Abstract

An early-warning system for disasters includes at least one sensor unit, a person-position detection module, a primary control module and a warning module. The system utilizes various sensor units, a Bluetooth communication module and a wireless network communication module and the like person-position detection module to detect and thus generate at least four disaster-sign factors. According to pre-disaster alert classification rules in algorithms tables, a plurality of indexes and a plurality of pre-disaster alert classes can be obtained so as to transmit pre-disaster-management reminder information corresponding to the judged pre-disaster alert class to the warning module, and so people can be alerted verbally, lightly or in a wording manner and thus prepared in time prior to an occurrence of a disaster.

Claims

1. An early-warning system for disasters, comprising:

at least one sensor unit, detecting at least one disaster-sign factor within a controlled space;

a person-position detection module, being to detect a user and then to generate a user position;

a primary control module, connected communicatively with the sensor unit and the person-position detection module, further including;

a disaster classification database, basing on the disaster-sign factor to set up at least one pre-disaster alert classification rule, further basing on the pre-disaster alert classification rule to define at least one pre-disaster-management regime;

a disaster response database, storing at least one pre-disaster-management reminder information corresponding to the pre-disaster alert classification rule and the pre-disaster-management regime; and

a management unit, electrically coupled with the disaster classification database and the disaster response database, issuing an alert signal including the pre-disaster-management reminder information after the user position is judged to be within the pre-disaster-management regime; and

a warning module, connected communicatively with the management unit so as to receive the alert signal and further to broadcast the pre-disaster-management reminder information.

2. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 1, wherein the disaster response database further stores positions of at least one disaster reduction tool.

3. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 2, wherein the disaster-management reminder information further includes the positions of at least one disaster reduction tool.

4. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 1, wherein the person-position detection module is a human-body infrared sensor for determining the user position by infrared-detecting a body temperature of the user.

5. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 1, wherein the person-position detection module is a wireless transmission module for detecting the user position of the user having a handheld device via a communicative positioning technique.

6. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 5, wherein the wireless transmission module includes a Bluetooth unit for detecting the user position of the user having the handheld device.

7. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 5, wherein the wireless transmission module includes a wireless network transmission unit connected communicatively with a server, the server detecting the user position of the user having the handheld device via a cellular-phone positioning technique.

8. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 5, wherein the wireless transmission module is to further transmit the alert signal to a server for the server to transmit the alert signal to the handheld device so as to broadcast the pre-disaster-management reminder information in a word message manner.

9. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 1, wherein the warning module further includes a warning message unit for broadcasting verbally the pre-disaster-management reminder information.

10. The early-warning system for disasters of claim 1, wherein the pre-disaster-management reminder information further includes management time limits of pre-disaster alert class.
