Abstract

Provided are a portable security device having a rescue request function based on IoT which sprays tear gas to perform self-protection, automatically transmits a rescue request message and notifies a rescue requester of a response of a rescuer to the rescue request message to relieve the rescue requester, and a security system using the same.

Claims

1. A portable security device having an Internet of Things (IoT) based rescue request function, comprising:

a main switch for selecting a rescue request function in case of emergency and receiving a security function and operation command;

a security application execution unit for executing a security application when a security function is selected through the main switch;

a camera for capturing an image when photographing is selected through the main switch;

a voice input unit for receiving a voice input through a microphone in case of the security function;

a security controller for generating rescue request information including the image captured by the camera, the voice acquired through the voice input unit and security information stored in an internal memory according to the security application executed by the security application execution unit, and controlling transmission of the generated rescue request information; and

a communication unit for establishing local wireless communication with a smartphone, converting the rescue request information into wireless data by interoperating with the security controller and transmitting the wireless data to the smartphone.

2. The portable security device according to claim 1, wherein the communication unit receives a response signal to the rescue request information, transmitted from the smartphone, and transmits the response signal to the security controller to achieve bidirectional communications.

3. The portable security device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a vibration generator for generating vibration upon the transmission of the rescue request information or reception of the response signal under a control of the security controller;

a power supply including a rechargeable battery; and

a display for displaying a charging state of the rechargeable battery and captured pictures or images and visually indicating a rescue request or a response signal when the rescue request or the response signal is received,

wherein the power supply serves as an auxiliary battery for charging a portable device with power stored in the rechargeable battery when connected to the portable device.

4. The portable security device according to claim 1, wherein the camera photographs a surrounding environment to capture the image for remote monitoring and tracking when the security function is not used according to a function input through the main switch, and the security controller controls the image acquired by the camera to be transmitted through the communication unit when a non-security function is executed, maps the captured image to date and time information and stores the mapped information in the internal memory.

5. The portable security device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a laser/light driver to emit a laser and high-luminance light under a control of the security controller;

a function selection switch for selecting a CCTV function or an emergency alert function; and

an alarm sound generator for generating an alarm sound under the control of the security controller,

wherein the laser/light driver serves as a light when a non-security function is executed, and the alarm sound generator generates the alarm sound through a speaker when the emergency alert function is executed or a first stage of a trigger is operated.

6. The portable security device according to claim 1, further comprising a trigger switch for detecting an operating state of a trigger according to user manipulation and delivering the detected operating state to the security controller,

wherein the security controller controls opening of a nozzle cover covering a nozzle for spraying a tear gas, automatic transmission of rescue request information, generation of alarm and emission of high-luminance light upon detection of a first stage operation through the trigger switch and controls spray of a dacryogenic solution upon detection of a second stage operation through the trigger switch.

7. The portable security device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a body;

a handle provided to the body and providing convenience in use of the security device; and

a handle button for folding and unfolding the handle according to user manipulation,

wherein the handle is folded into or unfolded from the body in a sliding manner.

8. A security system using a portable security device having an IoT based rescue request function, comprising:

the potable security device performing a real-time rescue request on a basis of the IoT and executing a security function in case of emergency and normally serving as a CCTV;

a smartphone establishing a local wireless network connection with the portable security device through Wi-Fi Direct, extracting map information using current position information when rescue request information is generated from the portable security device, mapping the extracted map information, a rescue request image, current date and time information and rescuer terminal information to one another and transmitting the mapped information as rescue information to a security server; and

the security server receiving the rescue information transmitted from the smartphone, generating a security message on a basis of the rescue information and transmitting the security message to a rescuer terminal.

9. The security system according to claim 8, wherein the portable security device comprises:

a main switch for selecting a rescue request function in case of emergency situation and receiving a security function and operation command;

a security application execution unit for executing a security application when a security function is selected through the main switch;

a camera for capturing an image when photographing is selected through the main switch;

a voice input unit for receiving a voice input through a microphone in case of the security function;

a power supply including a rechargeable battery;

a security controller for generating the rescue request information including the image captured by the camera, the voice acquired through the voice input unit and security information stored in an internal memory according to the security application executed by the security application execution unit, and controlling transmission of the generated rescue request information;

a communication unit for establishing local wireless communications with a smartphone, converting the rescue request information into wireless data by interoperating with the security controller and transmitting the wireless data to the smartphone;

a laser/light driver to emit a laser and high-luminance light under a control of the security controller;

a function selection switch for selecting a CCTV function or an emergency alert function;

an alarm sound generator for generating an alarm sound under the control of the security controller;

a vibration generator for generating vibration upon the transmission of the rescue request information or reception of a response signal under the control of the security controller;

a display for displaying a charging state of the rechargeable battery and captured pictures or images and visually indicating the rescue request or the response signal when the rescue request or the response signal is received;

a body;

a handle providing convenience in use of the security device; and

a handle button for folding and unfolding the handle according to user manipulation.
