Description

A Prediction System and Method for Water-Drop Target Information Based on Marine Environment Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of search and rescue of targets that have fallen into the water at sea, and more specifically, to a system and method for predicting information on targets that have fallen into the water based on the marine environment. Background Technology

[0002] The marine environment is complex and changeable, with frequent severe weather events such as sea fog, strong winds, and high waves, leading to numerous maritime accidents and casualties. With the rapid development of marine industries such as shipping, marine fisheries, and coastal tourism, maritime activities are becoming increasingly frequent, undoubtedly increasing the probability of maritime accidents. Once an accident occurs, if rescue efforts are not timely or efficient, it will not only pose a significant threat to life but also result in substantial economic losses. Therefore, information such as the safety status, survival time, accident location, and drift trajectory of targets that have fallen into the water (such as people or objects) has become crucial for maritime search and rescue operations.

[0003] However, traditional rescue methods and lifesaving equipment have many limitations. Their functions are relatively limited, unable to obtain effective location and status information of a person who has fallen into the water in a timely manner, nor can they accurately estimate the drift trajectory and effective survival time of the person. This makes it difficult to successfully carry out rescue operations within the golden time frame, thus failing to effectively guarantee the safety of the person in the water or the timely recovery of belongings. From the perspective of the safety of the person in the water, traditional rescue methods and lifesaving equipment clearly have many shortcomings and inconveniences, urgently requiring improvement and innovation.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] To enable those skilled in the art to utilize the content of this application, and in conjunction with the specific application scenario of "search and rescue of targets that have fallen into the water at sea," the following embodiments are provided. For those skilled in the art, the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments and application scenarios without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Although this application primarily describes the "search and rescue of targets that have fallen into the water at sea," it should be understood that this is merely an exemplary embodiment.

[0058] It should be noted that the term "comprising" will be used in the embodiments of this application to indicate the presence of the features declared thereafter, but does not exclude the addition of other features.

[0059] Referring to Figure 1, which is a structural schematic diagram of a marine environment target information prediction system provided in an embodiment of this application, the system includes: a terminal device 101 and a cloud prediction module 102; the terminal device 101 includes a sensing module 1011, a communication module 1012 and a controller module 1013; the controller module 1013 is connected to the sensing module 1011 and the communication module 1012 respectively.

[0060] The controller module 1013 includes a processor for executing all steps required by the controller module. At least one compartment is provided on the portable search and rescue equipment or life jacket of the target in the water to house the terminal device. The compartment may be equipped with zippers or buckles to prevent the emergency terminal device from falling out. The terminal device is covered with a waterproof device, such as a waterproof cover.

[0061] The sensing module 1011 is used to sense the current attribute information and current location information of the target falling into the water in real time, as well as the current ocean ambient temperature; and transmit the current attribute information, current location information and current ocean ambient temperature to the controller module 1013.

[0062] In this application's embodiments, the target that falls into the water can be a person or an object. Different targets require different attribute information; for example, a person's attribute information may refer to vital signs, including but not limited to water depth, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and body temperature—any key physiological and environmental parameters that directly affect their rescue time (i.e., the remaining time they can survive or continue to float). An object's attribute information includes structural integrity, surface damage, material hardness, buoyancy, immersion time, and other key factors that directly affect its "survival" time (i.e., the remaining time it can be recovered or continue to float). Current attribute information refers to the target's attribute information at the current moment; current location information refers to the target's coordinates at the current moment; and current ocean ambient temperature refers to the surface seawater temperature (in degrees Celsius, °C) at the point corresponding to the target's current location.

[0063] Further, referring to FIG2, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the sensing module provided in this embodiment, the sensing module 1011 includes a pressure sensor 201, a heart rate sensor 202, an infrared sensor 203, a temperature sensor 204, and a positioning module 205. The pressure sensor 201 is connected to the controller module 1013, the heart rate sensor 202 is connected to the controller module 1013, the infrared sensor 203 is connected to the controller module 1013, the temperature sensor 204 is connected to the controller module 1013, and the positioning module 205 is connected to the controller module 1013.

[0064] It should be noted that the sensing module provided in this application embodiment is only a part of it, and may also include other devices for sensing the attribute information of the target falling into the water. It can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, and there is no limitation here.

[0065] Specifically, pressure sensor 201 is used to detect the water depth of the target in the current attribute information in real time; heart rate sensor 202 is used to detect the reflected or transmitted light signal of a specific wavelength light signal in real time using photoplethysmography; convert the reflected or transmitted light signal into an electrical signal; amplify the electrical signal; and extract the heart rate and blood oxygen data of the target in the current attribute information from the amplified electrical signal; infrared sensor 203 is used to detect the body temperature data of the target in the current attribute information in real time; temperature sensor 204 is used to detect the current ocean ambient temperature in real time; and positioning module 205 is used to detect the current location information of the target in the current attribute information in real time. The positioning module 205 can be a GPS / BeiDou module.

[0066] The controller module 1013 is used to determine the current effective survival time of the target that has fallen into the water based on the current attribute information, current location information and current ocean ambient temperature; and to transmit the current location information, current attribute information and current effective survival time to the cloud prediction module through the communication module.

[0067] In the embodiments of this application, the current effective survival time does not refer to how long the target can survive in a physiological or physical sense, but rather to the "rescue window" during which conditions for successful rescue are still met under the combined effect of "current attribute information, current location information, and current ocean environmental temperature". Once this window is exceeded, even if the target itself has not lost its life or floating ability, it cannot be successfully retrieved due to excessive distance, environmental degradation, or resource depletion. Therefore, the current effective survival time is essentially the last effective time limit for the current implementation and achievement of a rescue operation.

[0068] Specifically, based on the current attribute information, current location information, and current ocean ambient temperature, the current effective survival time of the target that fell into the water is determined, including: inputting the current attribute information, current location information, and current ocean ambient temperature into the duration determination model to obtain the current effective survival time of the target that fell into the water.

[0069] The duration determination model is pre-trained based on historical attribute information, historical location information, and historical ocean ambient temperature from historical rescue cases, as well as the actual effective survival time corresponding to these historical attribute information, historical location information, and historical ocean ambient temperature. The duration determination model is a deep learning-based regression network, consisting of an input layer, a spatiotemporal convolutional layer, a multimodal fusion layer, and a deep residual regression head. The input layer concatenates the current attribute information, current location information, and current ocean ambient temperature into a three-dimensional tensor; the first dimension corresponds to the encoding of the current attribute information, the second dimension to the encoding of the current location information, and the third dimension to the encoding of the current ocean ambient temperature. The spatiotemporal convolutional layer performs spatiotemporal convolution on the second and third dimensions to extract the joint features of the current location information and ocean ambient temperature. The multimodal fusion layer then fuses the current attribute information from the first dimension with the spatiotemporal convolution result after fully connected weighting. The fused features are then input into the deep residual regression head to obtain the previous effective survival time.

[0070] Here, current attribute information, current location information, and current ocean ambient temperature, from three complementary dimensions—"target itself, spatial location, and environmental constraints"—jointly determine "whether it can be rescued and for how long." Therefore, this approach more accurately determines the current effective survival time than a single data source. Its advantages are: current attribute information directly characterizes "how long the target can survive"—higher or lower heart rate / body temperature / blood oxygen levels in humans, or more severe damage and lower buoyancy in objects, result in shorter tolerance times. This allows the model to quantify "life / structural limits" first, avoiding misjudging targets nearing failure as still having a long window of opportunity. Current location information provides real-time "drift trajectory and speed," predicting where the target will drift to in the next few minutes; current location information is spatiotemporally matched with rescue resource deployment to calculate "the fastest time it will take for rescue forces to arrive." Current ocean ambient temperature acts as an environmental accelerator—low temperatures can significantly shorten the human hypothermia limit and also alter the embrittlement of materials and the rate of water ingress; combining current ocean ambient temperature with location information maps the environmental field (temperature gradient, cold water mass) onto the drift path, dynamically correcting the limit time. Therefore, the model uses attributes to define the "upper limit", location to calculate "reachability", and temperature to make a "reduction". The current effective survival time output after the three are combined will neither overestimate the target's own endurance nor underestimate the difficulty of rescue, thereby significantly reducing false alarms and false negatives and improving the utilization rate of the golden window.

[0071] Further, referring to FIG3, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of the communication module provided in the embodiment of this application, the communication module includes a first sensing data transmission module 301 and a second sensing data transmission module 302;

[0072] Specifically, the first sensing data transmission module 301 is used to transmit the current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time sent by the controller module to the cloud prediction module when the distance between the current location information of the target falling into the water and the seashore is less than or equal to a preset distance. The second sensing data transmission module 302 is used to transmit the current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time sent by the controller module to the cloud prediction module when the distance between the current location information of the target falling into the water and the seashore is greater than a preset distance.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first sensing data transmission module 301 can be a 4G / 5G module, and the second sensing data transmission module 302 can be a satellite module. This application enables the transmission of current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time via 4G / 5G at near-shore distances. At offshore distances, it enables satellite transmission of current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time via 4G / 5G at near-shore distances.

[0074] Here, the core advantage of adopting the dual-link architecture of "4G / 5G module + satellite module" lies in seamless coverage and communication redundancy across the near and far seas: (1) Optimal cost-efficiency: In the near sea (within the coverage of the base station), the 4G / 5G module is activated first, and the current location information, current attribute information and current effective survival time are uploaded in real time using the public network link with high bandwidth, low cost and low power consumption, which significantly reduces satellite traffic costs and terminal energy consumption. (2) Reliable backup in the far sea: Once the target drifts out of the base station range, the system automatically switches to the satellite module, and can still continue to transmit the same key data back, ensuring that the rescue center does not lose the target in the ocean scenario and achieves seamless extension of communication distance. (3) Redundancy backup and improved success rate: 4G / 5G and satellite are redundant to each other: When the near sea base station is congested or fails, the terminal can immediately activate the satellite link; conversely, when the satellite is blocked or attenuated by rain, it can still switch back to 4G / 5G. The two links are online or hot standby at the same time, which greatly improves the transmission reliability under extreme weather conditions. (4) Data consistency: Regardless of distance, the terminal encapsulates three types of data—"location-attribute-effective survival time"—in a unified format. No re-encoding is required during link switching, ensuring that the information received by the rescue center is always complete and parseable. In summary, this application embodiment, through a dual-module design of "4G / 5G near-shore high bandwidth + satellite far-sea blind-spot-free," balances cost, power consumption, and reliability, truly achieving real-time backhaul of information on targets that have fallen into the water across the entire sea area.

[0075] The cloud-based prediction module 102 is used to predict the drift trajectory of a target that has fallen into the water based on the current location information and the corresponding predicted marine environmental variables. Based on the predicted marine environmental temperature at each trajectory point, it queries the marine environmental temperature-survival duration correspondence table to determine the predicted effective survival duration of the target at each trajectory point. This marine environmental temperature-survival duration correspondence table is constructed based on the current attribute information and the current effective survival duration.

[0076] In this embodiment, marine environmental variables include wind speed, wind direction, surface current velocity, current direction, wave height, wave direction, seawater temperature, salinity, air pressure, and tidal phase. These variables collectively drive the drift model to generate a continuous trajectory sequence (i.e., drift trajectory) of the target falling into the water in a latitude and longitude coordinate system at future times. Specifically, existing techniques such as Kalman filtering can be used to predict the drift trajectory of the target falling into the water based on the current location information and the corresponding predicted marine environmental variables. Furthermore, Table 1 shows the correspondence between marine environmental temperature and survival time provided in this embodiment. Table 1 shows that the "Correspondence Table between Marine Environmental Temperature and Survival Time" stores the effective survival time corresponding to each marine environmental temperature.

[0077]

[0078] Table 1

[0079] Furthermore, in low sea states, the weight of the target and the influence of ocean currents significantly affect its drift trajectory. As the sea state increases, the drift trajectory of the target gradually shifts from being dominated by ocean currents to being dominated by sea winds, with the influence of sea winds becoming increasingly significant. Specifically, a table corresponding to ocean ambient temperature and survival time is constructed through the following steps: From the pre-tested effective survival time impact values ​​of each target under various ocean ambient temperatures and attribute information, the effective survival time impact value corresponding to the current attribute information is selected, obtaining the effective survival time impact value corresponding to each ocean ambient temperature under the current attribute information; the effective survival time impact value corresponding to each ocean ambient temperature is added to the current effective survival time to obtain the effective survival time corresponding to each ocean ambient temperature.

[0080] In addition, the terminal device 101 also includes a light-emitting module 1014 and a sound-emitting module 1015; a controller module 1013; which is also used to generate a distress message based on the current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time; and send the distress message to the search and rescue personnel through the communication module at a preset frequency; the controller module 1013 is also used to determine the corresponding distress color based on the distress message or the rescue feedback information fed back by the search and rescue personnel based on the distress message; and send the distress color to the light-emitting module through the communication module; and send the distress message to the sound-emitting module; the light-emitting module 1014 is used to emit light corresponding to the distress color; and the sound-emitting module 1015 is used to play the distress message sent by the controller module.

[0081] In this embodiment, the rescue feedback information may include the time of arrival near the rescue location. Before the arrival time, a color with low power consumption can be used as the distress signal color; upon arrival, a brighter color can be used as the distress signal color. This avoids excessive power consumption that would increase rescue time while ensuring that search and rescue personnel can locate the target in the water.

[0082] For example, the distress message is: the target is at the current location information a, and the current effective survival time under the current attribute information b is 28 hours.

[0083] Here, the communication module 1012 further includes: an information transmission module 303; the information transmission module 303 is used to generate a target distress message for short message communication from the distress message; to send the target distress message to the search and rescue personnel; the information transmission module is also used to receive rescue feedback information from the search and rescue personnel based on the target distress message, and to transmit the rescue feedback information to the controller module; the information transmission module 303 is also used to transmit the distress color sent by the controller module to the light emission module 1014.

[0084] Here, the information transmission module 303 can be the first sensing data transmission module 301 and the second sensing data transmission module 302, or it can be a Beidou module or an AIS module. The light-emitting module can be an LED light or other lighting fixtures, and the sound-emitting module can be a speaker, etc.

[0085] The cloud prediction module 102 is also used to: send the real-time drift trajectory, current attribute information, the current effective survival time, the predicted drift trajectory and the predicted effective survival time to the search and rescue personnel to guide them in the search and rescue; wherein, the real-time drift trajectory refers to the trajectory generated based on all location information of the target that has fallen into the water, which is obtained in real time by the sensing module.

[0086] Furthermore, the system also includes a power module 1016; the power module 1016 is connected to the controller module 1013 and is used to supply power to the terminal device 101 after detecting that the target has fallen into the water. The power module 1016 includes a battery pack (for powering and charging the entire terminal device), a water-sensitive switch (for controlling the power on / off of the battery pack), a water ingress detection unit (for automatically turning on the water-sensitive switch and immediately starting the power supply of the battery pack after detecting that the terminal device has fallen into the water), and a power adapter (for controlling the charging of the battery pack).

[0087] This system integrates satellite navigation communication technology, AIS automatic identification communication technology, and intelligent sensing technology to acquire real-time accident location and vital signs information of targets that have fallen into the water. Simultaneously, it uses marine environmental forecasting technology to predict marine environmental information such as sea temperature, sea fog, wind, and waves, predicting the drift trajectory of the target. Furthermore, it calculates the effective survival time of the target along the drift trajectory using a survival calculation method based on marine environmental attributes. Through AIS / 4G / 5G communication and satellite communication, it achieves real-time transmission of marine environmental information, predicted drift trajectories, and effective survival time information over short and long distances. This transforms traditional passive search and rescue into active search and rescue, enabling effective interaction between the target and maritime rescue, and providing real-time monitoring of the target's drift trajectory and effective survival time, thereby improving the success rate of search and rescue operations.

[0088] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a method for predicting falling targets based on the ocean environment, which corresponds to the ocean environment-based falling target information prediction system.

This method is applied to a terminal device in a marine environment water-falling target information prediction system as described in any of the first aspects. The method includes:

[0090] S401. Real-time perception of the current attribute information and current location information of the target falling into the water, as well as the current ocean environmental temperature.

[0091] S402. Based on the current attribute information, current location information, and the current ocean environmental temperature, determine the current effective survival time of the target that fell into the water; and send the current location information, current attribute information, and current effective survival time to the cloud prediction module, so that the cloud prediction module can predict the predicted drift trajectory of the target that fell into the water based on the current location information and the predicted ocean environmental variables corresponding to the current location information; the cloud prediction module can query the predicted effective survival time of the target at each trajectory point from the ocean environmental temperature and survival time correspondence table based on the predicted ocean environmental temperature of each trajectory point in the predicted drift trajectory.

[0092] The table corresponding to marine environmental temperature and survival time is constructed based on current attribute information and current effective survival time.

[0093] This method integrates sensing and communication technologies to obtain real-time location and attribute information of targets falling into the water, accurately estimating their drift trajectory and effective survival time. This effectively ensures the safety of those who fall into the water and facilitates the timely recovery of their belongings.
