  Hereinafter, an action monitoring system according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the behavior monitoring system of the embodiment, in which 11 is a behavior monitoring server, 12 is a protected terminal owned by a protected person, and 13A and 13B are installed at the entrance of a school or a cram school An IC card reader, 14 is a position information conversion server, and 15 is a guardian terminal owned by a guardian, all of which are connected via a network such as the Internet.

The behavior monitoring server 11 receives latitude / longitude information receiving means 111 for receiving latitude / longitude information transmitted from the guardian's terminal 12 via the network, and collates the latitude / longitude information with the address information by the position information conversion server 14. Based on the position information determination means 112 stored in the tracking log DB 116, the information of the protected person master 114, the tracking log DB 116, and the schedule 115, the information addressed to the guardian is created. It is comprised by the guardian's information creation notification means 113 for notification.

The guardian's terminal 12 is a GPS mobile phone terminal incorporating a generally used non-contact type IC chip, and each non-contact type IC chip stores a unique code in the manufacturing process. The protected person terminal 12 stores an application program for use in the behavior monitoring system of the embodiment, a monitoring activation condition for activating / terminating this application program, a monitoring termination condition, and positioning interval information. In the guardian's terminal 12, the application program is automatically activated by scanning the non-contact type IC chip by the IC card readers 13A and 13B.

The position information conversion server 14 has a function of converting the latitude / longitude information into address information of text data, and may use an existing service. It may have a function. In addition, in this embodiment, although demonstrated as the behavior monitoring server 11, you may comprise with a web server, a mail server, and a database server.

  FIG. 2 is a data configuration example of the guardian master 114 according to the embodiment. Non-contact IC chip unique code, guardian code to identify the guardian, guardian name, email address to notify the guardian, contact information of guardian, application monitoring start of guardian terminal The condition, the monitoring end condition, the positioning interval information, the notification interval information, and the protected person's action schedule range information are stored. Here, the application monitoring activation condition refers to a condition for activating an application of the terminal to be protected. In addition to the reader scan, a latitude / longitude, an address, a time, and the like may be set, and a plurality of conditions can be set. The monitoring end condition is a condition for ending the application of the terminal of the person to be protected. Like the start condition, the monitoring end condition may be a latitude / longitude, an address, a time, or the like in addition to the reader scan. The positioning interval information is a GPS positioning interval and can be set in units of hours and minutes. Notification interval information refers to a notification interval for a guardian, and can be set in units of hours and minutes. The scheduled action range information is set with a reference point and a planned range (distance). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a reference point 81 for attending school or school is provided, and the latitude and longitude of the guardian's terminal is This is information for determining that it is within the scheduled range (distance) from the reference point, and that it is outside the planned schedule range if it is within the scheduled range and beyond the planned range (distance). If it is determined that it is out of the scheduled action range, an emergency notification is sent to the guardian regardless of the setting of the guardian notification interval. A plurality of reference points can be provided on the school road and school road, and the guardian can freely set the planned range (distance) from the reference point. These pieces of information are information registered in advance for each person to be protected.

  FIG. 10 is an example of behavior monitoring basic data in the guardian's terminal 12 according to the embodiment. As described above, the unique code is an identification code stored in the manufacturing process. The application monitoring start condition, the monitoring end condition, and the positioning interval are the same as the information in the guardian master 114. These are set by fetching from the guardian master 114 of the behavior monitoring server 11 when installing the behavior monitoring application on the guardian terminal 12. The behavior monitoring application of the embodiment waits as a resident standby application. In addition, when transmitting information from the protected terminal 12 to the behavior monitoring server 11, the behavior monitoring basic data is transmitted, or the behavior monitoring basic data is periodically transmitted, or from the behavior monitoring server. By transmitting the behavior monitoring basic data based on the request, the consistency with the information of the guardian master 114 of the behavior monitoring server is confirmed. If there is a difference, the information of the guardian master 114 of the behavior monitoring server 11 is confirmed. And update basic behavior monitoring data. In this way, if various conditions of the guardian master 114 of the behavior monitoring server 11 are changed from the guardian terminal as necessary, the information can be set in the guardian terminal 12.

  Next, a processing flow of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4, 5, and 6. When the protected person (△△△△) holds the protected person terminal 12 over the IC card reader 13A installed at the doorway when leaving the school, the IC card reader 13A Scans the non-contact type IC chip in the guardian's terminal 12. In addition, when it is installed in a gate type like the IC card reader 13B, the person to be protected (△△ △△) automatically passes through the gate without holding the terminal 12 of the person to be protected. The non-contact type IC chip is scanned.

Since the scan of the non-contact type IC chip is one of the monitoring start conditions of the protected person (ΔΔ ΔΔ) (STEP 41), the application of the protected terminal 12 owned by the protected person by this reader scan Is started, the positioning timer is cleared to 0, and the timer count is started (STEP 42). Further, the time when the application is activated in association with the unique code and the fact that the application has been activated are transmitted to the behavior monitoring server 11 (STEP 43). According to the information of the guardian master 114, the positioning interval of the guardian (△△△△) is “30 minutes”. Therefore, when the positioning time elapses (STEP 44), GPS positioning is performed (STEP 45). Information is transmitted to the behavior monitoring server 11 (STEP 46). After transmitting the latitude / longitude information to the behavior monitoring server 11, the positioning timer is cleared to 0 and the timer count is started. Thereafter, until the monitoring end condition is satisfied, the GPS longitude and latitude / longitude to the behavior monitoring server 11 are determined at every positioning interval. Continue the information transmission process.

When the behavior monitoring server 11 receives the time when the application is activated and the information indicating that the application is activated in association with the unique code from the protected terminal 12 (STEP 51), the behavior monitoring server 11 writes the information in the tracking log DB 116 (STEP 52). Next, when latitude / longitude information is received from the guardian's terminal 12 (STEP 53), the latitude / longitude information is transmitted to the position information conversion server 14, and the position information conversion server 14 compares the latitude / longitude information with the address information. The position information is returned as text data (STEP 54).

The received position information is written in the tracking log DB 116 together with the positioning time as the position information of the guardian's terminal 12 (STEP 55).

Based on the information of the guardian master 114 and the information of the tracking log DB 116, information for the guardian is created (STEP 56). At this time, it is determined whether or not it is within the scheduled action range (STEP 57). If it is within the scheduled action range, the elapsed time from the previous notification is compared with the notification interval (STEP 58). Return to STEP53. In this case, since the notification interval is set to 30 minutes, information is surely notified to the guardian terminal 15 after positioning as shown in FIG. 3A (STEP 59).

Whether it is within the scheduled action range will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. A reference point (coordinate A) of the planned action range corresponding to the unique code and a planned range (distance) from the reference point are read from the guardian master (STEP 91). In the case of a guardian (ΔΔ ΔΔ), according to the guardian master 114, the reference point of the scheduled action range reads 33.5 degrees latitude, 130.4 degrees longitude, and 1000 m scheduled range (distance). Next, the GPS positioning latitude / longitude (coordinate B) is converted into relative coordinates starting from the reference point (STEP 92). Since the latitude / longitude information of the guardian's terminal 12 owned by the guardian (△△△△) is latitude 33.501 degrees and longitude 131.401 degrees, this is converted into relative coordinates and latitude 0.001; Get longitude 0.001. From this relative coordinate, a line segment AB is obtained using the three-square theorem (STEP 93). In this case, the line segment AB is 152.7 m. Next, it is confirmed whether or not the line segment AB is within the planned range (distance) from the reference point set in the guardian master 114 (STEP 94). If it is within the range, it is determined that it is within the planned range (STEP 95). If there is the next reference point, it is confirmed whether it is within the planned range (distance) from the next reference point (STEP 97). In this case, since the line segment AB is within the planned range (distance) 1000 m, it is determined to be within the planned range.

  Next, the case where a to-be-protected person is outside an action schedule range is demonstrated. When the protected person (XXXXX) holds the protected terminal 12 over the IC card reader 13A installed at the doorway when leaving the school, the IC card reader 13A scans the non-contact type IC chip in the guardian's terminal 12. Since the scan of the non-contact type IC chip is one of the monitoring activation conditions of the protected person (XXXXX) (STEP 41), the application of the protected terminal 12 owned by the protected person is activated by this scanning. Then, the immediate timer is cleared to 0 and the timer count is started (STEP 42). Further, the time when the application is activated in association with the unique code and the fact that the application has been activated are transmitted to the behavior monitoring server 11 (STEP 43).

Since the positioning interval of the protected person (XXXXX) is 15 minutes, when the positioning time elapses (STEP 44), GPS positioning is performed (STEP 45), and latitude / longitude information is transmitted to the behavior monitoring server 11 (STEP 46). . After transmitting the latitude / longitude information to the behavior monitoring server 11, the positioning timer is cleared to 0 and the timer count is started. Thereafter, until the monitoring end condition is satisfied, the GPS longitude and latitude / longitude to the behavior monitoring server 11 are determined at every positioning interval. Continue the information transmission process.

When the behavior monitoring server 11 receives from the protected terminal 12 the time when the application is activated in association with the unique code and information indicating that the application has been activated, the behavior monitoring server 11 writes the information in the tracking log DB 116. Next, when latitude / longitude information is received from the guardian's terminal 12 (STEP 53), the latitude / longitude information is transmitted to the position information conversion server 14, and the position information conversion server 14 compares the latitude / longitude information with the address information. The position information is returned (STEP 54). The received position information is written in the tracking log DB 114 together with the positioning time as the position information of the guardian terminal 12 (STEP 55).

Based on the information in the guardian master 114 and the information in the tracking log DB, information for the guardian is created (STEP 56).

At this time, it is determined whether or not it is within the scheduled action range (STEP 57). If it is outside the scheduled action range, not only the notification interval setting but also the guard terminal 15 is always addressed after positioning as shown in FIG. An emergency notification is sent (STEP 5A).

Whether it is within the action schedule range will be described with reference to FIG. A reference point (coordinate A) of the planned action range corresponding to the unique code and a planned range (distance) from the reference point are read from the guardian master (STEP 91). In the case of a protected person (XXXXX), according to the protected person master 114, the reference point of the scheduled action range is 33.5 degrees latitude, 130.4 degrees longitude, and the scheduled range (distance) is 1000 m. Next, the GPS positioning latitude / longitude (coordinate B) is converted into relative coordinates starting from the reference point (STEP 92). Since the latitude / longitude information of the guardian's terminal 12 owned by the guardian (XXXXX) is latitude 33.506916 degrees and longitude 130.406222 degrees, this is converted into relative coordinates and latitude 0.006916, Get longitude 0.00622. From this relative coordinate, a line segment AB is obtained using the three-square theorem (STEP 93). In this case, the line segment AB is 1004.7 m. Next, it is confirmed whether or not the line segment AB is within the planned range (distance) from the reference point set in the guardian master 114 (STEP 94). If there is a reference point, check whether it is within the planned range (distance) from the next reference point. In this case, since the line segment AB is outside the planned range (distance) 1000 m, it is determined that it is outside the planned range (STEP 96). If another reference point is set, check whether it is within the planned range from the other reference point. If it is determined that the other reference point is out of the planned range, it is out of the planned action range. (STEP 97).

In addition, when it is determined that it is out of the scheduled action range, not only the positioning interval setting / notification interval setting, for example, GPS positioning is performed at 1 minute intervals, and the process of transmitting the latitude / longitude information to the behavior monitoring server 11 is continued, As shown in FIG. 3B, the emergency continuous notification may be always sent to the guardian terminal 15 after positioning.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the flow of processing when the guardian wants to confirm the movement status of a protected person on a specific day will be described. The guardian logs in to the behavior monitoring server 11 from the guardian terminal 15 with a unique code, and selects a desired day (○ year ○ month ○ day). When the behavior monitoring server 11 confirms the movement information notification request for a specific day from the guardian (STEP 61), based on the logged-in unique code, the target guardian's unique code and the desired date (○ The movement information of year, month, and day is extracted, information for the guardian is created (STEP 62), and notified (STEP 63). In this case, notification by e-mail or display on a Web browser may be used.

According to the behavior monitoring system of the embodiment described above, the guardian who possesses the mobile phone terminal starts the behavior monitoring by the guardian without being conscious, and the position of the guardian at the positioning interval desired by the guardian. Since the information is notified to the guardian, it is possible to eliminate the inability to monitor due to forgetting to switch on the mobile phone terminal possessed by the guardian.

In addition, guardians do not need to use map information or traces to map information on their guardian terminals, and consciously acquire position information and movement status of guardians from guardian terminals. It is possible to monitor the behavior of moving situations such as attending school and attending school without real time or operation. Further, the guardian's terminal is notified in a timely manner that the guardian has moved out of the scheduled action range, and the guardian can grasp the position information of the guardian.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described, this embodiment is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The novel embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. This embodiment and its modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
