Description

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of smart wearable devices, smart homes, and emergency rescue technologies, specifically to a universal emergency rescue and first aid linkage method and system.

[0002] The existing emergency rescue solutions on the market have the following shortcomings: (1) Single triggering method - most solutions only support button triggering or single sensor detection, which cannot cover various emergency scenarios; (2) Incomplete response process - they can only notify the contact person, lack the ability to automatically upgrade to call 120 after timeout, or they can only directly call 120 without the contact person notification link; (3) Lack of access control linkage - emergency personnel cannot enter the user's location after arrival, delaying the rescue opportunity; (4) Limited equipment form and communication method - they rely on specific equipment types and communication protocols, which are easily circumvented and bypassed. Therefore, there is a need for a universal emergency rescue and emergency rescue linkage technology solution that covers all response paths.

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing emergency rescue system, which is incomplete and easily circumvented, and to provide a universal emergency rescue and first aid linkage method that covers all response paths. It supports both a sequential response method of notifying the contact person first and then calling the emergency center after the timeout, and an immediate response method of directly calling the emergency center.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention employs the following technical solution: an emergency distress and first aid linkage method, comprising the following steps: detecting a user's emergency trigger signal; performing any one or more of the following operations: sending a distress notification to at least one preset contact terminal; initiating an emergency call to an emergency center; and issuing an access control opening command to enable emergency personnel to enter the user's location. The emergency trigger signal can be generated in various ways, including but not limited to: tap trigger, fall detection, abnormal health data, prolonged inactivity, physical button trigger, voice wake-up, and incomplete travel plans. The detection device can be any form of terminal device, including but not limited to various wearable devices, personal portable devices, head-mounted devices, clothing accessories, and environmental sensors. The communication method covers all existing and future possible communication protocols. The access control opening method also covers multiple implementation paths.

[0005] The present invention also provides an emergency distress and first aid linkage system, comprising: a trigger detection module for detecting a user's emergency state and generating an emergency trigger signal; a communication module for sending distress notifications and emergency calls; a notification dispatch module for sending distress notifications to contact terminals and / or initiating emergency calls to emergency centers according to preset rules; and an access control module for receiving opening instructions and executing access control opening operations.

[0006] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) It solves the problem of incomplete process in the prior art by completing the closed-loop process from triggering method to access control execution; (2) It covers both the sequential response path of notifying the contact person first and the immediate response path of directly calling the emergency center, and has a wider range of applications; (3) It prevents the situation of circumventing patent protection by replacing a single technical feature by comprehensively covering alternative solutions for various implementation methods; (4) It improves the reliability and timeliness of emergency rescue by multimodal triggering and multi-path response; (5) It ensures that emergency personnel can enter the scene as soon as possible by access control linkage design.

[0007] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the emergency rescue and first aid linkage method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a block diagram of an emergency rescue and first aid linkage system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0008] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0009] Example 1 (Sequential Response Mode): As Figure 1 As shown, the emergency distress and first aid linkage method of this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S101, detecting the user's emergency trigger signal. The emergency trigger signal can be generated by detecting the user's triple or double tapping action through an accelerometer, or it can be automatically triggered by a fall detection algorithm when the data from the accelerometer and gyroscope match the fall characteristics. Step S102, sending a distress notification to at least one preset contact terminal. The distress notification can be sent to preset family members or relatives via smartphone app push, SMS, or telephone. Step S103, if no confirmation response signal is received within a preset waiting time, automatically initiating an emergency call to the emergency center. The waiting time can be set to 1-5 minutes, such as 2 minutes. Step S104, issuing an access control opening command at a preset time, controlling the smart door lock to automatically unlock, or generating a temporary password for emergency personnel to use. Step S104 can be executed simultaneously with step S102, or after step S103, depending on the specific timing configured according to the actual scenario.

[0010] Example 2 (Immediate Response Mode): This example differs from Example 1 in that it skips the contact notification step immediately upon detecting an emergency trigger signal, directly calling the emergency center and controlling access control. This mode is suitable for the following scenarios: severely abnormal health data (e.g., heart rate below 40 beats / min or blood oxygen below 85%), users explicitly selecting the direct call mode, or preset high-risk user scenarios. The two response modes can automatically switch based on user preferences or scenarios.

[0011] Example 3: This example provides an emergency rescue and first aid linkage system, such as... Figure 2As shown, the system includes: a trigger detection module, located within the wearable terminal, comprising an accelerometer, heart rate sensor, and blood oxygen sensor; a communication module, connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth, with the smartphone communicating with a cloud server via a mobile cellular network; a notification scheduling module, deployed on the cloud server, managing the contact list and notification rules, supporting both sequential and immediate response modes; and an access control module, deployed on the smart lock, receiving commands from the cloud server to unlock the door. These modules can also be integrated into the same device or deployed in a distributed manner on different devices.

[0012] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
