Description

[0001] Object and field of technology to which the invention relates The invention relates to a system, and a procedure for its implementation, for alerting and protecting victims of gender and sexual violence in order to reduce response times in the event of an attempted assault.More specifically, the object of the invention relates to an alert system (1) comprising an activation module (20) implemented in a smartphone device (10) provided with means so that in an alarm situation the victim can execute said module by the impact of several taps given within a maximum time (in the manner of SOS) on the back of the mobile phone (10) and that said module (20) is linked to a request for help system (30), which contains a request for help module (301) and a self-powered wireless device (302), in order to perform, by means of a remote server (101), the functions of detection and management of alarms and sending the information necessary to facilitate early attention (geolocation, sound and video), mainly to protect victims of gender and sexual violence.The invention belongs to the field of industrial engineering for electronic devices and information and security technology. General Information: Gender is a sociocultural construct that describes the behaviors, attitudes, and values ​​socially assigned to women and men in a differentiated manner. Discrimination against women is the root of all forms of violence. Gender-based and sexual violence, particularly violence against women and girls, is one of the most widespread human rights violations in the world, with serious consequences for people's health, development, and identity.In compliance with the provisions of Organic Law 1 / 2004 [02, 03], on July 26, 2007, the State Secretariat for Security of the Ministry of the Interior of Spain put into operation a comprehensive monitoring system for cases of gender and sexual violence called VioGén

[0001] , its objectives being: - to bring together the different public institutions that have competence in matters of gender and sexual violence; - to integrate all the information of interest that is deemed necessary; - to predict the risk; - according to the level of risk, to carry out monitoring and protection of victims throughout the national territory; - to carry out preventive work, issuing notices, alerts and alarms, through the "Automated Notification Subsystem", when any incident or event is detected that may endanger the integrity of the victim.The ultimate goal is to establish a comprehensive network that allows for the rapid, integrated, and effective monitoring and protection of abused women and their children throughout the country. The VioGén system

[0001] always begins with a report, either from the victim herself or someone close to her. Even a police report can initiate protection. First, the victim is asked to provide an open account, building trust so she can tell everything that has happened. The second step involves the victim answering a series of questions about the abuse she has suffered, her situation and that of her children (if any), the profile of the abuser, and any aggravating factors of vulnerability present in the case, such as economic dependence on the partner or ex-partner. The objective is to detect the risk of recidivism and the risk of homicide.With all the data considered, professionals establish a risk level that will always increase; it can never decrease. There are five risk levels in the VioGén system: extreme, high, medium, low, and not assessed. Each level implies a series of protective measures. In cases of lower threat, officers inform the victim about the legal and social resources available to help her, in addition to offering self-protection recommendations. The victim is also provided with 24-hour contact numbers for the law enforcement agencies assigned to the case. At higher levels, the victim may be transferred to a shelter, and occasional checks will be carried out at the woman's home and workplace, as well as at the school of her minor children, if she has any. The aggressor, for his part, will wear an electronic monitoring device and must comply with the imposed court orders.In high-risk cases, the victim will be relocated if the aggressor cannot be located, in addition to frequent and random checks of their home and workplace. The aggressor's movements and contacts with close associates will also be monitored. In extreme cases, the aggressor will be placed under intensive surveillance until they no longer pose an imminent threat to the victim's safety. To improve the effectiveness of the VioGén system, it has been upgraded five times since its inception up to 2023. However, the system is not always effective: in 2023, nearly 10,000 victims of gender-based violence registered in the VioGén system were assaulted again or had a protection order violated. Of the 59,950 cases registered in the VioGén system in 2023, 9,429 involved a new complaint, either filed by the victim or initiated by the authorities.In February 2024, the Ministry of the Interior announced a review of the criteria and procedures for closing cases. Furthermore, efforts are underway to evolve the system and expand its current functions to facilitate comprehensive monitoring of gender-based violence. Regarding victims of gender-based and sexual violence, two very different scenarios can be identified: a) cases in which the perpetrator has been previously identified and for which there is a protocol for the electronic monitoring system to ensure compliance with restraining orders and sentences related to gender-based and sexual violence; this electronic monitoring system consists of a radio frequency transmitter and a tracking unit for the accused or convicted person, and a tracking unit for the victim; b) cases in which the potential perpetrator is unknown and therefore cannot be monitored.However, aggressors of type (a) who, in violation of the protocol, do not carry the monitoring equipment, become case (b). Therefore, the invention proposes an alert system for the protection of victims of gender-based and sexual violence in case (b). Two tools are used to pursue the ambitious goal of protecting victims of gender-based and sexual violence: security prevention and reducing response times in the event of an attempted assault. Security prevention is achieved through programs such as, for example, VioGén

[0001] .Around half of all assaults could have been prevented if a more agile response had been possible with immediate access to the necessary information. These, along with the technical problems identified in the prior art, are the objectives of the present invention: immediate communication; warning of an impending or completed assault attempt; and facilitating early intervention with all the necessary information (geolocation, ambient sound and video recording). Review of the Prior Art: To protect victims of gender-based and sexual violence, various techniques have been developed. One category of techniques is based on specific hardware devices designed to perform protection and support tasks.However, these devices quickly become obsolete and serve as a constant reminder and stigma for victims, and in the worst cases, they may even fail to provide adequate protection. Another technique involves using a mobile application (app), which is a type of software designed to run on a mobile device, such as a smartphone or smartwatch. This solution allows users to easily keep the mobile app and hardware devices updated through online stores. Furthermore, because these devices are widely used, they do not negatively impact the victim's mental health. The best-known online stores are: Google Play, developed and operated by Google (R), is the online application store for devices with the Android (R) operating system; and the App Store, developed and operated by Apple (R), is the online application store for devices with the iOS (R) operating system.Non-patent literature: Various hardware devices specifically designed for the protection of victims of gender-based and sexual violence are known in the prior art, such as: DAC (specific device)

[0007] . This is a Concealed Assistance Device for victims of gender-based and sexual violence, designed in Spain by the Spanish association ALMA in collaboration with the University of Extremadura. It is a device based on a miniaturized electronic circuit equipped with a micro-button, which can be concealed in a woman's accessories or clothing. When activated, it sends an alert to the police. If the victim needs to use it, she presses the button, and the circuit directly transmits her location to law enforcement. Anonymous first responders, volunteers who would go to the scene while waiting for the police to arrive, are also notified.In the current state of the art, several mobile applications exist for the protection of victims of gender-based and sexual violence, such as ALERTCOPS (mobile app)

[0004] . Available on Google Play and the App Store. This mobile application is developed by the Spanish National Police and Civil Guard, under the Ministry of the Interior. The app uses user identification upon registration and utilizes the phone's geolocation. To use it, simply validate your phone number, open the app, and tap the dedicated SOS alert button in its icon menu. Tapping the button five times in less than six seconds sends an emergency signal to the State Security Forces and Corps, along with the affected person's location. Additionally, the alert also includes a 10-second audio recording, providing more detailed information about the situation and enabling a more effective, rapid, and accurate response.This way, your location will reach the nearest control center. You can send images and videos and indicate whether the alert happened to you or if you witnessed it. The State Security Forces will receive all the information to be able to help as quickly as possible. SAFE WOMEN (mobile app)

[0005] . Available on: Google Play. Mobile application for women with the goal of eradicating gender and sexual violence, which contains a help button in case of being at risk within the State of Sonora (Mexico). It is directly connected to the C5i Command, Control, Communications, Computing, Coordination and Intelligence Center, sending georeferenced location, as well as a telephone number to which the authorities will respond immediately. Likewise, the trusted network will be notified. A mobile application called “Get Home Safely” allows for virtual accompaniment when walking alone at night. Used especially by women to increase their independence by enhancing their personal safety, the app allows users to be virtually accompanied by two trusted individuals. The journey is tracked via GPS, detecting if the user deviates from their route, is pushed, or starts running—in short, it captures all types of movement. If the button indicating that the user is okay is not pressed within 15 seconds, the phone becomes a personal alarm, offering the option to call the police and sending an alert to the chosen contacts. Patent Literature: In the closest prior art patent literature, we find different types of systems and procedures for protecting victims of sexual and gender-based violence.In this sense, the Spanish invention patent document (ES2686086, 15.03.2017) is known, which is entitled: “AUTONOMOUS SECURITY SYSTEM AND IN THE. which advocates an autonomous private security system capable of providing active and passive services in the fight against gender-based and sexual violence. We found the Spanish invention patent (ES2723982, February 28, 2018) entitled: “WIRELESS DEVICE FOR REMOTELY RUNNING A MOBILE APPLICATION THAT EMITS AN ALERT SIGNAL TO MULTIPLE RECEIVERS,” which claims a wireless device for remotely running a mobile application that emits an alert signal to multiple recipients. Also found is the Spanish invention patent document (ES2741931, July 22, 2019) entitled: “ALERT SYSTEM FOR PERSONAL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS,” which refers to a small electronic device that can be attached and concealed on clothing and used in cases of gender-based sexual violence.In addition, utility model documents (ES1261088U, ES1269094U) are known, claiming wireless distress devices, respectively a wireless distress device and an electronic watch strap for requesting assistance.

Technical problem detected in the state of the art: The devices known in the prior art present a technical limitation or problem, which focuses primarily on the following aspects: ^ Proximity bracelets or wristbands, which are placed on aggressors to protect people threatened with gender and sexual violence, have a very high technological cost and require a high degree of maintenance. Furthermore, studies reveal that more than 50% of the alarms produced are false positives, so the efficiency of action is very low when a real alarm occurs. ^ Specific emergency call applications (apps) for mobile phones (smartphones), by, for example, pressing a button (SOS) implemented on a mobile screen, require screen manipulation to activate an alert, thereforeThese devices are very difficult to use in cases of imminent attempted assault when the victim doesn't have enough time to remove their phone from their bag (clothing pocket, backpack, etc.), unlock it, and press the SOS button. Smartwatch-specific emergency call apps, which can operate independently or in conjunction with a mobile phone, also allow for alerts to be triggered, for example, by pressing an SOS button on the watch screen. However, their use is particularly noticeable in cases of imminent attempted assault. Electronic devices that activate wireless communication (e.g., Bluetooth) and can be worn on clothing or concealed in accessories (watches, earrings, necklaces, etc.) require the user to perform an inconvenient process of periodically recharging their battery. A depleted battery can also cause a serious malfunction in the protection system.(Recharging a mobile phone, being a daily habit, does not pose an inconvenience). Technical Advantage of the Invention The present invention fully and satisfactorily resolves the aforementioned problem in each and every one of the different aspects discussed and detailed below: ^ The protection alert system advocated by the invention is very easy and quick to use, even in cases of imminent attempted assault, since the victim does not need to manipulate the mobile phone screen (removing it from their bag and unlocking it) to activate an alert. ^ The protection alert system advocated by the invention does not require an additional activation device; therefore, it is a great advantage and is also very discreet to use, even in cases of imminent attempted assault, since the victim does not need to manipulate a watch screen or a camouflaged gadget to activate an alert. ^ TheThe protection alert system advocated by the invention does not require permanent wireless communication with the mobile phone (only in the case of activation), therefore it does not cause a permanent increase in the mobile phone's battery consumption, but only occasionally when its use is needed. The protection alert system advocated by the invention requires an additional device whose function is to record ambient sound and video and send the sound and video files in real time via wireless connection to the mobile phone. This device does not require the user to perform periodic electrical recharging since it is automatically powered by a kinematic electric generator that, by means of a pendulum element, captures mechanical energy produced by the movement of the person wearing it.

An activation module (20), (see FIG.01), consisting of an application developed in specific software implemented on the mobile phone (10) that sends the alarm notification to the distress request module (301), whose functionality is that in an alarm situation the victim can activate it by tapping three or more times in less than three seconds (as an SOS) on the back of the mobile phone (10) and which is linked to a distress request module (30); one feature is that the module (20) is functional for any operating system, e.g. Android, iOS, etc.; another feature is that the module (20) once it has been installed and configured for the first time on the mobile phone (20) does not need to be turned on to function, so it is not necessary to open it, and therefore it is not necessary to unlock (password, pattern, or fingerprint) the mobile phone (10). A distress request system (30), (see FIG.01-02), consisting of a series of elements, these being: ^ a request for help module (301), (see FIG.01), consisting of an application developed in a specific software implemented on the mobile phone (10) that receives the alarm notification from the activation module (20) and to facilitate early attention at that precise moment consults in real time the GPS position or positions of the mobile (10) and connects wirelessly with the device (302) to generate the ambient sound and video files recorded by the device (302) and sends the information, by means of wireless telecommunications (XG, WiFi or SMS), to a remote server (101) (hosted in the cloud) that processes the information received and generates (via HTTPS, WhatsApp, eMAIL, SMS, app, etc.) the requests for help to the sites that have been previously configured, e.g. citizen assistance service 112, numbers of relatives and acquaintances, etc.One feature is that the module (301) is functional for any operating system, e.g., Android, iOS, etc.; another feature is that the module (301), once installed and configured for the first time on the mobile phone (10), does not need to be booted up to work, so it is not necessary to open it, and therefore it is not necessary to unlock (password, pattern, or fingerprint) the mobile phone (10); ^ a self-powered wireless device (302), (see FIG.02-04), linked to the mobile phone (10) and which is miniaturized in an independent housing (303) to be placed on the victim's accessories in a removable manner by means of an anchor or eyelet (304) provided for this purpose and a chain (305) or a round carabiner (305), whose functionality is by means of a camera-microphone (3030) to record ambient sound and video and send in real time by means of a wireless connector (3026) the sound and video files to the distress request module (301).The device (302) operates autonomously, powered by a rechargeable hybrid battery (3025) connected, via a converter-adapter (3024), to a kinematic electric generator (3020). This generator, using a pendulum element, captures mechanical energy produced by the wearer's movement. Additionally, if needed, a quick manual charge can be performed by circular movements of the device. Detailed morphology and description of the self-powered wireless device (302). The self-powered wireless device (302) receives power from the generator (3020) via terminal block (30223), which connects to a converter-adapter (3024). This converter-adapter converts and adapts the alternating sinusoidal wave pulse train to the desired direct current (DC) level, and the output of this converter is fed to a hybrid rechargeable battery (3025). This battery consists of a rechargeable battery with a very long lifespan and very low self-discharge rate, e.g., lithium (Li-SOCl2, lithium thionyl chloride), connected in parallel with a capacitor, e.g., lithium-ion (LiC), to supply power and current spikes to the camera-microphone (3030). All these miniaturized components are distributed on a printed circuit board (PCB). The camera-microphone (3030), e.g.It contains a 20-megapixel active pixel CMOS stacked image sensor with a square pixel array, a frame rate of 30 to 240 fps, and a diagonal pixel size of 6.5 mm, requiring a power supply of 1.05 to 2.8 V DC; it also has an infrared LED for portable night vision functionality and is capable of providing a thermal resolution of 256×192 pixels with 25 fps video; it also has a micro speaker. The self-powered wireless device (302) is miniaturized in a separate housing (303) for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, to be attached (see FIG.02A-02B) to the victim's accessories in a removable manner by means of an anchor or eyelet (304) provided for this purpose and a chain (305) or a round carabiner (305), with Bluetooth and WiFi wireless connectivity; Structurally, the casing can be lentil-shaped with a diameter of 25 mm and a height of 10 mm.Detailed morphology of the autonomous electrical power supply system of the self-powered wireless device (302) via a rechargeable hybrid battery (3025) connected to a kinematic electric generator (3020) and detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The kinematic electric generator (3020) (see FIG. 05-08) is provided with a pendulum element to capture the mechanical energy produced by the movement of the person carrying it, e.g., while walking, running, etc., producing a pulse train of alternating sinusoidal waves. Furthermore, if necessary, rapid manual charging can be performed by forced circular movements of the device. The generator (3020) comprises an oscillating arm (3021) acting as a rotor or inductor and a disc (3022) acting as a stator or armature. The oscillating arm (3021) rotates in response to the person's movements and contains a circular magnet (30211), e.g.made of neodymium, with its pole (either N or S) oriented to exhibit axial flux, the magnet (30211) is embedded in a support (30210) of insulating material, e.g., epoxy, which is fixed to a rotating shaft (30213) by means of one or more support arms (30212), and whose ends of the rotating shaft are placed within respective bearings (3023I, 3023S) arranged in a support housing (3023), so that the magnet (30211) can be moved in a circular motion against the plurality of flat coils (30221). The disc (3022) comprises a circular plate (30220) of insulating material, e.g.epoxy, to which is adhered an adhesive plastic sheet (30229), in the form of a circular crown, containing the plurality of flat coils (30221) wound in a spiral and circular shape with a hollow internal diameter equal to (or substantially greater than) the diameter of each magnet (30211); said coils (30221) remain fixed with respect to the magnet (30211) and are arranged oriented with axial flux according to an equidistant and circumferential position; the coils (30221) are connected in series connection by means of lower bridges (30222) that join the end of one coil (30221) with the beginning of the next.The disc (3022) perpendicularly supports the rotating axis (30213) and is attached to a support housing (3023); the flat coils (30221) are configured with an empty (air) core so that each circular magnet (30211) is not attracted by a ferromagnetic core and thus minimize resistance to movement at start-up and when passing through the coils, since the mechanical energy captured from the movement of a person is reduced and discontinuous (In the case of state-of-the-art generators, whose axis moves with a high and continuous mechanical energy, it is of interest to provide the coil cores with a ferromagnetic core in order to increase the induced electromotive force).References of a kinematic electric generator (3020), object of the invention: E Induced electromotive force, in V, in each flat coil (30221); n Speed, in rpm, of the oscillating arm (3021); r Radius of gyration, in m, of the circular magnet (30211); B Magnetic field, in T, of the circular magnet (30211); N Number of turns, ad., of each flat coil (30221); L Length, in m, of the conductor of each flat coil (30221) perpendicular to the sweep of the magnet (30211); Øi Hollow internal diameter, in m, of each flat coil (30221); Øe Outer diameter, in m, of each flat coil (30221); S Circumferential outer separation distance, in m, between each flat coil (30221); Applying Faraday's law and the Lorentz formula, the electromotive force induced in each flat coil (30221) of the kinematic electric generator (3020) will be a function of the speed (n) of the circular motion of the oscillating arm (3021), the magnetic field of the circular magnet (30211) that sweeps axial magnetic flux through the sides of each coil (30221), the number of turns of each coil, and the length of the perpendicular conductor swept by each magnet (30211), its effective value being expressed by the following equation: During laboratory experimentation*, it was discovered that if the magnet (30211) is circular and each of the coils (30221) is also circular, an interaction occurs that causes electrical generation that gradually increases as the magnet (30211) passes over the coil (30221) (because the length (L) of the conductor of each flat coil (30221) perpendicular to the sweep of the magnet (30211) progressively increases) and also gradually decreases as it moves away (because the length (L) of the conductor of each flat coil (30221) perpendicular to the sweep of the magnet (30211) progressively decreases). This advantage favors the start-up and continuation of the movement of the oscillating arm (3021). (*) Results obtained by the UNIVERSITY OF LA RIOJA during 2022-23.The shape of different neodymium magnets (square, rectangular, triangular, and circular) was compared to different shapes of coils constructed with 0.15 mm diameter enamelled copper wire (square, rectangular, triangular, and circular). The internal hollow diameter (Øi) of the flat coil (30221) is given by the following equation: The circumferential outer separation distance (S), between each flat coil (30221), must be less than the hollow internal diameter (Øi) to prevent the axial flux of the circular magnet (30211) from barring the surface without coils (30221), and is zero when the coils (30221) are arranged next to each other, which is the value that maximizes the electrical energy produced by a generator whose shaft moves with high and continuous mechanical energy, any of the prior art, and can be expressed by the following equation: 1 ^ ^ ൌ^^^ Ø^^ Eq. ^3^where: S = Ø^^ for k = 1; S = 0 for k = ∞. It has been discovered** that for the kinematic electric generator (3020), which advocates the invention, an external separation distance (S) > 0, causes that when the axial flux of the circular magnet (30211) begins to sweep, a surface without coils (30221) produces a recovery of the movement of the oscillating arm (3021), the optimal external separation distance (S) being that given for k = 5.65, this value being the one that minimizes the overall resistance to movement in the passage between the coils in order to optimize the mechanical energy captured from the movement of a person, which is reduced and discontinuous. (**) Results obtained by the UNIVERSITY OF LA RIOJA during 2024.The generation obtained for different interdistances (from 0 to Øi) was tested in a plurality of prototype kinematic electric generators (3020) each of them constructed with a circular magnet (30211) and circular flat coils (30221) made of enamelled copper wire of Ø 0.15 mm. gender and sexual violence (P1) that uses a device (1) for its implementation, by enumerating the steps to be executed according to the indicated order.The invention advocates an alert procedure for the protection of victims of gender and sexual violence (P1) by using the device (1) for its implementation, of the type that interact with a series of modules (applications developed in specific software) implemented in a smartphone device provided with means, with the function of detection and management of alarms and sending of the information necessary to facilitate early attention (geolocation, sound and video), mainly to protect victims of gender and sexual violence, which uses the alert system for the protection of victims of gender and sexual violence (1), and which comprises at least the following stages: STAGE “a”.Installing and configuring the activation (20) and distress (301) modules on a smartphone (10) of the system (1): A user downloads the modules (20) and (301) from a web application store and then proceeds to install and configure them on a smartphone (10). These modules (20) and (301) remain linked and active in the background; that is, they do not need to be started to function, so it is not necessary to open them, and therefore it is not necessary to unlock (password, pattern, or fingerprint) the mobile phone (10). The user then pairs the self-powered wireless device (302) for the first time via Bluetooth (e.g., ultra-low energy) so that it can connect automatically from now on. STEP “b”.Activating the system's activation module (20) (1): In an alarm situation, a victim activates module (20) by tapping the back of the mobile phone (10) three or more times in less than three seconds (as an SOS signal). The distress request module (301), which receives the alarm notification from the activation module (20), will automatically send a communication to the self-powered wireless device (302) via Bluetooth. STAGE “c”. Confirming the distress request: The self-powered wireless device (302) will emit an SOS Morse code signal (3 short beeps + 3 long beeps + 3 short beeps) to confirm the distress request only if the victim repeats the tapping sequence of three or more times in less than three seconds on the back of the mobile phone (10).The aim is to minimize false positive alarms (studies reveal that more than 50% of alarms are false positives, resulting in very low response efficiency when a real alarm occurs). STAGE “d”. Generate ambient sound and video files recorded by the device (302). When the user confirms the distress request, the self-powered wireless device (302) records ambient sound and video files using the camera-microphone (3030). The duration and number of files depend on the configuration set by the user in stage “a”. Once the recording is complete, it transmits this information via Bluetooth to the distress request module (301). The module (301) then establishes a Wi-Fi connection with the device (302) to receive these files, and disconnects the connection once received. STAGE “e”. Send the GPS position(s) and ambient sound and video files recorded by the device. To facilitate early intervention, at this precise moment the module (301) consults in real time the GPS position(s) of the mobile (10) to send, along with the ambient sound and video files received from the device (302), the information, via wireless telecommunications (XG, WiFi or SMS), to a remote server (101) (hosted in the cloud) that processes the information received and generates (via HTTPS, WhatsApp, eMAIL, SMS, app, etc.) the requests for help to the sites that have been previously configured, e.g. citizen assistance service 112, numbers of family and acquaintances, etc. STAGE “f”.Autonomous supply of electrical energy to the self-powered wireless device (302) via a rechargeable hybrid battery (3025) connected to a kinematic electric generator (3020). The kinematic electric generator (3020), equipped with a pendulum element in the form of an oscillating arm (3021), captures the mechanical energy produced by the movement of the person carrying it, producing a train of alternating sinusoidal wave pulses that charge a rechargeable hybrid battery (3025). STAGE “g”. Manual autonomous supply of electrical energy to the self-powered wireless device (302) via a rechargeable hybrid battery (3025) connected to a kinematic electric generator (3020). By manually applying circular movements to the self-powered wireless device (302), the rechargeable hybrid battery (3025) is rapidly recharged.
