Description

The present invention relates to a device for transmitting biometric data of a mount with a mount to be attached to the mount measuring device for measuring the biometric data of the mount, which is provided with a radio transmitter for transmitting the biometric data.

Such a device is already commercially available as System Polar Equine RS800CX from Polar.

There, however, the speed is only transmitted with a time delay to a wristwatch, which carries the rider. This has the considerable disadvantage that, especially in racing riding, the rider during riding has little opportunity to "look at the clock", since he must release a reins for this purpose and raise his hand in front of the face. The display of such a clock is also far too small to be sensibly read during sporty riding.

Object of the present invention is therefore to further develop a corresponding device for transmitting biometric data of a mount that the rider while riding, even during a race, can constantly track the corresponding data and for this purpose, the reins must not let go.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the apparatus for transmitting biometric data of a mount comprises a pair of goggles or a helmet with a rider's visor, which is released with a suitable receiver for the biometric data transmitted by the radio transmitter mounted on the mount and a display device which displays the biometric data by mirroring an indication in the goggles or visor of the helmet in real time. In this way, it is possible for the first time that a racing rider or jockey such as the driver of a race car constantly data such as speed, distance, heart rate or heart rate of the horse, possibly respiratory rate of the horse or blood pressure, body temperature or oxygen saturation of the horse Blood of the mount has in view. In this way, a rider can recognize in a race at any time, how fast he is, which distance he has already covered, and how the physical condition and the power reserves of the mount are.

For this purpose, it is particularly preferred if the display device additionally has an indication of the speed and / or the distance covered.

If the corresponding biometric data are thus already transmitted by radio, it is appropriate to additionally provide another receiver for the biometric data, which is connected to a computer. In this way, for example, a coach at the edge of the race or training track or the race management of the course of a race or a training session to analyze accurately and determine, for example, to what extent the physiological power reserves of the mount are exhausted.

It is particularly preferred if this further receiver is designed such that it receives the biometric data of several transmitters, i. H. so can receive from several mounts simultaneously and in real time. This is advantageous when either several animals train at the same time or when the race management is to receive the overview of all animals in the race in a race.

The corresponding biometric data can be displayed as either numbers or analog. In the case of the analog display, it is particularly preferred if the display devices also include displays for an ideal area and for impermissible areas.

In the following, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. It shows:

1 the entire system components of a device according to the invention for transmitting biometric data of a mount;

2 the detail of a corresponding advertisement; and

3 a particularly preferred system for data transmission.

As in 1 1, a device according to the invention for transmitting biometric data comprises a measuring device to be fastened to the mount 10 that with a radio transmitter 12 provided for the transmission of biometric data. The device further comprises a battery unit or an accumulator 14 as well as two or more connecting cables 16 that with electrode pads 18 are provided. The electrode pads 18 They are attached to the back of the horse, for example, under the saddlecloth and on the belly of the horse or on the sides of the horse under the girth. The measuring device 10 For example, it can be attached to the saddle or to the saddle girth. Alternatively or additionally, sensors for biometric data from the body of the mount can also be implanted under the skin, for example for body temperature or oxygen saturation of the blood. These sensors can work with a cable and power sourceless transmission technology, as used in the WO 97/45277 is described.

The device according to the invention further comprises spectacles 20 or a helmet with a visor 20 for the rider, with a suitable receiver 22 for the radio transmitter attached to the mount 12 transmitted biometric data and a display device 24 Giving the biometric data by mirroring an ad 26 in the glasses 20 or the visor 20 representing the helmet in real time. The recipient 22 and the display device 24 are either mounted in the upper rim of the helmet over the eyes or in the frame of the glasses. There is then also a suitable power source 28 for the supply of the receiver 22 and the display device 24 , At the power source 28 they can be batteries or accumulators. The ad 26 is explained in detail on the basis of 2 explained in more detail.

According to the invention, the radio signals from the transmitter 12 also with another one with a computer 32 connected receiver 30 be received, so that the biometric data on the computer 32 can be displayed, stored and evaluated. This computer 32 can be used for example by a trainer on the edge of a training track or by a race director. It is particularly preferred if the other recipient 30 is designed so that it contains the biometric data of several transmitters 12 can receive simultaneously and in real time. In 1 are the corresponding further signals 34 indicated.

The following is the display according to the invention 26 in terms of 2 explained in more detail. 2 represents the detail of the glasses 20 or the visor 20 magnified by the display is reflected. In the illustrated embodiment, the display includes 26 two numeric displays 36 and 38 and an analog display 40 ,

The digital displays 36 left above and 38 In the upper right corner, in the present case, the speed in km / h and, on the right, the distance traveled in meters, while the analogue display shows 40 The pulse or heart rate of the mount on a scale between 60 and 140 using an analog pointer 42 displays. The pointer 42 points to appropriate scale divisions 44 then still with value specifications 46 are provided for scaling. These run from 60 beats per minute to 140 beats per minute. The analog pointer 42 shows here in the present case on the scale value 100. In addition, here in the analog scale still areas for the ideal value 48 and for invalid values 50 be reflected. These are preferably colored in green and red. The data for speed and distance covered are supplied by a GPS receiver, which can also be integrated in the helmet or in the spectacle frame.

2 is of course only an exemplary representation, which values are displayed in which form, can be selected individually by the respective user and according to the respectively required information needs. For example, the speed can be displayed analog and the pulse rate digitally. Likewise, for example, the distance traveled can be displayed as a down or up-running bar.

3 shows a particularly preferred system for data transmission, which takes into account that the measuring device 10 on the horse can not be equipped with very strong transmitters. According to this particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the measuring device 10 only equipped with a transmitter of the radio standard "Bluetooth". Its range is enough to get the data for the glasses 20 or the rider's helmet. In this embodiment, the tab additionally performs a Bluetooth-enabled and for data transfer to the Internet in one of the usual standards (wireless, GPRS, 3G or other) mobile phone 60 With. This mobile 60 then provides the stronger wireless connection to the Internet, which can extend over several kilometers. The data is then transferred to the computer via the Internet 32 forwarded by the coach or the race director. The data can also be archived and made available via the Internet.

According to the invention, therefore, the possibility is created for the first time that a racing rider or jockey, just like a racing driver, always has in mind the most important parameters for his race.
