Benefits of technology

This patent is about a light source for a diving mask that can communicate with other underwater explorers easily. The light source emits light signals in multiple directions, making it simple to communicate and receive information. This method is ideal for underwater communication and allows for long distances of communication. The technical effect is a more efficient and effective way to communicate while diving.

Problems solved by technology

However, such systems are often very bulky, heavy and energy intensive, making their use complex for an underwater explorer.

Embodiment Construction

[0061]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention according to its first aspect relates to a diving mask 10 comprising (i) a peripheral frame 110 provided with a visor 130, (ii) a flexible skirt 120 fixed to the peripheral frame 110, said flexible skirt 120 forming, with the peripheral frame 110 and the visor 130, at least one chamber for the vision of a user of said diving mask 10, called the viewing chamber 170, (iii) a telecommunications system 190 comprising a light communication module 150 making it possible to transmit and / or send a digital signal, said light communication module 150 comprising an electronic control card 156 and a light source 151 configured to emit a light signal modulated according to the digital signal encoded by said electronic control card 156. The invention differs from the known prior art in that the light source 151 is configured to emit light signals in a plurality of communication directions around the diving mask 10.

[0062]According to a first pos...

Abstract

The invention relates to a diving mask (10) comprising a telecommunication system (190) configured to allow the establishment of a one-way or two-way light communication and, more specifically, using a Li-Fi-type communication protocol. For this purpose, the telecommunication system (190) comprises a light communication module (150) comprising a light source (151) configured to emit light signals in a plurality of directions around the diving mask (10), and an electronic control card (156) in order to control the light source (151) and modulate the amplitude of the light signal according to an electronic signal encoded by said electronic control card (156). The invention also relates to an underwater communication method (200).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The technical context of the present invention is that of scuba diving devices and, in particular, underwater diving masks. More particularly, the invention relates to a diving mask for underwater explorers, in particular when snorkeling wearing fins, a mask and a snorkel, or when scuba diving. Another particularly advantageous use of the present invention is that of exploration in deep waters as well as underwater mining.STATE OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Many devices that allow breathing underwater are known in the state of the art. According to a first known variant, such devices comprise a hookah-like tube, whose first end is in fluid communication with the mouth of the underwater explorer and whose second end is located in the open air in order to allow the underwater explorer to breathe in fresh air. This first known variant is particularly suited to the practice of diving just below the surface of the water, such as, for example, when practicing snorkeling.[0003...
