[0034] Description of the numbers in the figure:

[0035] 1. Bridge control console; 2. Display screen; 3. Hidden camera; 4. Hidden microphone. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following describes two implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] The first implementation method:

[0038] Figure 1-6 An auxiliary operating system for a one-man bridge on a ship is shown, comprising a bridge console 1 arranged in a control room of the ship and an operating system carried by the bridge console 1; the operating system comprises a control module, the input end of the control module being connected to a shooting module and an interface input module respectively, the input end of the shooting module being connected to a hidden camera 3 fixedly mounted on the bridge console 1, and the input end of the interface input module being connected to input hardware arranged on the bridge console 1; the output end of the control module being connected to a personnel identification module, a virtual interface generation module, a display module, an alarm module and a recording module respectively, the personnel identification module being used to identify the identity of personnel in the control room, the virtual interface generation module being used to generate a simulated operation interface, the output end of the display module being connected to a display screen 2 mounted on the bridge console 1, the output end of the alarm module being connected to a communication module mounted on the bridge console 1, the alarm module being used to generate and send alarm instructions; the recording module being used to record the identity of the current operator and operation records.

[0039] See 1 and Figure 6 , the operating system includes the following steps when in use:

[0040] Step 1: Identify the operator's identity; photograph the current operator through the hidden camera 3, and identify the current operator through the personnel identification module to determine whether the current operator is the authorized person;

[0041] Step 2: Select the input interface; when the current operator is identified as an authorized person, the real operation interface is displayed on the display screen 2, and then step 3 is executed; when the current operator is identified as an unauthorized person, the virtual operation interface is displayed on the display screen 2, and then step 4 is executed;

[0042] Specifically, the authorized person refers to an operator who has the authority to operate the bridge console 1, and the unauthorized person refers to an operator who does not have the authority to operate the bridge console 1;

[0043] Step 3: The operating system executes the input command of the current operator and records the operation record through the recording module;

[0044] In step 4, the operating system updates the various parameters on the virtual operation interface in real time through the virtual interface generation module based on the instructions input by the unauthorized person on the virtual operation interface; at the same time, the operation records of the unauthorized person are recorded through the recording module; in addition, the alarm module generates and issues an alarm instruction, and the communication module sends the alarm instruction to the background monitoring room.

[0045] Specifically, the alarm instruction includes the identity of the unauthorized person and the operation record of the unauthorized person.

[0046] Compared with the traditional bridge operating system, the present invention uses a hidden camera 3 and a personnel identification module to capture and identify the identity of the current operator, and displays a real operation interface or a virtual operation interface on the display screen 2 based on the current operator's authority. At the same time, the virtual interface generation module performs real-time simulation display of the operation of unauthorized persons, disguises the execution of erroneous operations and malicious operations, and reduces the impact of erroneous operations and malicious operations on navigation safety and internal safety of the ship; in addition, the alarm module promptly sends an alarm instruction containing the identity of the unauthorized person and the operation record, so that the background monitoring room personnel can take timely measures.

[0047] See also Figure 3 The personnel identification module includes a personnel storage unit and a personnel comparison unit. The personnel storage unit stores a list of authorized persons, and the personnel comparison unit compares the captured real-time operator information with the authorized person information.

[0048] Specifically, personnel comparison quickly determines whether the current operator is an authorized person or an unauthorized person.

[0049] See also Figure 4 ,The interface input module includes a real interface input unit, a virtual interface input unit and an input record input unit.

[0050] Specifically, the real interface input unit is used to receive input instructions from an authorized person, the virtual interface input unit is used to receive input instructions from an unauthorized person, and the input recording unit records the input instructions.

[0051] See also Figure 5 The virtual interface generation module includes an instruction acquisition unit and an interface generation unit. The interface generation unit updates the virtual operation interface in real time according to the operation instructions obtained by the instruction acquisition unit, and generates a display interface after disguised execution, thereby increasing the deception to malicious operators.

[0052] In this embodiment, the input hardware includes a keyboard, a mouse, a touch screen 2, and an adjustment knob.

[0053] Second implementation method:

[0054] Figure 7 An auxiliary operating system for a one-man bridge on a ship is shown. Based on the first embodiment, the personnel storage unit further stores information of personnel on board.

[0055] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 , the operating system includes the following steps when in use:

[0056] Step 1: Identify the identities of all personnel in the control room; use the hidden camera 3 to shoot all personnel in the current control room, and use the personnel identification module to identify the identities of all personnel in the current control room, determine whether the current operator is the authorized person, and determine whether there are any non-boarding record personnel in the current control room;

[0057] Specifically, non-boarding record personnel refer to strangers who were not identified and recorded when boarding the ship. When non-boarding record personnel appear in the ship's control room, there is a possibility that the ship may be hijacked;

[0058] Step 2: Select the input interface. When the current operator is identified as an authorized person and all personnel in the control room are on-board personnel, the real operation interface is displayed on the display screen 2, and then step 3 is executed. When the current operator is identified as an unauthorized person or there is a non-on-board personnel in the current control room, a virtual operation interface is displayed on the display screen 2, and then step 4 is executed.

[0059] Specifically, when there are non-boarding record personnel in the ship control room, no matter whether they are authorized personnel, unauthorized personnel or non-boarding record personnel, when operating the bridge control console 1, a virtual operation interface is used to reduce the possibility of crew members making operations that endanger navigation safety or ship safety after being hijacked;

[0060] Step 3: The operating system executes the input command of the current operator and records the operation record through the recording module;

[0061] In step 4, the operating system updates the various parameters on the virtual operation interface in real time through the virtual interface generation module based on the instructions input by the current operator on the virtual operation interface; at the same time, the operation records of unauthorized personnel are recorded through the recording module; in addition, the alarm module generates and issues an alarm instruction, and the communication module sends the alarm instruction to the background monitoring room.

[0062] Specifically, the hijacker is deceived through a virtual operation interface and an alarm is issued at the same time to delay the rescue operation and increase the success rate of the rescue.

[0063] Compared with the traditional bridge console operating system, the present invention identifies the personnel in the control room through the hidden camera 3 and the personnel identification module. When a person who is not on board the ship appears in the control room, the virtual operation interface is used to disguise and deceive the person, thereby delaying the rescue of possible ship hijacking, reducing the probability of endangering the navigation safety of the ship and the internal safety of the ship, and improving the success rate of rescue.

[0064] See also Figure 1The operating system further includes a camouflage alarm module connected to the output end of the control module, and the camouflage alarm module is used to generate a camouflage alarm icon on the virtual operation interface of the bridge console 1.

[0065] Specifically, when a hijacking incident occurs in the ship's control room, the authorized person can actively alarm by using a disguised alarm icon, while reducing the possibility of the hijackers noticing and improving the safety of the alarm operation. It should be noted that a disguised alarm icon refers to an icon that can send an alarm command but does not visually have an alarm indication.

[0066] See also Figure 1 A hidden microphone 4 is fixedly connected to the bridge console 1. The operating system also includes a microphone module connected to the input end of the control module. The input end of the microphone module is connected to the hidden microphone 4. The microphone module collects sound information in the ship control room and identifies sensitive words. When the microphone module identifies sensitive words, the alarm module issues an alarm command.

[0067] Specifically, the sound pickup module recognizes sensitive words to provide further basis for judging whether a hijacking has occurred in the ship control room, and passively triggers the alarm module when the authorized person is unable to actively alarm through the operation interface. For the sake of convenience, specific examples of sensitive words are as follows: including life-threatening words such as "waste" and "knife"; coercive words such as "not allowed", "quickly", and "otherwise".

[0068] In view of current actual needs, the protection scope of the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to this. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
