Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] This disclosure relates to the technical eld of operation safety protection, and more specically, to a method and an apparatus for protecting a marine operator during human-ship separation. BACKGROUND

[0002] After the power system of the ship is started, the ship can be controlled by the operator to sail. When the ship is sailing, especially the small and mediumsized ships, the operator of the ship may accidentally fall into the water to be separated from the ship. In enclosed waters or coastal waters, the person who falls into the water can swim back to the ship or wait for rescue. However, if the ship is far from the shore, when the engine of the ship continues to run to sail after the operator is separated from the ship, and the operator cannot return to the ship, the operator and the ship that continues to sail will be in danger.

[0003] At present, there is a method of using a safety rope to connect the operator to the ship to ensure the safety of the operator falling into the water, but this may limit the activities of the crew on the ship, and the operator is easily tripped by the rope. If the operator falls into the water, the ship may drag the operator while sailing at high speed. Another method is to hang a start key on the body with a rope. If the operator is separated from the ship, the operator will also take the start key away from the ship. Although this method can stop the driving force of the ship, it also limits the movement range of the operator at the same time. Overall, the safety protection measures of the existing ships for the operator falling into the water are relatively backward and low in reliability. SUMMARY

[0004] A purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method and an apparatus for protecting a marine operator during human-ship separation, which solves a technical problem that a safety protection measure of a ship for an operator falling into water is low in reliability, achieving a technical effect of effectively protecting the operator during the humanship separation.

[0008] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: in response to a fourth instruction generated according to an input on the control assembly, stopping a takeover function of the control assembly to the control authority over the power system of the ship, where priorities of the second instruction and the third instruction are higher than a priority of the fourth instruction.

[0009] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the real-time distance cannot be obtained, and after the control assembly does not receive the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction for a rst preset time period, sending, by the control assembly, positioning prompt information including a position of the ship to a target terminal, to prompt to rescue the ship and the operator, where the target terminal is prebound.

[0010] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or after the real-time distance cannot be obtained for a second preset time period, sending power system state information used to indicate a running state of the power system of the ship, and obtaining, by the positioning assembly, the running state of the power system of the ship by receiving the power system state information; and when the running state of the power system of the ship is that running is not stopped, sending, by the positioning assembly, rst prompt information used to prompt to send the second instruction.

Therefore, statements such as in an embodiment, in some embodiments, in some other embodiments, and in other embodiments that appear at different places in the specication do not necessarily mean reference to the same embodiment.

The terms include, comprise, have, and variations thereof all mean include but not limited to unless otherwise specically emphasized in another manner.

[0029] In the prior art, a safety protection measure of a ship for an operator falling into water is relatively backward and low in reliability.

[0030] Based on the above reasons, an embodiment of this disclosure provides a method for protecting a marine operator during human-ship separation. The method includes: obtaining a realtime distance from a positioning assembly worn on an operator to a control assembly; when the real-time distance is greater than a preset distance or the real-time distance cannot be obtained, endowing the control assembly with control authority over a power system of a ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to stop running, where the controlling the power system of the ship to stop running includes controlling an engine to stop rotating and lowering a sail; and in response to a rst instruction generated according to a password or a ngerprint password manually input on the control assembly, canceling the control authority of the control assembly over the power system of the ship. In the embodiment of this disclosure, a distance from the operator to the ship can be detected through a signal, and a running state of the power system of the ship is controlled according to the distance from the operator to the ship, to prevent the ship from continuing to run after being separated from the operator, thereby improving safety protection effects of the ship and the operator when the operator falls into water.

[0031] In some scenarios, the method for protecting a marine operator during humanship separation of the embodiment of this disclosure may be applied to small and medium-sized ships. When the small and medium-sized ships sail at sea, safety protection effects for the ships, captains, or operators when the captains or operators fall into water can be improved.

[0032] The method for protecting a marine operator during humanship separation provided by the embodiment of this disclosure is specically described below in combination with specic examples.

[0033] FIG. 1 is a schematic owchart of a method for protecting a marine operator during human-ship separation according to an embodiment of this disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes Sl 10 to S130, and $110 to 8130 are specically described below.

[0034] S1 10: obtaining a real-time distance from a positioning assembly worn on an operator to a control assembly.

[0035] During sailing of a ship, when the operator is on the ship, the operator is in a safe state; and when the operator is not on the ship (the operator falls into water), it is necessary to stop the ship to facilitate the self-rescue of the operator, and it is also necessary to stop the ship to ensure the safety of the ship. To obtain a state of whether the operator is on the ship, the real-time distance from the positioning assembly worn on the operator to the control assembly may be obtained in real time, and the state of the operator may be controlled according to the realtime distance.

[0036] During use, the positioning assembly may be worn on the operator, for example, on a wrist and an ankle.

[0037] During working, when the real-time distance from the positioning assembly worn on the operator to the control assembly is obtained, a communication connection may be established between the positioning assembly and the control assembly through a wireless communication technology (for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID), to transmit position information in real time. The control assembly calculates the real-time distance from the positioning assembly to the control assembly by receiving a signal sent by the positioning assembly.

[0038] S120: when the real-time distance is greater than a preset distance or the real-time distance cannot be obtained, endowing the control assembly with control authority over a power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to stop running, where the controlling the power system of the ship to stop running includes controlling an engine to stop rotating and lowering a sail.

[0039] After the real-time distance is obtained, the real-time distance may be compared with the preset distance. When the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance, it indicates that a distance from the operator to the ship is too large, and the operator may fall into water. To control the power system of the ship, the control assembly may be endowed with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and the power system of the ship may be controlled to stop running, thereby enabling the ship to stop sailing and remain at an original position.

[0040] For example, the preset distance may be 10 m, 20 m, or 30 m.

[0041] Structurally, the control assembly is disposed on the ship, and the control assembly may be connected to the power system of the ship in a coupling manner, thereby enabling a control system to control a running state of the power system of the ship.

[0042] For example, according to different types of power systems of the ship, controlling the power system of the ship to stop running includes controlling the engine to stop rotating and lowering the sail.

[0043] It Should be noted that controlling the power system of the ship to stop running also includes controlling other forms of power systems to stop running in other manners, which are not described in detail herein again.

[0044] In addition, when the real-time distance cannot be obtained, it indicates that the distance from the operator to the ship is too large, affecting signal transmission between the positioning assembly and the control assembly, and the operator may fall into water and the distance between the operator and the ship is relatively long. Similarly, to control the power system of the ship, the control assembly may be endowed with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and the power system of the ship may be controlled to stop running, thereby enabling the ship to stop sailing and remain at the original position.

[0045] S130: in response to a rst instruction generated according to a password or a ngerprint password manually input on the control assembly, canceling the control authority of the control assembly over the power system of the ship.

[0046] After the operator falls into water, and the ship is controlled to stop sailing through S120, the operator may swim back to the ship. At this time, to enable the operator to take over the ship again, the operator may manually input the password or the ngerprint password on the control assembly, and the control assembly may cancel the control authority of the control assembly over the power system of the ship in response to the rst instruction generated according to the password or the ngerprint password manually input on the control assembly, thereby enabling the operator to successfully take over the ship.

[0047] To enable the operator to take over the ship again, the operator needs to manually input the password or the ngerprint password on the control assembly to take over the ship, which can prevent other persons from taking over the ship, thereby ensuring the safety of the ship.

[0048] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that after the operator on the ship falls into water, the distance between the operator and the ship is detected, and when the distance between the operator and the ship exceeds the preset distance, the ship stops sailing, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator and the ship.

[0049] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation also lie in that after the operator returns to the ship, the operator takes over the ship again through verication, thereby ensuring the control safety of the ship.

[0050] In some implementations, in S110, the obtaining a realtime distance from a positioning assembly worn on an operator to a control assembly includes 8111 and 8112, and S111 and S112 are specically described below.

[0051] Slll: sending, by the positioning assembly, a positioning signal used to indicate a position of the positioning assembly.

[0052] When the operator is positioned, the positioning signal used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly may be sent through the positioning assembly, and then a position of the operator is recognized through the positioning signal.

[0053] For example, the positioning signal may include an infrared signal, a laser signal, and the like. The distance from the positioning assembly to the control assembly may be calculated according to propagation time and speed of the signal.

[0054] S112: receiving the positioning signal and determining the real-time distance from the positioning assembly to the control assembly according to the positioning signal by the control assembly.

[0055] When the operator is positioned, the control assembly may receive the positioning signal and determine the realtime distance from the positioning assembly to the control assembly according to the positioning signal, thereby controlling the power system of the ship according to the real-time distance.

[0056] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that the real-time distance between the positioning assembly and the control assembly can be efciently detected by collecting the signal of the positioning assembly and detecting the position of the positioning assembly, thereby improving the safety protection effect when the operator falls into water.

[0057] In some implementations, the above method further includes: in response to a second instruction sent by the positioning assembly, endowing the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to stop running. [005 8] After the operator falls into water, to further improve the reliability of controlling the power system of the ship, a method for controlling the running state of the power system of the ship may be set on the positioning assembly. [005 9] During working, the second instruction may be sent through the positioning assembly, and the control assembly may endow the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship and control the power system of the ship to stop running in response to the second instruction sent by the positioning assembly, so that the operator can control the power system of the ship to stop running through the worn positioning assembly after falling into water, thereby stopping the power system of the ship.

[0060] In some implementations, the above method further includes: in response to a third instruction sent by the positioning assembly, canceling the control authority of the control assembly over the power system of the ship.

[0061] After the operator falls into water, if there are other persons on the ship who can operate the ship for rescue, the operator needs to manually operate the positioning assembly to cancel control to the power system of the ship (for example, cancel control to the power system to stop running) at this time, to enable other persons on the ship to rescue the operator.

[0062] During working, the control authority of the control assembly over the power system of the ship may be canceled in response to the third instruction sent by the positioning assembly, so that remaining persons on the ship can drive the ship to rescue the operator falling into water.

[0063] In some implementations, the above method further includes: obtaining positioning information that is used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly and that is sent by the positioning assembly, and when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the realtime distance cannot be obtained, endowing the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0064] Structurally, a positioning module that can position the positioning assembly according to a Beidou / GP S signal may further be congured on the positioning assembly, and the positioning assembly may send the positioning information used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly, so that the position of the operator wearing the positioning assembly can be obtained through the positioning information. After the operator falls into water, when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the realtime distance cannot be obtained, it indicates that the operator has fallen into water at this time. At this time, the control assembly may be endowed with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and after the positioning information that is used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly and that is sent by the positioning assembly is obtained, the power system of the ship is controlled to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0065] For example, the power system of the ship may be equipped with an automatic operation sailing module. The ship can be controlled to sail to the position of the positioning assembly through automatic operation of the power system of the ship, so that the autonomy and safety of the ship in rescuing the operator after the operator falls into water can be improved, and the speed of rescue after the operator falls into water can be increased.

[0066] In some implementations, the above method further includes: in response to a second instruction and positioning information used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly that are sent by the positioning assembly, endowing the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0067] During use, the operator may further actively control the positioning assembly to send the second instruction and the positioning information used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly, thereby enabling the control assembly to endow the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship and control the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly in response to the second instruction and the positioning information used to indicate the position of the positioning assembly that are sent by the positioning assembly, so that the speed of rescue after the operator falls into water can be improved.

[0068] In some implementations, the above method further includes: in response to a second instruction sent by the positioning assembly and the recognized position of the positioning assembly, endowing the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0069] During working, to obtain the position of the positioning assembly, the position of the positioning assembly may further be actively recognized. The positioning assembly may send the laser signal and the infrared signal, so that a position recognition assembly on the ship may recognize the laser signal and the infrared signal that are sent by the positioning assembly, to enable the ship to recognize the position of the positioning assembly, thereby further controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0070] During working, to obtain the position of the positioning assembly, the position of the positioning assembly may also be recognized through machine vision. Specically, the position recognition assembly on the ship may determine the position of the positioning assembly in a manner of visual recognition, thereby further controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0071] In some implementations, the above method further includes: recognizing the position of the positioning assembly, and when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the real-time distance cannot be obtained, endowing the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and controlling the power system of the ship to drive the ship to sail to the position of the positioning assembly.

[0072] During working, the position of the positioning assembly may be recognized in the above manner of the laser signal, infrared signal, or visual recognition, which is not described in detail herein again.

[0073] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that the operator can control the positioning assembly to send an instruction to control the ship, endow the control assembly with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and control the power system of the ship to stop running, so that the operator can manually control the ship to stop sailing, thereby improving the safety protection effect for the ship.

[0074] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation also lie in that after the operator falls into water, if there are other persons on the ship who can operate the ship for rescue, the operator may also cancel the control of the control assembly to the ship through the positioning assembly, so that the remaining persons on the ship manipulate the ship to rescue the operator, thereby improving the safety protection effect for the operator.

[0075] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation also lie in that after the operator falls into water, the ship can automatically sail to the position of the operator autonomously, to autonomously rescue the operator. Alternatively, the operator can control the ship to automatically sail to the position of the operator by actively sending the second instruction and the positioning information, to autonomously rescue the operator, thereby improving the speed of rescue and the safety of the operator after the operator falls into water.

[0076] In another possible implementation, the method further includes: in response to a fourth instruction generated according to an input on the control assembly, stopping a takeover function of the control assembly to the control authority over the power system of the ship, where priorities of the second instruction and the third instruction are higher than a priority of the fourth instruction.

[0077] In some scenarios, a requirement that the operator falls into water and takes over the power system of the ship may not need to be detected, that is, the control assembly does not need to take over the control authority of the power system of the ship. At this time, a password or a ngerprint may be input on the control assembly, and the control assembly generates the fourth instruction according to the input password or ngerprint. The control assembly may stop the takeover function of the control assembly to the control authority over the power system of the ship in response to the fourth instruction, so that the control assembly may not take over the power system because the real-time distance between the positioning assembly and the control assembly exceeds the preset distance.

[0078] When the takeover function of the control assembly to the control authority over the power system of the ship is stopped, it may be a scenario that the operator wearing the positioning assembly leaves the ship and goes ashore when the ship is docked.

[0079] During working, the priorities of the second instruction and the third instruction are higher than the priority of the fourth instruction, so that the positioning assembly operated by the operator has higher control authority over the ship, thereby ensuring effective control to the ship by the operator and improving the safety of the ship.

[0080] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that a user can freely turn on and turn off the takeover function of the control assembly to the power system of the ship, and a requirement in a scenario that the distance between the positioning assembly and the control assembly is relatively long when the ship is docked and the operator leaves the ship can be met.

[0081] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation also lie in that the priorities of the second instruction and the third instruction are higher than the priority of the fourth instruction, thereby ensuring higher authority of the operator to the ship and improving the control safety of the ship.

[0082] In some implementations, the above method further includes: when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the real-time distance cannot be obtained, and after the control assembly does not receive the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction for a rst preset time period, sending, by the control assembly, positioning prompt information including a position of the ship to a target terminal, to prompt to rescue the ship and the operator, where the target terminal is pre-bound.

[0083] During working, if the real-time distance between the control assembly and the positioning assembly is too large or the realtime distance cannot be obtained, that is, when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or the realtime distance cannot be obtained, it indicates that the operator has fallen into water. According to the description in the above method, the control assembly may receive the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction. The rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction indicate that the operator or the remaining persons on the ship take measures to rescue the operator. However, when the control assembly does not receive the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction for the rst preset time period, it indicates that the operator is not rescued in the rst preset time period. At this time, the positioning prompt information including the position of the ship may be sent to the target terminal through the control assembly. The positioning prompt information is used to prompt to rescue the ship and the operator, to obtain external help to rescue the operator.

[0084] For example, the preset time period may be 1 min, 3 min, or 5 min.

[0085] For example, the target terminal is pre-bound, and the target terminal may be a rescue emergency terminal of another ship or a coastal lifesaving device. By receiving the positioning prompt information through the target terminal, the position of the ship where the operator falls into water can be accurately indicated, and it is prompted to rescue the operator.

[0086] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that after the operator falls into water, by detecting receiving states of the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction, if the rst instruction, the second instruction, and the third instruction are not received in preset time, the external help is obtained to rescue the operator, thereby improving the safety protection effect for the operator.

[0087] In some implementations, the above method further includes S210 and S220, and S210 and S220 are specically described below.

[0088] S210: when the real-time distance is greater than the preset distance or after the real- time distance cannot be obtained for a second preset time period, sending power system state information used to indicate a running state of the power system of the ship, and obtaining, by the positioning assembly, the running state of the power system of the ship by receiving the power system state information.

[0089] According to the above method, through steps in S120, the control assembly may be endowed with the control authority over the power system of the ship, and the power system of the ship may be controlled to stop running to protect the ship. To further monitor a safe state of the ship, the state information of the power system of the ship may be sent to the positioning assembly through the control assembly, so that the operator can obtain the running state of the power system of the ship.

[0090] After the operator falls into water, when the realtime distance is greater than the preset distance or after the realtime distance cannot be obtained for the second preset time period, the power system state information used to indicate the running state of the power system of the ship may be sent, and the positioning assembly can receive the power system state information, so that the positioning assembly can obtain a state of the power system of the ship according to the power system state information, thereby taking other measures to improve the safety of the ship and the operator.

[0091] During working, the control assembly sends the power system state information used to indicate the running state of the power system of the ship through broadcasting, and the positioning assembly obtains the running state of the power system of the ship by receiving the power system state information.

[0092] For example, the second preset time period may be 3 min, 5 min, or 8 min.

[0093] S220: when the running state of the power system of the ship is that running is not stopped, sending, by the positioning assembly, rst prompt information used to prompt to send the second instruction.

[0094] After the positioning assembly receives and decodes the power system state information used to indicate the running state of the power system of the ship, if the running state of the power system of the ship is that the running is not stopped, it indicates that after the operator falls into water for the second preset time period, the ship does not control the power system to stop running through the steps in S120. The rst prompt information used to prompt to send the second instruction may be sent through the positioning assembly, to further prompt the operator to send the second instruction through the positioning assembly to control the power system of the ship to stop running, thereby effectively controlling the system of the ship.

[0095] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that the information used to indicate the running state of the power system of the ship is sent to the positioning assembly through the control assembly, so that the operator can further take measures to control the power system of the ship to stop running, thereby improving the reliability of safety protection for the ship.

[0096] In some implementations, the above method further includes: after the real-time distance cannot be obtained for the second preset time period, turning off an auxiliary electrical device on the ship, increasing power of a signal receiver on the ship from basic receiving power to target receiving power, and increasing power of a signal transmitter on the ship from basic transmitting power to target transmitting power, where the signal transmitter is used to transmit the power system state information.

[0097] To further ensure the reliability of controlling the ship by the operator, when the operator on the ship falls into water, signal transmitting power and signal receiving power may be increased to receive the signal of the positioning assembly worn on the operator.

[0098] During working, after the real-time distance cannot be obtained for the second preset time period, the auxiliary electrical device on the ship may be turned off, thereby increasing the signal receiving power and the signal transmitting power that can be provided by the ship. Then the power of the signal receiver on the ship is increased from the basic receiving power to the target receiving power, to ensure that the ship can receive the second instruction and the third instruction that are sent by the positioning assembly, thereby improving the control safety of the ship.

[0099] At the same time, the power of the signal transmitter on the ship may be increased from the basic transmitting power to the target transmitting power, to ensure that the ship can successfully send the power system state information to the positioning assembly, thereby improving the reliability of the ship for a control feedback of controlling the ship by the operator.

[0100] The signal transmitter is used to transmit the power system state information, and a control effect of the ship can be improved by increasing the power of the signal transmitter.

[0101] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that after the realtime distance cannot be obtained for the second preset time period, signal intensity of communication between the control assembly and the positioning assembly is further improved, so that the control reliability of the ship is improved, thereby further improving the safety of the ship and the operator.

[0102] In some implementations, the above method further includes: after the second instruction is received, restoring the power of the signal receiver on the ship from the target receiving power to the basic receiving power, and restoring the power of the signal transmitter on the ship from the target transmitting power to the basic transmitting power.

[0103] After the signal intensity is increased to enable the control assembly to successfully receive the second instruction, the ship has stopped the running of the power system under the control of the second instruction at this time, and electric energy of the ship may be saved at this time. The power of the signal receiver on the ship is restored from the target receiving power to the basic receiving power, and the power of the signal transmitter on the ship is restored from the target transmitting power to the basic transmitting power, so that it can be ensured that there is sufcient electric energy during subsequent use of the ship.

[0104] Benecial effects brought by the above implementation lie in that after the signal intensity is increased to ensure that the ship is stopped, it can be ensured that there is sufcient electric energy during use of the ship by reducing the signal intensity of the ship, thereby improving use experience of the ship.
