Abstract

In rapid speed automobiles, a multi-functional communication system having the characteristics of a) recording the afferent information of the body in the form of the five senses of a human (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling), b) translating the efferent capabilities of the human, such as speaking and muscle movements, into electronic information for the initiation of devices in the automobile, and c) directly initiating a braking action with the aid of centrally cortical brain-thought detection, can be attached to and received in the firm head strap and the chin strap of the head safety belt attached thereto in a fold-away manner.

Description

HEAD SAFETY BELT WITH MULTIFUNCTIONAL COMMUNICATION I ONS SYSTEM

Drivers of modern cars are increasingly turning to their own personal language for initiating devices in the car, such as a car. Initiation of the car radio and its transmitter selection or road maps with linguistic instruction of the direction of travel (so-called navigation system). In the latter, the driver's route to his predetermined destination is not only displayed on the screen, but also announced. The driver has to confirm what he says with words. Thus, the driver enters into real communication with the device.

Oa future cars will move at ever higher speeds, motorists and passengers to their own personal safety in addition to the usual body safety belts also wear safety belts for the head, because the usual today airbags act satisfactorily only up to an impact speed of 50 km / h ( 30 mph).

It makes sense to build a multifunctional communication system for the driver on the head - belt, so that in addition to communicative improvement at the same time also higher safety for the head of the car driver and higher safety for all occupants are achieved.

State of the art

Schmücker describes in the utility model DE 202005014 874 U1 dated 12.09.2005 a head-safety belt with a fixed headband and it hinged chin guard.

Rodemer and Ohlenburger describe in DE 100 33 985 A1 of 13.7.2000 mounts for microphones on the body-seat belt, so that a communication in the near region of the mouth of the driver or several vehicle occupants with each other is possible. However, there is also the possibility of communicating accordingly in hazardous situations with areas outside the vehicle. Yandle, in US 5,162,006 A dated June 18, 1991, describes safety equipment in conjunction with a seat belt system consisting of a vest with inflatable and transparent airbag and a breathing mask that allows a vehicle occupant to safely travel over a two-minute period to leave.

task

The subject of the application is based on the object to increase the safety of drivers and passengers in cars, that the reaction time is reduced in dangerous situations and a distraction of the driver from the traffic during the execution of ancillary activities is largely avoided.

invention

The individual components of the multifunctional communication system are built on the headband and chin guard of a head-belt.

The individual components of the multifunctional communication system concern the technical devices for the respective implementation of a) the human five senses (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and feeling) as afferent head powers, b) human abilities in the head area (speaking, size of the eye pupil depending on the Light irradiation, muscular movement of the facial muscles) as efferent head powers, c) brain-current-controlled impulses eg for faster acceleration of the car without time delay due to the latency of the long nerve tracts to the peripheral muscle of the legs. This scan of central cortical brain thinking processes of the cerebrum using the technique of non - touching of the head appears to be possible in the near future. First investigations with magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) in persons with violent, sudden thought process have already proved this possibility.

As FIG. 1 shows in simplified form in the attached drawing, the multifunctional communication system on the head-belt 10 of a motorist 1 may include the following devices and devices: - Speak:

Here, speech can be picked up by means of a microphone 4 on the chin strap 3 of the head-belt, so as to be able to be used e.g. initiate the initiation of technical devices in the car or serve as part of a telephone system. In the navigation systems, the words of the driver 1 can be recorded via this microphone 4. Via a speaker 14 for the ear 16, a voice dialogue with the navigation device can be performed.

- Listen:

Here the driver can receive words via a loudspeaker 14 near his ear. This speaker 14 is useful for the navigation system of a car, but it would also be good for the announcement of occurred engine damage while driving or the announcement of errors in the diagnostic test of the electronics. So far, such electronic diagnostic tests run on a monitor screen in the workshop. Such search and control systems for technical errors can all lead via this speaker as speaking information to the driver.

- See:

Here, with glasses 7, which is attached to the stirrup 10 of the head-safety belt, the eyesight of the driver can be improved. It is also applicable glasses 7 but also when driving with polarized light as a remedy for dazzling phenomena by oncoming vehicles at night dark. With this fold-down glasses 7 a practical solution for driving with polarized light would be given.

- smell or breath:

Via the nose, e.g. Outdoor air can be brought directly from the exterior of the car, but this airway 6 currently has no significance in the automotive industry

- Taste :

About a verbal initiation while driving a drinking tube 5, which is attached to the chin strap 3 of the head-safety belt, could be brought to the mouth. The driver's gaze would have to be drunk while driving e.g. can not be averted on the highway and thus this solution would be an excellent solution especially for (professional) solo driver to avoid accidents by distraction from the actual driving.

- Sampling of central cortical brain thinking processes of the cerebrum:

For such a scan 13, the first steps have been carried out by means of magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). For the shortening of the latency from the recognition of the danger to the onset of braking, the direct connection from the brain to the car brake with elimination of the long nerve fibers of the brake leg is desirable.
