An elderly person who may be wandering carries a small transmitter with a built-in GPS receiver, and the receiver on the searcher side receives position information from the small transmitter, information on health conditions and emergency situations, Display the information on a monitor. If the investigator confirms the location of the old man wandering on the monitor, the investigator will go to rescue to the wandering site, or the explorer will contact a rescue organization such as a police station, fire department or security company and rescue Have the elderly go to the rescue organization or register the elderly in advance, and when the elderly go out, have the receiver of the rescue organization etc. always detect the active position and wandering position, and depending on the detection position In such cases, contact the home or rescue organizations will be dispatched to rescue.

[0004]

The conventional search and rescue system has the following problems. If the wandering site of the old man is far from home, it takes time for the investigator to arrive at the site, during which time the wandering position of the old man changes, making rescue difficult.

[0005] The location of the old man wandering is checked, and the police station, fire department,
Even when contacting a rescue organization, the position of the old man wandering before the police station, fire department, rescue organization, etc. arrives at the site changes, making rescue difficult.

When an elderly person is registered in advance in a rescue organization or the like and the rescue organization or the like carries out the search and rescue of the elderly person, it is considered that the rescue itself does not have the above difficulties. There is a point. If you are an investigator (family, etc.), you do not want to be known to the outside (the public, etc.) as much as possible if there is an elderly person who may wander in your own home. There are privacy concerns, etc., and there is a desire to process as much as possible at home. However, the conventional search and rescue system has a problem that privacy-related contents must be opened.

[0007]

Means for Solving the Problems To solve the above problems, the position detecting system according to the present invention employs the following means.

[0008] A plurality of receiving units for receiving the position information and computers for input processing of the position information received by the receiving unit are provided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the portable terminal. The portable terminal 4 includes a GPS receiver 1, a communication unit 2, and a destination selection unit 3. The GPS receiving device 1
It is formed to include a GPS antenna that receives a GPS signal transmitted from a PS communication satellite, a CPU that detects position information such as the current latitude and longitude based on the received GPS signal, and the like. . It is preferable that the communication means 2 use a mobile phone, a PHS, or the like. The destination selection means 3 is a RAM capable of storing a destination.
And a CPU for comparing the destination with the current position and selecting the nearest destination.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a position detecting system according to the present invention. When the elderly person 5 goes out, the portable terminal 4 is carried. The portable terminal 4 has a GPS satellite 30
Elderly 5 obtained by detecting radio waves from ~ 32
Is transmitted to the first position display device 7 of the first searcher 6 side. The position display device 7 includes at least a communication unit 8 having a telephone function and a computer 10.
Etc., and is shown in FIG.

In the present invention, a plurality of position display devices are installed at different locations. Here, 3 shown by 7, 12, 27
Each of the two position display devices is in the home of the first searcher 6,
It is installed in a rescue organization facility 16 and a mobile search vehicle 26.

As shown in FIG. 3, a predetermined map 9 and the position of the elderly person are displayed by a mark 13 on a computer 10 constituting the first position display device 7 on the first searcher 6 (family etc.) side. Mark 9 is map 9 according to the wandering of the old man
Move up. A predetermined area can be set in advance on the map 9 by the computer 10 and input. For example, the living area of the old man (for example, an area with a radius of about 100 m from the home within a range where the family can easily search) is input by numerical values or graphics, and is displayed as a dotted line 14 on a map. The display of the area is not limited to the dotted line 14, but may be any display form as long as it can be identified by a solid line with color, hatching, or the like. Reference numeral 15 denotes a home.

When the mark 13 comes out of the area indicated by the dotted line 14 on the map due to the movement of the old man 5, the computer 10 judges that fact and sends it to the portable terminal 4 carried by the old man 5. . At this time, when the old man 5 goes out of the area, a warning sound such as a buzzer is emitted to notify the first searcher 6 (family, etc.), so that the usability is enhanced. Thereby, the portable terminal 4 re-selects the transmission destination such as the position information by the transmission destination selection means 3 and transmits the position of the old man 5 to the second position display device 17 on the second searcher 16 side. . Here, the second searcher 16 is a rescue organization such as a security company, for example, and searches for the elderly 5 in accordance with information obtained from the second position display device 17. At the time of the search, it is also possible to select a movable third position display device 27 mounted on a mobile search vehicle 26 or the like by operating a computer constituting the second position display 17.

As described above, according to the present invention, regarding the wandering of the old man 5 in the living area indicated by the dotted line 14, the first searcher 6 (family, etc.) can use the first position display device 7 installed in the home. This is a position detection system in which the elderly 5 can be searched and positional information is transmitted to a rescue organization only when the elderly 5 deviate from the living area (often with danger). Here, the second searcher 26 described is not limited to the rescue organization, but may be a police station, a fire department, a public system of a city hall, a private rescue system operating company, or the like.

[0019]

According to the position detection system of the present invention, even if the place to wander is distant and the search by the first searcher is difficult, the search can be smoothly switched to the second searcher. And the elderly can be rescued smoothly.

Further, if the wandering of the elderly is within the living area, the family can easily search only by the first position display device installed in the home, and when the elderly depart from the living area (in many cases). Since it is a system that uses only an external second explorer (which is considered to be dangerous), there is an effect that the privacy of the elderly, family, etc. is extremely protected.
