[0027] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features within these embodiments may be combined with one another, unless they conflict.

[0028] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0029] See also Figure 1-12 In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the present invention provides an emergency call device, including a shell and a wireless button 10. The shell is provided with a button component 9. The shell is provided with a main control MCU3, a millimeter wave radar 5, a communication module 2, a local voice component 8, a signal processing circuit 4, a storage module 7, and a buzzer 6. The millimeter wave radar 5 is connected to the signal processing circuit 4, and the signal processing circuit 4 is connected to the main control MCU3. The signal processing circuit 4 is used to receive radar signals and process the radar signals, and transmit the processed radar signals to the main control MCU3. The main control MCU3 is respectively connected to the local voice component 8, communication module 2, button component 9, storage module 7, and buzzer 6. The main control MCU3 is respectively connected to the wireless button 10 and the background server 1 through the communication module 2.

[0030] Specifically, the emergency call device provided in the present application is mainly fixed in indoor places where the elderly often move, and its wireless button 10 is carried by the elderly. It has the functions of active alarm and passive alarm. Its active alarm function means that when the elderly themselves feel unwell, they can press the wireless button 10 or press the button component 9 on the shell to trigger the call device alarm. It can also recognize the voice commands issued by the elderly, such as "help", through the local voice component 8 to trigger the call device alarm. Its passive alarm function means that continuous frequency modulated continuous waves (FMCW-Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) or pulse waves are emitted to a preset area through the millimeter wave radar 5. These waves propagate in the air and eventually reach the human body. When the electromagnetic waves encounter the human body, especially the chest and abdominal areas, they will be reflected back. Any slight movement of the human body will cause the phase and amplitude of the reflected signal to change. For example, the slight expansion and contraction of the chest and abdomen caused by the human heartbeat and breathing will cause a slight change in the frequency of the reflected signal. The difference in heartbeat and breathing frequency means that they will produce different Doppler frequencies in the reflected signal. When the reflected signal is received by the millimeter wave radar 5, it is transmitted to the signal processing circuit 4, which performs mixing, amplification, filtering and digital processing of the reflected signal in turn. After receiving the processed signal, the main control MCU3 performs abnormality identification and activates the buzzer 6 to alarm when the human body is in an abnormal state, such as "long-term lack of life activity" or "long-term stay in place", and sends the alarm information to the background server 1 through the communication module 2 for alarm.

[0031] It should be noted that the method by which the main control MCU3 identifies abnormalities in the processed millimeter-wave radar 5 signal is an existing technology in this field, and this application does not involve improvements in the direction of the software algorithm.

[0032] In one possible implementation, when an elderly person is in an indoor place where no distress call device is placed, he or she can alarm by pressing the wireless button 10 carried with him or her, without having to move to a room where the distress call device is placed, thereby further improving the convenience of use.

[0033] When the elderly are in an indoor place where the housing of the caller is placed, they can alarm by pressing the wireless button 10 they carry with them, or they can trigger the caller to alarm by pressing the button assembly 9 on the housing.

[0034] In one possible embodiment, the main control MCU3 adopts a single-chip microcomputer with the model of STM32F103C8T6. The 40th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the local voice component 8, the 14th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the button component 9, the 46th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the buzzer 6, the 10th, 11th, 15th, 18th and 19th pins of the main control MCU3 are respectively connected to the signal processing circuit 4, and the 21st and 22nd pins of the main control MCU3 are electrically connected to the millimeter wave radar 5. It should be noted that the connection methods listed above are only part of the pin connection relationships. The model of the main control MCU3 can be used to know that the connection structure of the main control MCU3 pins and other components is common knowledge for those skilled in the art, and this embodiment will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0035] In one possible embodiment, the communication module 2 includes a 4G unit and a WIFI unit, the 20th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 4G unit, and the 39th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the WIFI unit, and a signal connection is established with the wireless button 10 through the WIFI unit. Specifically, its 4G unit is used to send alarm information to the background server 1, and the WIFI unit is used to establish a signal connection relationship with the wireless button 10.

[0036] In one possible embodiment, the storage module 7 includes a storage chip U2 and a storage chip U3, the 25th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 1st pin of the storage chip U2, the 27th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 2nd pin of the storage chip U2, the 26th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 6th pin of the storage chip U2, and the 28th pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 5th pin of the storage chip U2; the 42nd pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 6th pin of the storage chip U3, and the 43rd pin of the main control MCU3 is electrically connected to the 5th pin of the storage chip U3. Similarly, the connection methods listed above are only the connection relationships between some of the pins of the storage chip U2 and the storage chip U3 and the main control MCU3. Specifically, the storage chip U2 is used to store the radar wave data output by the signal processing circuit 4, and the storage chip U3 is used to store the abnormality recognition results output by the main control MCU3.

[0037] Furthermore, the model of the memory chip U2 is W25Q64JVSSIQ, and the model of the memory chip U3 is MB85RC04V.

[0038] In one possible embodiment, the local voice component 8 includes a voice recognition chip U4, a speaker and a microphone. The model of the voice recognition chip U4 is SU03-T. The microphone is connected to the voice recognition chip. The voice recognition chip obtains and recognizes the voice signal from the microphone and sends the recognition result to the main control MCU3. The main control MCU3 is connected to the microphone.

[0039] When the elderly person issues a voice command such as "help", the microphone receives the above voice command and converts the voice command into a corresponding electrical signal. The voice recognition core U4 recognizes the electrical signal and sends the recognition result to the main control MCU3. The main control MCU3 starts the speaker to play the alarm voice based on the above recognition result, for example, plays the "help" voice. At the same time, the main control MCU3 starts the buzzer 6 to sound an alarm, and sends the alarm information to the background server 1 through the communication module 2 for alarm, which is convenient for children to remotely monitor.

[0040] In a possible embodiment, the button assembly 9 includes an emergency alarm call button switch, and the emergency alarm call button switch has a diameter greater than one centimeter and is red, thereby making it easier for the elderly to distinguish.

[0041] It should be noted that the main control MCU3, millimeter wave radar 5, buzzer 6, 4G unit, WIFI unit, wireless button 10 and other components used in this application are all existing electronic components in this field. Those skilled in the art can understand the circuit structure of the main control MCU3, millimeter wave radar 5, buzzer 6, 4G unit, WIFI unit, wireless button 10 and other electronic components and the circuit connection structure between each other based on the existing public technical knowledge and technical information. The embodiment of this application will not elaborate on this, and those skilled in the art can freely choose the corresponding model according to their needs. This embodiment does not make any specific restrictions here.
