Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation parachute safety protection technology, and in particular to a parachute distance alarm system, method, watch, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, more and more high-altitude recreational activities and exploration missions are emerging. To ensure safety, parachutes are used for these activities and missions. In certain scenarios, formation or group jumps are employed, and skydivers typically maintain a pre-set safe distance to prevent mid-air collisions or parachute cable entanglement.
[0003] Currently, in formation skydiving or high-density skydiving activities, the distance control between skydivers relies entirely on the skydiver's eyes to observe and judge whether the distance is sufficient to ensure safety based on personal experience. However, during the skydive, the parachute will block the skydiver's vision in multiple directions, including above, to the sides, and behind. In addition, the skydiving environment is complex and changeable. In night skydiving, low-altitude skydiving, or skydiving in poor environments, it is impossible to accurately judge distances with the eyes, which may lead to collisions between skydivers and cause safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a parachute distance alarm system, method, watch, and computer-readable storage medium. This aims to address the problem in the prior art where, during parachuting, the opening of the parachute obstructs the parachutist's view from multiple directions, including above, to the sides, and behind. Furthermore, the complex and variable environment of parachuting operations, particularly nighttime, low-altitude, or poorly ventilated jumps, makes accurate distance judgment by sight impossible, potentially leading to collisions and safety accidents among parachutists.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a parachute distance alarm system, which includes a self-test networking module, an alarm setting module, a parachute setting module, and a parachute alarm module.

The second altitude compensation unit is used to perform altitude compensation when the landing zone is at a lower altitude than the takeoff zone.
[0011] Optionally, the parachute alarm module obtains the first parachute distance from the alarm distance value setting submodule, the first time from the alarm delay setting submodule, and the alarm mode set by the alarm mode setting submodule; After acquiring parachute information and deploying the parachute, the parachute alarm module waits for a short period of time. If other parachute distance alarm systems are less than the alarm distance of the first parachute distance alarm system, it will issue an alarm based on the alarm method.
[0012] Optionally, the parachute distance alarm system further includes a parachute jump count statistics module, an altitude setting module, and a log recording module; The parachute jump count module is used to count the number of parachute jumps of the parachute drop distance alarm system. The height setting module is used to set the height display mode of the parachute distance alarm system; The log recording module is used to record parachute logs, which include parachute altitude, parachute opening altitude, landing time, maximum descent speed, and first device ID.
[0013] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a parachute distance alarm method, the parachute distance alarm method comprising: The self-testing networking module receives the operation command, performs a self-test on the parachute distance alarm system, and controls the parachute distance alarm system to network with all parachute distance alarm systems in the target area after the self-test is completed, thereby generating a target network. The alarm setting module receives a first setting instruction to set the alarm delay and alarm mode of the parachute distance alarm system; the parachute setting module receives a second setting instruction to set the parachute information. Upon receiving the parachute deployment command, the parachute alarm module will immediately issue an alarm based on the parachute information if other parachute distance alarm systems are less than the first alarm distance from the first parachute distance alarm system.
[0014] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a parachute distance alarm program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the parachute distance alarm method as described above.

[0025] With technological advancements, more and more high-altitude recreational activities and exploration missions have emerged. For safety, parachutes are used in these activities and missions. In certain scenarios, formation or group jumps are employed. To ensure safety, jumpers typically maintain a pre-set safe distance to avoid mid-air collisions or parachute cable entanglement. Currently, in formation or high-density jumps, distance control relies entirely on the jumper's visual observation and personal experience to determine if the distance is sufficient for safety. However, during a jump, the deployment of the parachute obstructs the jumper's view from above, to the sides, and behind. Furthermore, the complex and variable environment of a jump, especially at night, at low altitudes, or in poor conditions, makes accurate distance judgment impossible visually, increasing the risk of collisions and accidents.
[0026] To address one or more of the above-mentioned problems, this application provides a parachute distance alarm system, comprising a self-test networking module, an alarm setting module, a parachute setting module, and a parachute alarm module. The self-test networking module performs a self-test on pre-set hardware within a first parachute distance alarm system and networks with other parachute distance alarm systems within a preset range. The alarm setting module sets the alarm delay and alarm mode of the parachute distance alarm system. The parachute setting module sets parachute information based on environmental information. The parachute alarm module triggers an alarm based on the parachute information when other parachute distance alarm systems are less than a first alarm distance from the first parachute distance alarm system.
[0027] The parachute distance alarm system described in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the parachute distance alarm system includes a self-test networking module 11, an alarm setting module 12, a parachute setting module 13, and a parachute alarm module 14; The self-test networking module 11 is used to perform self-tests on the hardware preset in the first parachute distance alarm system and to network with other parachute distance alarm systems within a preset range. The alarm setting module 12 is used to set the alarm delay and alarm mode of the parachute distance alarm system; The parachute setting module 13 is used to set parachute information according to environmental information; The parachute alarm module 14 is used to issue an alarm based on the parachute information when other parachute distance alarm systems are less than the first alarm distance from the first parachute distance alarm system.
[0028] Specifically, in this invention, after the parachute distance alarm system completes self-test networking, it realizes information interaction with other parachute distance alarm systems in the vicinity. Then, through the alarm setting module and the parachute setting module, the alarm delay, alarm method, altitude compensation and first alarm distance are set. After the parachute opens, when other parachutists appear within the first alarm distance after the alarm delay ends, the parachute alarm module uses the corresponding alarm method to sound an alarm.
[0029] Furthermore, the self-test networking module includes a self-test submodule and a networking submodule; The self-test submodule is used to perform a self-test on the pre-set hardware and generate a corresponding self-test result. When the self-test result is abnormal, a fault code is output. The networking submodule is used to network multiple parachute distance alarm systems.
[0030] Specifically, in this invention, the parachute distance alarm system performs a self-test during operation. This self-test primarily checks the barometric pressure sensor, inertial measurement unit, and memory. A success message is displayed when the self-test passes; otherwise, a corresponding fault code is displayed, and the specific details of the fault are obtained based on the fault code. Furthermore, within the target area, all parachute distance alarm systems are networked using UWB to form a target network.
[0031] Furthermore, the alarm setting module includes an alarm delay setting submodule and an alarm mode setting submodule; The alarm delay setting submodule is used to set the first time the parachute alarm module will run after the parachute is deployed. The alarm mode setting submodule is used to set the alarm mode, which includes sound alarm, warning light alarm and vibration alarm.
[0032] Specifically, the alarm delay setting submodule sets the delay time for activating the parachute distance alarm system to detect surrounding parachute distance alarm systems after parachute deployment is detected. In one embodiment of the invention, the first time is set to 2 seconds. Therefore, 2 seconds after parachute deployment is detected, monitoring begins to detect whether there are other parachute distance alarm systems within the first alarm distance, i.e., monitoring whether there are other skydivers within the first alarm distance. The alarm method setting submodule sets the corresponding alarm method to alert others who are close to the system. The invention allows for selection of the appropriate alarm method based on different environmental conditions.
[0033] Furthermore, the parachute setting module includes an altitude compensation submodule and an alarm distance value setting submodule, wherein the parachute information includes altitude compensation and a first alarm distance; The altitude compensation submodule is used to set altitude compensation according to the altitude difference when there is an altitude difference between the takeoff area and the landing area. The alarm distance setting submodule is used to set the first alarm distance.
[0034] Specifically, in this invention, the parachute setting module includes an altitude compensation submodule and an alarm distance value setting submodule. The alarm distance value setting submodule is used to set a corresponding first alarm distance. After the parachute opens and a first period of time has elapsed, if other parachute distance alarm systems appear within the first alarm distance of the parachute distance alarm system, an alarm will be triggered accordingly.
[0035] Since the takeoff and landing areas are usually not in the same location during a parachute jump, there is often an altitude difference. In order to make it easier to check the relative altitude of the landing area during the flight, an altitude compensation submodule is used to perform altitude compensation.
[0036] Specifically, the height compensation submodule includes a first height compensation unit and a second height compensation unit; The first altitude compensation unit is used to perform altitude compensation when the landing area is at a higher altitude than the takeoff area. The second altitude compensation unit is used to perform altitude compensation when the landing zone is at a lower altitude than the takeoff zone.
[0037] In altitude compensation, when the landing zone altitude is higher than the takeoff zone altitude, altitude compensation is performed through the first altitude compensation unit; when the landing zone altitude is lower than the takeoff zone altitude, altitude compensation is performed through the second altitude compensation unit; when the landing zone and takeoff zone altitudes are the same, no altitude compensation submodule is required.
[0038] Furthermore, the parachute alarm module obtains the first parachute distance from the alarm distance value setting submodule, the first time from the alarm delay setting submodule, and the alarm mode set by the alarm mode setting submodule; After acquiring parachute information and deploying the parachute, the parachute alarm module waits for a short period of time. If other parachute distance alarm systems are less than the alarm distance of the first parachute distance alarm system, it will issue an alarm based on the alarm method.
[0039] Specifically, in this invention, the parachute alarm module obtains the first alarm distance from the parachute information; after the parachute opens, after waiting for a first time, it obtains the distance between itself and other parachute distance alarm systems in real time based on the target network; when the distance is less than the alarm distance, it uses the set alarm method to issue an alarm.
[0040] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a pre-alarm distance is set. When the distance of other parachute distance alarm systems is less than the pre-alarm distance, a warning is issued by flashing lights, and the number of people nearby is displayed. The pre-alarm distance is greater than the first alarm distance.
[0041] Furthermore, the parachute distance alarm system also includes a parachute jump count statistics module, an altitude setting module, and a log recording module; The parachute jump count module is used to count the number of parachute jumps of the parachute drop distance alarm system. The height setting module is used to set the height display mode of the parachute distance alarm system; The log recording module is used to record parachute logs, which include parachute altitude, parachute opening altitude, landing time, maximum descent speed, and first device ID.
[0042] Specifically, in this invention, the parachute distance alarm system also includes a parachute jump count statistics module, an altitude setting module, and a log recording module.
[0043] The parachute jump count module is used to count the number of parachute jumps for easy viewing and to perform corresponding operations such as replacing parachute accessories; the altitude setting module is used to set the display method of the current parachute distance alarm system altitude. Preferably, the present invention includes two altitude display methods: meters and feet.
[0044] The parachute distance alarm system of this invention includes a self-test networking module, an alarm setting module, a parachute setting module, and a parachute alarm module. The self-test networking module performs a self-test on the pre-set hardware of the first parachute distance alarm system and networks with other parachute distance alarm systems within a preset range. The alarm setting module sets the alarm delay and alarm mode of the parachute distance alarm system. The parachute setting module sets parachute information based on environmental information. The parachute alarm module triggers an alarm based on the parachute information when other parachute distance alarm systems are less than a first alarm distance from the first parachute distance alarm system. This invention, through the parachute distance alarm system, accurately acquires information about other parachutists within a first parachute distance range during formation or high-density parachute jumps, and issues an alarm, allowing target parachutists to more accurately determine their distances to each other, thereby avoiding collisions and reducing the risks of parachute activities.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, based on the above-mentioned parachute distance alarm system, the present invention also provides a parachute distance alarm method, wherein the parachute distance alarm method includes: Step S10: The self-test networking module receives the operation command, performs a self-test on the parachute distance alarm system, and controls the parachute distance alarm system to network with all parachute distance alarm systems in the target area after the self-test is completed, thereby generating a target network. Step S20: The alarm setting module receives a first setting instruction to set the alarm delay and alarm mode of the parachute distance alarm system; the parachute setting module receives a second setting instruction to set the parachute information. Step S30: Upon receiving the parachute deployment command, the parachute alarm module will, immediately after receiving the command, issue an alarm based on the parachute information when other parachute distance alarm systems are less than the first alarm distance from the first parachute distance alarm system.
[0046] The present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a parachute distance alarm program, and when the parachute distance alarm program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the parachute distance alarm method described below.
[0047] The present invention also provides a watch that includes the aforementioned parachute distance alarm system.
