The disclosure relates to swimmer safety devices and more particularly pertains to a new swimmer safety device for allowing adults to monitor swimming children's safety to prevent drowning.
The prior art relates to swimmer safety devices. Existing devices may monitor vital signs and send panic signals but lack GPS location sharing. Existing devices also fail to incorporate with a monitoring system that allows for many transmitter devices to be simultaneously observed.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a transmitter body having a body front side, a body back side, a body top side, a body bottom side, a body left side, and a body right side. A strap is coupled to the transmitter body. The strap includes a first half coupled to the body bottom side and a second half coupled to the body top side. The first half and the second half are selectively engageable to secure the strap and the transmitter body on a user's wrist. A transmitter display is coupled to the body front side of the transmitter body. A CPU is coupled within the transmitter body and is in operational communication with the transmitter display. A battery, a power button, and a panic button are coupled to the transmitter body and are in operational communication with the CPU. A biometric sensor is coupled to the body back side and is in operational communication with the CPU. A transceiver is coupled within the transmitter body and is in operational communication with the CPU. The transceiver is configured to communicate with a personal electronic device to send vitals from the biometric sensor and alerts from the panic button.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A strap 26 is coupled to the transmitter body 12. The strap 26 includes a first half 28 coupled to the body bottom side 20 and a second half 30 coupled to the body top side 18. The first half 28 and the second half 30 are selectively engageable to secure the strap 26 and the transmitter body 12 on a user's wrist. The first half 28 of the strap may have a plurality of adjustment apertures 32 and the second half 30 of the strap may have a buckle 34 to selectively engage with the plurality of adjustment apertures 32. The second half 30 of the strap may have a flared portion 36 and an obround strap aperture 38 extending therethrough. The strap aperture 38 receives a distal end 40 of the first half of the strap to secure the strap 26 from moving.
A transmitter display 42 is coupled to the transmitter body 12. The transmitter display 42 may occupy the entirety of the body front side 14. A CPU 44 is coupled within the transmitter body 12 and is in operational communication with the transmitter display 42. A battery 46 is coupled within the transmitter body 12 and is in operational communication with the CPU 44. The battery 46 may have a charge port 47 extending through the body left side 22. The battery 46 may alternatively be chargeable using an inductive charger.
A power button 48 is coupled to the transmitter body 12. The power button 48 is in operational communication with the CPU 44. The power button 48 may have a cylindrical power button housing 50 coupled to the body right side 24 to prevent accidental activation. A panic button 48 is also coupled to the transmitter body 12 and is in operational communication with the CPU 44. The panic button 52 may have a cylindrical panic button housing 54 coupled to the body right side 24 to prevent accidental activation.
A GPS chip 56 may be coupled within the transmitter body 12 is in operational communication with the CPU 44 to identify an exact location of the apparatus 10. A biometric sensor 58 is coupled to the transmitter body 12. The biometric sensor 58 is coupled to the body back side 16 and is in operational communication with the CPU 44. The biometric sensor 58 may comprise a pair of rectangular sensor pads 60 to read the wearer's respiration rate, heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure.
A transceiver 62 is coupled within the transmitter body 12 and is in operational communication with the CPU 44. The transceiver 62 is configured to communicate with a personal electronic device 64 to send vitals from the biometric sensor 58 and alerts from the panic button 48. An app on the personal electronic device 64 can monitor the location and vitals sent from numerous wearers of the apparatus 10.
There may alternatively be a main controller 66 shown in
In use, the swimmer safety monitor apparatus 10 is worn by a swimmer. A supervisor may monitor the swimmer's vitals and location using the personal electronic device 64 or the main controller 66. The panic button 48 is activated by the wearer in case of emergency to send a distress signal to either the personal electronic device 64 or the main controller 66.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
