1. A method of automatically transferring information about a fall or overturn accident using a smart phone, the method comprising:
by an elder customer terminal assigned to an elder customer, detecting a fall or overturn accident via a 3-axis acceleration sensor, and sending a fall or overturn detection message, including its own ID information and a fall or overturn state, to a controller based on the detection;
by the controller, receiving the fall or overturn detection message, generating fall or overturn detection information based on the received fall or overturn detection message, and registering the fall or overturn detection information with a database; and
by the controller, configuring a message based on the fall or overturn detection information, and notifying the smart phone of the message based on the fall or overturn detection information.
2. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
the elder customer terminal outputs an emergency alarm or drives an LED alarm lamp when the fall or overturn accident is detected; or
the elder customer terminal outputs the emergency alarm or drives the LED alarm lamp in compliance with a command from the controller.
3. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
the elder customer terminal comprises a GPS module;
the elder customer terminal adds position information, received from the GPS module, to the fall or overturn detection message, and then sends the fall or overturn detection message to the controller; and
the controller adds the position information to the fall or overturn detection information and to the message based on the fall or overturn detection information, and then provides the message to the smart phone.
4. The method as set forth in claim 3, wherein:
the smart phone, when receiving the message including the position information, displays the position information on a map and displays part of the message based on the fall or overturn detection information; and
the fall or overturn detection information comprises a name, sex, and age of an elder customer corresponding to the elder customer terminal.
5. The method as set forth in claim 1, wherein:
the message based on the fall or overturn detection information is an SMS message, an MMS message, or a push notification message;
preset discriminators are inserted among items of the message; and
the smart phone parses character strings of the items of the message using the discriminators.
6. A system for automatically transferring information about a fall or overturn accident using a smart phone, the system comprising:
an elder customer terminal assigned to an elder customer, and configured to sense the fall or overturn accident via a 3-axis acceleration sensor and to send a fall or overturn detection message, including its own ID information and fall or overturn state, based on the detection; and
a controller configured to receive the fall or overturn detection message, to generate fall or overturn detection information based on the received fall or overturn detection message, to register the fall or overturn detection information with a database, to configure a message based on the fall or overturn detection information, and to notify the smart phone of the message based on the fall or overturn detection information.
7. The system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the elder customer terminal outputs an emergency alarm or drives an LED alarm lamp when the fall or overturn accident is detected, or the elder customer terminal outputs the emergency alarm or drives the LED alarm lamp in compliance with a command from the controller.
8. The system as set forth in claim 6, wherein:
the elder customer terminal comprises a GPS module;
the elder customer terminal adds position information, received from the GPS module, to the fall or overturn detection message, and then sends the fall or overturn detection message to the controller; and
the controller adds the position information to the fall or overturn detection information and to the message based on the fall or overturn detection information, and then provides the message to the smart phone.
9. The system as set forth in claim 8, wherein:
the smart phone, when receiving the message including the position information, displays the position information on a map and displays part of the message based on the fall or overturn detection information; and
the fall or overturn detection information comprise a name, sex, and age of an elder customer corresponding to the elder customer terminal.
10. The system as set forth in claim 6, wherein:
the message based on the fall or overturn detection information is an SMS message, an MMS message, or a push notification message;
preset discriminators are inserted among items of the message; and
the smart phone parses character strings of the items of the message using the discriminators.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A pump jack pole brace comprising:
a U-shaped yoke member having a first leg and a second leg; and
a latch plate assembly having a first side slidably and pivotably attached to the first leg, and a second side having a tab which engages with the second leg to form a closed envelope with the yoke.
2. A brace as described in claim 1 wherein the assembly includes a tensioner for tightening the assembly against the poles.
3. A brace as described in claim 2 wherein the first leg has an attachment portion for attaching the assembly to the yoke.
4. A brace as described in claim 3 including means for attaching the first side to the attachment portion.
5. A brace as described in claim 4 wherein the tab is fixed in a permanent position to the second side.
6. A brace as described in claim 5 wherein the tensioner includes a threaded handle.
7. A brace as described in claim 6 wherein the attachment portion includes a hinge barrel.
8. A brace as described in claim 7 wherein the second leg includes a yoke slot in which the tab engages to form the closed envelope.
9. A brace as described in claim 8 wherein the first side includes a horizontal slot through which the attachment means extends to attach the member to the assembly.
10. A brace as described in claim 9 wherein the assembly includes a top through which the threaded assembly extends, a first side connected to the top having the horizontal slot, and a second side connected to the top having another horizontal slot in alignment with the horizontal slot.
11. A brace as described in claim 10 wherein the attachment means includes a bolt.
12. A brace as described in claim 10 wherein the attachment means includes a rivet.
13. A method for securing a pole for use of a pump jack system comprising the steps of:
pivoting a latch plate assembly about a first leg of a yoke member from an open position about the pole to a partially closed position about the pole; and
sliding the assembly forward to a second leg of the member relative to the first leg into a fully closed position about the pole wherein a tab of the assembly is inserted into a yoke slot of the member.
14. A method as described in claim 13 including the step of tightening a threaded handle that extends through the assembly against the pole.
15. A method for securing a pole for use of a pump jack system comprising the steps of:
placing a brace about the pole; and
securing the brace to the pole using only one hand.
