Abstract
A data communications system includes a data display (3) in a mask or helmet visor (2) to enable the user to display various data as needed. The system has a mask (1) or a helmet with a voice transmitter (4) with a microphone (5) as well as a transmitter unit (6) on the output side. The system has a receiver unit (15) for the data display (3) on the input side. An evaluating unit (8) is equipped with a receiver unit (7) and a transmitter unit (14) for data communication with the transmitter and receiver units (6, 15) of the mask (1) or of the helmet. The evaluating unit (8) receives the measured data from at least one measuring device (21, 22, 23) via associated transmitter units (11, 12, 13). The evaluating unit (8) has stored, preset voice patterns and is voice-controlled, so that depending on the voice signals received by the receiver unit (7) and after comparison with the stored, preset voice patterns, it transmits selected measured data to the receiver unit (15), and these measured data are displayed in the data display (3).
