[0029] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure.

[0030] In the description of the present disclosure, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms “upper”, “lower”, etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a drowning detection alarm system, including a drowning detection device 1 and a drowning alarm device of the present disclosure, wherein the drowning detection device and the drowning alarm device are wirelessly connected, for example, via Bluetooth, RFID or Wifi, wherein the wireless transmission form can be switched to the Internet, a local area network, etc. The drowning detection device 1 transmits the captured human image information to the data processing module, and when the alarm triggering condition is met, a prompt is sent to the drowning alarm device, and the drowning alarm device issues an alarm. Reference Figure 2 The drowning detection device 1 includes a floating block 11, a first camera 12 and a second camera 13. The first camera 12 is located above the floating block 11, and the second camera 13 is located below the floating block 11.

[0032] In order to enable the drowning detection alarm system of the present disclosure to work normally in water, the drowning detection device 1 may be sprayed with a waterproof coating or assembled in a waterproof sealing manner to achieve a waterproof effect.

[0033] In order to make the structure of the drowning detection alarm system disclosed in the present invention more compact, the battery, wireless positioning module, wireless communication module, data storage module and data processing module can be arranged in the drowning detection device 1 to form a smart box, which is placed in the floating block. The wireless positioning module can adopt a Bluetooth positioning module or a WiFi positioning module. The integration technology of batteries, wireless positioning modules, wireless communication modules, data storage and data processing modules is very mature and can be made by conventional methods. For example, patent CN212936019U provides an external camera based on the AC5702 chip, including: a main control module, and a power supply module, a camera module, a communication module, a microphone module, a USB interface module, a Flash module, and a memory card module electrically connected to the main control module respectively. The main control module includes a main control chip, model AC5702, and the USB interface module is electrically connected to the power supply module. For another example, patent CN104410781B provides a mobile terminal, including a body and a detachable mobile terminal camera, wherein the body has a body communication module for receiving camera data sent by the communication module of the detachable mobile terminal camera; a main battery is arranged in the body, and if the power of the auxiliary battery is lower than a set value and the power of the main battery is higher than a set value, the main battery charges the auxiliary battery in the camera housing.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second camera 13 of the drowning detection device 1 uses a wide-angle camera, and multiple cameras are set according to the camera angle of the wide-angle camera to achieve more comprehensive coverage of the monitoring range. For example, a commercially available 360 ​​smart camera (product name: 360D606, JD.com product number: 2770504) can be used, which has a 140° human eye wide angle and human shape recognition function. The camera can be sprayed with waterproof spray or sealed with waterproof sealant around the camera to achieve underwater use. Figure 3 This is a bottom view of the drowning detection device 1. To achieve 360° detection angle coverage, three smart cameras with a 140° human eye wide angle can be installed under the floating block in a manner that the shooting angle covers 360° outward. There are also other wide-angle cameras in the prior art. For example, patent CN2318643Y provides a hemispherical wide-angle lens with a viewing angle of 90-140 degrees.

[0035] In some embodiments, the first camera 12 and the second camera 13 of the drowning detection device 1 can perform 360-degree rotation detection, capture human body information in the adjacent water area, and transmit the human body information to the data processing module. https: / / www.youlai.cn / yyk / article / 566498.html ), human drowning is a process, not an instantaneous event. Human drowning may take 5 to 25 minutes. The camera does not need to continuously detect the human body to detect drowning. In some scenarios, the rotation frequency of the camera can be set. For example, the camera can be set to rotate 120 to 180 degrees per minute. The camera can capture several human movements in a short period of time. In more cautious scenarios, a 360° camera with human tracking function can be used. For example, the commercially available human detection camera Huawei 360-degree waterproof camera (product name: Huawei Smart Selection Seagull, JD.com product number: 100080503550) can be used. It has a camera field of view of 360° horizontally and 125° vertically, a panoramic timed cruise function, and human detection and movement tracking functions; for example, the commercially available Newman wireless waterproof camera (product name: Newman CWY006-128, JD.com product number: 100052290722) can be used. It has a dual gimbal design and can achieve 360° tracking without blind spots.

[0036] Continue to refer Figure 1 In some embodiments, the drowning alarm device may include a first drowning alarm device 21 and a second drowning alarm device 22. The first drowning alarm device 21 may be, for example, a power amplifier speaker, a warning light, etc., which may alert the people in the swimming pool and all staff to see if there are people around them who need help. The second drowning alarm device 22 may be, for example, an alarm device for professional lifeguards, including but not limited to wireless headsets, etc., which may alert lifeguards individually and provide specific location information to lifeguards based on a pre-determined pool grid location.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, such as in a swimming pool environment, the drowning detection alarm system further includes a third camera 31 and a fourth camera 32. The third camera 31 and the fourth camera 32 are traditional wall cameras that provide a global view on the water surface.

[0038] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , place a drowning detection device of the present invention in the swimming pool, which can be placed in the center of the swimming pool. The drowning detection device can float in the swimming pool. For some standard swimming pools with lane lines or buoys, the drowning detection device can also be installed on the lane lines or buoys, and the floating block can be tied to the lane lines or buoys by, for example, elastic bands. If multiple drowning detection devices are used, they can be flexibly combined and used in floating or fixed ways. The drowning detection device of the present invention transmits the captured human image information to the data processing module. When person A is photographed, the drowning risk value is calculated to be low. The data processing module determines that it does not meet the drowning posture characteristics and does not trigger an alarm prompt. When person B is photographed, the drowning risk value is calculated to be high and is judged to meet the drowning posture characteristics, triggering an alarm prompt.

[0039] In some embodiments, the camera of the drowning detection alarm system disclosed in the present invention determines the characteristics of the human body's drowning posture by capturing key points of the human body, such as human facial organs, such as eyes, nose and mouth, ears, and other key points of the human body such as major body joints. After analysis by the data processing module, the human body's movement posture and its relationship with the water surface, the length of time it stays under the water surface are comprehensively confirmed, and the drowning risk value is calculated. When the drowning risk is high, an alarm is triggered to remind relevant personnel to rescue. There are many existing technologies for the recognition of human drowning posture and the triggering method of the alarm. For example, the automatic alarm method disclosed in the CN115761843A patent can also be used for drowning detection and alarm.

[0040] refer to Figure 7 In order to further improve the safety monitoring efforts, multiple drowning detection devices disclosed in the present invention can be placed in the swimming pool to more easily capture the situation of human drowning. The processing process is similar to Figure 6 Similarly, any drowning device that captures person B drowning will trigger an alarm.

[0041] refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 For home use, it can be used for risk detection in situations where drowning is likely to occur, such as when a child is bathing, drowsy or drunk. Considering the privacy and security of usage, this mode is limited to LAN mode only. The drowning detection alarm system determines the drowning posture, and when the main monitored person is at risk of drowning, an alarm is triggered to alert the guardian. When the drowning risk is eliminated, the drowning detection alarm system can be manually turned off.
