ALERTING SYSTEM FOR DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE AND APPLICATION SOFTWARE TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

An alerting system (10) for deaf or hard of hearing people comprises a wireless network (11) with one or more transmitters (12-17) adapted to detect events and, upon detecting an event, to transmit a wireless alerting signal to one or more receivers (20-23) adapted to alert a user. The wireless network (11) is adapted to send an alerting signal to an electronic device (18) in order to allow the electronic device (18) to function as a gateway between said wireless network (11) and a hearing aid device (19).
