  Hereinafter, an example of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a remote health management system 1. The remote health management system 1 is a system that manages the health of the managed person 100 from a remote location. An example of the managed person 100 is an elderly person living alone. As shown in FIG. 1, the remote health management system 1 includes a sensor device 2, a gateway device 3, a management device 4, and a terminal device 5.

  The sensor device 2 is installed in the living room 300 in the residence 200 of the managed person 100. Here, “living room” is meant to include not only living rooms and bedrooms, but also places where living activities are conducted such as entrances, kitchens, bathrooms, washrooms, and toilets.

  The sensor device 2 can include a plurality of types of sensors. The sensors include at least the activity detection sensor 21, and may include other sensors that detect the environmental state of the room, such as a temperature sensor 22, an illuminance sensor 23, and a humidity sensor 24. The activity detection sensor 21 is a sensor that detects the activity of the manager 100 in the living room 300. The temperature sensor 22 is a sensor that detects the temperature of the living room 300. The illuminance sensor 23 is a sensor that detects the illuminance of the living room 300. The humidity sensor 24 is a sensor that detects the humidity of the living room 300.

  For example, the activity detection sensor 21 has a predetermined detection range, and is configured to output an activity signal (activity data) when the managed person 100 exists in the detection range. Therefore, it is possible to grasp that the managed person 100 is active in the living room 300 with the output of the activity signal. Further, the activity amount (activity state) in the living room 300 of the managed person 100 can be grasped based on the output duration of the activity signal, the output / non-output switching frequency, and the like.

Environmental information such as heat index data calculated from 300 humidity data is included. That is, on the two-dimensional map, it is possible to display the temperature at which the managed person 100 was active in the room 300 at each date and time. In the two-dimensional map, it is possible to display the brightness of the living room 300 in the living room 300 at each date and time. In addition, the two-dimensional map may display what kind of heat index the manager 100 was active in the room 300 at each date and time.

  The management device 4 includes a map transmission unit 42. The map transmission unit 42 is configured to be able to transmit the two-dimensional map generated by the generation unit 41 to the terminal device 5.

  The terminal device 5 is configured to be able to receive the two-dimensional map transmitted from the management device 4. The terminal device 5 is a device that can present information to an observer 150 that is different from the managed person 100.

Examples of the terminal device 5 include a portable information terminal (smart phone, tablet computer, notebook computer, etc.), a stationary monitor device, and the like. The terminal device 5 includes, for example, a touch panel type liquid crystal screen. Examples of the observer 150 include related persons including the family of the managed person 100, medical workers including a family doctor of the managed person 100, care workers including a home helper who is in charge of the managed person 100, and managed objects. Security companies, local governments, health insurance companies, etc. with which the person 100 or related parties contracts.

  According to this configuration, a family or the like who is in a remote place confirms the two-dimensional map, and in addition to the amount of activity at each date and time of the managed person 100, the room 300 where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected. It is possible to know environmental information, and to easily grasp the health status of the managed person 100. Moreover, it becomes easy to visually grasp the change in the life rhythm of the managed person 100 by the two-dimensional map. Therefore, family members and the like can monitor the daily health status of the manager with peace of mind by checking the two-dimensional map.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the remote health management system 1 may be configured to include a plurality of sensor devices 2a to 2f. In this example, the residence 200 of the manager 100 includes a plurality of rooms such as an entrance 301, a kitchen 302, a bathroom 303, a living room 304, a toilet / toilet 305, and a bedroom 306. A sensor device 2 a is installed in the entrance 301, a sensor device 2 b is installed in the kitchen 302, and a sensor device 2 c is installed in the bathroom 303. The living room 304 is provided with a sensor device 2d, the washroom / toilet 305 is provided with a sensor device 2e, and the bedroom 306 is provided with a sensor device 2f. Since the functions and operations of the sensor devices 2a to 2f are the same as the functions and operations of the sensor device 2 described with reference to FIG. 1, repeated descriptions are omitted.

  When sensor devices are installed in a plurality of rooms, when any of the sensor devices 2a to 2f detects the activity of the managed person 100 at each date and time, the sensor data of the sensor device in the room where the activity is detected is the gateway device 3. Configured to be sent to. The sensor data is attached with an identification symbol for identifying each room where the sensor devices 2a to 2f are installed.

  The generation unit 41 of the management device 4 generates a two-dimensional map based on the sensor data output from the plurality of sensor devices 2a to 2f.

  In the two-dimensional map, for example, the amount of activity in each room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected at each date and time can be displayed. Also, the two-dimensional map displays the temperature data, illuminance data, heat index data, etc. of the room in which the activity is detected in correspondence with the presence or absence of the activity of the managed person 100 as described above, such as color and pattern Based on the effect, the level of the data can be displayed in an identifiable manner. Further, in the two-dimensional map, the location of the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected in correspondence with the presence or absence of the activity of the managed person 100, that is, where the managed room 100 is located at each date and time. It can be displayed in an identifiable manner based on display effects such as colors and patterns.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the two-dimensional maps 51 to 55 generated by the generation unit 41 are configured so that each piece of information associated with the activity of the managed person 100 displays a display effect (for example, Display in an identifiable state based on color, pattern, etc.

  In the two-dimensional map 51 shown in FIG. 3, the temperature data of the room in which the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed in a pattern so that the temperature of the room can be identified. In this example, the information detection period in the two-dimensional map 51 is set to one month. The horizontal axis of the two-dimensional map 51 indicates each day of the detection period of one month (in this example, from August 1 to August 31), and the vertical axis indicates the time of one day from 0:00. Up to 24:00 is shown every hour. FIG. 3 shows a state where the two-dimensional map 51 is displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the terminal device 5.

  The two-dimensional map 51 is composed of a plurality of grids 61 partitioned by each date and time of the detection period. The smallest grid 61 in this example is partitioned on the vertical axis for 30 minutes, for example. In each grid 61, the temperature of the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed based on a pattern 62 associated in advance. When the temperature of the room changes in the time zone indicated by the grid 61, for example, a pattern corresponding to the temperature measured for the longest period in the time zone may be displayed, and the average temperature in the time zone may be displayed. A corresponding pattern may be displayed. In the two-dimensional map 51, a time zone 63 without a pattern indicates a time zone during which sensor data was not transmitted to the generation unit 41, that is, a time zone during which the activity of the managed person 100 could not be confirmed. ing. As an example of this time zone, a time zone during which the managed person 100 was out can be estimated.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, for example, from August 5th to August 6th, the temperature after 22:00 on August 5 is higher than the normal night temperature. It has dropped to the usual temperature from around 3:00 on the 6th night. It can be presumed that the user went to sleep without an air conditioner and was sleepy at night and operated the air conditioner. Also, from August 16th to August 17th, from August 21st to August 22nd, from August 25th to August 26th, the room temperature Despite being higher than normal (28.0-30.5 ° C), it has not changed until morning. It can be inferred that he was asleep without an air conditioner despite the difficulty in sleeping. Also, if a pattern indicating that the temperature is 30.5 ° C or higher is displayed for a long time, it is considered that the managed person 100 was spending time (acting) without operating the air conditioner in the hot weather. It is done. From these facts, it can be inferred that there is a possibility that the managed person 100 is in a poor physical condition, and in some cases, it may be inferred as a sign of dementia. As described above, the family and the like can grasp the behavior pattern and life rhythm of the manager through the two-dimensional map 51, and can respond to the manager 100 by contacting him / her.

  In the two-dimensional map 52 shown in FIG. 4, the illuminance data of the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed in a pattern so that the illuminance level of the room (bright-dark) can be identified. 4-7, the axis display of the two-dimensional maps 52-55, the grid sections, the pattern display method, and the like are the same as in FIG. 4 to 7 can be displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the terminal device 5 in the same manner as the two-dimensional map 51 shown in FIG.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, for example, from the night of August 4 to the morning of August 5, the brightness of the room after 22:00 on August 4 is higher than the brightness of the room at normal night. It is bright and has returned to the usual brightness from around 2:00 on the night of August 5. It can be inferred that the user turned to sleep with the lights turned on and noticed when he got up in the toilet at night, and turned off the lights. In addition, from the night of August 12th to the morning of August 13th, it can be inferred that the lighting was kept on until the morning without being noticed. Further, in the two-dimensional map 52, if the bright day of the living room continues for a long time until late at night, it can be estimated that the life pattern of the managed person 100 may be reversed day and night. Also, if there are many times when the brightness changes on a short grid at night (for example, grid 61 at around 3:00 on August 1), the managed person 100 frequently wakes up in the toilet. The patient may be suspected of having poor physical condition with frequent urination. In this way, the family and the like can grasp the behavior pattern and life rhythm of the manager through the two-dimensional map 52, and can respond to the manager 100 by contacting him / her.

  In the two-dimensional map 53 shown in FIG. 5, the heat index data of the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed in a pattern so that the level of the heat index of the room (discomfort-comfort) can be identified. ing. In this example as well, it is possible for a family or the like to contact the managed person 100 and ask him / her about the situation.

  As described above, according to the configuration of the two-dimensional maps 51 to 53 shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, a family or the like who is in a remote place can use the two-dimensional maps 51 to 53 to change the behavior pattern and life rhythm of the managed person 100. Etc. can be grasped from the visually displayed information. Therefore, the family and the like can watch the daily health condition and behavior of the managed person 100 with peace of mind by looking at the two-dimensional maps 51 to 53.

  In addition, in the two-dimensional map 54 shown in FIG. 6, the location of the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed in a pattern so that the room where the managed person 100 is located can be identified. .

  According to this structure, the life rhythm which followed the movement of the management person 100 from the place (the living room, the washroom / toilet, the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom, the entrance, etc.) where the management person 100 was active every time zone is provided. It can be accurately grasped. For example, the bedtime and wake-up time of the managed person 100, the number of times that the user has woken up for the toilet in the middle of the night, the time zone and frequency of going out, the meal time zone, and the like can be grasped. Therefore, by checking the two-dimensional map 54, a family or the like who is in a remote place can grasp the change in the life rhythm of the managed person 100, and the daily health state and behavior of the managed person 100 with peace of mind. Can watch over.

  In the two-dimensional map 55 shown in FIG. 7, the activity amount of the managed person 100 in the room where the activity of the managed person 100 is detected is displayed in a pattern so that the magnitude of the activity amount can be identified. The amount of activity can be determined by, for example, accumulating the amount of activity of the managed person 100 detected in each room in each time zone indicated by a grid of 30 minutes. Further, for example, the activity amount may be the activity amount of the room where the managed person 100 has been active for the longest time in the time zone indicated by each grid. Or when activity is detected in a plurality of living rooms, the activity amount of the living room having the largest activity amount among them may be used.

  According to this configuration, by looking at the two-dimensional map 55, a change in the amount of activity following the movement of the managed person 100 in the residence 200 can be easily grasped visually. Therefore, the family etc. in a remote place can watch the daily health state of the managed person 100 in peace.

  The two-dimensional maps 51 to 55 can be selectively displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the terminal device 5. On the liquid crystal screen of the terminal device 5, a map switching button (an example of a selection unit) 71 for selecting a two-dimensional map to be displayed is provided (see FIG. 3). By selecting and touching any one of the “activity-temperature” button 71 a to the “activity amount” button 71 e, the two-dimensional maps 51 to 55 associated with the buttons are switched and displayed on the terminal device 5. Can do.

  According to this configuration, since the two-dimensional maps 51 to 55 to be observed can be selected as appropriate, the health state of the managed person 100 can be accurately grasped. For example, since the two-dimensional map 51 that displays the temperature of the living room and the two-dimensional map 54 that displays the location of the active room can be switched and displayed, by observing these two-dimensional maps in a comprehensive manner, It becomes easy to grasp the daily behavior of the person 100 (whether or not the air conditioner is used, the frequency, etc.) and changes in the life rhythm. Therefore, by looking at the two-dimensional map, family members in remote areas can easily detect the initial symptoms of dementia of the managed person 100, and watch the daily health condition and behavior of the managed person with peace of mind. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 8, two two-dimensional maps 56 and 57 can be displayed side by side in, for example, two upper and lower stages on the liquid crystal screen of the terminal device 5. The two-dimensional map is displayed side by side by touching the “data comparison” button 71 f in the map switching button 71. The two two-dimensional maps 56 and 57 to be displayed are configured so that they can be selected from the buttons 71a to 71e, respectively. In addition, the two-dimensional maps 56 and 57 that are selected and displayed are configured to be able to be switched to data of an arbitrary detection period and displayed by touching the slide buttons 72a to 72d.

  According to this configuration, the health status of the managed person 100 can be accurately grasped by comparing two-dimensional maps arranged side by side. For example, the current two-dimensional map presenting the same information and the past two-dimensional map can be displayed side by side, or the two-dimensional maps 51 to 53, 55 and the two-dimensional map 54 can be displayed side by side. . For this reason, the two-dimensional map arranged side by side can be comprehensively observed on one screen, and it becomes easy to grasp the daily behavior of the managed person 100 and the change of the life rhythm. Therefore, by looking at the two-dimensional map, family members in remote areas can easily detect the initial symptoms of dementia of the managed person 100, and watch the daily health condition and behavior of the managed person with peace of mind. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the remote health management system 1 can be configured to include an activity meter 25. The activity meter 25 is mounted on the sensor device 2 </ b> A possessed by the manager 100 at least when going out of the residence 200. The activity meter 25 is configured to generate activity amount data corresponding to the physical activity amount of the managed person 100. Examples of the amount of physical activity include the number of steps and medium intensity exercise. Therefore, examples of the activity amount data include data indicating the number of steps and the medium intensity exercise amount while the managed person 100 has the activity meter 25. The medium intensity exercise amount is, for example, performing physical activity / exercise with an intensity of 3 mets or more for 60 minutes per day, 23 exercises per week (mets × hour) or more. In addition, walking, jogging, tennis, swimming, etc. correspond to physical activities of 3 metts or more.

  In this case, the gateway device 3 can be configured to acquire sensor data including activity data from the sensor device 2A at a predetermined timing when the managed person 100 is at home. The gateway device 3 is configured to transmit the sensor data acquired from the sensor device 2 </ b> A to the management device 4. Based on the sensor data acquired from the sensor device A, the generation unit 41 of the management device 4 generates a pattern of the outing time zone (the time zone 63 where no pattern is attached) in each of the two-dimensional maps 51 to 55. Also good. The map transmission unit 42 of the management device 4 is configured to transmit the generated two-dimensional map to the terminal device 5.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to transmit a two-dimensional map including not only when the managed person 100 is at home but also when going out to the observer 150. Therefore, the observer 150 at a remote location can more accurately confirm the life rhythm, environmental conditions, etc. of the managed person 100 and can watch the daily health condition of the managed person 100 with peace of mind.

  The map transmission unit 42 of the management device 4 is configured to transmit an alarm signal and a two-dimensional map to the terminal device 5 when it is determined that the health status of the managed person 100 is not normal based on the output of the activity signal. Can be done. For example, when the total amount of activity in the residence 200 is reduced to some extent, it is estimated that the managed person 100 is out of physical condition. In addition, for example, when the output duration time of an activity signal from a sensor device installed in a specific living room such as a bathroom 303 or a toilet 305 is much longer than a normally assumed value (exceeds a predetermined threshold value), It is presumed that the person 100 cannot move because of falling or having a seizure in the bathroom 303 or the toilet 305. In such a case, the two-dimensional map attached to the alarm signal and transmitted to the terminal device 5 can accurately notify the observer 150 of the possibility that the managed person 100 is out of physical condition.

  According to this configuration, the observer 150 at a remote location can accurately grasp the change in the activity of the managed person 100 by looking at the attached two-dimensional map and prevent an emergency or illness from occurring. Can be taken.

  The above embodiment is for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and it is obvious that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.

  For example, the map may be a three-dimensional map in which each day of the period when sensor data is acquired is indicated on the first axis, the time of the day in the acquisition period is indicated on the second axis, and the amount of activity is indicated on the third axis. . For example, the detection period shown on the map is not limited to one month, and may be one week, two weeks, or the like.
