Device for signalling audible alarms and the like

Abstract

A device for signalling audible alarms, or other specific acoustic signals associated to a respective sound source to people having hearing problems, comprises: a plurality of receiving and transmitting elements, each one can be associated to a specific acoustic alarm, by means of an appropriate phase for recording and recognizing the sound and associating to an identifying code, near the emitting sound source thereof, the receiving and transmitting element comprising: a piezoelectric sensor for receiving the acoustic alarm; a microprocessor provided with at least a storage device, implementing the recognition of the acoustic alarm by means of FFT analysis; and means for the radiofrequency transmission of a signal thereto the code identifying the receiving and transmitting element is associated; a portable terminal, apt to receive and recognize the signals emitted by the receiving and transmitting elements, having: a radiofrequency antenna, a processor associated to a storage device including a library of codes identifying receiving and transmitting elements, means for the wireless connection to a portable processing device, such as a smartphone and the like, for programming said processor, and means for the visual and/or vibration signalling; a software, installed on a portable processing device like a smartphone and the like, capable of connecting to said means for the wireless connection and of providing an interface for programming said terminal, wherein each receiving and transmitting element is shaped like a plate acting as transducer for the mechanical vibration and it comprises means for fastening to a surface.
