Abstract

The invention relates to a device for analyzing a dive, comprising at least one first arithmetic unit which is intended to be carried by a scuba diver during a dive. The first arithmetic unit is connected to at least one sensor that detects dive-specific parameters. The second arithmetic device comprises a memory device in which dive-specific data can be stored, the first and the second arithmetic unit comprising respective data communication devices. The arithmetic units communicate temporarily with each other to transfer dive-specific data from the first to the second arithmetic unit.

Claims

at least one first arithmetic unit which is provided to be taken with a diver during a dive,

whereby this first arithmetic unit is connected to at least one sensor that detects the dive-specific parameters,

at least one second arithmetic unit, which has a memory device in which dive-specific data can be stored;

characterized by the fact that both this first and this second arithmetic unit have a data-connection device and

this first and second arithmetic unit are connected to one another in time by means of these data-connection devices, in order to transfer dive-specific data from this first arithmetic unit to the second.

2. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the device has at least one third arithmetic unit, which can be connected to the second arithmetic unit (20).

3. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the connection between the third and second arithmetic units and between the second and first arithmetic units is configured so that direct access can be gained from the third arithmetic unit to the first arithmetic unit.

4. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the data on the first and/or second arithmetic units are protected from unauthorized access.

5. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 4, characterized by the fact that a password or data key is necessary to access data.

6. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 2, characterized by the fact that the device has a fourth arithmetic unit which manages access to the data in the second or first arithmetic unit.

7. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the first two arithmetic units can be connected to one another.

8. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the data-connection device in the first arithmetic unit is suitable for transferring data above water.

9. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the data-connection device in the first arithmetic unit is suitable for transferring data under water.

10. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 4, characterized by the fact that data from a dive partner is considered when detecting dive-specific data.

11. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the data-connection device in the first arithmetic unit is suitable for receiving measured values from sensors placed on the diver'"'"'s gear.

12. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that a respiratory rate of the diver is detected on a compressed air tank and is sent to the data-connection device of the first arithmetic unit.

13. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that control signals for devices in the diving gear are generated in the first arithmetic unit.

14. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the data-connection device of the first arithmetic unit is suitable for sending control signals for devices in the diving gear.

15. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that high-power transmitters are attached to the diver'"'"'s gear to send data under water and can be connected to the first arithmetic unit.

16. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the first arithmetic unit also has devices for receiving signals from satellite-supported systems for position-fixing.

17. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the dive-specific data in the first and second arithmetic units have the same format.

18. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the views of the data in the first and second arithmetic units are shown in the same way.

19. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 18, characterized by the fact that a web browser is used as a platform for displaying data.

20. The device for analyzing a dive in claim 1, characterized by the fact that the dive-specific data are processed in the first and/or second arithmetic unit.
