Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a monitoring system, and more particularly to a monitoring system that combines physiological sensing and fire sensing. Prior Technology

[0002] Fire safety equipment is one of the most important pieces of equipment for protecting life and property. Common fire safety equipment includes elevators, air conditioning systems, water supply systems, and power supply systems used daily in buildings. Failure of these systems can lead to potential dangers. When a fire occurs in a building, high temperatures, dense smoke, and toxic gases gradually increase, resulting in very poor visibility. Trapped individuals and firefighters are easily disoriented in the harsh fire environment, leading to numerous cases of death or injury.

[0003] Smoke detectors are common fire alarm devices in buildings, but they cannot detect trapped people. Infrared detectors can detect human body temperature, but the high temperatures in a fire environment affect their accuracy, and infrared light is blocked by smoke, making them unsuitable for detecting living organisms in a fire. Light detectors and cameras are easily affected by light and shadow and cannot penetrate smoke. Furthermore, millimeter-wave radar is a long-range detection technology that can detect objects in low-light environments and penetrate barriers such as clouds, fog, and rain. However, millimeter-wave radar consumes a lot of power during long-term operation, which is a drawback.

[0004] Generally, when there are no people in need of rescue in a fire, firefighters mainly focus on preventing the fire from spreading or extinguishing it. However, when there are people in need of rescue in a fire, the fire commander will determine whether it is necessary to enter the fire to carry out rescue operations. However, existing fire warning devices can only detect fires and cannot determine whether there are people in need of rescue in the fire. If we try to find out whether there are still people trapped in the fire from the accounts of those who have already been rescued, not only is the information unclear, but smoke and high temperatures spread very quickly, and it may be too late to carry out another search and rescue operation, which will also increase the danger to firefighters.

[0005] Although buildings are equipped with fixed fire alarms, existing fire alarm display panels are mostly indicator lights, meaning each fire alarm is marked with a single light and accompanied by text indicating its location on a specific floor and in a specific area. Management personnel must be familiar with the building's structure to report the status and location of the fixed fire alarms; the average person cannot intuitively discern the location of a fire. Furthermore, the number of fire alarms is limited, leaving areas without them undetected for early warning of fires. This results in incomplete fire detection and increases the risk of firefighters entering dangerous areas during fire rescue operations.

[0006] In addition, when a building catches fire, the conditions inside the building can be very bad. Firefighters may not be able to tell whether the road ahead is safe due to smoke, light, corners, going downstairs, or obstacles. Even areas that have already been traversed may become very bad in a short time. Furthermore, hot air and thick smoke may float on the ceiling in the early stages of a fire, making them difficult to detect. If firefighters misjudge the situation, the chances of being trapped will increase significantly.

[0007] As can be seen from the above explanation, existing fire early warning technologies have the following drawbacks:

[0008] 1. Unable to detect people trapped in the fire: Conventional biological detectors cannot penetrate smoke for detection. Although radar detection technology can penetrate clouds and fog to detect distant objects, radar consumes a lot of power, making it difficult to meet the need for all-weather biological detection in fires. This makes it difficult to apply radar detection technology to fire scenes. In addition, existing fire early warning technologies cannot detect people trapped in fire scenes.

[0009] II. Unable to simulate fire conditions: Existing fire alarm display technology mainly uses display lights to indicate the location of fire alarm devices by marking floors and areas. Managers must be familiar with the building structure to report the location of fixed fire alarm devices to others. Ordinary people cannot intuitively see the location of a fire.

[0010] 3. The condition of the fire in the building cannot be determined: When a fire breaks out inside a building, the internal environment can be extremely dangerous. Firefighters may not be able to determine the safety of the path ahead due to smoke, light, corners, stairs, or obstacles. Even areas they have already passed through can quickly become dangerous. If firefighters rush forward, they risk getting trapped. Therefore, current technology makes it difficult for firefighters to assess the fire situation inside a building.

[0011] Therefore, designing a fire early warning system that can detect trapped personnel, present the fire situation more intuitively and clearly, and help firefighters determine the fire situation in the target area is a goal that relevant technical personnel urgently need to strive for. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a monitoring system that combines physiological sensing and fire sensing, the monitoring system comprising at least one first detection unit and an integration unit.

[0013] The first detection unit includes a first detection control module, a first radar detection module connected to the first detection control module, a first fire detection module connected to the first detection control module, and a first detection transmission module connected to the first detection control module. The first detection control module includes a first physiological analysis component connected to the first radar detection module and a first radar switch component connected to the first radar detection module. The first fire detection module is used to detect whether a fire has occurred in the environment. When no fire is detected, the first fire detection module outputs standby information; when a fire is detected, the first fire detection module outputs fire information. The first radar detection module is used to transmit... The system receives radar waves capable of penetrating smoke and acquires first radar detection data. The first physiological analysis component is used to identify whether a first biological physiological characteristic exists in the first radar detection data. When the first biological physiological characteristic is not present in the first radar detection data, the first physiological analysis component outputs "no trapped" information. When the first biological physiological characteristic is present in the first radar detection data, the first physiological analysis component outputs "trapped" information. The first radar switch component is used to turn the first radar detection module on or off. The first detection control module controls the first radar switch component based on the detection data of the first fire detection module. The first detection transmission module is used to transmit the output data of the first detection control module to the outside world.

[0014] The integration unit includes a data integration module connected to the first detection and transmission module, a field map module connected to the data integration module, and an integration output module connected to the data integration module. The data integration module is used to integrate the output data of the first detection and control module. The field map module stores field map data and at least one first detection location data located in the field map data. The first detection location data is the setting location of the first detection unit. The integration output module integrates the output data of the first detection and control module into the field map data and outputs it externally.

[0015] When the first fire detection module outputs the standby information, the first detection control module controls the first radar switch assembly to turn off the first radar detection module. When the first fire detection module outputs the fire information, the first detection control module controls the first radar switch assembly to turn on the first radar detection module. When the first fire detection module outputs the fire information and the first physiological analysis component outputs the "no trapped" information, the first detection control module outputs a first-level alarm. When the first fire detection module outputs the fire information and the first physiological analysis component outputs the "trapped" information, the first detection control module outputs a second-level alarm.

[0016] In one embodiment, the first radar detection module includes a first radar power adjustment component connected to the first fire detection module. The first radar power adjustment component is used to adjust the output power of the first radar detection module. The first detection control module includes a first environmental analysis component connected to the first radar detection module. The first environmental analysis component is used to identify whether a first environmental object feature exists in the first radar detection data. When the first environmental object feature does not exist in the first radar detection data, the first detection control module controls the first radar power adjustment component to increase the output power of the first radar detection module. When the first environmental object feature exists in the first radar detection data, the first detection control module controls the first radar power adjustment component to decrease the output power of the first radar detection module.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first fire detection module includes a first smoke detection component, which stores a first smoke judgment parameter. When the detection data of the first smoke detection component matches the first smoke judgment parameter, the first fire detection module outputs the fire information to the first detection control module.

[0018] In one embodiment, the first fire detection module includes a first temperature detection component, which stores a first high temperature judgment parameter. When the detection data of the first temperature detection component matches the first high temperature judgment parameter, the first fire detection module outputs the fire information to the first detection control module.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first fire detection module includes a first flame detection component, which stores a first flame judgment parameter. When the detection data of the first flame detection component matches the first flame judgment parameter, the first fire detection module outputs the fire information to the first detection control module.

[0020] In one embodiment, the monitoring system combining physiological sensing and fire sensing further includes at least one second detection unit. The second detection unit includes a second information aggregation module, at least one second detection control module connected to the second information aggregation module, a second radar detection module connected to the second detection control module, a second fire detection module connected to the second detection control module, and a second detection transmission module connected to the second detection control module. The second fire detection module is used to detect whether a fire has occurred in the environment, and the second radar detection module is used to transmit and receive signals. The radar wave is capable of penetrating smoke and acquiring a second radar detection data. The second detection control module has a second physiological analysis component connected to the second radar detection module. The second physiological analysis component is used to identify whether a second biological physiological characteristic exists in the second radar detection data. The second information aggregation module is connected to the second detection transmission module and the data integration module respectively. The second detection transmission module is used to output the output data of the second detection control module. The second information aggregation module integrates the detection data of the second detection control module and transmits it to the data integration module.

[0021] In one embodiment, the integration unit further includes a second positioning module connected to the data integration module. The second detection transmission module is informationally connected to the first detection transmission module. The second detection control module obtains the first detection transmission module connected to the second detection transmission module and transmits it to the second positioning module. The second positioning module locates the second detection unit in the field map data based on the first detection transmission module connected to the second detection transmission module.

[0022] In one embodiment, the integration unit further includes a stereoscopic display module connected to the integration output module. The stereoscopic display module displays the field map data and marks the output data of the first detection control module and the second detection control module in the field map data. The integration output module has a synchronization output component that is informationally connected to the second information aggregation module. The synchronization output component transmits the output data of the integration output module to the second information aggregation module so that the integration output module and the second information aggregation module can output data synchronously.

[0023] In one embodiment, the second detection unit further includes a second protective housing and a buffer protective sleeve disposed on the second protective housing, and the second detection control module, the second radar detection module, the second fire detection module, and the second detection transmission module are housed in the second protective housing.

[0024] In one embodiment, the second detection unit further includes an adhesive disposed on the buffer protective sleeve, which can be attached to an object or a human body.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the first radar switch assembly can activate the first radar detection module as needed, effectively managing power usage. It can detect living organisms during fires in ordinary buildings, and the first radar detection module has the function of penetrating smoke to detect objects. Combined with the first physiological analysis component, it achieves the effect of penetrating smoke to detect trapped personnel. When the integrated output module outputs a first-level alarm, it indicates that no trapped personnel have been detected, and firefighters do not need to enter the fire scene; firefighters will not be trapped. When the integrated output module outputs a second-level alarm, it indicates that trapped personnel have been detected and their location has been marked. Firefighters can then enter the fire scene for rescue as needed. Because the location of the trapped personnel is clearly marked, firefighters can conduct rescues quickly, and the chance of firefighters being trapped in the fire scene is reduced. The second detection unit is carried by firefighters for use when entering a fire scene. Since the high-temperature smoke in a fire scene will float on the ceiling, the adhesive is sticky. Firefighters can throw the second protective shell onto the ceiling or wall. It can not only detect the environmental conditions of the target area, but also leave the second protective shell in place to ensure that the environmental conditions of the target area can be confirmed on the return trip.

Implementation

[0027] The features and technical content of the related patent applications of this invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of one embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3, which illustrate one embodiment of a monitoring system combining physiological sensing and fire sensing according to the present invention. The monitoring system combining physiological sensing and fire sensing includes at least one first detection unit 3, an integration unit 4 and at least one second detection unit 5.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4. The first detection unit 3 is set in a building 21. The number of fixed detection units should be based on the actual building structure. One unit can also be set, but it should not be limited to this.

[0030] The first detection unit 3 includes a first detection control module 31, a first radar detection module 32 connected to the first detection control module 31, a first fire detection module 33 connected to the first detection control module 31, and a first detection transmission module 34 connected to the first detection control module 31.

[0031] The integration unit 4 includes a data integration module 41 connected to the first detection and transmission module 34, a field map module 42 connected to the data integration module 41, an integration output module 43 connected to the data integration module 41, a second positioning module 44 connected to the data integration module 41, and a stereoscopic display module 45 connected to the integration output module 43.

[0032] The second detection unit 5 includes a second information aggregation module 51, at least one second detection control module 52 connected to the second information aggregation module 51, a second radar detection module 53 connected to the second detection control module 52, a second fire detection module 54 connected to the second detection control module 52, and a second detection transmission module 55 connected to the second detection control module 52.

[0033] The first detection unit 3 is installed on the ceiling of the building 21. The first detection control module 31 and the second detection control module 52 are microcontrollers. The first detection control module 31 has a first physiological analysis component 311 connected to the first radar detection module 32, a first radar switch component 312 connected to the first radar detection module 32, and a first environmental analysis component 313 connected to the first radar detection module 32. The first physiological analysis component 311 and the first environmental analysis component 313 are logic circuits in the first detection control module 31, and the first radar switch component 312 is a switching element in the first detection control module 31. The second detection control module 52 has a second physiological analysis component 521 connected to the second radar detection module 53. The second physiological analysis component 521 is a logic circuit in the second radar detection module 53.

[0034] The first radar detection module 32 is used to emit and receive radar waves capable of penetrating the smoke 22 and obtain first radar detection data. The second radar detection module 53 is used to emit and receive radar waves capable of penetrating the smoke 22 and obtain second radar detection data. In this embodiment, the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module 53 are millimeter-wave radar devices. In human body sensing applications, infrared or ultrasonic technologies are often used, but the sensing accuracy is low and they are easily affected by environmental interference. Millimeter-wave radar combines the advantages of microwave radar and photoelectric radar, and has the characteristics of small size, light weight, and strong anti-interference ability.

[0035] In a smoke-filled environment, millimeter-wave radar can operate at distances ranging from a few centimeters to hundreds of meters, functioning even without direct line of sight (e.g., through plasterboard, plywood, or smoke from a fire), and is highly adaptable to environmental conditions (such as darkness). Therefore, millimeter-wave radar has been widely used in vehicle detection technology.

[0036] In recent years, millimeter wave research has also been applied to the biomedical field, such as biomedical imaging: by using millimeter wave imaging systems to detect changes in the evoked and conductive rates of tissues, non-invasive imaging of human tissues and organs can be achieved; and vital sign detection and monitoring: by detecting minute changes on the skin surface, remote monitoring of vital signs such as heartbeat and respiration can be achieved, which is suitable for monitoring the vital signs of newborns, the elderly, etc.

[0037] This invention proposes a monitoring system combining physiological sensing and fire sensing. When a fire occurs, a first radar detection module 32 equipped with millimeter-wave radar can accurately and stably provide information on the physiological state, number, and location of people indoors. This information is crucial for firefighters 24 in rescue operations and can also monitor the location of living organisms in real time, helping firefighters 24 to conduct rapid and effective search and rescue. In addition, the first radar detection module 32 can also sense the physiological state of the human body, such as respiratory rate and heart rate, providing valuable information for assessing the health status of trapped individuals and helping to prioritize cases requiring rapid rescue. For example, people with the first physiological characteristic can be moved first, and those without the first physiological characteristic can be moved only if there is sufficient capacity, avoiding waste of firefighter manpower.

[0038] The physiological radar sensing of the first radar detection module 32 can further distinguish between people and other inorganic objects, helping to eliminate false alarms and ensure the accuracy of search and rescue operations. It provides valuable real-time information at the fire scene, enabling firefighters 24 to locate trapped individuals more quickly and accurately, thus improving search and rescue efficiency. Furthermore, it allows commanders to remotely monitor the fire scene, facilitating the development of more effective search and rescue strategies. Even in the absence of a fire, the first detection unit 3 of the first radar detection module 32 can continuously provide real-time location and activity data of people inside the building 21, as well as collect physiological data such as heart rate and respiration. This helps in real-time monitoring of the health status of people inside the building 21, providing valuable health monitoring tools for medical institutions, nursing homes, and other similar facilities, thus aiding in personnel health and safety monitoring.

[0039] The first fire detection module 33 and the second fire detection module 54 are used to detect whether a fire has occurred in the environment. When no fire has occurred in the detected environment, the first fire detection module 33 or the second fire detection module 54 outputs standby information. When a fire has occurred in the detected environment, the first fire detection module 33 or the second fire detection module 54 outputs fire information. In this embodiment, the first fire detection module 33 includes a first smoke detection component 331 for detecting smoke 22 in the air, a first temperature detection component 332 for detecting air temperature, and a component for detecting smoke in the area. The first flame detection component 333 is used to detect the fire source. The second fire detection module 54 includes a second smoke detection component 541 for detecting smoke 22 in the air, a second temperature detection component 542 for detecting air temperature, and a second flame detection component 543 for detecting fire sources in the area. The second smoke detection component 541 is the same component as the first smoke detection component 331, the second temperature detection component 542 is the same component as the first temperature detection component 332, and the second flame detection component 543 is the same component as the first flame detection component 333. Further details will not be provided here. In actual implementation, other fire detection devices can also be installed in the first fire detection module 33 and the second fire detection module 54; this should not be considered a limitation.

[0040] The first smoke detection component 331 can detect smoke 22 in the air, which is similar to existing smoke detectors. However, in this embodiment, the first smoke detection component 331 stores a first smoke judgment parameter. When the detection data of the first smoke detection component 331 matches the first smoke judgment parameter, the first fire detection module 33 outputs the fire information to the first detection control module 31. For example, when there is no smoke 22, the detection value of the first smoke detection component 331 is 0; when smoke 22 completely obscures the first smoke detection component 331, the detection value is 100. The set value of the first smoke judgment parameter is greater than 25. When the detection data of the first smoke detection component 331 meets the first smoke judgment parameter (greater than 25), the first fire detection module 33 outputs the fire information to the first detection control module 31. When the detection data of the first smoke detection component 331 does not meet the first smoke judgment parameter (less than 25), the first fire detection module 33 outputs the standby information to the first detection control module 31. In some embodiments, the first smoke detection component 331 further incorporates carbon dioxide detection technology to detect carbon dioxide in the air.

[0041] The first temperature detection component 332 is an infrared temperature detector capable of detecting temperature, but is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the first temperature detection component 332 stores a first high temperature judgment parameter. When the detection data of the first temperature detection component 332 meets the first high temperature judgment parameter, the first fire detection module 33 outputs the fire information to the first detection control module 31. For example, the set value of the first high temperature judgment parameter is greater than 70°C. When the detection data of the first temperature detection component 332 meets the first high temperature judgment parameter (greater than 70°C), the first fire detection module 33 outputs the fire information to the first detection control module 31. When the detection data of the first temperature detection component 332 does not meet the first high temperature judgment parameter (less than 70°C), the first fire detection module 33 outputs the standby information to the first detection control module 31.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first flame detection component 333 mainly consists of a camera and an image analysis circuit. The camera captures images, and the image analysis circuit analyzes the captured images. When the image analysis circuit detects a fire source in the image, it outputs a warning. In actual implementation, the first flame detection component 333 can also use other technologies that can detect fire sources, and should not be limited thereto. The first flame detection component 333 stores a first flame judgment parameter, which is a judgment condition in the image analysis circuit of the first flame detection component 333. When the detection data of the first flame detection component 333 matches the first flame judgment parameter, the first fire detection module 33 outputs fire information to the first detection control module 31. For example, when the first flame detection component 333 determines that a fire source appears in the captured image based on the first flame judgment parameter, that is, when the detection data of the first flame detection component 333 matches the first flame judgment parameter, the first fire detection module 33 outputs fire information to the first detection control module 31. When the first flame detection component 333 determines that there is no fire source in the captured image based on the first flame judgment parameter, that is, when the detection data of the first flame detection component 333 does not match the first flame judgment parameter, the first fire detection module 33 outputs the standby information to the first detection control module 31.

[0043] The first detection and transmission module 34 is a circuit module for transmitting data. In this embodiment, the data transmission technology of the first detection and transmission module 34 uses wireless transmission technology (such as Wi-Fi or 5G transmission technology) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enable the first detection and transmission module 34 to transmit data with the data integration module 41. In some embodiments, the data transmission technology of the first detection and transmission module 34 uses wired transmission technology.

[0044] The second information aggregation module 51 and the second detection and transmission module 55 are circuit modules capable of transmitting data. In this embodiment, the second information aggregation module 51 is a smart mobile device with a screen held by firefighters 24, but this is not a limitation. In some embodiments, the second detection unit 5 can be a handheld device related to the fire protection system in the management room, which is then handed over to firefighters 24 in the event of a disaster. In this embodiment, the data transmission technology between the second information aggregation module 51 and the second detection and transmission module 55 uses wireless transmission technology (such as Wi-Fi or 5G transmission technology) and Internet of Things (IoT) technology, but this is not a limitation. The second information aggregation module 51 is informationally connected to the second detection and transmission module 55 and the data integration module 41, respectively. The second detection and transmission module 55 is used to output the output data of the second detection and control module 52. The second information aggregation module 51 integrates the data from multiple second detection and control modules 52 before transmitting it to the data integration module 41.

[0045] The integration unit 4 is a computer device located on the network. In this embodiment, the integration unit 4 is a disaster prevention and control computer located in the management room, but it is not limited thereto. The data integration module 41, the synchronization output component 431, the second positioning module 44, and the stereoscopic display module 45 are logic circuits in the computer device. The field map module 42 is the database in the computer device. The integration output module 43 is the logic circuit, output circuit, display screen, etc. in the computer device.

[0046] The first radar switch assembly 312 is used to turn the power supply or function of the first radar detection module 32 on or off. The first detection control module 31 controls the first radar switch assembly 312 based on the detection data of the first fire detection module 33. When the first fire detection module 33 outputs the standby information, the first detection control module 31 controls the first radar switch assembly 312 to turn off the first radar detection module 32, thus saving power by not operating the first radar detection module 32. When the first fire detection module 33 outputs the fire information, the first detection control module 31 controls the first radar switch assembly 312 to turn on the first radar detection module 32 to scan the area with radar.

[0047] Since the primary purpose of the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module 53 is to detect trapped personnel 23 in a fire, they do not need to be turned on when no fire occurs. Furthermore, since the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module 53 are highly energy-intensive electronic devices, turning off their power when not in use can significantly reduce their power consumption, avoiding energy waste and facilitating all-weather fire detection. In some embodiments, the first detection unit 3 uses mains power, allowing it to be turned on 24 / 7, but this wastes a significant amount of power. In some embodiments, the first detection unit 3 uses a battery or a hybrid power source of battery and mains power. The first detection control module 31 controls the first radar detection module 32 through the first radar switch assembly 312, which avoids unnecessary power waste and eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements.

[0048] The first physiological analysis component 311 is used to identify whether a first biological physiological characteristic exists in the first radar detection data, and the second physiological analysis component 521 is used to identify whether a second biological physiological characteristic exists in the second radar detection data. The first physiological analysis component 311 not only analyzes whether there is a moving object in the first radar detection data, but also analyzes whether the first radar detection data has the first biological physiological characteristics such as heartbeat and respiration. When the first biological physiological characteristic is not found in the first radar detection data, the first physiological analysis component 311 outputs "no trapped" information; when the first biological physiological characteristic is found in the first radar detection data, the first physiological analysis component 311 outputs "trapped" information. The second physiological analysis component 521 has the same function as the first physiological analysis component 311, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] When the first fire detection module 33 outputs fire information and the first physiological analysis component 311 outputs no trapped information, the first detection control module 31 outputs a first-level alarm. When the first fire detection module 33 outputs fire information and the first physiological analysis component 311 outputs trapped information, the first detection control module 31 outputs a second-level alarm. This invention uses the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module 53 to scan the area with radar capable of penetrating smoke 22, and then uses the first physiological analysis component 311 and the second physiological analysis component 521 to analyze the first and second biophysiological characteristics.

[0050] The first detection transmission module 34 is used to transmit the output data of the first detection control module 31 to the outside world, so that the data integration module 41 can receive the data output by the first detection control module 31. The second information aggregation module 51 integrates the detection data of the second detection control module 52 and transmits it to the data integration module 41. The data integration module 41 is used to integrate the data of the first detection control module 31 of the plurality of first detection units 3 and the second detection control module 52 of the plurality of second detection units 5.

[0051] The field map module 42 stores field map data and at least one first detection location data located in the field map data. The first detection location data is the setting location of the first detection unit 3. The stereoscopic display module 45 displays the field map data. In this embodiment, the field map data is a stereoscopic (3D) map of the building 21. The stereoscopic display module 45 displays the field map data on the integrated output module 43 so that the screen of the integrated output module 43 can output a 3D simulation of the building 21. The first detection location data is the position of the first detection unit 3 in the building 21. The integrated output module 43 marks the first detection unit 3 in the 3D simulation of the building 21. The first detection control module 31 has a unique number. The first detection location data stores the unique number and the setting location. When the first detection control module 31 transmits data, it transmits the unique number synchronously. The integrated output module 43 synchronizes the received data to the corresponding unique number. In some embodiments, when the power supply to the first detection unit 3 fails, the first detection unit 3 will issue a flashing alarm in the 3D simulation of the building 21 to remind maintenance work to be performed on the first detection unit 3. In addition, the data output circuit of the integrated output module 43 transmits the 3D simulation of the building 21 to the second information aggregation module 51, so that the second information aggregation module 51 can display the 3D simulation of the building 21. In some embodiments, the integrated unit 4 does not use the stereoscopic display module 45; the integrated output module 43 directly displays the position, status, and detection results of the first detection unit 3 and the second detection unit 5 in text.

[0052] The integrated output module 43 integrates the output data of the first detection and control module 31 and the second detection and control module 52 into the field map data and outputs it externally. It also marks the output data of the first detection and control module 31 and the second detection and control module 52 in the field map data. The stereoscopic display module 45 contains map data such as fire, smoke, temperature, and flame. When a fire, smoke, temperature, or flame occurs in the detection area of ​​the first detection and control module 31 and the second detection and control module 52, the stereoscopic display module 45 will integrate the corresponding map data into the field map data and output it to the integrated output module 43 so that the corresponding position in the 3D simulation map of the building 21 displays a fire alarm image.

[0053] The second detection transmission module 55 is connected to the first detection transmission module 34. The second detection control module 52 obtains the first detection transmission module 34 connected to the second detection transmission module 55 and transmits it to the second positioning module 44. The second positioning module 44 locates the second detection unit 5 in the field map data based on the first detection transmission module 34 connected to the second detection transmission module 55. The second detection and transmission module 55 also has a unique serial number. When the second detection and transmission module 55 is connected to the first detection and transmission module 34, the second detection and transmission module 55 can obtain the unique serial number of the first detection and transmission module 34. The second detection and transmission module 55 transmits its own unique serial number and the unique serial number of the first detection and transmission module 34 to the data integration module 41. The second positioning module 44 can locate the second detection unit 5 near the first detection unit 3. When the second detection and transmission module 55 is connected to two of the first detection and transmission modules 34, the second positioning module 44 can locate the second detection unit 5 between the two first detection and transmission modules 34. Based on the data from the data integration module 41, the stereoscopic display module 45 locates the second detection unit 5 in the 3D simulation of the building 21 and displays relevant fire alarm images using the detected data. In some embodiments, the second detection and control module 52 is equipped with a gyroscope and satellite positioning to detect the direction of movement or location.

[0054] The first radar detection module 32 includes a first radar power adjustment component 321 connected to the first fire detection module 33. This component adjusts the output power of the first radar detection module 32, thereby adjusting the intensity of the radar waves output by the module to penetrate different smoke conditions 22. For example, when the first radar power adjustment component 321 increases the output power of the first radar detection module 32, the radar waves output by the module can penetrate dense fog and be reflected back to the module for reception. Conversely, if the first radar power adjustment component 321 decreases the output power of the module, the radar waves output by the module can only penetrate thin fog and will be blocked by dense fog. The second radar detection module 53 has a second radar power adjustment component 531 connected to the second fire detection module 54. The second radar power adjustment component 531 is used to adjust the output power of the second radar detection module 53, thereby adjusting the intensity of the radar wave output by the second radar detection module 53 to penetrate different smoke conditions 22. Since the second radar detection module 53 has the same function as the first radar detection module 32, it will not be described in detail here.

[0055] The first environmental analysis component 313 is used to identify whether a first environmental object feature exists in the first radar detection data. When the first environmental object feature is not found in the first radar detection data, the first detection control module 31 controls the first radar power adjustment component 321 to increase the output power of the first radar detection module 32. When the first environmental object feature exists in the first radar detection data, the first detection control module 31 controls the first radar power adjustment component 321 to decrease the output power of the first radar detection module 32, so that the first radar detection module 32 can use optimal energy consumption to scan and detect whether there are trapped personnel 23 in the fire area. When the first radar power adjustment component 321 decreases the output power of the first radar detection module 32, it obtains the first environmental object feature with the lowest possible power.

[0056] For example, when the first detection unit 3 is installed in the building 21, the first radar detection module 32 first uses radar to scan the detection area to determine the first radar detection data of fixed objects in the detection area, and sets the first radar detection data as the first environmental object feature. In other words, the first environmental object feature is the radar scan data of the detection area of ​​the building 21. When there are no people in the detection area, the first radar detection data should be the same as the first environmental object feature. When a fire occurs in the building 21 and the first environmental analysis component 313 cannot analyze the first environmental object feature, it means that the laser wave output by the first radar detection module 32 has been blocked by the smoke 22. At this time, the first detection control module 31 controls the first radar power adjustment component 321 to increase the output power of the first radar detection module 32 so that the laser wave output by the first radar detection module 32 can reach the trapped person 23.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second information aggregation module 51 is connected to a plurality of the second detection and transmission modules 55. The second detection and transmission modules 55 first transmit data to the second information aggregation module 51, and the second information aggregation module 51 then transmits the data from the second detection and transmission modules 55 to the data integration module 41.

[0058] The integrated output module 43 has a synchronization output component 431 that is connected to the second information aggregation module 51. The synchronization output component 431 transmits the output data of the integrated output module 43 to the second information aggregation module 51 so that the integrated output module 43 and the second information aggregation module 51 can output data synchronously. The synchronization output component 431 can synchronize the display data of the screen of the integrated output module 43 with the display data of the screen of the second information aggregation module 51. The second information aggregation module 51 is handheld by firefighters 24 so that firefighters 24 can receive the latest fire situation in the building 21.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. The second detection unit 5 further includes a second protective housing 56, a buffer protective sleeve 57 disposed on the second protective housing 56, and an adhesive body 58 disposed on the buffer protective sleeve 57. In this embodiment, the second protective housing 56, the buffer protective sleeve 57, and the adhesive body 58 collectively present a spherical structure, but this is not a limitation. In actual implementation, a spherical protective sleeve can also be added to the outer layer of the second information merging module 51, or the second information merging module 51 can be a spherical structure, with multiple spheres formed by the second protective housing 56, the buffer protective sleeve 57, and the adhesive body 58 being separably adhered to the outer surface of the second information merging module 51. When the sphere is to be used, it can be directly pulled out of the second information merging module 51 and discarded for use. In some embodiments, the second information aggregation module 51 includes a smartphone and a spherical integration device connected to the smartphone. A plurality of spheres are detachably attached to the spherical integration device. The plurality of second detection and control modules 52 integrate data in the spherical integration device and then upload the data to the data integration module 41 through the smartphone.

[0060] The second detection control module 52, the second radar detection module 53, the second fire detection module 54, and the second detection transmission module 55 are housed within the second protective housing 56. The second protective housing 56 is a rigid housing that protects the internal electronic circuitry. The buffer protective sleeve 57 is elastic and can cushion impact forces, allowing firefighters 24 to throw the second protective housing 56 into the target area so that the second radar detection module 53 and the second fire detection module 54 can perform detection within the target area.

[0061] The adhesive 58 can be attached to an object or a human body. In this embodiment, the adhesive 58 is an adhesive layer disposed on the buffer protective sleeve 57. The adhesive 58 can attach the second protective shell 56 to the surface of the object or the human body. In actual implementation, the adhesive 58 can use other structures, such as suction cups, buckles, hooks, Velcro, etc., and should not be limited thereto. Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, the outer layer of the adhesive 58 is also covered with a release layer 59. The outer surface of the release layer 59 is non-adhesive, making it easy for firefighters 24 to handle. The inner surface of the release layer 59 is smooth and will not cause the adhesive 58 to stick. When using it, firefighters 24 can peel the release layer 59 off the adhesive 58 and use the adhesive 58 to attach the second protective shell 56 and the buffer protective sleeve 57 to the surface of the object.

[0062] Firefighters 24 can attach the second protective housing 56 to the ceiling or wall. Since hot air generated during a fire rises, the air temperature on the ceiling will rise first when the fire begins to spread. If the second protective housing 56 is placed on the ground, the first fire detection module 33 may not be able to detect the fire and issue fire information immediately. In addition, firefighters 24 can attach the second protective housing 56 to the trapped person 23 so that the second detection and control module 52 can detect the evacuation position of the trapped person 23.

[0063] It is worth mentioning that the radar waves output by the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module can scan the appearance of objects in the detection area, and even determine whether there are obstacles in the passage, so that the first detection control module 31 and the second detection control module 52 can provide obstacle information to firefighters 24 for reference. For example, the first detection control module 31 and the second detection control module 52 transmit the first radar detection data and the second radar detection data to the data integration module 41. The data integration module 41 stores the first radar detection data and the second radar detection data in the site map module 42. As a fire occurs, situations such as glass breaking, shoe racks collapsing, and decorations collapsing occur. The first radar detection data detected by the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection data detected by the second radar detection module 53 are all... Significant changes will occur. When integrating data, the data integration module 41 will first compare the newly scanned first radar detection data with the second radar detection data, and the differences between the first radar detection data and the second radar detection data that have been stored. The differences will be displayed on the integration output module 43. The data integration module 41 can identify whether the differences are due to broken glass, fallen shoe racks, collapsed decorations, etc., and output the analysis results to the integration output module 43 and the second information aggregation module 51 for reference by on-site firefighters 24.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second protective housing 56 is provided with a plurality of small holes, each of which is respectively provided with a second radar transceiver component 532. The second radar detection module 53 is electrically connected to the plurality of second radar transceiver components 532. The second radar detection module 53 controls the plurality of second radar transceiver components 532 to output laser waves and receive reflected laser waves, so that the second radar detection module 53 can obtain the second radar detection data. The second radar detection module 53 is electrically connected to the second radar power adjustment component 531 to control the output power of the second radar detection module 53, so as to increase the output power of the second radar detection module 53 in the case of dense smoke, for use in penetrating smoke for detection. In addition, the second radar transceiver assembly 532 is also equipped with a light-emitting element 533. In this embodiment, the second radar transceiver assembly 532 is a millimeter-wave radar transceiver antenna, and the light-emitting element 533 is a light-emitting diode (LED). When the second radar detection module 53 is operating, the light-emitting element 533 in the second radar transceiver assembly 532 can emit light to guide the trapped personnel 23 and firefighters 24 to their location and direction in the chaotic fire scene, so that the trapped personnel 23 and firefighters 24 can escape smoothly in the smoke-filled fire scene.

[0065] Referring back to Figure 4, which shows the output screen of the integrated output module 43, the screen of the second information aggregation module 51 also outputs the same screen simultaneously to simulate the fire situation of the building 21. The ground floor of the building 21 is the first floor, and the floors above it are the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors. Multiple first detection units 3 are installed on the ceiling of the corridor in the building 21. When there is no fire in the building 21, the first radar detection module 32 in the first detection unit 3 is turned off. The first detection unit 3 only uses the first fire detection module 33 to detect whether there is a fire in the building 21.

[0066] When a fire occurs on the sixth floor of the building 21, the smoke 22 generated by the fire will gradually fill the floor. After the first smoke detection component 331 of the first fire detection module 33 detects the smoke 22, the first fire detection module 33 outputs fire information and controls the first radar switch component 312 to turn on the power of the first radar detection module 32 so as to output radar to scan the smoke 22 in the detection area it is responsible for. The first physiological analysis component 311 analyzes the first radar detection data and determines that there are no trapped personnel 23 on the sixth floor. At this time, the first detection control module 31 outputs a first-level alarm to the data integration module 41 of the integration unit 4. The integration output module 43 displays a first-level alarm for the sixth floor, and the personnel on the sixth floor evacuate quickly. Firefighters 24 do not need to enter the sixth floor.

[0067] When a fire breaks out on the fifth floor of the building 21 and smoke 22 fills the air, the first smoke detection component 331 of the first fire detection module 33 detects the smoke 22, outputs fire information, and controls the first radar switch component 312 to turn on the first radar detection module 32. The first physiological analysis component 311 analyzes the first radar detection data and determines that there is a trapped person 23 on the fifth floor. Therefore, the first detection control module 31 outputs a second-level alarm to the data integration module 41 of the integration unit 4. The data integration module 41 not only displays the location of the trapped person 23, but also transmits the information to the firefighters 24, so that the firefighters 24 can go to the fifth floor to carry out rescue operations based on the second-level alarm and the location of the trapped person 23.

[0068] A fire broke out in building 21, and smoke was just beginning to appear on the fourth floor 22. A firefighter 24, carrying a second information convergence module 51 and multiple spheres formed by the second protective shell 56, the buffer protective sleeve 57, and the adhesive body 58, entered the fourth floor. Due to poor visibility at the fire scene, the firefighter 24 could not determine whether the area ahead was safe. The firefighter 24 then attached one sphere formed by the second protective shell 56, the buffer protective sleeve 57, and the adhesive body 58 to the wall and the ceiling, respectively. The plurality of second detection and control modules 52 transmit the detected data to the second information aggregation module 51. The second information aggregation module 51 uploads the data from the plurality of second detection and control modules 52 to the integration unit 4. The data integration module 41 integrates the data from the plurality of first detection units 3 and the plurality of second detection units 5, and displays them synchronously on the screen of the data integration module 41 and the screen of the second information aggregation module 51, so that the firefighters 24 and the personnel in the control center can receive the latest fire situation.

[0069] As can be seen from the above description, the monitoring system combining physiological sensing and fire sensing of the present invention does indeed have the following effects:

[0070] 1. It can detect people trapped in a fire: The first radar detection module 32 is used to emit and receive radar waves that can penetrate smoke 22 and obtain first radar detection data. The first physiological analysis component 311 is used to identify whether there is a first biological physiological characteristic in the first radar detection data, so that the first detection unit 3 has the ability to detect trapped personnel 23 in the fire scene, and provides the first detection control module 31 to output a first-level alarm that no personnel are trapped and a second-level alarm that personnel are trapped.

[0071] II. It can simulate the condition of buildings: The site map data is a 3D map of the building 21. The stereoscopic display module 45 displays the site map data on the integrated output module 43 so that the screen of the integrated output module 43 can output a 3D simulation of the building 21. Furthermore, fire alarms such as smoke 22, high temperature, and flames are marked on the 3D simulation of the building 21 so that the integrated output module 43 can output a 3D fire scene simulation.

[0072] 3. Able to provide information on the on-site conditions of the fire: The first radar detection data output by the first radar detection module 32 can show the appearance of objects in the detection area. The data integration module 41 stores the first radar detection data in the field map module 42. When the data integration module 41 performs data integration, it compares the first radar detection data and displays the differences on the integration output module 43. The integration output module 43 and the second information aggregation module 51 display the on-site situation of the fire.

[0073] In summary, the radar waves output by the first radar detection module 32 and the second radar detection module 53 can penetrate the smoke 22 to obtain the appearance of objects. The first physiological analysis component 311 and the second physiological analysis component 521 can further analyze the presence of the first and second biophysiological characteristics based on minute changes in the detected data in the radar waves, thereby determining whether there are trapped personnel 23 in the fire. The stereoscopic display module 45 can display a 3D simulation of the building 21 on the integrated output module 43, and integrate the first detection unit 3, the second detection unit 5, and the fire... The scene conditions are displayed in the integrated output module 43 and the second information aggregation module 51. The second protective housing 56 houses the second detection and control module 52, the second radar detection module 53, the second fire detection module 54, and the second detection and transmission module 55. The buffer protective sleeve 57 and the adhesive 58 provide firefighters 24 with the opportunity to place the second protective housing 56 in the fire scene to establish more complete detection data of the fire scene. Firefighters 24 use the data output by the second information aggregation module 51 to determine whether it is necessary to enter the fire scene, thus achieving the purpose of the present invention.

[0074] However, the above description is only one embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the description of the invention shall still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
