FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a situation detection process of the terminal device 10 included in the life monitoring system of the present invention. Under the control of the control means 11, the terminal device 10 detects the operation status inside the apparatus by the detection means 13 (S 101), and sends status information indicating the detected status from the communication means 14 via the connection device 30. It transmits to the central apparatus 30 (S102). The transmission of the detected situation is transmitted when it is detected that there is a change in the situation such as the start and stop of the operation. Further, when the terminal device 10 is a home appliance, the operation status of the device is detected. When the terminal device 10 is the operation device 20, the process of step S101 is performed in accordance with the status of the external environment and the monitored person. The presence / absence or behavior-related situation is detected by the detection means 24.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a monitoring process of the operation device 20 and the central device 40 included in the life monitoring system of the present invention. In the central device 40, the current time is detected by the clock circuit 45 under the control of the control means 41 (S201), the detected time, the presence / absence of reception of status information to be transmitted from the terminal device 10, and the received status information. By comparing the content with the reference pattern recorded in the reference database 42a, it is determined whether or not the situation is outside the standard (S202), and when the situation is outside the standard (S202: YES), The treatment content is extracted from the treatment database 42b using the record ID of the record indicating the reference in the reference database 42a as a search key (S203), and treatment information based on the extracted treatment content is transmitted from the communication means 44 to a predetermined device, for example, It transmits to the operating device 20 (S204). If it is determined in step S202 that the situation is within the standard (S202: NO), after waiting for a predetermined time, the process returns to step S201, and the subsequent processing is repeated. In addition, when the information regarding the time recorded in the reference database 42a is a time, before the time when the time is reached or a predetermined time before the time, the central device 40 requests the terminal device 10 to transmit the status information. Processing may be performed. Moreover, according to the treatment content currently recorded on the treatment database 42b, the form which transmits treatment information to the terminal devices 10, such as household appliances, may be sufficient.

  The operating device 20 receives the treatment information by the communication unit 27 under the control of the control unit 21 (S205), and performs the output by the output unit 25 and / or the operation by the operation unit 26 based on the received treatment information (S205). S206). The output by the output means 25 is, for example, audio output, image output, and light output. The operation is, for example, an operation for searching for a monitored person and an operation for approaching the monitored person.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing abnormality notification processing of the central device 40 and the receiving device 50 provided in the life monitoring system of the present invention. In the central device 40, under the control of the control means 41, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the transmission of the treatment information or after the same treatment information has been repeatedly transmitted a predetermined number of times, whether or not the situation information has been received from the terminal device 10 and the received situation information Based on the content, it is determined whether or not the situation has changed (S301). When it is determined that the situation has not been improved (S301: NO), the report destination information is extracted from the report destination database 42d (S302) and extracted. Abnormal information indicating abnormality is transmitted from the communication means 44 to the report destination indicated by the report destination information, here, the receiving device 50 in the form of e-mail or the like (S303). If it is determined in step S301 that the situation has been improved (S301: YES), the process ends. Whether or not the situation in step S301 has been improved is determined by determining whether or not there has been a change from the previous situation by newly receiving the situation information after transmitting the treatment information. This is done by determining whether the change further deviates from the reference pattern. Specifically, when the situation information is not newly received, or when the situation information is newly received but further deviates from the reference pattern, it is determined that the situation is not improved.

  The receiving device 50 receives the abnormality information from the communication unit 56 under the control of the control unit 51 (S304), and outputs the received abnormality information from the output unit 55 (S305). As a result, the caregiver can recognize that the monitored person is performing an action that deviates from the daily basic pattern, and the caregiver can take actions such as care of the monitored person as necessary. Become.
