    SECURITY SYSTEM FOR THE DETECTION OF PROXIMITY AND / OR PRESENCE OF PEOPLE, ANIMALS OR OBJECTS
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention falls within the scope of presence and / or proximity detection devices and, in general, in the technical field related to safety.
    More specifically, the object of the invention relates to a detection system based on the interaction of a pair of sender / receiver type devices, preferably intended to control the presence or proximity of people, animals or objects. The system also has a simple implementation and operation compared to other alternatives in the state of the art.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Currently, there are different systems of proximity detection of people and objects on the market, based on a principle of detection by geographical location. Some of these systems are based, for example, on GPS (Global Positioning System) technology or mobile telephony. In these systems there is not, as such, a direct detection by pairs (for example, a pair formed by the object to be detected and the owner of said object), but each of the members of the pair is individually located from a central remote and then you can
    25 determine, with greater or lesser precision, the distance between them. These systems have an excessive complexity since they are necessarily linked to sophisticated technology devices (satellite or telephone networks) whose scope of operation is also restricted to areas of limited coverage or may be affected by weather conditions or the environment where find that pair.
    There are also, within the technical solutions pertaining to this field, proximity detection systems based on direct communication between pairs of elements by means of radio frequency signals, within which the present invention is encompassed. Most of these systems are based on a principle of
    This operation ensures that the elements of the pair do not separate, that is, they activate one or more alarm subsystems if the distance between them exceeds a fixed threshold value or


    determined by the user. The normal mode of operation of these systems corresponds to the fact that, the signal emitted by one of the elements of the pair (emitting element), is continuously received by the other (receiving element) if it is sufficiently close to the first .
    In an area of application of the previous systems, referred to the monitoring and study of animal species, said systems generally incorporate an emitting device that is placed in the animal and that periodically transmits a signal received by a receiving station, usually of considerable size, which allows to know the position and course of the animal (distance and direction).
    In another area, child protection systems are also known in the state of the art, where a cuff-shaped device is incorporated that places the child to be protected, and which incorporates an audible alarm that can be activated well at will with another module that emits a signal (for example, in US patent US 5936530) or automatically when overcoming a certain distance (for example, in US patent 6542080).
    On the other hand, in US patent 5646593 another proximity detector for children is described based on an emitting device that the father carries and that sends a coded signal (which identifies the father) periodically and that when it is received by the module that carries the The child responds with another coded signal (which identifies the child), so that if the parent stops receiving the signal an alarm is activated. This system is designed for a parent to monitor one or more children and does not incorporate or supervision of the operation, integrity or maintenance, or functions linked to a telephone interface.
    Although the previous systems involve solutions suitable for communication and control between pairs of sender / receiver devices for the detection of people, animals or objects, all of them have an important limitation related to the risk associated with the receiver device ceasing to function properly. , for example in case of breakdown, or due to the wear and tear of the batteries included in the transmitting or receiving devices.
    Taking into account this technical problem, systems have been raised in the market that allow to increase the life of the battery used to power the transmitting or receiving devices. Although the use of very low power electronic circuits has made


    With the use of smaller batteries possible, the life of a battery remains largely a factor of its physical size. In this regard, US Patent 5650770 discloses a personal alarm system in which its emission device normally transmits at low power and changes to a higher power when the distance between said device a base station exceeds a predetermined threshold. However, despite the fact that this solution allows you to extend the life of the battery, it does not eliminate the risk when it runs out.
    As a consequence of the above, it is necessary to have alternatives available in the market that allow for increased security in the event of a malfunction, so that the users of the receiving devices can be alerted to proceed to repair them in the event of a breakdown. , or to recharge / replace the batteries involved in case of battery drain. The present invention is intended to solve said need, by means of a novel security system whose design eliminates the drawbacks of known systems.
    The system of the invention can preferably be used in security applications, for example as an anti-theft or anti-loss means for objects such as keys, suitcases, electronic devices, etc., so that the system user is alerted when these objects are at a distance greater than a certain predetermined threshold level.
    Likewise, the system of the invention also has a preferred application as a means of monitoring people, such as children, so that the user of the system is alerted when the person under surveillance moves a distance greater than a certain predetermined threshold level.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    A detailed description of the invention, referring to a
    5 preferred embodiment thereof based on Figure 1 of this document. As shown in said figure, the present invention relates to a detection system consisting essentially of at least one sending device (1) and one receiving device (2), configured with different communication means intended for the exchange of information between them, so that the sending device (1)
    10 generate electromagnetic signals for wireless reception by the receiving device (2). Preferably, the emitter (1) and receiver (2) devices are small in size, and can easily be integrated into objects such as bracelets, necklaces, bracelets, key chains, keys, cards, clothing, footwear, luggage, bags, backpacks, work tools, consumer electronics equipment, etc.
    The emitting device (1) of the system of the invention preferably comprises an emitting circuit (3) for the emission of communication signals, comprising, for example, radio frequency (RF) signals, which can operate under a standard


    Industrial Bluetooth type or similar. For the transmission of the generated signals, the transmitter circuit (1) is connected to an emission antenna (4).
    Additionally, for the supply of the emitter circuit (3) and / or other of its components, the emitter device (1) comprises a power battery (5), which can be a rechargeable battery. In this case, the battery (5) will be connected to a charging circuit (6) and a charging port (7), for example a USB ("Universal Serial Bus") type port that can be connected to mains power. Said charging port (7) may optionally comprise a charge indicator (8) or battery level (5), for example an LED indicator ("Light-Emitting Diode").
    Optionally, the emitting device (1) may comprise an emission distance regulator (9) (for example, based on a potentiometer), which allows the user of said device (1) to configure the emission distance threshold under which it will operate the RF emitter circuit (3). Typically, the operating range of the sending device (1) will be the same
    or less than 50 m, and preferably equal to or less than 10 m. In object security applications (for example, anti-theft), said threshold may be equal to or less than 3 m.
    For its part, the receiving device (2) of the system of the invention preferably comprises a receiving circuit (10) configured to wirelessly tune and receive the communication signals emitted by the sending device (1). For this, the receiver circuit (2) is connected to a receiving antenna (11). Likewise, for the supply of the receiver circuit (10) and / or other of its components, the receiving device (2) comprises a first power battery (12), which can be a rechargeable battery. In that case, said first battery (12) will be connected to a charging circuit (13) and a charging port (14), for example a USB type port connectable to mains power. As with the sending device (1), the charging port (14) of the receiving device (2) may optionally comprise a charge indicator (15) or level of the first battery (11), for example a LED indicator
    To control the general operation of the receiving device (2), it preferably has a switch (16) for activating the receiving circuit (10), as well as the rest of its elements.


    Optionally, the receiving device (2) may comprise a reception distance regulator (17) (for example, based on a potentiometer), which allows the user of said device (2) to configure the reception distance threshold under which it will operate the receiver circuit (10). The typical operating ranges configured by the regulator (17) are analogous to those described above for the regulator (9) of the emitting device (1).
    The essential operating principle of the invention for detecting the presence or proximity of the sending device (1) by the receiving device (2) is preferably based on the fact that the sending device (1) will be continuously emitting, its corresponding signal within the threshold set, where appropriate, by the regulator
    (9) emission distance. For its part, the receiving device (2) is configured for the reception of said signal, also using a distance threshold (in case of using a corresponding regulator (17)) compatible with the threshold of the sending device (1). In this context, the detection status will occur by default as long as the signal is received correctly.
    If this signal is not received (for example, when the devices (1, 2) are too far apart, or when some of them are not operational), an alarm subsystem (18) included in the device will be activated. receiver (2), which may be for example a buzzer, a vibrator, a sound or light signaling device, or a combination of the above.
    To control the behavior of the alarm subsystem (18), it is connected to a control and power circuit (19), which also includes a second auxiliary safety battery (20). Said second auxiliary battery (20) will power the alarm subsystem (18) for the operation of its signaling, vibration elements, etc. Said second auxiliary battery (20) can be rechargeable, and optionally connected to the charging circuit (13) of the receiving device (2). In a possible embodiment of the invention, the control circuit (19) can be activated and deactivated through a switch (16).
    The presence of the second auxiliary battery (20), in combination with the alarm subsystem (18) and the control and signaling circuit (19), allows the operation problem to be resolved in the event of a malfunction or exhaustion of the first battery (12), which constitutes a limitation of the prior art systems. So, when said


    First battery (12) stops supplying electricity to the elements of the receiving device (2), this does not cause the system to deactivate, but instead activates the alarm subsystem (18) to indicate the need for device repair (2) or replacement or recharge of the first main battery (12). With that, since the second
    5 auxiliary battery (20) will always have a lower consumption demand than the first main battery (12), it is achieved that the user is always alerted when it expires its useful life.
    The activation of the control and power circuit (19) and, therefore, of the subsystem of
    10 alarm (18), is preferably carried out through a control relay (21) that connects the reception circuit (10) with said control circuit (19). Thus, through the detection or non-detection status (that is, when the signal emitted by the emitting device (1)) of the system is received or not, said relay (21) blocks or activates, respectively, the operation of the alarm subsystem (18), generating a warning to the user according to the
    15 chosen performance (vibration, sound, light, etc.). Also, as described in the previous paragraph, in case of exhaustion or malfunction of the first main battery (12), the control relay (21) will activate the control circuit (19) (powered by the second auxiliary battery ( 20)), also alerting the user of this situation. This includes, for example, situations in which communication between the sending devices (1) and
    The receiver (2) cannot be established, either by natural causes or by human intervention, for example through the use of a frequency inhibitor. Again, when said communication between devices (1,2) is not possible, this causes the alarm system (18) to activate, alerting the user of the existence of the incident.
