The present invention relates to an emergency communication device capable of transmitting emergency information based on biological information, and an emergency communication system using the device.

Recent social problems include the aging of the population and the progress of nuclear families. The problem is that elderly people, who are at increased risk of illness and need more care, live alone or as a couple and become isolated. For example, if an elderly person living alone falls or loses consciousness in a situation where no one is around, it may take time for the surrounding people to notice it, which may be dangerous.

Therefore, in the past, a technique of attaching a biometric information measuring device for measuring biometric information to a subject and monitoring the health condition and behavior pattern of the subject based on the biometric information acquired from the biometric information measuring device. Have been proposed.

A warning is notified when it is determined by the notification determination unit that determines the possibility of an abnormality occurring in the user based on the value and the possibility that the abnormality will occur by the notification determination unit. It is configured to include a notification unit.

Further, Patent Document 2 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-285642) proposes a technique for solving the problem of false alarm in a human body condition detection device that confirms the safety by detecting the body movement of the human body. That is, the biometric information detection unit detects biometric information indicating that the monitored person is alive, and the activity information detecting unit detects activity information indicating that the monitored person is active in the monitored area. Then, in the transmission / reception unit, the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit and the activity information detected by the activity information detection unit are transmitted to the monitoring center, and in the monitoring center, the transmission / reception unit transmits from the monitored person information detection device. The received biometric information and activity information are received, and the abnormality determination unit determines the abnormality of the monitored person based on the biometric information and activity information received by the transmission / reception unit, and the abnormality determination unit determines that the abnormality is abnormal. When this is done, a monitored person information detection device configured to transmit alarm information indicating that an abnormality has occurred to the monitored person has been proposed.

Further, Patent Document 3 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-159454) proposes a biometric information collection system in which biometric information can be easily stored in a personal database on the Internet and viewed as needed. In this biometric information collection system, a communication means is provided in a mobile browser terminal and a biosensor, data acquired by the biosensor is once transmitted to the mobile browser terminal, and the data is stored in a personal database by the mobile browser terminal.

As described above, even in the past, some techniques themselves have been proposed in which the biometric information of the monitored person (measured person) is acquired by the biometric information measuring device and the monitoring is performed in order to detect the abnormality. However, in the conventionally proposed biometric information measuring device, when an abnormality is detected based on biometric information, a warning is issued to the user or a pre-registered observer or the like is notified as the operation. I was just doing it. For this reason, even if an alarm is issued to the user, there is no way if the user loses consciousness in the first place, and even if a pre-registered observer is notified, the observer is in a remote location. If it exists in, there was the inconvenience of not being able to respond promptly.

Therefore, the present invention provides an emergency contact device for selecting an optimal notification destination and notifying an emergency state when an abnormality is detected from the acquired biometric information, and an emergency contact system using the same. This is the first issue.

The second task is to provide an emergency contact device and an emergency contact system using the above-mentioned emergency contact device.

Further, as shown in Patent Document 2, even before, when detecting an abnormality from biological information, the alarm transmitting means has a multi-step alarm information according to the urgency of the abnormality determined by the abnormality determining means. It has been proposed to change the number of destinations and destinations according to the technology for transmitting the alarm and the urgency of the alarm. However, it is the contacts registered in advance that send the alarm information, and it was not possible to find out the unregistered contacts and send the alarm information.

Therefore, in the present invention, depending on the degree of danger determined from the biological information, emergency information or the like may be notified to pre-registered contacts, or an emergency response contact may be searched for and notified of emergency information or the like. The third task is to provide an emergency contact device that can be used and an emergency contact system using the same.

Then, when searching for a contact that can be dealt with urgently and notifying the emergency information or the like, the contact may not necessarily be a person in the area. In such a case, even if the existence of the subject whose biological information is abnormal is known, it may be difficult to go there because he / she does not have a sense of land.

The emergency communication system 1 according to this embodiment includes an emergency communication device 10 configured by using a computer, a transmission device 20 used by the subject, and a reception device 30 used by the receiver. , These are connected by an information communication network such as the Internet. The hardware configurations of the transmitting device 20, the emergency contact device 10, and the receiving device 30 constituting the emergency contact system 1 are shown in FIG.

≪Transmitting device 20≫
The transmission device 20 acquires the biometric information of the person to be measured and transmits it to the emergency communication device 10 via an information communication network such as the Internet. The transmission device 20 measures biological information such as pulse (heartbeat), body temperature, blood pressure, and activity of the person to be measured, and can connect to an information communication network such as the Internet in order to transmit the biological information. In addition to using a biometric information measuring device (20a) that has a function, a mobile information terminal 20b that has a communication function that can be connected to an information communication network such as the Internet, and wireless such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) for the mobile information. It can be configured by a biometric information measuring device (20a) that passes biometric information measured by a short-range communication means such as communication or wired communication such as USB. Further, when the wearable terminal 20a has a function of the mobile information terminal 20b, such as being able to connect to an information communication network such as the Internet, it can be configured by the wearable terminal 20a. In the emergency communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, as the biometric information measuring device (20a), a wearable terminal 20a that is attached to the body of the person to be measured in contact and measures biometric information is used, and the wearable terminal 20a is used. The biometric information measured by the terminal 20a is configured to be passed to a mobile information terminal 20b such as a smartphone by short-range wireless communication. Then, the mobile information terminal 20b transmits the acquired biometric information to the emergency communication device 10 via an information communication network such as the Internet.

Data communication of biometric information between the wearable terminal 20a and the mobile information terminal 20b is configured to be periodically transmitted from the wearable terminal 20a to the mobile information terminal 20b, and an application executed on the mobile information terminal 20b. This can be configured to periodically read out the biometric information stored in the wearable terminal 20a. If data communication between the two is not performed regularly, it is desirable to issue a warning or alarm indicating that a communication failure has occurred in the wearable terminal 20a and / or the mobile information terminal 20b.

The wearable terminal 20a can be used regardless of the type as long as it is attached to the body of the person to be measured in contact with the wearable terminal 20a and can measure the person's biological information. Therefore, it is possible to use various wearable terminals 20a such as a wearable terminal 20a worn on the wrist like a wristwatch, a wearable terminal 20a worn on the ear like glasses, or a wearable terminal 20a worn on the neck like a necklace. can. In addition, the biological information acquired by these wearable terminals 20a includes various biological information such as the pulse (heart rate), body temperature, and blood pressure of the person to be measured, and also the amount of activity such as the movement speed and inclination of the wearable terminal 20a. included. In addition, the wearable terminal 20a can predict and calculate the sleeping time and the like from the values of the pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, and time of the person to be measured actually measured, and the predicted calculated value.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the transmission device 20 is configured by linking the wearable terminal 20a and the mobile information terminal 20b. Such a wearable terminal 20a requires a battery for measuring biometric information and transmitting the measured biometric information, and the battery naturally runs out when the usage time is long. Therefore, in order to reduce such a problem of running out of battery, it is desirable that the mobile information terminal 20b monitors the battery state of the wearable terminal 20a. Specifically, when the battery level of the wearable terminal 20a is low, a display or a sound that calls attention to the user can be emitted. Further, in order to reduce the problem of running out of the battery, it is also desirable to mount a plurality of the wearable terminals 20a. At that time, when the wearable terminal 20a and the mobile information terminal 20b are connected by Bluetooth (registered trademark), it is necessary that all the wearable terminals 20a and the mobile information terminal 20b are paired. When the connection between any wearable terminal 20a and the mobile information terminal 20b is disconnected, it is desirable to configure the other wearable terminal 20a to connect to the mobile information terminal 20b immediately. When using a plurality of wearable terminals 20a, in addition to using various wearable terminals 20a having different wearing methods in combination, a plurality of wearable terminals 20a having different types of biometric information to be measured may be used regardless of the wearing method. It is also conceivable to combine or install multiple wearable terminals 20a in anticipation of running out of battery.

It can be sent to the emergency contact device 10. Further, in many cases, the GPS function of the transmitting device 20 can use the GPS function of the mobile information terminal 20b such as a smartphone, but when the wearable terminal 20a has the GPS function, the wearable terminal 20a measures. It is also possible to use the location information provided.

When the transmission device 20 transmits the biometric information and the location information to the emergency communication device 10, it is desirable that the transmission device 20 attaches a unique code for identifying itself. Although such a unique code can be set individually, it is desirable to use an identification symbol (unique ID) assigned to the data communication terminal in advance. For example, in the case of the mobile information terminal 20b, the device ID assigned to each mobile information terminal 20b can be used. If the transmitting device 20 has a telephone function, the telephone number can be used as a unique code. The unique code transmitted from each transmission device can be used as it is as a user ID in the emergency contact device 10 described later.

As such a unique code, a device ID or the like assigned to the mobile information terminal 20b in the transmission device 20 can be used. This unique code is used as a user ID in the emergency contact device 10 and is used to identify the acquired biometric information and location information. In particular, the information acquisition unit 10a in the present embodiment is configured to acquire the position information acquired by the GPS 28b on the mobile information terminal 20b, and is used for communication of the transmission device 20 (particularly the mobile information terminal 20b). It is also possible to acquire the position information of the communication base station and use it as the position information of the person to be measured.

Further, the information acquisition unit 10a can be configured to acquire not only the position information of the transmitting device but also the position information of the receiving device 30 described later. The position information of the receiving device 30 may be configured to request the transmission of the position information at regular intervals, or the receiving device 30 may transmit the position information to the emergency communication device 10 at regular intervals. .. Since the position information of the receiving device 30 is used to identify the receiving device 30 existing in the selected area, if the receiving device 30 can be specified by another method, the receiving device 30 is specified. It can be configured so that it does not require 30 location information. For example, the emergency communication device 10 designates a specific communication base station, identifies a receiving device 30 receiving radio waves from the communication base station, and simultaneously applies biometric information and / or to the receiving device 30. Or it is configured to send emergency information. In this case, the emergency communication device 10 can transmit biometric information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 in a specific area without recognizing the position information of each receiving device 30. ..

The threshold storage unit 10b can define a value or range that can be determined to be normal or a value or range that can be determined to be urgent in the biometric information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a as a determination reference value or reference range. That is, the judgment standard value or standard range is defined as a permissible value or permissible range that can be judged as a normal state by the person to be measured, and if it deviates from this range, it is judged as an emergency state, and the judgment standard value or standard is used. The range can be defined as a dangerous value or a dangerous range that can be judged as an urgent state by the person to be measured, and the case where the acquired biometric information is included in this range can be configured to be judged as an urgent state.

The determination reference value or reference range can be defined for each of the biometric information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. Therefore, when the wearable terminal 20a measures the pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, time, sleep time, etc. of the subject, a judgment reference value or a reference range is set for each of these. Can be done. Further, as the judgment reference value or the reference range, an average value can be specified from physical information such as gender, age, height, and weight of the subject, and this can be specified as the judgment reference value or the reference range. In addition, it can be calculated based on the past numerical values of each person to be measured. Specifically, the judgment reference value or the reference range can be an average value of values excluding extremely large values and low values in the past numerical values. Therefore, in the threshold value hypochondrium, it is possible to individually define the judgment reference value or the reference range of various biometric information for each person to be measured.

Such a judgment reference value or reference range defines one value or range for each biological information such as pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, time, and sleep time of the subject, and each of them. Biological information can be specified in a plurality of values or ranges such as mild, moderate, severe, and urgent. Then, when the judgment reference value or the reference range is defined in a plurality of stages for each biometric information in this way, the biometric information and / or the emergency information is transmitted according to each stage such as mild, moderate, severe, and urgent. The receiving device 30 can be different. When the health condition of the subject is imminent, such as severe or urgent, the biometric information and / or urgent information should be transmitted to the receiving device 30 which is different from the mild or moderate one. Can be configured. In this case, the destination selection means 10d, which will be described later, can be configured to select the receiving device 30 for transmitting biometric information and / or emergency information according to the stage of the determination reference value or the reference range.

The biological information monitoring means 10c monitors whether or not the biological information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a is normal based on the determination reference value or the reference range of the threshold storage unit 10b. Specifically, it monitors whether or not the biometric information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a is within the judgment reference value or the reference range specified in the threshold value storage unit 10b, that is, whether or not the person to be measured is in a dangerous state. When the threshold storage unit 10b holds a judgment reference value or reference range of biological information for each person to be measured, the biological information monitoring means 10c measures the judgment reference value or reference range. It can be read out for each person and compared with the biometric information of the person to be measured acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. To read the judgment reference value or reference range for each person to be measured, a unique code is read from the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a, and the judgment reference value or reference range of the biometric information associated with the unique code is used. It can be done by reading. As a matter of course, the monitoring by the biological information monitoring means 10c can be performed for each of the pulse (heart rate), body temperature, blood pressure, activity amount, time, sleep time, etc. of the subject, and any one of them. , Or whether any combination deviates from the above-mentioned judgment reference value or reference range can also be monitored.

The monitoring by the biological information monitoring means 10c will be performed based on the determination reference value or the reference range held in the threshold storage unit 10b. Such reference values or reference ranges may be defined as non-urgent permissible values or permissible ranges, as well as urgent urgent values or urgent ranges. In particular, when the threshold value storage unit 10b holds a numerical value as a reference value, the biological information monitoring means 10c ranks the acquired biological information and the reference value according to the difference or ratio, and then measures the measurement. Can be monitored. At that time, the difference or ratio between the acquired biometric information and the reference value can be used as rank information (urgency information). Further, when the numerical range as the reference range is held in the threshold storage unit 10b, the biological information monitoring means 10c can monitor whether or not the acquired biological information is within the reference range. In particular, when the reference range is specified in a plurality of stages, it is possible to monitor which stage the reference range is included in or out of. At that time, the reference range at the stage where the acquired biometric information is included or excluded can be used as rank information (risk level information).

In the monitoring by the biometric information monitoring means 10c, the destination selection means 10d determines that the acquired biometric information is urgent based on the emergency state determination reference value or the reference range defined in the threshold storage unit 10b. Occasionally, the receiving device 30 for transmitting the biometric information and / or the emergency information is selected based on the measured person position information. The selection of the receiving device 30 based on the measured person position information is within a predetermined range from the receiving device 30 close to the place specified by the measured person position information or the place specified by the measured person position information. In addition to selecting the receiving device 30 that exists in the area), the communication base station that supplies the communication radio wave is specified for the area where the location specified by the measured person's position information exists, and the radio wave from this communication base station. It is possible to identify all the receiving devices 30 that are receiving the radio waves. In this case, the transmission destination selection means 10d can indirectly identify the receiving device 30 via the location of the communication base station.

The selection of the receiving device 30 can be performed when the acquired biological information is determined to be urgent based on the determination reference value or the reference range in the monitoring result (comparison result) of the biological information monitoring means 10c. That is, when the biometric information acquired from any of the subjects is determined to be in an emergency state as a result of the determination based on the reference value or the reference range, the organism is based on the position information of the subject. The receiving device 30 for transmitting information and / or emergency information can be selected. As a result, when it is detected that the biological information in the subject is abnormal, the receiving device 30 most suitable for rescue, such as the receiving device 30 existing in the vicinity thereof, is searched for in real time, and the receiving device 30 is searched for. Therefore, an emergency communication device 10 capable of notifying information (emergency information) in which the biological information of the person to be measured is abnormal is realized.

Further, in the selection of the receiving device 30 in the transmission destination selection means 10d, the rank information can be referred to. That is, when the biometric information monitoring means 10c outputs rank information when monitoring the acquired biometric information, the receiving device 30 to be selected can be different depending on the degree of the rank information. Specifically, when the rank information indicating that the degree of urgency is low is output in the monitoring result of the biometric information, the biometric information and the biometric information and only the receiving device 30 associated with the person to be measured are output. / Or it is configured to transmit emergency information, and when rank information indicating that the degree of urgency is high is output in the monitoring result, it is based on the measured person position information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. , The receiving device 30 existing in the vicinity thereof can be extracted, and the receiving device 30 can also be operated to transmit biometric information and / or emergency information.

The emergency information transmission unit 10e transmits biometric information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 selected by the transmission destination selection means 10d. The transmission destination of the emergency information transmission unit 10e may be a reception device 30 via a specific communication base station, in addition to being direct to each reception device 30. That is, the emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits biometric information and / or emergency information for each receiving device 30, and also transmits biometric information and / or biometric information to siblings associated with each other according to a position or preset conditions. Alternatively, emergency information can be sent.

In addition, the emergency information transmission unit 10e executes a delivery confirmation process for monitoring whether or not the information has been transmitted to any or all receivers after transmitting the biometric information and / or the emergency information. Further, it is possible to execute a read management process for monitoring whether or not the information has been read. That is, in the emergency communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, the biometric information of the person to be measured is transmitted from the transmission device 20 to the emergency communication device 10 via the network, and a communication failure of the network is also conceivable. Further, even if the biometric information and / or the emergency information is transmitted to the receiving device 30, it is meaningless unless the information is transmitted to the holder of the receiver. Therefore, when such a communication failure or the transmitted information is not read, an automatic voice is transmitted to the person to be measured by using a telephone line (particularly preferably a fixed telephone line), and the situation of the person to be measured. Can be notified. Further, the ringtone and the alarm sound in the receiving device 30 can be sounded. Further, in the monitoring result by the biological information monitoring means 10c, it cannot be confirmed that the person stays in the same position even after a predetermined time such as 1 minute or 3 minutes has passed since the measurement was determined to be urgent from the biological information of the person to be measured and has moved. In that case, it is possible to publish the relief request information (name, location information, status, etc.) of the person to be measured by using a social network or the like. The movement status of the person to be measured can be determined from the position information of the person to be measured. In addition, the rescue request information of the measured person in the social network is specified from the position indicated by the measured person's position information based on the user's registration information in the social network and the access point information of the terminal used by the user. It can be announced to users within the range of. The publication of the rescue request information of the measured person can be performed at predetermined intervals, and can be repeated unless the rescuer performs a stop operation from the transmitting device 20 of the measured person.

The emergency information transmission unit 10e transmits biometric information and / or emergency information to the receiving device 30 selected by the destination selection means 10d, which is in a data format such as text, image, or moving image. In addition, it may be an automatic voice or a voice format by an operator. Further, the biometric information and / or the emergency information to be transmitted may include the position information of the person to be measured. By including the measured person's position information, the transmitting device 20 can display the position of itself and the person to be measured on the map by connecting to the map information server connected to the network, or can be measured by itself. It is possible to display the movement route to the person.

Further, the emergency communication device 10 according to the present embodiment further measures, for each person to be measured, a user information storage unit that holds information about the person to be measured and biometric information acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a. It is possible to provide a biometric information storage unit held for each person and / or an access monitoring means for monitoring and restricting access to the biometric information storage unit. These configurations will be described in detail in the description of the operation of the emergency contact system 1 described later.

≪Hardware configuration≫
The emergency communication device 10 including the above components can be formed by a hardware configuration as shown in FIG. That is, the emergency communication device 10 according to this embodiment can be configured by using a computer, which includes a CPU 11, a RAM 12, a storage unit 13, an input unit 14, a display unit 15, and a communication unit 16. be able to. The operation of each of these components is the same as that of the mobile information terminal 20b, but the storage unit includes a program for executing the processing of the emergency communication device 10, a user database 13a as the user information storage unit, and a threshold value. A threshold database 13b as a storage unit 10b and a biometric information / measured person position information database 13c as a biometric information storage unit are provided. The emergency communication device 10 reads the application program, the database program, and the data used during execution of the application program stored in the storage unit 13 into the RAM 12, and the CPU 11 processes the information. Can be executed. Further, in the emergency communication device 10 configured by a computer, the input unit 14 or the communication unit 16 can function as the information acquisition unit 10a, and the threshold database 13b provided in the storage unit stores the threshold value. The biometric information monitoring means 10c can be configured by the program executed by the CPU 11 and the communication unit 16 can function as the transmission destination selection means 10d. Among these components, those having the same function as the components of the mobile information terminal 20b will be described by adding 10 to the code of the mobile information terminal in the drawings.

The emergency communication device 10 does not necessarily have to be configured by one computer, and the arithmetic processing of the CPU 11 can be distributed. In addition, in order to enhance security, a computer equipped with an information acquisition unit 10a and an emergency information transmission unit 10e connected to the Internet and a computer equipped with a threshold storage unit 10b, a biometric information monitoring means 10c, and a destination selection means 10d should be separated. Can be done. Further, when the emergency communication device 10 is provided with a biometric information storage unit (biological information / measured person position information database 13c), the biometric information storage unit and an access monitoring means 10f for monitoring access to the biometric information storage unit are further provided. It can also be built on another computer.

≪Receiver 30≫
In the process of the emergency communication device 10, if the biometric information of the person to be measured is judged to be urgent based on the judgment reference value or the reference range based on the result of the biometric information monitoring means 10c, the transmission destination selection means 10d is used. The emergency information transmitting unit 10e transmits biometric information and / or emergency information indicating that the person to be measured is in an urgent state to the selected receiving device 30, and the receiving device 30 receives the information. 30 receives this.

The biometric information and / or emergency information received by the receiving device 30 may be in a data format such as text, an image, or a moving image as described above, or may be in a voice format. Therefore, the receiving device 30 may be an information processing device such as a portable information terminal (smartphone, tablet terminal, etc.) or a computer capable of data communication, or may be a communication device such as a fixed telephone or a facsimile.

The receiving device 30 is a terminal or device on the receiver side that receives the biometric information and / or the emergency information notifying the emergency state. Such receivers include a person or facility that monitors the health condition or emergency condition of the person to be measured, a person or facility that provides relief in an emergency of the person to be measured, or a person to be measured other than the person to be measured who has notified the emergency state. It may be. That is, it is the transmitting device 20 when transmitting the biometric information and the position information of the measured person, but it is the receiving device 30 when receiving the biometric information and / or the emergency information about another person to be measured.

Further, the receiving device 30 includes, in addition to the transmitting device 20, a device and a terminal exclusively for receiving biometric information and / or emergency information. For example, a device or terminal possessed by a receiver who monitors, cares for, or manages a specific person to be measured. The receiving device 30 possessed by the receiver can be registered in the emergency communication device 10 in association with the person to be measured. Therefore, as the receiver according to the present embodiment, one or two or more designated receivers registered in association with a specific measured person and an area receiver selected based on the measured person's position information. It can be roughly divided into. The designated receiving device 30a possessed by the designated receiver is registered in association with each measured person in the user information storage unit (user database 13a). Further, the area receiving device 30b possessed by the area receiver does not need to be associated with any of the measured persons, but the area receiving device position information indicating the current position information is grasped by the emergency communication device 10. Must be. It is also desirable that the emergency communication device 10 knows the current position of the designated receiving device 30a. By acquiring the position information of each of the receiving devices 30 by the emergency communication device 10, it is possible to accurately and appropriately manage the operation of the emergency communication device 10, and the receiver is to be measured. It will be possible to provide map information and route information to the person.

The receiving device 30 can be constructed with the same hardware configuration as the transmitting device 20. However, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving device 30 (designated receiving device 30a, etc.) for exclusively acquiring the biometric information and / or emergency information of the person to be measured includes the configuration of the wearable terminal 20a, the short-range communication unit, and the like. May be omitted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the receiving device 30 composed of a mobile information terminal such as a smartphone includes a CPU 31, a RAM 32, a storage unit 33, an input unit 34, a display unit 35, a communication unit 36, and a GPS 38. The storage unit 33 holds a program executed by the CPU 31 and a location information database acquired by GPS. Since these components are functionally the same as the components of the receiving device 20, 20 is added to the code of the receiving device in the drawings, and the description thereof will be omitted.

≪Processing flow of emergency contact system 1: Basic processing≫
Next, the specific processing of the emergency communication system 1 according to the above embodiment will be described with reference to the sequence diagram showing the processing flow of the entire system shown in FIG. When executing this process, the mobile information terminal 20b acquires the biometric information of the person to be measured from the wearable terminal 20a in the person to be measured who is the user of the system (biological information magazine acquisition step 31). However, if the biometric information measuring device (20a) such as the wearable terminal 20a can be connected to an information communication network such as the Internet, the biometric information measuring device (20a) shall acquire biometric information from the person to be measured. You can also.

Then, the transmission device 20 used by the person to be measured adds its own position information to the acquired biometric information and then transmits the information to the emergency communication device 10 through an information communication network such as the Internet (biological information / location information transmission). Step S32). The emergency communication device 10 acquires the biometric information / measured person position information sent from the transmitting device 20 (biological information / measured person position information acquisition step S33), and uses this as the biometric information / subject provided in the storage means. Record in the measurer position information database 13c (biological information recording step S34). As shown in FIG. 4, the biometric information / measured person position information database 13c uses the device ID of the transmitting device 20 for transmitting the biometric information of the measured person as the user ID, and is associated with the user ID from the transmitting device 20. The acquired position information is registered as the position information of the person to be measured and the acquired biometric information. The biometric information / measured person position information database 13c can also hold information on the date and time when each biometric information or the like was acquired. Then, each time the biological information / position information is acquired from each transmission device 20, the biological information and the position information for each person to be measured are accumulated in the database. In this embodiment, an example in which one database is constructed for the entire measured person who is a user is shown, but this can also be constructed as a database for each measured person.

The emergency communication device 10 also acquires the position information of the receiving device 30 which is also another transmitting device 20. This means that each receiving device 30 also transmits its own position information to the emergency communication device 10 (position information transmission step S35), and the emergency communication device 10 that receives this transmits the position information of the receiving device 30 to the receiving device position. This can be achieved by acquiring it as information (receiver position information acquisition step S36). Since the transmitting device 20 for transmitting the biological signal of the person to be measured can also be the receiving device 30 as it is, in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c according to the present embodiment, both are similarly used. I'm recording. However, the position of the receiving device 30 for exclusively receiving the biological signal of the person to be measured without transmitting the biological signal is as shown in "X00028" and "X00039" in FIG. It is configured to send only information.

Then, in the emergency communication device 10, in the threshold value reading step 37, the judgment reference value or the reference range regarding the acquired biometric information is read out. However, the threshold value reading step 37 and the subsequent abnormality monitoring step S38 are configured to perform the acquired biological information of the measured person as it is (without recording it in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c). Is also good. The reading of the judgment reference value or the reference range in the threshold reading step 37 is performed on the biological information / measured person position information recorded in the biological information / measured person position information database 13c (or acquired by the information acquisition unit 10a). It can be performed by reading out the judgment reference value or the reference range of the person to be measured, which is recorded in the threshold database 13b as the threshold storage means, using the user ID (device ID) as a clue.

The threshold database 13b holds biometric information of each person to be measured in association with the user ID. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, an allowable value is defined as a judgment reference value for each item (pulse, body temperature, blood pressure, etc.) of biological information. However, this threshold database 13b may specify not a specific value but a numerical range as a judgment criterion, and the numerical range may be specified as an allowable range or a dangerous range. Further, in this threshold database 13b, a value is set so as not to judge the emergency state regardless of the presence or absence of biometric information for the user (receiver) whose purpose is exclusively to monitor the person to be measured. In the present embodiment, since the permissible value is defined as the judgment reference value, the value of "∞" is given so as to allow all the values.

As described above, after the acquired biometric information and the judgment reference value or reference range related thereto are read, the abnormality monitoring step S38 is executed. In this abnormality monitoring step S38, it is determined whether the acquired biological information is a normal value or an abnormal value in comparison with the determination reference value or the reference range. This judgment can be judged by the difference or ratio from the judgment standard value, or whether or not it is included in the judgment standard range. In the present embodiment, since the permissible value is set as the judgment reference value, if the difference from this permissible value is large or the ratio to the permissible value deviates from 1, the biometric information is obtained. It can be determined that it is abnormal.

If no abnormality is found in the acquired biological information in the abnormality monitoring step S38, the process returns to the biological information / measured person position information acquisition step S33, and by looping this, the acquired biological information is abnormal. Continue monitoring until it is determined to be present. On the other hand, if it is determined in the abnormality monitoring step S38 that there is an abnormality in the acquired biological information, the receiving device 30 that transmits the biological information indicating the abnormality and / or the emergency information in the biological information of the person to be measured 30. Select (recipient). In this embodiment, the selection of the receiving device 30 is executed as the designated receiving device extraction step S39 and the area receiving device extraction step S42.

The designated receiver extraction step S39 is a designated receiver registered in association with the person to be measured when it is determined in the abnormality monitoring step S38 that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the person to be measured. This is the process of extracting the designated receiver 30a). The designated recipient can be extracted by searching the user database 13a. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the user database 13a holds the user's name, age, gender, address, and contact information as a designated recipient in association with the user ID. .. In the present embodiment, since the device ID in the transmitting device 20 is used as the user ID, the name and address of the user (measured person or receiver) are associated with the device ID (transmitting device 20). And the designated contact information (“designated contact 1” and “designated contact 2” in FIG. 6) to be notified when the biometric information acquired from the user becomes abnormal is registered. The designated contact may be recorded as a telephone number that does not require a user ID as shown in "Designated Contact 2" in addition to the user ID as shown in the "Designated Contact 1" column of FIG. can.

After extracting the designated receiving device 30a in the designated receiving device extraction step S39, the emergency communication device 10 notifies the designated receiving device 30a of the emergency state of the person to be measured in the emergency information transmission step S40. Send biometric and / or emergency information. Then, when the designated receiver receives biometric information and / or emergency information (emergency information acquisition step S41), the designated receiver has an abnormality in the subject to be monitored by himself / herself, or in an emergency situation. You can quickly know that there is something.

If it is determined in the abnormality monitoring step S38 that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the subject, the designated receiving device extraction step S39 and the emergency information transmission step S40 for the designated receiving device 30a are performed. Alternatively, the area receiver extraction step S42 can be executed.

When it is determined in the abnormality monitoring step S38 that there is an abnormality in the biological information acquired from the measured person, the area receiving device extraction step S42 receives the area existing in the area within a predetermined range from the measured person. This is a process for extracting a person (area receiver 30b). The extraction of the area receiving device 30b is based on the position information (measured person's position information) transmitted by the person to be measured who is determined to have an abnormality in the biological information, and the area receiving device 30b existing near the person to be measured is present. To extract. At that time, the area receiving device 30b is a transmitting device 20 other than the transmitting device 20 owned by the subject who is determined to have an abnormality in the biological information, and a receiving device 30 that exclusively monitors the biological information. .. Since the position information of the receiving device 30 is stored in the biometric information / measured person position information database 13c, the receiving device 30 existing within a predetermined range from the measured person's position information can be referred to as the biometric information / measured person. It can be extracted by searching the subject position information database 13c. The receiving device 30 to be extracted can be appropriately set according to the population density of the area, with a radius of 1 km, 3 km, or 10 km from the position specified from the position information of the person to be measured.

After extracting the area receiving device 30b in the area receiving device extraction step S42, the emergency communication device 10 informs the area receiving device 30b of the emergency state of the person to be measured in the emergency information transmission step S43. Send biometric and / or emergency information. Then, the area receiver located near the person to be measured in a dangerous or emergency state receives the biometric information and / or the emergency information (emergency information acquisition step S44), so that the person to be measured can quickly receive the information. Rescue can be done.

Then, in the emergency communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, the emergency communication device 10 is the information transmitted by the emergency information transmission unit 10e of the emergency communication device 10 depending on the type of the receiving device 30 (designated receiving device 30a or area receiving device 30b). Can be different. That is, as shown in the emergency contact screen of the receiving device 30 in FIG. 7, the main part information 41 indicating that the person to be measured monitored by the designated receiving device is dangerous or urgent for the designated receiving device 30a. And, the measured person information 42 such as the name, age and gender of the measured person in a dangerous or emergency state, and the location information 43 of the place indicating the current location of the measured person (measured person position information) are displayed. At the same time, a "confirmation" button 44 for transmitting information indicating that the information has been confirmed to the emergency contact device 10 is displayed. By pressing the "confirmation" button 44, answerback information indicating that the designated recipient has confirmed the information can be transmitted to the emergency contact device 10. On the other hand, the information to be transmitted to the area receiver 30b includes the main part information 41 indicating that there is a person to be measured in a dangerous or emergency state nearby, and the name, age and gender of the person to be measured in the dangerous or emergency state. The measured person information 42 such as, and the position information 43 of the place indicating the current location (measured person position information) of the measured person are displayed. That is, the button 44 for answer back is not displayed for the area receiving device 30b. However, the area receiving device 30b may also be configured to display the answerback button.

≪Processing flow of emergency contact system 1: Threshold ranking≫
When it is determined that the biological information is abnormal in relation to the processing flow of the emergency contact system 1 shown in FIG. 3, the living body of the person to be measured is taken into consideration with the rank information indicating the degree of the abnormality. You can also manage the information.

FIG. 8 is a sequence diagram showing a processing flow of the emergency communication system 1 when monitoring the biological information of the person to be measured, taking the rank information into consideration. In the emergency contact system 1 shown in this figure, similarly to the emergency contact system 1 shown in FIG. The biometric information / location information transmission step S32 to which the location information is added and transmitted to the emergency communication device 10 is executed. The receiving device 30 executes the position information transmission step S35 for transmitting its own position information to the emergency communication device 10. Then, in the emergency communication device 10, the receiving device position information acquisition step S36 for acquiring the position information transmitted by the receiving device 30 and the biometric information / measured person for acquiring the biometric information / measured person position information transmitted by the transmitting device 20. The location information acquisition step S33 is executed. Then, the emergency communication device 10 executes the biometric information storage step S34 for holding the acquired biometric information in the biometric information / measured person position information database 13c, and executes the biometric information storage step S34, and the threshold value (judgment reference value or judgment reference value) of the biometric information regarding the measured person.
