Gyeonggi-do Registers Patent for 'Hands-Free Wireless Transceiver Attached to Firefighter Helmet'

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province has finally obtained a patent for the 'Hands-Free Wireless Transceiver Attached to Firefighter Helmets,' the first of its kind developed nationwide.

The hands-free wireless transceiver attached to firefighter helmets is equipment that allows firefighters to freely use both hands without the hassle of operating a radio during urgent incidents such as fires or rescues.

It enables wireless communication solely through voice recognition by linking with the communication device attached to the helmet.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 19th that the patent for the 'Communication Device for Firefighter Helmets and Its Voice Signal Transmission Method,' filed in May last year, was recently registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

The province expects that this patent registration will enable remarkable advancements and widespread adoption in fields such as wireless communication equipment utilizing the related technology.

After producing a second prototype and conducting field trials with on-site personnel, the province plans to improve the functions and release a high-performance finished product by June next year.

Cho Chang-rae, Director of the Disaster Comprehensive Command Center at the Gyeonggi Fire Headquarters, stated, "With the patent registration of the equipment and voice recognition technology jointly developed by Gyeonggi Province and the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute, the government has recognized Gyeonggi's leading technological development. We will strive further to develop commercializable products to improve firefighters' working conditions, enhance on-site response capabilities, and strengthen safety management for residents."
