Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of police equipment technology, specifically to a smart device for quickly activating a law enforcement recorder. Background Technology

[0002] In modern law enforcement activities, body cameras are important devices for ensuring the fairness and transparency of law enforcement and providing key evidence for subsequent law enforcement procedures. They are widely used in various law enforcement scenarios such as police enforcement and inspector supervision. They can record video, audio and location information in real time during the law enforcement process, providing strong support for the objectivity and fairness of law enforcement activities.

[0003] However, current law enforcement evidence collection work faces prominent problems. First, law enforcement scenarios are often urgent and complex, and law enforcement officers, under high-intensity work pressure, often forget to turn on their body cameras, resulting in key law enforcement processes not being recorded, directly affecting subsequent case handling, liability determination, and dispute resolution. Second, the layout of the recording start button on traditional body cameras is unreasonable, with its position close to other function buttons and easily confused operating logic. Law enforcement officers are prone to accidentally pressing the wrong button during tense operations, which may interrupt normal recording or even result in the incomplete preservation of important evidence. Third, some units choose to keep the body camera recording function on throughout the entire process to avoid the risk of missing evidence. While this ensures the integrity of evidence to a certain extent, continuous recording puts a great strain on the device's battery life and memory space. Frequent battery replacements and memory clearing not only increase equipment maintenance costs but may also lead to missed opportunities for key evidence collection due to equipment malfunctions. Therefore, we propose that a smart device for quickly activating body cameras can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a smart device for quickly activating a law enforcement recorder;

[0026] Example 1: To address the frequent occurrence of forgetting to turn on the body camera during law enforcement, resulting in missing evidence and affecting subsequent handling, and the easily confused location of the recording start button which can be accidentally pressed, hindering normal recording and evidence collection, and the fact that some organizations keep the body camera recording function on throughout the entire process to avoid missing evidence, causing a serious burden on battery life and memory, the following solution is disclosed. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, it includes the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the upper cover 3 of the remote control. The bottom of the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle is provided with the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle, and a seat belt buckle body 6 is installed between the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle and the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle. The lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle and the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle are connected by snap fit. After the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle are closed, they wrap the seat belt buckle body 6, the first Bluetooth module 7, the seat belt buckle battery 12, the electrode spring pin 11 and the electrode contact FPC 10. It further includes: a seat belt buckle button 5 is installed at the rear end of the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle. A first Bluetooth module 7 is fixed on one side of the seat belt buckle body 6 between the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle, and a seat belt buckle battery 12 is installed on the other side of the seat belt buckle body 6 between the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle. Three electrode spring pins 11 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the seat belt buckle battery 12 inside the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle. An electrode contact FPC 10 is installed inside the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle. One end of the electrode spring pin 11 is in electrode contact with the seat belt buckle battery 12, and the positions of the electrode spring pins 11 and the electrode contact FPC 10 correspond to each other. Baffles 8 are provided on the outer sides of the front ends of the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle. Pin studs 9 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the left and right sides of the upper cover 1 of the seat belt buckle and the lower cover 2 of the seat belt buckle. The baffle 8 is arranged in a "C" shape, and limiting holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the baffle 8. The other ends of the pin studs 9 are slidably connected to the limiting holes on the baffle 8.

[0027] When police officers are performing duties inside the vehicle, they can use a dashcam to record images of the outside environment. The dashcam does not need to be in recording mode. When deciding to get out of the vehicle to handle the situation, the officer presses the seatbelt buckle, causing the seatbelt buckle body 6 to move and move the electrode spring 11 towards the electrode contact FPC 10, making contact with it. This allows the electrical signal of the electrode spring 11 to be transmitted through the contact point to the conductive lines of the FPC, and then through the lines to other electronic components inside the seatbelt buckle (such as the first Bluetooth module 7, control chip, etc.), realizing the transmission of signal or electrical energy. At the same time, since the first Bluetooth module 7 is connected to an external law enforcement recorder via Bluetooth, the first Bluetooth module 7 can send a command to the external law enforcement recorder, thereby activating the recording function of the law enforcement recorder based on the command, using the essential action of pressing the car seatbelt buckle as the trigger point. This device allows officers to activate the body camera recording function simultaneously with unfastening the seatbelt, effectively preventing the omission of evidence and providing a more convenient way to start recording. It allows officers to record while disembarking for emergency situations. The device can also activate the recording function of all body cameras with the same protocol and in standby mode within a 10-meter range with a single button, helping to obtain multi-directional footage and improve evidence collection.

To activate recording, press the upper buckle to unfasten the seatbelt; to deactivate recording, lift the sliding baffle 8 and press the lower buckle to unfasten the seatbelt. This prevents officers from accidentally pressing the lower buckle in an emergency, thus preventing the body camera from failing to start recording.

[0028] Example 2: Unlike Example 1, in this example, pressing the remote control button 13 causes the second Bluetooth module 15 to send a command to the external law enforcement recorder to start recording. This allows for remote control of the external law enforcement recorder, providing it with better mobility and a more convenient option for police officers to activate the recording. See details below. Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a second Bluetooth module 15 is installed between the upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4 of the remote control. The remote control button 13 is snapped into the middle of the top of the upper cover 3. The remote control battery 14 is fixedly connected inside the lower cover 4. The battery cover 16 is snapped into the opening of the battery compartment at the bottom of the upper cover 3. The upper cover 3 and the lower cover 4 are snapped together. The second Bluetooth module 15 is placed in the internal space formed by the seat belt buckle upper cover 1 and the seat belt buckle lower cover 2 to facilitate the transmission and reception of wireless signals and realize Bluetooth communication with external devices. The remote control battery 14 is placed in a dedicated battery compartment inside the lower cover 4 for easy power supply via circuit connection.

[0029] When law enforcement officers press button 13 on the remote control, the internal circuit of the device is activated, and the remote control battery 14 powers the control chip and the second Bluetooth module 15. After receiving the electrical signal from the button press, the control chip immediately encodes and converts it into a specific format instruction signal. The instruction contains key information to activate the recording function of the law enforcement recorder. After being powered on, the second Bluetooth module 15 sends the instruction to the external law enforcement recorder. After receiving the instruction signal, the external law enforcement recorder transmits it to the internal control circuit. The microprocessor in the control circuit decodes and identifies the signal. After confirming that it is an instruction to activate recording, it immediately sends a start command to the recording module. The recording module then activates components such as the image sensor and audio acquisition equipment to start recording video and audio, completing the entire process from button triggering to the law enforcement recorder activating recording. The device is available in two types: Velcro and strap, allowing for flexible installation locations such as car door handles, baton grips, and police multi-functional gloves, providing officers with good mobility and more convenient activation options.
