[0002] Portable electronic devices such as mobile phones have become indispensable communication tools in people's daily lives, and it has become a common phenomenon for people to carry electronic devices with them. At present, common self - defense devices on the market are usually independent self - defense weapons, which need to be carried and charged separately. Such independent self - defense weapons not only increase the burden of carrying around, but also are easily discovered in advance. At the same time, due to the need for separate charging, users often cannot play a role at critical moments because they forget to charge.

[0032] The following will describe in more detail a personal defense electric shock device and a personal defense electric shock method of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present invention described herein while still achieving the advantageous effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as a broad guidance for those skilled in the art and not as a limitation on the present invention.

[0033] In the following paragraphs, the present invention will be described more specifically by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. According to the following description, the advantages and features of the present invention will be clearer. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, only for the purpose of conveniently and clearly assisting in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0034] As Figure 1 - Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a convenient and practical personal defense electric shock device for use in conjunction with an electronic device, including a housing 1, a boost circuit module, and a control module.

[0035] Specifically, a plurality of discharge units are provided on the housing 1; the boost circuit module is connected to the discharge units and the electronic device, and is used to raise the power supply (i.e., battery) voltage of the electronic device to the personal defense voltage and release it by the plurality of discharge units; the control module is connected to the electronic device and the boost circuit module, and is used to control the working state of the discharge units.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, with continued reference to Figure 2 As shown, the boost circuit module is disposed within the housing 1. Specifically, the boost circuit module may employ a small boost transformer circuit to raise the battery voltage of the electronic device to a self - defense voltage. The size of the boost circuit module can be optimized according to the thickness of the housing 1. For example, a planar boost circuit design with a specified thickness can be adopted.

[0037] In other alternative embodiments, the boost circuit module may also be attached to the inner or outer surface of the housing 1. For example, the boost circuit module can be fabricated using flexible printed circuit (FPC) technology, and the overall thickness can be controlled within a specified range. For example, it is bonded to the inner or outer surface of the housing 1 through an electrically conductive adhesive layer, thereby making the overall structure more compact.

[0038] In a specific example, the self - defense voltage can be set according to actual requirements. For example, it can be 20KV.

[0039] In a specific example, the housing 1 can be made of, for example, ABS engineering plastic, and its inner surface is coated with an insulating layer. The material of the housing 1 can be set according to actual requirements, and other embodiments besides this embodiment are also included.

[0040] In this embodiment, the discharge unit includes a first electric shock head 2 and a second electric shock head 3. Specifically, the first electric shock head 2 is disposed at one end of the housing 1 for active attack; the second electric shock head 3 is disposed on both sides of the housing 1 for attack during passive defense. Among them, the second electric shock heads 3 can be symmetrically disposed on both sides of the housing 1. It should be noted that when an active attack is carried out, the mechanism of passive defense cannot be triggered.

[0041] In a specific example, the first electric shock head 2 can be convex, facilitating quick contact by the user during active self - defense. The second electric shock head 3 is flush with the surface of the housing 1, effectively preventing accidental touch during passive defense. Those skilled in the art will know that the specific installation positions and quantities of the first electric shock head 2 and the second electric shock head 3 can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements.

[0042] In one embodiment, the control module includes: an electronic switch, a control unit, and a remote trigger unit. Specifically, the electronic switch is connected to the control unit, the boost circuit module, and the electronic device; the control unit receives control instructions from the electronic device or the remote trigger unit through a Bluetooth module to control the working state of the corresponding discharge unit.

[0043] As is known to those skilled in the art, the electronic switch can adopt a MOSFET switch circuit to control the working state of the boost circuit module. The control unit can adopt a low-power microcontroller with a built-in Bluetooth 4.0 communication module to receive control instructions and output control signals. The control unit can also select other wireless communication methods such as WiFi and ZigBee. Different communication methods have different advantages: the Bluetooth module has low power consumption but a short communication distance, the WiFi communication distance is far but the power consumption is high, and ZigBee is more balanced in terms of power consumption and communication distance.

[0044] In one embodiment, the electronic device is connected to the electronic switch through a power supply interface and is wirelessly connected to the control unit. When the electronic device is in the user control state, it sends a first control instruction to the control unit to trigger the first electric shock head 2 to work.

[0045] In one embodiment, the remote trigger unit is wirelessly connected to the control unit. When the electronic device is in a non-user control state, it sends a second control instruction to the control unit to trigger the second electric shock head 3 to work.

[0046] In addition, the control module further includes a main controller connected to the electronic device and the remote trigger unit; the main controller is used to detect a preset trigger condition and send a corresponding control instruction to the control unit. Among them, the controller can be set on the electronic device or can be set in the housing 1 according to actual needs. The main controller is used to send a corresponding control instruction to the control unit through the power supply interface when detecting a preset trigger condition.

[0047] In addition, this embodiment also provides a self-defense electric shock method, using the self-defense electric shock device as described above, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] Select to start the active attack mode or the passive defense mode according to the preset trigger condition.

[0049] In one embodiment, the preset trigger conditions include: when it is detected that the electronic device is in the user control state, select to start the active attack mode; when it is detected that the electronic device is in the non-user control state, select to start the passive defense mode.

[0050] In this embodiment, the active attack mode includes: sending a first control instruction to the control unit through the electronic device, and the control unit controls the boost circuit module to raise the power supply voltage of the electronic device to the self-defense voltage according to the first control instruction and trigger the first electric shock head 2 to work.

[0051] In a specific example, in the active attack mode, the user sends a control instruction through a dedicated application on the electronic device, and after receiving the control instruction, the control unit controls the electronic switch to be turned on, so that the boost circuit module increases the power supply voltage of the electronic device and outputs it to the first electric shock head 2. It can be known to those skilled in the art that the dedicated application can be set with a variety of triggering methods, such as click triggering, voice triggering, gesture triggering, etc., to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0052] Regarding the specific implementation of different triggering methods of the self-defense electric shock device, for example, the following triggering methods can be referred to:

[0053] In the click trigger mode, the application is provided with an emergency button on the screen of the electronic device. The emergency button can be set to explicit or implicit modes. In explicit mode, the emergency button appears as a striking red round button; in implicit mode, the emergency button is disguised as an ordinary application icon, such as a calculator or weather icon, to improve concealment. When the user clicks the emergency button, the application immediately sends a trigger instruction to the control unit. Those skilled in the art will know that the specific shape, color and position of the emergency button can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0054] In the voice trigger mode, the application continuously monitors the preset trigger instruction through the microphone of the electronic device. The trigger instruction can be a specific word for help, such as "help" or "help", or a pre-recorded specific sound, such as clapping, screaming, etc. The application uses a voice recognition algorithm to analyze the collected sound signals in real time, and when the preset trigger instruction is recognized, it immediately sends the trigger instruction to the control unit. It is known to those skilled in the art that the voice recognition algorithm can adopt a variety of existing solutions, such as voice recognition based on deep learning, voiceprint recognition based on feature matching, etc.

[0055] In the gesture trigger mode, the application recognizes a preset trigger gesture through the gyroscope and acceleration sensor of the electronic device. The trigger gesture includes:

[0056] 1. Rapid shaking: Continuous violent shaking is detected within a preset time (such as 2 seconds);

[0057] 2. Tilt trigger: detects that the device tilt angle exceeds the preset threshold (such as 45 degrees) and lasts for a preset time (such as 3 seconds);

[0058] 3. Tap mode: A specific tapping rhythm is detected, such as three consecutive fast taps followed by two slow taps.

[0059] The application also provides a combined trigger method, where multiple trigger conditions need to be met simultaneously to activate the self-defense function. For example, it can be set to require holding down the volume key and speaking the trigger word at the same time, or making a specific gesture and making a specific sound simultaneously, etc. This combined trigger method effectively reduces the probability of accidental triggering.

[0060] After the trigger instruction is issued, the application can also have the following functions:

[0061] 1. Automatic recording: Start the camera and recording functions of the electronic device to record the on-site situation;

[0062] 2. Location sharing: Obtain the current GPS location information and send it to a preset emergency contact;

[0063] 3. Automatic alarm: Send a distress message to a preset alarm phone number or make a call to the alarm phone.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will know that the above trigger methods can be combined or adjusted according to the actual usage scenario, and the specific parameters of each trigger method (such as trigger threshold, duration, etc.) can be personalized according to the user's habits.

[0065] In this embodiment, the passive defense mode includes: sending a second control instruction to the control unit through a remote trigger unit, and the control module unit controls the boost circuit module to raise the power supply voltage of the electronic device to the self-defense voltage according to the second control instruction, and triggers the second electric shock head 3 to work.

[0066] In a specific example, in the passive defense mode, the user can send a control instruction through the remote trigger unit. The remote trigger unit can adopt portable forms such as an independent button, a bracelet, a keychain, etc., and is built with a wireless communication module and a trigger button. When the control unit receives the control instruction, it controls the electronic switch to conduct, so that the boost circuit module raises the power supply voltage and outputs it to the second electric shock head 3. Those skilled in the art will know that the trigger distance of the remote trigger unit can be adjusted by selecting different wireless communication schemes, for example, it can reach an effective control range of 10 - 100 meters.

[0067] For the remote trigger unit, this embodiment can also provide the following trigger methods:

[0068] 1. Single-key trigger: Send a trigger instruction by long-pressing the trigger button for a preset time (such as 3 seconds);

[0069] 2. Combined keys: Multiple keys need to be pressed simultaneously or a key combination needs to be pressed in a specific order;

[0070] 3. Biometric recognition: Integrate a fingerprint recognition module, and only authorized users can trigger it.

[0071] Through the above-mentioned diversified triggering methods, this embodiment has the following technical effects: providing multiple triggering options to meet the needs of different usage scenarios; and using a combined triggering method to effectively reduce the probability of false triggering.

[0072] In this embodiment, for example, the shell 1 is a mobile phone shell, the electronic device is a mobile phone 4, and the shell 1 is mounted on the mobile phone 4. In the active attack mode, the user sends a first control instruction through a dedicated application pre-installed on the mobile phone 4. When the control unit receives the first control instruction, it controls the electronic switch to be turned on, so that the boost circuit module boosts the power supply of the mobile phone 4 and outputs it to the first electric shock head 2. In the passive defense mode, the user can send a second control instruction through the remote trigger unit. For example, the remote trigger unit is in the form of a bracelet, which is small in size (for example, about 20mm×15mm×8mm) and can be worn on the body. The remote trigger unit has a built-in button battery, a wireless communication module and a trigger button. When the user presses the trigger button, the remote trigger unit sends a second control instruction to the control unit, so that the boost circuit module outputs high voltage to the second electric shock head 3.

[0073] In summary, the self-defense electric shock device and self-defense electric shock method proposed by the present invention have the following advantages:

[0074] By arranging a discharge unit, a boost circuit module and a control module on the shell and connecting them to the electronic device, the self-defense function of the electronic device is realized, and the power supply voltage of the electronic device is increased to the self-defense voltage through the boost circuit module, so the self-defense function can be realized without an additional power supply, and the self-defense electric shock device powered by the electronic device battery and integrated with the electronic device has extremely strong concealment, is more likely to achieve the self-defense purpose, and improves the safety of the user.

[0075] In addition, a dual self-defense function is achieved by setting a first electric shock head and a second electric shock head, which are used for active attack and passive defense respectively; the first electric shock head and the second electric shock head are controlled respectively by electronic equipment and a remote trigger unit, and the self-defense mode can be flexibly selected according to different scenarios, thereby improving the self-defense effect.

[0076] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
