Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to clarify the implications of development of smart personal protective equipment which can enhance occupational safety for farmers through development trend and development case analysis of smart personal protective equipment (SPPE) applicable to agriculture sector. Background: Most of the farmers work alone in the open far away from home, so their geographical accessibility is low, which may lead to serious disasters due to delayed response in case of an accident. Therefore, it is expected that the life - friendly service that can cope with accidents in rural areas and the spread of work safety equipment using ICT and IOT will improve the welfare of farmers scientifically and efficiently. Method: Patents were searched by year of application from 1990 to 2016 using the New WIPS ON patent information database. Among collected 268 data, 150 valid patents for quantitative trend analysis. Using Google, the prototypes or commercialized products for smart personal protection devices were searched. And a selection of 16 cases of products applicable to the agricultural safety sector was chosen and discussed. Results: The patent applications of smart personal protection equipment, which combines ICT and IoT technologies, have progressed most recently and have been declining since 2012. Only about 31% of the 150 selected valid patents tended to match the body's wear and protection areas. The smart personal protection equipment uses various biometric information from the combination of devices to allow the wearer to voluntarily recognize danger or escape from danger. Conclusion: The research and development of the Rural Smart Personalization Equipment for Preventing Farming and Disaster Prevention should be established in the Rural Community and the cooperative management system for the safety inspection and crisis responses in the rural communities. Application: The commercialization of smart personal protective equipment and the application of agriculture sector are difficult to solve, but it is expected that it will be a breakthrough in raising industrial disaster response ability in agriculture in the blind spot.
