio output unit (7) operates according to the commands given via the user interface (13). External power output (18), 5 Depending on the application, it can power a modem, telephone, or other low-voltage device. The energy storage unit (4) is charged. The disaster detection unit (9) is in low power monitoring mode. It is kept in place. Thus, the disaster relief device is also a standalone piece of equipment that needs to be searched for or charged. It ceases to be a standalone item and remains readily available for everyday use. 9.2. Establishing disaster conditions 10 The disaster detection unit (9) measures the amplitude, duration, frequency and repetition of acceleration on one or more axes. It measures at least one of its features. The control unit (8) stores the measured value in the memory unit (14). It is compared with disaster criteria. Meeting the criteria establishes the disaster work condition. Network interruption, activation of the emergency assistance entry element (16) or receipt of an external disaster warning additional It can be used as a validator or an independent trigger. 15 9.3. Coordinated disaster mode transition When disaster working conditions occur, the control unit (8) switches status to the energy management unit (15). The command is given. The energy management unit shuts down normal media functions and external power output or limit the energy of the energy storage unit to the emergency lighting circuit (5), sensor group (10), local AI processing unit (19) and wireless communication module (11) are given priority. It allocates these processes. Instead of these being independent user commands, they are carried out under the same disaster situation. It is carried out as a result of the transition. The FM radio receiver (6) is directed to the news / emergency broadcast frequency stored in the memory unit (14). If there is insufficient broadcast level at the frequency, the specified frequency range is scanned. FM path is external. This enables the device to receive information.

Step-by-step sensor operation At the start of disaster mode, all sensors in the sensor group undergo a brief initial sampling. It can do so. Then, depending on the energy level and the detection result, the motion sensor (10a) or a low-power sensor such as a microphone / sound sensor (10d) triggers task 30 It is operated in a cyclical manner. If the trigger sensor produces data above the threshold, the carbon dioxide sensor is activated. (10b), non-contact temperature / thermal sensor (10c) and other sensors with higher sampling rates. He is awakened frequently. Motion sensor (10a) changes that can be compatible with human movement; carbon dioxide sensor (10b) the level or increase trend in a specific time window; contactless temperature / thermal sensor 35 (10c) temperature zone compatible with the human body; microphone / voice sensor (10d) speech, hitting, It measures the call or similar acoustic pattern. 9.5. Time-dependent sensor fusion and viability confidence value Sensor data, along with time information, is transmitted to the local AI processing unit (19). Process 5 The unit is based on data from at least two different types of sensors within the same or overlapping time windows. It evaluates the data together. Thus, not only the increase in ambient temperature but also the random object carbon dioxide exchange not caused by movement, mechanical noise or human respiration. The ability of singular events to constitute a declaration of vitality is limited. Local AI processing unit (19); feature extraction from sensors, features in time 10 The device performs matching, classification, and confidence value generation processes. Model memory (20) stores the trained model parameters. Internet, cloud server or Inference is made without a cellular connection. For example, observing thermal change synchronized with movement within the same time window helps. Detection of motion tracking sound or increase in carbon dioxide from thermal and sound data at least 15 Verification with at least one sensor increases the reliability confidence value. Single-sensor, discontinuous, or interconnected. Results that are out of sync with time produce a lower confidence value. The confidence value is new. It is updated as sensor data comes in. 9.6. Energy management based on vitality confidence level The energy management unit (15) evaluates the battery level together with the vitality confidence value. 20 Sensor sampling and LoRa notification frequency are increased at high liveness confidence levels; emergency lighting. It is maintained at a level that will ensure recovery visibility. For verification at low liveness confidence. Certain sensors are activated intermittently. Low power consumption is activated when the battery level approaches the lower limit. Sensors other than the trigger sensor are put to sleep, and the notification interval is extended. A new When a trigger occurs, the sensors, local AI processing unit, and communication module are temporarily shut down for 25 seconds. He is awakened again. Thanks to this system, the liveness confidence value is not just an abstract result displayed on the screen; the physical operation of the device such as sensor sampling, data transmission, lighting and energy allocation It directly modifies its parameters. 9.7. Creation and transmission of disaster information packages 30 The control unit (8) retrieves the device ID and installation location from the location / installation ID unit (17) or It receives location information. The disaster information package includes disaster triggering information, sensors used, and sensor results. vital sign value, battery level, time information, emergency access control element status, and request.

Packet antenna (12) 35 It is sent through a gateway device, an external receiver, or a neighboring device. No acknowledgment of receipt is received. 6 In this case, the repetition interval is adjusted according to the vitality confidence level and battery level. Thus High-security notifications are given increased priority, while unnecessary repetition is reduced in low-power situations. 9.8. Backup operation and self-checking If the local AI processing unit fails or the model output cannot be generated, 5 control unit (8), fixed thresholds stored in memory unit (14) and verification with at least two sensors It produces a basic disaster information package with its rules. It is launched via the user interface (13). In the self-check process, disaster triggering is simulated, and emergency lighting, selected sensors, and battery are activated. The level and communication module can be tested. 9.9. Example application 10 The device is used as a floor lamp in a house. Normally, it performs both lighting and radio functions. It provides, keeps its battery charged, and monitors acceleration at low power. Meeting earthquake criteria and... It switches to disaster mode upon a power outage. Media and external power loads are restricted; emergency mode is activated. Lighting, sensors, local AI, and the LoRa module are prioritized. Motion and sound.
