Description

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a system for providing person-specific emergency information, particularly in road traffic. The system comprises special markers on or in corresponding means of transport, such as a bicycle or a car, or associated objects, such as a helmet or a child seat. The markers enable rapid identification of medical information, thus increasing efficiency and safety during emergency operations.

[0002] In road traffic, the provision of emergency information plays a key role in ensuring rapid response in the event of accidents or other emergencies, especially when the injured person is unresponsive. Emergency information includes relevant data such as personal details, significant illnesses or allergies, emergency contacts, medications, and other special medical information.

[0003] The current state of the art for providing person-specific emergency information, particularly in the context of road traffic, suffers from several significant drawbacks and limitations. Emergency information is often either not carried at all or only insufficiently on the body or on personal belongings. In many cases, existing systems rely on electronic solutions such as emergency apps, digital health cards, or cloud-based services. However, these approaches require first responders or rescue workers to have access to appropriate readers, smartphones, or a stable internet connection, which is not always guaranteed, especially in emergency situations or remote areas.

[0004] Paper-based or physical emergency information, such as emergency ID cards, wallet cards, or medical tags, is often difficult to locate, can be lost, or overlooked in an emergency. Furthermore, such documents are not always weatherproof, can be damaged by moisture, dirt, or mechanical influences, and are often not clearly recognizable as emergency information. The visibility and findability of such information is thus limited, which can lead to delays in identifying and providing care to the affected person in an emergency.

[0005] Another problem is that existing physical emergency information is rarely updated and may therefore contain outdated or incomplete information. Conventional solutions also generally lack the ability to provide information in machine-readable formats or in a format that allows for quick and error-free transfer to digital systems. Furthermore, there is a lack of standardized, easily understandable, and universally applicable labeling elements that immediately signal to rescuers where relevant emergency information can be found.

[0006] Finally, existing solutions are often not flexible enough to accommodate different use cases—such as attachment to various carrier objects such as helmets, bicycles, walkers, or clothing. Adaptability to different environmental conditions (e.g., humidity, heat, cold) is also limited, further limiting the reliability and longevity of emergency information. Description of the invention

[0007] The object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a system for providing person-specific emergency information, wherein the system enables a simple, findable and reliable recording and labelling of such information, particularly in road traffic.

[0008] This problem is solved by the features listed in the claims.

[0009] The problem is solved by a system for providing person-specific emergency information, in particular for use in road traffic, comprising a first adhesive marking element and an adhesive information carrier, wherein the first adhesive marking element is provided for attachment to a carrier object and indicates a presence of the adhesive information carrier in local connection with the first adhesive marking element, wherein the adhesive information carrier is provided for receiving person-specific emergency information.

[0010] The system is specifically designed to provide quick and reliable access to important information relevant to the person in question in the event of an emergency, such as a traffic accident. To this end, the system comprises a first adhesive label element that can be affixed to a carrier object, such as a vehicle, helmet, bicycle, motorcycle, or other personal belongings. The label element serves to alert rescue workers or other helpers that an adhesive label containing relevant emergency information is located in the immediate vicinity.

[0011] The adhesive information carrier is designed to accommodate person-specific emergency information. This information includes, for example, name, date of birth, blood type, allergies, chronic illnesses, regularly taken medications, emergency contact persons, and other medically relevant information. The adhesive information carrier can be in the form of a label, card, or other suitable medium and is preferably designed to be permanently and securely attached to the carrier object. The information can be applied by hand or machine.

[0012] The first adhesive marking element is designed to be easily recognizable by third parties, especially emergency personnel, and clearly indicates the presence of the information carrier. This ensures that no time is lost searching for relevant information in an emergency, allowing optimal care to be provided to the affected person. The marking element can be identified, for example, by a striking color scheme, symbols, or pictograms that indicate its function as a reference to emergency information.

[0013] The system has a modular design and can be adapted to various applications. It is particularly suitable for use in road traffic, for example, on motor vehicles, bicycles, motorcycles, or scooters. Furthermore, the system can also be used in other areas, such as sports, outdoor activities, or in the workplace, to enable rapid access to vital information in an emergency.

[0014] The combination of a clearly visible identification element and an information carrier with person-specific emergency information increases safety for the affected person. In an emergency, rescue personnel have immediate access to the most important medical data, which speeds up initial treatment and reduces the risk of incorrect treatment. The system is easy to use and can be easily integrated into existing processes.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the first adhesive label element and / or the adhesive information carrier may comprise a waterproof adhesive. The use of a waterproof adhesive ensures that both the label element and the information carrier remain reliably adhered to the respective carrier object even upon contact with moisture, rain, or other environmental influences.

[0016] It's conceivable that the waterproof adhesive could be based on acrylate or a modified pressure-sensitive adhesive, for example, to ensure permanent and secure attachment. Alternatively, an adhesive specifically developed for outdoor use and resistant to temperature fluctuations, UV radiation, or mechanical stress could be used.

[0017] Optionally, the waterproof adhesive can be used on both the label element and the information carrier, or it can be used on just one of the two elements. This allows the system to be flexibly adapted to different requirements and applications.

[0018] Furthermore, the waterproof adhesive can be designed to be removed without leaving residue, allowing for replacement or updating of emergency information as needed. A combination of different adhesives, for example, with different adhesive strengths or special properties for certain surfaces, can also be provided.

[0019] The optional use of a waterproof adhesive increases the functionality and reliability of the system, especially in adverse weather conditions, without limiting handling or applicability.

[0020] In another possible embodiment, the first adhesive label element and / or the adhesive information carrier may comprise a temperature- and weather-resistant adhesive. Such an adhesive can help ensure that the adhesion of the respective elements remains permanent and reliable even under changing or extreme environmental conditions, such as strong temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight, frost, rain, snow, or high humidity.

[0021] The temperature- and weather-resistant adhesive can, for example, be designed to maintain its adhesive strength at both low and high temperatures. Special polymer formulations or modified pressure-sensitive adhesives optimized for outdoor use can be used for this purpose. It is also conceivable that the adhesive is resistant to UV radiation, thus preventing premature aging or embrittlement of the adhesive film.

[0022] The temperature- and weather-resistant adhesive can be used either on the marking element, the information carrier, or both. This allows the system to be flexibly adapted to different applications and requirements. For example, the system can be designed to retain its functionality even during extended outdoor use, for example on vehicles, helmets, or bicycles.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature- and weather-resistant adhesive can be combined with other properties, such as increased resistance to chemicals, abrasion, or mechanical stress. This further increases the service life and reliability of the system without compromising ease of use or the ability to replace the elements.

[0024] The optional use of a temperature- and weather-resistant adhesive makes the system for providing person-specific emergency information particularly robust and versatile.

[0025] In a further embodiment, it can be provided that the first adhesive marking element and / or the adhesive information carrier comprises a reflective element. Such a reflective element can be designed, for example, in the form of a reflective film, a print with reflective ink, or as an incorporated reflective material.

[0026] The reflective element may help increase the visibility of the marking element or information carrier in poor lighting conditions, such as at dusk, at night, or in adverse weather conditions. This can make it easier for rescuers or other responders to locate the person-specific emergency information.

[0027] The reflective element can be arranged either over the entire surface or only in parts of the marking element or information carrier. The reflective element can also be designed in the form of symbols, pictograms, stripes, or patterns to specifically draw attention to the presence of emergency information.

[0028] Alternatively, the reflective element can be combined with other functional or design features, such as a striking color scheme, a special surface texture, or additional emergency warnings. It is also conceivable to use different types of reflective materials, such as micro glass beads, prismatic films, or metallized layers, to achieve different degrees of reflection or optical effects.

[0029] Through the optional integration of a reflective element, the system for providing person-specific emergency information can be further improved in its functionality and safety without limiting its handling or adaptability to different application areas.

[0030] In another possible embodiment, the first adhesive marking element can be made of silver foil. The use of silver foil as the material for the marking element can offer various advantages. For example, silver foil is characterized by its high reflectivity, which makes the marking element particularly visible, especially when exposed to light, for example, from headlights or flashlights. This can further facilitate the identification of the marking element and thus also the information carrier in an emergency.

[0031] Furthermore, silver foil can be weather-resistant and durable, ensuring the marking element retains its functionality even after extended outdoor use. The silver foil can conceivably be designed as a self-adhesive film, allowing for easy and secure application to various substrates, such as vehicles, helmets, or bicycles. Alternatively, the silver foil can also be combined with other materials, such as a plastic or paper backing layer, to achieve additional stability or specific adhesive properties.

[0032] Furthermore, the silver foil marking element can be provided with additional functional or design features, such as printed symbols, pictograms, or lettering that indicate the presence of emergency information. It is also possible to combine the silver foil with reflective or fluorescent elements to further increase visibility under different lighting conditions.

[0033] The choice of silver foil as the material for the marking element thus represents an advantageous, but not mandatory, embodiment that can further improve the system for providing person-specific emergency information in terms of its functionality and adaptability to different areas of application.

[0034] In a further advantageous embodiment, the adhesive information carrier can be made of acetate silk. Acetate silk is a material characterized by its flexibility, tear resistance, and pleasant feel. Due to these properties, acetate silk is particularly well-suited for applications in which the information carrier is to be attached to differently shaped or movable surfaces, for example, on helmets, clothing, or other personal items.

[0035] Acetate silk can be used as the carrier material for the information carrier, enabling a permanent yet discreet application. Furthermore, acetate silk can be writable or printable, allowing personal emergency information to be permanently applied in a clearly legible form. The material can also be resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, which supports the durability and readability of the information even in adverse environmental conditions.

[0036] Alternatively, the acetate silk information carrier can be combined with additional functional layers, such as a protective film or an additional adhesive layer, to further increase resistance to mechanical stress or environmental influences.

[0037] The use of acetate silk as a material for the adhesive information carrier thus represents a particularly flexible and versatile option for adapting the system for providing person-specific emergency information to different requirements and areas of application.

[0038] In another possible embodiment, the adhesive information carrier can be writable. For example, the information carrier can be designed so that it can be individually personalized with personal emergency information using standard writing instruments such as ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, or permanent markers. This allows the user to enter relevant information such as name, date of birth, allergies, pre-existing medical conditions, or emergency contacts directly and easily onto the information carrier.

[0039] Alternatively, the information carrier can have a special surface that facilitates subsequent labeling and prevents the applied information from smudging or fading. It is also conceivable for the information carrier to be designed to be writable or even rewritable, for example, with a wipe-clean or laminated surface, allowing emergency information to be updated at any time.

[0040] Furthermore, the information carrier can be provided with preprinted fields or lines to support the structured entry of key data. Likewise, the information carrier can be designed in the form of a label, card, or sticker, which can be flexibly adapted to various carrier objects.

[0041] The ability to individually label the information carrier makes the system particularly flexible and user-friendly. This ensures that up-to-date emergency information tailored to the individual is always available, without the need for special technical aids or devices.

[0042] In another possible embodiment, the adhesive information carrier can be designed to be machine-readable. For example, the information carrier can have a machine-readable code, such as a QR code, a barcode, or a DataMatrix code, which enables the quick and error-free reading of the person-specific emergency information by suitable reading devices.

[0043] Alternatively, the information carrier can be equipped with an RFID tag or an NFC chip, allowing the stored information to be read contactlessly and automatically. This can be particularly advantageous in situations where rapid identification and information retrieval are required, for example, by emergency services or medical personnel on site.

[0044] It is also conceivable that the machine-readable information carrier, in addition to the machine-readable data, also has an area for handwritten entries or visually readable information to enable flexible use. The machine-readable design can be selected so that it is compatible with common mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, thus ensuring broad applicability.

[0045] Furthermore, it may be provided that the machine-readable information is stored encrypted or with special protection to increase data security and the protection of sensitive personal data. Likewise, the machine-readable information carrier can be designed so that it can be linked to existing digital emergency information systems or databases to enable automatic updating or supplementation of the stored data.

[0046] The optional machine-readable design of the adhesive information carrier allows the system for providing person-specific emergency information to be designed to be particularly efficient, versatile and future-proof, without restricting the possibility of individual adaptation or manual use.

[0047] In a further advantageous embodiment, the adhesive information carrier can be designed in two parts. For example, the information carrier can be configured such that a first part can be separated from a second part along defined perforation edges. These perforation edges can be designed to enable simple and clean separation of the first part from the rest of the information carrier. It is conceivable that both the first part and the second part contain the corresponding person-specific emergency information.

[0048] It is conceivable that the first part of the information carrier can be designed so that, after being detached, it can be used or converted into a bracelet. For this purpose, the first part can, for example, have a suitable length and width and be made of a flexible, skin-friendly material that is comfortable to wear on the wrist. Optionally, the first part can be provided with an adhesive surface, a snap connection, or another closure option to facilitate its use as a bracelet.

[0049] Alternatively, the second part of the information carrier can remain attached to the original carrier object, while the detached first part can be attached directly to the person in an emergency. This ensures that the person-specific emergency information is available both on the carrier object and directly on the body of the affected person.

[0050] Furthermore, the information carrier may be provided with pre-printed markings, symbols or fields that facilitate detachment and use as a wristband.

[0051] The optional two-part design of the adhesive information carrier and the option of using one part as a wristband allow the system for providing person-specific emergency information to be adapted to different situations and needs with exceptional flexibility and versatility. This can be particularly advantageous in emergencies where rapid identification and assignment of the affected person is required.

[0052] In another possible embodiment, the system for providing person-specific emergency information can additionally comprise at least one second adhesive marking element. This second adhesive marking element can, for example, be designed in the shape of an arrow or have an arrow. The use of an arrow-shaped marking element or a marking element with a printed arrow can serve to facilitate the localization of the adhesive information carrier for third parties, in particular for emergency personnel.

[0053] It is conceivable that the arrowhead of the second marking element specifically indicates the location of the information carrier, allowing quick and clear access to the stored person-specific emergency information in an emergency. The arrow shape can either be implemented as a standalone element, attached independently of the first marking element, or it can be used in combination with other information or symbols.

[0054] Alternatively, several arrow-shaped marking elements can be used to improve the visibility and findability of the information carrier from different angles. It is also possible for the second marking element to be provided in different sizes, colors, or designs to allow adaptation to different carrier objects or areas of application.

[0055] Furthermore, the arrow-shaped marking element can be combined with other functional features, such as reflective, fluorescent, or particularly eye-catching materials, to increase visibility even in poor lighting or adverse weather conditions. It is also conceivable for the arrowhead of the marking element to be provided with additional information, pictograms, or text that draw attention to the presence and significance of the information carrier.

[0056] The optional integration of a second, arrow-shaped identification element makes the system for providing person-specific emergency information even more user-friendly and effective, without limiting its flexibility or adaptability to different deployment scenarios.

[0057] In a further advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the at least one second adhesive marking element comprises a reflective element. For example, the arrow-shaped marking element can consist entirely or partially of a reflective material or be provided with a reflective layer. Alternatively, it is possible for only certain areas, such as the arrowhead or contours, to be provided with reflective film or reflective paint.

[0058] By integrating a reflective element, the visibility of the second marking element can be significantly increased, especially in poor lighting conditions, at dusk, or at night. This can help make the adhesive information carrier easier to locate even under adverse conditions. It is also conceivable that different types of reflective materials, such as micro glass beads, prismatic films, or metallized layers, could be used to achieve different degrees of reflection or optical effects.

[0059] Furthermore, the reflective element can be combined with other functional or design features, such as a striking color scheme, fluorescent components, or additional symbols. A combination of several reflective and non-reflective areas is also possible to draw attention specifically to the arrowhead or other relevant areas of the marking element.

[0060] The use of a reflective element in the second adhesive marking element represents a particularly useful, but not mandatory, embodiment that can further improve the functionality and safety of the system for providing person-specific emergency information without limiting its flexibility or adaptability to different areas of application.
