Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to wearable devices for emergency evacuation and rescue. Background Art
[0002] Large facilities (e.g., buildings), such as commercial facilities, office buildings, hospitals, etc., may have fire alarm systems that can be triggered during an emergency (e.g., a fire) to warn occupants to evacuate. For example, a fire alarm system may include a fire control panel and multiple fire sensing devices (e.g., smoke detectors) throughout the facility (e.g., on different floors and / or in different rooms of the facility) that can sense a fire occurring in the facility and provide notification of the fire to occupants of the facility via an alarm.
[0003] When a fire or other emergency occurs in a facility, it is important to quickly and safely evacuate the occupants of the facility in an orderly and efficient manner. During many fires, smoke can be the greatest threat to the occupants of the facility and the greatest barrier to effective evacuation. For example, smoke inhalation can pose a serious health threat to the occupants of the facility. In addition, smoke can make it difficult for firefighters or other emergency personnel to quickly and safely locate and rescue occupants who may be trapped or stranded in the facility. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 3C A block diagram of a computing device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] A wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue is described herein. The wearable device may include a memory and a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive a notification of an emergency event occurring in a facility when the wearable device is worn by an occupant of the facility, and in response to receiving the notification of the emergency event occurring in the facility, send the current location of the occupant of the facility and the current health data of the occupant of the facility.
[0010] A wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure can ensure that occupants of a facility (e.g., a building) can be quickly and safely evacuated and rescued in an orderly and efficient manner during a fire or other emergency in the facility. For example, a wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure can quickly alert occupants of a facility of a fire or other emergency, making the occupants aware of the emergency and the need to evacuate the facility.
[0011] In addition, the wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure can make it easier for firefighters and / or other emergency personnel to quickly and safely locate and rescue occupants in a facility that may be trapped or stranded during an emergency, particularly when smoke is present in the facility. In addition, the wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure can alert firefighters and / or other emergency personnel to facility occupants who may have health problems and / or be unconscious (e.g., due to smoke inhalation) during an emergency. Therefore, the wearable device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure can help firefighters and / or other emergency personnel prioritize where to go in a facility (e.g., where they are needed) during an emergency.
[0012] In the following Detailed Description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form part of the present Detailed Description. The drawings show, by way of illustration, the manner in which one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may be practiced.
[0013] These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to practice one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and mechanical, electrical and / or process changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
[0014] It should be understood that the elements shown in the various embodiments herein may be added, exchanged, combined and / or eliminated to provide multiple additional embodiments of the present disclosure. The proportions and relative sizes of the elements provided in the drawings are intended to illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure and should not be limiting.
[0015] The figures herein follow the following numbering convention: one or more first digits correspond to the figure number, and the remaining digits identify the element or component in the figure. Similar elements or components between different figures may be identified by using similar numerals. For example, 102 may refer to Figure 1 Element "02" in , and similar elements may be referenced as Figure 3A 302 in the.
[0016] As used herein, "a" or "a number of" things may refer to one or more such things, and "a plurality" of things may refer to more than one such thing. For example, "a number of components" may refer to one or more components, and "a plurality of components" may refer to more than one component.
[0017] Figure 1 An example of a fire control system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The fire control system 100 may be a fire control system of a facility (e.g., a building), such as a large facility with many floors, such as a commercial facility, an office building, a hospital, etc. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to a particular type of facility.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the fire control system 100 may include a control panel (eg, a fire control panel) 104. The control panel 104 may be, for example, a physical control panel installed in a facility, such as a control box.
[0019] The control panel 104 may be used (e.g., by a user) to monitor and / or control components (e.g., devices) of the fire control system 100. For example, a user may use the control panel 104 to directly control components (for simplicity and to not confuse embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 104 may be used to monitor and / or control components (e.g., devices) of the fire control system 100. Figure 1 In addition, the control panel 104 can receive (e.g., collect) data from the components, such as, for example, real-time operational data. For example, the control panel 104 can receive data directly from the components. Such data can include, for example, the current operating state, operating state, and / or properties of the components. As an additional example, the control panel 104 can receive a signal (e.g., an alarm signal) from the component indicating that an emergency event (e.g., a fire) is occurring in the facility.
[0020] The components monitored and / or controlled by the control panel 104 may be located throughout the facility (e.g., on different floors of the facility) and may be used to detect and / or manage fires occurring in the facility and / or to prevent fires occurring in the facility. For example, such components may include sensors (e.g., smoke detectors) that are capable of sensing a fire occurring in the facility, alarms that are capable of providing fire notifications to occupants of the facility, fans and / or dampers that are capable of performing smoke control operations (e.g., pressurization, purging, exhaust, etc.) during a fire, and / or sprinklers that are capable of providing water to extinguish a fire, among other components.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the fire control system 100 may include a gateway device 106. The gateway device 106 may be used by a user (e.g., a maintenance technician or operator) to perform inspections, maintenance, and / or upgrades, as well as other operations, on components of the fire control system. For example, the gateway device 106 may be connected to a control panel 104 and may communicate with the control panel 104 to receive data from the components of the fire control system collected by the control panel 104. In some embodiments, the gateway device 106 may be permanently installed and / or connected at the facility so that it can continuously transmit (e.g., push) data collected by the control panel 104 to a centralized computing device (e.g., Figure 1 A computing device 112 is shown in FIG. 1 for monitoring components of a fire control system.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the fire control system 100 may include a computing device 112. The computing device 112 may be located remotely from the facility, and in some embodiments, may be part of a centralized management platform. For example, the computing device 112 may be part of a distributed (e.g., cloud) computing environment. In addition, the computing device 112 may be a computing device of a manager of the facility.
[0023] The gateway device 106 can communicate with the computing device 112 via the network 108, such as Figure 1 For example, the gateway device 106 may transmit (eg, continuously send and / or upload) data from components of the fire control system 100 collected by the control panel 104 to the computing device 112 .
[0024] The gateway device 106 may also communicate with the mobile device 110 via the network 108, such as Figure 1 The mobile device 110 may be, for example, a mobile device of a firefighter or other emergency personnel.
[0025] The network 108 may be a network relationship through which the gateway device 106 and the computing device 112 can communicate. Examples of such network relationships may include a distributed computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment), a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a personal area network (PAN), a campus area network (CAN), or a metropolitan area network (MAN), as well as other types of network relationships. For example, the network 108 may include several servers that receive information from and send information to the gateway device 106 and the computing device 112 via a wired or wireless network.
[0026] As used herein, a "network" may provide a communication system that directly or indirectly links two or more computers and / or peripheral devices and allows users to access resources on other computing devices and exchange messages with other users. A network may allow users to share resources on their own systems with other network users and access information on systems located in a central location or systems located in remote locations. For example, a network may connect multiple computing devices together to form a distributed control network (e.g., a cloud).
[0027] A network may provide connectivity to the Internet and / or to the networks of other entities (e.g., organizations, institutions, etc.). Users may interact with network-enabled software applications to make network requests to retrieve files or print on network printers. Applications may also communicate with network management software, which may interact with network hardware to send information between devices on the network.
[0028] Figure 1 1 shows a wearable device 102 for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure. The wearable device 102 can be worn by an occupant of a facility. In some embodiments, the wearable device 102 can be part of a fire control system 100. In some embodiments, the wearable device 102 can be a smart wearable device, such as, for example, a watch (e.g., a smart watch). As additional examples, the wearable device 102 can be a wristband, a necklace, or glasses.
[0029] Wearable device 102 may receive a notification (e.g., an alert) from control panel 104 that an emergency event (such as, for example, a fire) has occurred in the facility. For example, control panel 104 may determine that an emergency event is occurring (e.g., detect an emergency event) based on a signal (e.g., an alarm signal) it receives from one or more of the components of the fire control system that it is monitoring and / or controlling, and transmit a notification of the emergency event to wearable device 102 in response to determining that an emergency event is occurring (e.g., in response to receiving the alarm signal). For example, control panel 104 may communicate with wearable device 102 via Bluetooth or other wireless network (for simplicity and to not obscure embodiments of the present invention, in Figure 1104 may transmit (e.g., send) a notification of the emergency event to the wearable device 102. The control panel 104 may also transmit a notification of the emergency event to the gateway device 106, which in turn may transmit the notification to the computing device 112 and / or the mobile device 110 (e.g., via the network 108).
[0030] In response to receiving notification of an emergency, the wearable device 102 may provide an alert of the emergency to the occupant wearing the wearable device. The wearable device 102 may provide an alert by, for example, flashing its display, vibrating itself, and / or displaying a message about the emergency. The message may include a visual icon and / or text indicating the type of emergency. For example, if the emergency is a fire, the visual icon may be a flame and the text may be "fire alert."
[0031] In response to receiving the notification of the emergency event, the wearable device 102 may determine the current (e.g., real-time) location of the occupants in the facility and send the current location of the occupants in the facility to the gateway device 106. For example, the wearable device 102 may communicate with the gateway device 106 via Bluetooth or other wireless networks (not shown for simplicity and to not confuse the embodiments of the present disclosure). Figure 1 ) sends the current location of the occupant to the gateway device 106. The wearable device 102 can determine the current location of the occupant in the facility using, for example, Bluetooth beacons or a global positioning system (GPS) installed in the facility.
[0032] In response to receiving the notification of the emergency event, the wearable device 102 may determine (e.g., measure) current (e.g., real-time) health data of the occupants of the facility and send the current health data of the occupants of the facility to the gateway device 106. For example, the wearable device 102 may send the current health data of the occupants of the facility to the gateway device 106 simultaneously with the current location of the occupants of the facility. For example, the wearable device 102 may send the current health data of the occupants of the facility to the gateway device 106 via Bluetooth or other wireless networks (not shown for simplicity and to not confuse the embodiments of the present disclosure). Figure 1 ) sends the occupant's current health data to gateway device 106. The occupant's current health data may include and / or indicate, for example, the occupant's heart rate and / or pulse, the occupant's blood oxygen level, and / or whether the occupant is unconscious.
[0033] In response to receiving the current location of the occupants in the facility and the current health data of the occupants of the facility, the gateway device may send the current location of the occupants and the current health data to the mobile device 110 and / or the computing device 112 (e.g., via the network 108). That is, the mobile device 110 and / or the computing device 112 may receive the current location of the occupants in the facility and the current health data of the occupants of the facility from the wearable device 102 via the gateway device 106.
[0034] Although for simplicity in Figure 1 A single wearable device is illustrated in FIG. 1 , but embodiments of the present disclosure may include multiple wearable devices, each of which is similar to Figure 1 106. For example, in a manner similar to wearable device 102, a wearable device similar to wearable device 102 may be worn by each respective resident of a plurality of occupants of a facility and may receive a notification (e.g., an alert) of an emergency event (e.g., a fire) occurring in the facility from control panel 104. In response to receiving the notification of the emergency event, in a manner similar to wearable device 102, each respective wearable device may provide an alert of the emergency event to the occupant wearing the wearable device, determine a current (e.g., real-time) location of the occupants in the facility and health data of the occupants, and send the current location of the occupants in the facility and the health data of the occupants to gateway device 106. In response to receiving the current location of each respective occupant in the facility and the current health data of each respective occupant of the facility from the wearable device, the gateway device may send the current location and current health data of each respective occupant to mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112 (e.g., via network 108).
[0035] The mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112 may display (e.g., on a user interface) the current location of each respective resident in the facility and the current health data of each respective resident of the facility received from the wearable device. For example, the current location of each respective resident in the facility may be displayed (e.g., represented) as a point in a floor plan of the facility displayed on the user interface of the mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112. The color of each respective point displayed in the floor plan may correspond to the current health data of the facility resident represented by the point at the current location of the facility resident. For example, a resident whose current health data is abnormal (e.g., bad) and / or indicates that the resident is unconscious may be represented by a red dot, and a resident whose current health data is normal (e.g., good) and indicates that they are conscious may be represented by a green dot.
[0036] As an additional example, the floor plan may include (e.g., display) multiple areas (e.g., zones) of the facility, and the color of each respective area displayed in the floor plan may correspond to the number (e.g., density) of occupants currently located in the respective area. For example, a zone in which a relatively large number of occupants are currently located may be displayed in red (e.g., highlighted or shaded), a zone in which a relatively small number of occupants are currently located may be displayed in yellow, and a zone in which no occupants are currently located may be displayed in green.
[0037] If the current location of an occupant in the facility and / or the current health status of an occupant in the facility changes during the emergency, the change may be received from a wearable device worn by the occupant, and the mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112 may update the display to indicate (e.g., reflect) the change. For example, if an occupant moves to another area of the facility (e.g., another zone) during the emergency, the point representing the occupant's current location may move to that area in the floor plan in the display. As an additional example, if an occupant becomes unconscious during the emergency, the color of the point representing the occupant in the display may change (e.g., from green to red). As an additional example, if a relatively large number of occupants move to another area of the facility during the emergency, the color of that area in the floor plan in the display may change (e.g., from green or yellow to red).
[0038] In some embodiments, mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112 may determine and display directions to the current location of occupants in the facility. For example, these directions may be displayed (e.g., embedded) in a floor plan and / or may be determined from the current location of the firefighter or other emergency personnel.
[0039] Figure 2 An example of a method for transmitting data from a wearable device (e.g., similar to the method previously described in conjunction with Figure 1 An example of a display 222 of the current location of multiple residents in a facility and the current health data of the multiple residents of the facility received by the wearable device 102 described above. The display 222 may be previously combined with Figure 1 The description is provided on a user interface of the mobile device 110 and / or computing device 112 .
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, display 222 includes a floor plan of the facility. Figure 2 As shown, the floor plan may include (eg, be divided into) a plurality of regions (eg, zones) 224-1, 224-2, 224-3 ... 224-10, 224-11 (collectively referred to herein as regions 224), each of which may correspond to a different area of the facility. Figure 2 In the example shown, a single level (e.g., floor) of a facility is displayed in a plan view, and a user can select a different level (e.g., different floor) to be displayed via a menu or other visual icons in the display (not shown for simplicity and to not confuse the embodiments of the present disclosure). For example, the plan view can be retrieved from a building management system (BMS) associated with the facility.
[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the current location of each respective occupant in the facility may be displayed (e.g., represented) as a different respective point in the floor plan corresponding to the current location of the occupant in the facility. Figure 2 In the example shown, three residents are currently located in area 224-1 of the facility, and these three residents are represented as point 226-1. In addition, one resident is currently located in each of areas 224-2, 222-4, and 226-7 of the facility, and these residents are represented as points 226-2, 226-4, and 226-7, respectively. In addition, two residents are currently located in area 224-5 of the facility, and these two residents are represented as point 226-5. In addition, five residents are currently located in area 224-6 of the facility, and these five residents are represented as point 226-6. In addition, four residents are currently located in area 224-9 of the facility, and these four residents are represented as point 226-9. In addition, two residents are currently located in area 224-10 of the facility, and these two residents are represented as point 226-10. In addition, five occupants are currently located in area 224-11 of the facility, and these five occupants are represented as point 226-11. In addition, no occupants are currently located in areas 224-3 or 224-8, and therefore no points are displayed in these areas. The current location of each respective occupant in the facility can be determined by and received from a wearable device (e.g., wearable device 102) worn by each respective occupant, as previously described herein.
[0042] Although not shown in the figure for the sake of clarity and so as not to obscure the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2 , but the color of each respective area 224 displayed in the plan view may correspond to the number (e.g., density) of occupants currently located in the respective area. Figure 2 In the example shown, a relatively larger number of occupants are currently located in regions 226-6, 226-9, and 226-11 than in other regions, and thus regions 226-6, 226-9, and 226-11 may be displayed in red (e.g., highlighted or shaded). Additionally, a relatively smaller number of occupants (e.g., fewer than regions 226-6, 226-9, and 226-11) are currently located in regions 226-1, 226-2, 226-4, 226-5, 226-7, and 226-10, and thus these regions may be displayed in yellow. Additionally, no occupants are currently located in regions 224-3 or 224-8, and thus these regions may be displayed in green.
[0043] Although not shown in the figure for the sake of clarity and so as not to obscure the embodiments of the present disclosure, Figure 2, but the color of each corresponding point displayed in the plan view may correspond to the current health data of the occupant represented by the point at the current location. For example, if the current health data of one of the occupants currently located in area 224-1 is abnormal (e.g., bad) and / or indicates that the occupant is unconscious, the color of the point 226-1 representing the occupant may be red. In addition, if the current health data of another occupant currently located in area 224 is normal (e.g., good), the color of the point 226-1 representing the occupant may be green. The current health data of each corresponding occupant in the facility may be determined by and may be received from a wearable device (e.g., wearable device 102) worn by each corresponding occupant, as previously described herein.
[0044] If the current location of an occupant in the facility and / or the current health status of an occupant in the facility changes during an emergency event, the change may be received from a wearable device worn by the occupant, and the display 222 may be updated to indicate (e.g., reflect) the change. For example, if one of the occupants currently located in area 224-1 moves to area 224-2, the point 226-1 representing the current location of the occupant may move to area 224-2. As an additional example, if one of the occupants currently located in area 224-1 becomes unconscious, the color of the point 226-1 representing the occupant may change (e.g., from green to red). As an additional example, if all occupants currently located in area 224-1 move to area 224-2, the color of area 224-2 may change (e.g., from yellow to red).
[0045] Figure 3A A block diagram of a wearable device 302 for emergency evacuation and rescue according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3B A block diagram of a mobile device 310 for emergency evacuation and rescue according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3C FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a computing device for emergency evacuation and rescue according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The wearable device 302, the mobile device 310, and the computing device 312 may be, for example, the wearable device 302, the mobile device 310, and the computing device 312, respectively. Figure 1 Wearable device 102 , mobile device 110 , and computing device 112 are depicted.
[0046] like Figure 3A As shown, the wearable device 302 may include a memory 332 and a processor 334. Figure 3B As shown, mobile device 310 may include memory 342 and processor 344. Figure 3C As shown, computing device 312 may include memory 352 and processor 354 .
[0047] The memories 332, 342, and 352 may be any type of storage medium that can be accessed by the processors 334, 344, and 354, respectively, to perform various examples of the present disclosure. For example, each of the memories 332, 342, and 352 may be a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions (e.g., computer program instructions) stored thereon, which instructions can be executed by the processors 334, 344, and 354, respectively, for emergency evacuation and rescue according to the present disclosure.
[0048] The memory 332, 342, and 352 may be a volatile memory or a non-volatile memory. The memory 332, 342, and 352 may also be a removable (e.g., portable) memory or a non-removable (e.g., internal) memory. For example, the memory 332, 342, and 352 may be a random access memory (RAM) (e.g., a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and / or a phase change random access memory (PCRAM)), a read-only memory (ROM) (e.g., an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) and / or a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM)), a flash memory, a laser disc, a digital versatile disc (DVD) or other optical storage device, and / or a magnetic medium such as a cassette, a tape or a disk, as well as other types of memory.
[0049] In addition, although the memory 332, 342, and 352 are illustrated as being located in the wearable device 302, the mobile device 310, and the computing device 312, respectively, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. For example, the memory 332, 342, and / or 352 may also be located within another computing resource (e.g., so that the computer readable instructions can be downloaded via the Internet or another wired or wireless connection).
[0050] like Figure 3A As shown, the wearable device 302 may include a user interface 336. Figure 3B As shown, mobile device 310 may include user interface 346. Figure 3C As shown, computing device 312 may include user interface 356 .
[0051] Users of wearable device 302, mobile device 310, and computing device 312 may interact with those respective devices via user interface 336, user interface 346, and user interface 356, respectively. For example, user interface 336 may provide (e.g., display and / or present) information to a user of wearable device 302 and / or receive information from (e.g., input by) a user of wearable device 302. Additionally, user interface 346 may provide information to a user of mobile device 310 and / or receive information from a user of mobile device 310. Additionally, user interface 356 may provide information to a user of computing device 312 and / or receive information from a user of computing device 312.
[0052] For example, in some embodiments, user interface 336, user interface 346, and / or user interface 356 can be a graphical user interface (GUI) that can provide information to and / or receive information from users of wearable device 302, mobile device 310, and computing device 312, respectively. For example, user interface 336 can provide an alert of an emergency event to a user wearing a wearable device (e.g., a facility resident), as previously described herein. In addition, user interface 346 and / or 356 can display the current location of each corresponding resident in the facility received from the wearable device worn by the resident and the current health data of each corresponding resident of the facility, as previously described herein. The display can each be, for example, a touch screen (e.g., the GUI can include touch screen functionality).
[0053] Each of the user interfaces 336, 346, and 356 can be localized into any language. For example, the user interfaces 336, 346, and 356 can each display information in any language, such as English, Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, etc.
[0054] Although specific implementations have been illustrated and described herein, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that any arrangement calculated to achieve the same technique may be substituted for the specific implementations shown. This disclosure is intended to cover any and all modifications or variations of various implementations of the present disclosure.
[0055] It should be understood that the above description is given in an illustrative rather than limiting manner.By reading the above description, combinations of the above embodiments, as well as other embodiments not specifically described herein, will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
