theft, murder, etc., request help and identify the

Security system for personal protection.

Technical sector

The present invention is related to the defense of people in situations of assault of rape, theft, murder, etc., proposing a security system for personal protection that allows the person being robbed to request help discreetly by sending a photograph of the aggressor to a third party. State of the art

Personal assaults of rape, robbery, murder, etc. are very frequent, which generally causes insecurity and, in addition, can lead to physical and psychological damage in people who suffer such aggression, so they have developed various prevention methods and techniques to deal with such situations, such as advice and tactics of self-protection to follow when these circumstances occur, there are also techniques to provide external protection assistance, such as the authorization of protected areas by security guards, police or systems of video surveillance.

The presence of police or security guards is an effective measure against attacks, as security members can not only identify the aggression and the aggressor, but can also intervene to stop the aggression and take action.

The installation of video surveillance cameras, allows the recording of the aggressions, for the subsequent identification, detention and punishment of the aggressors. This system makes it possible to increase security in areas with the presence of surveillance persons, also providing security in places without the presence of vigilant persons, since the possibility of a future identification of the aggressors represents an effective means of prevention, resulting in many cases of deterrence.

However, not all places have such security systems, so in the event that preventive measures are not enough and a person is attacked, there are self-protection systems such as irritating aerosols or self-defense techniques, but this in the case of not being successful can provoke a violent reaction on the part of the aggressor, reason why the preventive instructions recommend collaborating as much as possible with the aggressor, to try to avoid the violent attitudes of the same.

In these cases, the subsequent identi fi cation of the aggressor is essentially based on the victim's memory, which is not usually very clear from a traumatic situation of this type, resulting in many times very complicated or even impossible identification.

On the other hand, there are known security systems applied, for example, in establishments, banks, etc., in which silent alarms are arranged in communication with a remote security center or service, so that, when a robbery occurs, An emergency signal can be activated, without the robber being aware, avoiding a violent reaction and giving security services time to access the site. Object of the invention

In accordance with the present invention a security system for personal protection is proposed, which has been developed with characteristics that discreetly aggressor, by sending a photograph to a remote receiver.

This security system object of the invention consists of a module that the user can carry in any complement of their clothing or personal equipment, this module comprising a camera associated with a wireless transmission transmitter and in combination with said module, preferably by wireless connection, a remote activator that the user can take in turn in any part of their personal clothing or equipment.

A system is thus obtained with which the user, when attacked, can activate the trigger, so that the camera takes a picture of the aggressor, which is sent by the transmitting transmitter to a remote receiver, thus producing the sending of a warning of help along with the photograph of the aggressor without him noticing the action.

In this way the user can request help without the risk of a violent response from the aggressor, since he is not aware of the victim's attitude, allowing the security service to determine the optimal action to be taken based on what is observed in the foto and guaranteeing an exact identification of the aggressor.

On the other hand, even if the aggressor is aware of the victim's attitude when he activates the camera's trigger, he can no longer avoid sending the photograph and identifying it, which can serve as a deterrent to give up the aggression. .

This system therefore achieves an active protection effect, so that its normalization may also be associated with a deterrent effect of the attacks on people, given the ignorance by the aggressors of whether the possible victims have said protection system. .

A protection system is thus obtained that effectively guarantees the identification of the aggressors who act directly against people, and which also allows the user to request help discreetly avoiding violent reactions from the aggressor, and enabling security services to go during the victim's own aggression in aid of the victim, so that said security system results from advantageous characteristics that make it of a preferential nature with respect to the conventional systems destined for the same function. Description of the fi gures

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the functional set of the security system object of the invention.

Figure 2 shows in schematic an embodiment of the security system installed in a dress jacket. Detailed description of the invention

The object of the invention refers to a security system, according to an embodiment that allows the user who suffers a personal aggression, to discreetly take a photograph of the aggressor and send said photograph to a remote receiver, to ask for help and identify the aggressor.

The recommended system consists of a module (1), in which a photographic camera (2) associated with a wireless transmission transmitter (3) is integrated.

in relation to said module (1) an activator (4), by means of which the photographic camera (2) and the transmitter (3) are put into operation, to take a picture and send it by wireless transmission to a receiver (5) remote.

The activator (4) can be formed by any actionable device capable of triggering the shooting of the photographic camera (2) and the operation of the transmitter (3), said activator (4) being able to be connected with the module (1) by means of a cable, but preferably a wireless communication connection is provided.

The remote receiver (5) destined to receive the photographs taken by the camera (2) and sent by the sender (3), can be in any case any type of device or device capable of capturing, storing and displaying the photographs it receives , such as a computer, a mobile phone, etc.

With said composition, for the application of the recommended system the module (1) can be arranged in any complement of the user's clothing or personal equipment, such as a button, a watch, a ring, etc., and the activator ( 4) It can be carried in any easily accessible place of clothing or personal equipment, such as in a pocket. Figure 2 represents a practical example of the arrangement of the system in a jacket (6), without this provision being limiting, since it can be any other depending on the clothing and personal equipment of the application user.

Thus, when the user of the system suffers a personal aggression, only the activator (4) has to act, so that the camera (2) takes a picture of the aggressor, which is sent by the sender (3) to the receiver (5) remote, where said photograph is received as a request for help in real time, allowing the identification of the aggressor and verifying in a real way the circumstances in which the aggression is taking place, so that appropriate measures are taken.

In relation to the security system and according to its function, in relation to the module (1) there is also a GPS device (7), to transmit, by means of the transmitter (3), together with the photograph taken by the camera (2), the coordinates of the place where the user is located, thus facilitating its location for timely intervention of protection of the same, during the action of an aggression

or most immediately after such action.

Said GPS device (7) can be arranged in any part of the user's clothing of the security system, for example in a pocket from which a connection can be established by means of a cable to the module (1), without altering the performance of use and comfort of the corresponding garment; but also, the connection between the GPS device

(7)

and the module (1) can be of the wireless type, thus allowing to incorporate each of the elements at the user's convenience, without any limitation conditioned by the connection between the elements.

2. Statement motivated according to articles 29.6 and 29.7 of the Regulations for the execution of Law 11/1986, of March 20, on Patents on novelty and inventive activity; quotes and explanations in support of this statement The claimed invention presents a security system for personal protection. Document D01, closest to the object claimed, is considered as document D01, which affects the novelty and inventive activity of all claims, as explained below:  R1 independent claim Document D01 (page 2, line 1 - page 3, line 9; figure 1) discloses a security system for personal protection comprising a module with a camera, a wireless transmitter and an activator that takes a picture and sends it to a remote receiver in case of aggression, theft, etc. In this case the trigger is a microphone, since the system described by document D01 responds to voice commands. Therefore, the object of claim R1 does not meet the novelty requirement set forth in Art. 6.1 LP  R2-R4 dependent claims The security system for personal protection described by document D01 can be arranged in any personal accessory of the user and also includes a GPS for its location. Therefore, claims R2 and R3 are novel in view of what is disclosed in document D01 (page 7, lines 2-9) (Art. 6.1 LP). On the other hand, nothing is indicated in claim R4 that is not common knowledge in the field of communications and therefore it is considered obvious by a person skilled in the art to connect the activator with the camera and / or transmitter wirelessly. Therefore, it is considered that claim R4 does not contain features that involve inventive activity (Art. 8.1 LP). State of the Art Report Page 4/4
