Abstract

The additional functions provided in the wristwatch include the reception of alarm signals and messages, representing them in acoustic and/or visual form and transmitting acknowledgment replies. The device can transmit messages in speech form. The device can acts as a multifunction watch with the ability to transmit position and search signals. It can transmit in the HF range to overcome external influences and can receive traffic radio stations, traffic control systems, weather information or signals from other information systems.

Description

Statt wie bisher üblich ein separates Gerät für reine Alarmierungszwecke zu verwenden, wird /werden diese Funktion/en in eine Armbanduhr zusätzlich zu deren normalen Zeitfunktionen integriert.Instead of using a separate device for purely alarm purposes, as was previously the case, This function / s will be added to a watch in addition to its normal time functions integrated.

Auf der Basis einer Armbanduhr wird eine Antenne eingebaut, die in der Lage ist, Signale bzw. Impulse von und zu Leitstellen und anderen Sendeeinrichtungen anhand einer elektronischen Baugruppe zu empfangen und zu senden, sowie in akustische und /oder optische Zeichen umzusetzen.On the basis of a wristwatch, an antenna is installed that is capable of sending signals or impulses from and to control centers and other transmission facilities using a to receive and send electronic assembly, as well as in acoustic and / or implement visual signs.

Die bisherige Alarmierung von Personen, die jederzeit verfügbar sein müssen, erfolgte bislang auf der Basis von zusätzlichen Alarmierungsgeräten. Da diese den Nachteil der Sperrigkeit und der ständigen, zusätzlichen Mitführung in sich bergen, erscheint die Integration in einen Gegenstand, dessen ständige Mitführung allgemein üblich ist, sinnvoll und notwendig.The previous alarming of people who must be available at all times has so far been carried out on the basis of additional alarm devices. Because this has the disadvantage of bulkiness and the constant, additional carrying, the integration into one appears Object, the constant carrying of which is common, makes sense and is necessary.

Als Beispiel wäre der bisherige Gebrauch von zusätzlichen Alarmierungsgeräten (Rufempfängern) bei örtlichen/städtischen Feuerwehren zu nennen.An example would be the previous use of additional alarm devices (Call recipients) at local / city fire departments.

Das Feuerwehrpersonal hatte bisher ein zusätzliches Gerät mit sich zu führen, über welches im Bedarfsfall von einer regional vorgegebenen Leitstelle/Ruffrequenz ein akustisches Signal ausgesandt bzw. empfangen wurde und so die Träger dieses Gerätes über mögliche Alarmierungsfälle informiert hat. Um eine ständige Bereitschaft ermöglichen zu können, war dem Träger dieses Gerätes verpflichtet, das angesprochene Alarmierungsgerät ständig und somit zusätzlich bei sich zu tragen.So far, the fire service personnel had to carry an additional device with them If necessary, an acoustic signal from a regionally specified control center / call frequency was sent or received and so the wearer of this device about possible Has informed of alarm cases. To enable a constant readiness, was the wearer of this device is obliged to constantly and therefore also to be carried with you.

Zu der vorhandenen Möglichkeit der exakten Zeitbestimmung und Schmuckfunktion kommt somit die Fähigkeit jederzeit und überall erreichbar zu sein. Die Alarmierung von den oben beschriebenen Personenkreisen bzw. Institutionen, ist somit anhand dieser, mit den oben beschriebenen Zusätzen ausgerüsteten Multifunktionsarmbanduhr, möglich.In addition to the existing possibility of exact time determination and jewelry function thus the ability to be available anytime and anywhere. Alerting from the above described groups of people or institutions, is based on this, with the above Equipped multifunction wristwatch described, possible.

Bei der von uns beschriebenen Multifunktionsarmbanduhr lösen die sendenden Stellen im Bedarfsfall über Funksignale auf bisher üblichen Wellenbereichen den notwendigen Impuls aus, der von der in der Armbanduhr integrierten Antenne empfangen wird und in ein optisches, und / oder akustisches Signal umgewandelt wird.In the multifunction wristwatch we have described, the sending points in the If necessary, the necessary impulse is generated via radio signals on the usual wavebands, which is received by the antenna integrated in the watch and converted into an optical, and / or acoustic signal is converted.

Ein jederzeitiges Erreichen ist hiermit gesichert, da diese Armbanduhr auch in Fällen sportlicher Betätigungen und ähnlichem mitgeführt wird. Desweiteren besteht die Möglichkeit nach Erhalt eines solchen Signales eine Quittierung/Rückantwort mit Hilfe der so ausgerüsteten Multifunktionsarmbanduhr vorzunehmen bzw. abzusenden.This ensures that it can be reached at any time, as this wristwatch is also sporty in cases Operations and the like is carried. Furthermore, there is the possibility of receipt of such a signal an acknowledgment / response with the help of the so equipped Make or send a multifunction wristwatch.
