DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a configuration and operation of a danger warning device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a danger warning device incorporated in a shoe of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a danger warning device incorporated in the shoe of the present invention, and FIG. Will be described together with an example of the use state according to the embodiment of the risk notification device.

A danger notification device embedded in a shoe to which the technique of the present invention is applied includes a sensor module 120 for detecting an impact and a pulse acting on the wearer's foot, And a case 140 for inserting the sensor module 120, the control module 130 and the power supply battery 141. The control module 130 transmits the status information and the position information to the controller, (110).

The sensor module 120 comprises a shock sensor 121 and a pulse sensor 122. The sensor module 120 measures a value according to a sensed shock and a pulse, converts the measured value into a digital signal, and transmits the digital signal to the control module 130. The impact sensor 121 is a type of a piezoelectric sensor, and operates as a basic principle for converting a pressure of a predetermined level or higher into an electrical signal. Generally, when walking, a certain impact is formed on the floor of the shoe 200 due to the weight of the wearer and the rolling motion. The impact sensor 121 senses the impact and transmits it to the control module 130. That is, the control module 130 recognizes that the wearer is in a dangerous state when the occurrence of the shock value sensed by the shock sensor 121 is out of the usual pattern.

The pulse sensor 122 is a kind of sensor for living body which is generally used in the medical field and is a sensor for measuring data about a living body. The sensor is made of the same principle as that of industrial sensors, but is further downsized and highly sensitive so as not to cause a change in state as it adheres to a living body. The pulse of the shoe wearer can be measured in real time through the pulse sensor 122 because a strong pulse is generated in the foot arch artery located in the middle of the foot and the back tongue artery located in the inner side of the ankle. Accordingly, when the pulse of the wearer sensed by the pulse sensor 122 deviates from the normal value, the control module 130 recognizes that the wearer is in a dangerous state as in the case of the impact sensor 121. [ The detailed configuration of the impact sensor 121 and the pulse sensor 122 is well known in the art and will not be described in detail.

The control module 130 is composed of a microchip or a nanochip 133 and analyzes signals of the sensor module 120 and controls operation of the entire device based on the result of the analysis. In addition, it is preferable that the power supply circuit constitute a circuit using a regulator 134 which can stabilize the input / output voltage to reduce power consumption compared with a general circuit. This is a great advantage in that the danger notification device of the present invention is incorporated in the shoe 200, thereby realizing a further miniaturization, thereby preventing the wearer from giving a separate foreign object.

Therefore, the control module 130 analyzes the result of the detection of the abnormal point in the pattern of the occurrence of the shock value or the result of checking the wearer's pulse out of the normal value through the signal of the sensor module 120, . For example, in a dangerous situation, when the wearer's foot rolling behavior occurs consecutively on one foot or when a sudden change occurs in speed, unlike the general gait, when the shoe 200 is suddenly peeled off, And the control module 130 analyzes the occurrence of the failure.

The GPS module 131 and the Bluetooth module are combined and controlled by the control module 130 in the control unit 110 of the danger notification device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention to notify the wearer of a dangerous situation from a wearer at a remote location . In other words, if the control module 130 determines the danger, it generates the wearer's status information and generates position information in cooperation with the GPS module 131. [ In addition, the Bluetooth module 132, which is a near-field wireless communication technology, transmits the wearer's status information and position information to the wearer in cooperation with the wearer's smartphone, thereby immediately notifying the wearer of the dangerous situation.

The control module 130 is configured to interoperate with the notification module 150 including the vibration unit 151 and the voice unit 152 so that the wearer can recognize the state of the user in a dangerous situation, do. Particularly, when the wearer loses consciousness in a dangerous situation, the control module 130 can determine the wearer's consciousness through the detection of the sensor module 120. Accordingly, So that it can be retrieved.

 The case 140 may be formed in the shape of a heel of the shoe 200 and may be embedded in the heel of the shoe 200 or attached to the heel itself. The sensor module 120 and the control module 130 are interposed and the battery 141 is also inserted. It is preferable that the material of the case 140 is made of a polycarbonate material having excellent electrical insulation, durability and weatherability so as to protect the device from external impact and provide a waterproof life.

The controller 110 further includes an insole 160 formed with an overvoltage resistor 161 so as to be inserted into the shoe 200 and connected thereto so as to protect the wearer when an overvoltage occurs in the controller 110 . Even if the power supply circuit is constituted by the circuit of the regulator 134, the wearer's body is safely protected through the overvoltage resistor 161 in consideration of an unusual situation that a surplus overvoltage may occur. The overvoltage resistor 161 can be formed by constructing a circuit including a resistor made of a carbon film resistance, a metal film resistance, or the like using a well-known technique, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, an LED lamp 142 is provided on the outer side of the case 140 to light the battery 141 if the voltage of the battery 141 falls below a predetermined level, thereby informing the wearer of the charging time of the battery 141. The battery 141 can use a lithium battery having a higher voltage and energy density than other batteries. When the battery 141 is worn for about 8 hours a day, it can supply a stable voltage while having a service life of one year or more, You can check the charging time. The LED lamp 142 is preferably attached to the outer circumference of the case 140 so that the wearer can visually confirm the LED lamp 142.

An operation state of the danger warning device built in the shoe to which the technique of the present invention having the above-described configuration is applied will be described below.

Since the shape of the general shoe 200 is composed of a sole, a sole, and a main window, the case 140 forming the outer shape of the control unit 110 is formed in a bend shape in constructing the danger notification apparatus according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention So that it can be embedded in the shoe 200 or as a bend itself. The sensor module 120, the control module 130 and the battery 141 are inserted into the case 140 and the insole 160 having the overvoltage resistor 161 formed therein, ).

When the wearer walks while wearing the shoe 200 with the danger warning device 100 of the present invention, the sensor module 120 and the control module 130 receive power from the battery 141 and operate Start. When an overvoltage occurs, a resistance is formed by the insole 160 to protect the wearer.

Meanwhile, the impact sensor 121 of the sensor module 120 senses an impact occurring in a predetermined pattern according to the wearer's foot cloud, and similarly, the pulse sensor 122 senses a pulse from the foot of the wearer, And transmits a signal to the control module 130.

The control module 130 analyzes whether the shock and pulse are out of a normal pattern through a signal transmitted from the sensor module 120. For example, when the wearer is exposed to a dangerous situation and runs urgently, It is possible to analyze the situation such as when the shoe 200 is peeled off and the pulse is accelerated or slowed down, so that it is judged whether or not the wearer is dangerous according to the result.

Accordingly, in a dangerous situation, the control module 130 generates state information of the wearer, generates positional information through the GPS module 131, interlocks with the smartphone through the Bluetooth module 132, Immediately transmit information and location information. The guardian who receives the information in real time can take other measures and measures so as to secure the safety of the wearer quickly.
