Abstract:

A water sensor comprises a housing including a top portion and a bottom portion; a controller positioned within the housing; a power source electrically coupled to the controller to energize the controller; and a continuity sensor electrically coupled to the controller and including an inner arcuate portion and an outer arcuate portion, the inner arcuate portion having an electrically conductive surface spanning at least 300 degrees, the outer arcuate portion having an electrically conductive surface spanning at least 300 degrees and substantially surrounding the inner arcuate portion to define an gap therebetween, wherein the water sensor is structured to transition from a first logical state to a second logical state responsive to water bridging the gap, and wherein the controller is structured to transmit a wireless water detection signal responsive to the water sensor transitioning to the second logical state.

Abstract:

A digital swimmer safety system has a programmable radio communications device, such as a smart phone, in communication with a personal radio transmitter on a swimmer. The communications device established a digital connection with the radio transmitter and starts a timer if the signal is lost. The signal may be lost due to submergence of the transmitter in water. If the timer exceeds a threshold, then an alert is displayed. The communications device is configured to continue monitoring the swimmer in background mode so that the user of the device can run another app. The system can be configured so that multiple swimmers can be monitored by the same communications device and different threshold times can be set for each swimmer depending upon their swimming ability.
