Abstract

The present invention relates to a carbon monoxide alarm system for automatic reporting to the Fire Department, comprising: an alarm capable of detecting the concentration of carbon monoxide, outputting a warning sound, and being equipped with a communication unit for external communication; a user terminal capable of communicating with the alarm and monitoring the operating status of the alarm and controlling its operation through a dedicated app; and a control server connected to communicate with the alarm and the user terminal, receiving a carbon monoxide concentration value detected by the alarm, and transmitting a notification signal to the user terminal according to the received concentration value. The alarm is equipped with an automatic reporting activation button that is activated or deactivated by user operation, and an operation signal of the automatic reporting activation button is transmitted to the control server. When the carbon monoxide concentration value received from the alarm falls within a preset range, the control server automatically reports to the Fire Department or transmits a notification signal to the user terminal according to the operation status of the automatic reporting activation button.

Description

Fire Department Automatic Reporting Carbon Monoxide Alarm System The present invention relates to a carbon monoxide alarm system for automatic reporting to the Fire Department. More specifically, the invention relates to a carbon monoxide alarm system for automatic reporting to the Fire Department that, when the concentration of carbon monoxide is detected above a standard level through an alarm, transmits a notification signal to the user via a user terminal and enables automatic reporting to the Fire Department at the same time, thereby ensuring the user's safety from carbon monoxide poisoning, and prevents false reports caused by malfunctions of the alarm by making the user aware of the current condition before automatic reporting through a primary notification signal and inducing appropriate response measures. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, toxic gas primarily produced during incomplete combustion, posing a significant risk of leakage in homes and accommodations (e.g., pensions). In particular, carbon monoxide generated by heating appliances, gas stoves, and wood-burning boilers accumulates rapidly in poorly ventilated spaces, which can have serious effects on the human body. If the concentration of carbon monoxide exceeds a certain level in such environments, symptoms of poisoning begin to appear, and in severe cases, it can lead to death. Since carbon monoxide leaks often occur while users are asleep, the installation and use of alarms are essential. The general carbon monoxide alarms currently in widespread use are of a basic type designed to detect carbon monoxide concentration and sound an alarm if it exceeds a certain level. These standard carbon monoxide alarms frequently malfunction, failing to alert users to the danger of carbon monoxide leaks; consequently, users often remove the alarms altogether. To address these issues, carbon monoxide alarms are currently being developed that include a feature to automatically report to the Fire Department and other agencies via external communication when the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds a certain level. However, even in the case of alarms equipped with such automatic reporting functions, there is a problem of a very high frequency of false alarms. False alarms can occur due to insufficient adjustment of system sensitivity or temporary changes in the external environment, and such incorrect reports cause problems such as wasting the Fire Department's resources and delaying the response to actual emergencies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a carbon monoxide alarm system that can automatically report when the concentration of carbon monoxide exceeds a certain level by accurately reflecting the actual danger and minimizing false alarms.
