7 is a diagram showing a process of predicting and diagnosing a high solitary yarn according to the present invention.

The basic concept of the solitary prediction algorithm is a method of analyzing various sensing data extracted from the portable terminal and the cradle provided to the service person and notifying the service person that the risk of loneliness is predicted when the change is not detected for 48 hours. In this case, the sensing data mainly used are user reaction data, position data, momentum data, and illuminance data among the data described in the previous chapter.

The contents of each step of FIG. 7 are as follows.

① Sensing data registration

Sensing data is extracted from the terminal. Start Solicitation Prediction Algorithm.

② User reaction information presence

Confirmation of user reaction information in extracted sensing data

If it exists, it is judged that the user is active, so it ends with "⑪ safety index 100".

③ Whether the location information is changed

Check whether the current location information is different from the location value transferred when registering the previous sensing data.

In other cases, it is judged that the user is active, so it ends with "⑪ safety index 100".

④ Exercise information change

Check whether the momentum data exists in the sensing data

If it exists, it is judged that the user is active, so it ends with "⑪ safety index 100".

⑤ Whether illuminance information

Check whether there is illumination data in the sensing data

If it does not exist, go to "⑧ Decrease in Safety Index"

⑥ Measurement range of illumination information change

Since the brightness information is the measured brightness of the house, the change occasionally occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the change amount of the previous 3 days to determine whether the change is within the range.

⑦ Whether the value of change allowable value

If the amount of change is out of the average measurement range, it is judged that there is movement in the house, so it ends with "⑪ safety index 100".

⑧ deduction of safety index

Since the change is not detected in the service target, the safety index starts to be deducted from 100.

The safety index is displayed from 100 to 0 and is deducted in 5-minute increments for a total of 48 hours.

Moving from the registered sensing data to "⑪ safety index 100" when detecting the change status.

⑨ Safety index value 0 check

Check whether the current safety index value is 0. If the safety index value is 0, it moves to "⑫ Risk of solitude".

⑩ Check every 5 minutes

When the safety index starts to be deducted from the service, the status is checked every 5 minutes, and if the change is not detected, it is deducted continuously.

⑪ Safety index 100

The visitor is judged to be active.

⑫ Risk of loneliness

The safety index value was 0 and the change was not detected from the service subject for 48 hours, so urgent visit and confirmation is required.

Screens that are provided to each task performing entity in the course of this process and enable inquiry and necessary manipulation are illustrated in Figures 8-11.

Hereinafter, a terminal device according to the present invention, which is optimized to the above system, will be described.

Figs. 12 to 15 are diagrams showing a terminal device according to the present invention used by a person to be observed, and Fig. 16 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of Fig.

The terminal for managing solitary manuscript according to the present invention comprises a terminal (10) and a cradle (20). (Fig. 12) The terminal 10 is a device to be observed or worn by a person to be observed, and the cradle 20 is a device placed in a paired relationship with the terminal and placed in the vicinity of the observer.

The terminal 10 is made in a size that is easy to carry and is configured as a necklace type so that the user can easily hang around the neck through the neck (Fig. 13). In the case of an emergency situation, The emergency button is provided. In addition, the terminal 10 is provided with a display or a speaker for visually displaying a notification message (Figs. 13 and 14). (Fig. 13 and Fig. 14) The cradle 20 can be used to seat the terminal 10 for charging, And is configured to have a recessed accommodating portion conforming to the external shape of the terminal so as to be stored in the seaclays 20 (Fig. 15)

16, the internal configuration of the terminal 10 and the cradle 20 will be described.

The terminal 10 includes an input unit 11, a sensor unit 13, a first communication unit 15, and a display unit 17.

The input unit 11 is a configuration for inputting a predetermined command by a person to be observed, and may include the urgent button, the movement button, and the like in addition to the general command input button. The emergency button is a button for inputting an instruction for notifying that the observer is in an emergency situation. The move button is a button for inputting a command informing that the observer is in a state of being moved for a long time from the place where the observer has left the place (for example, a state such as traveling or long-term visit to a friend's house).

The sensor unit 13 includes various sensors for collecting status information including information on the health or activity status of the observer. A sensor for measuring body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar and the like is important if it is a terminal for healthcare in general medical purposes. However, in the present invention, And a first illuminance sensor for measuring illuminance around the terminal 10 and collecting the first illuminance information.

The first communication unit 15 transmits the status information and the first roughness information collected by the sensor unit 13 to the management server for management 30 for high dodging administration through a communication network and sends a notification message received from the management server 30 .

The display unit 17 displays a notification message received by the first communication unit 15.

The cradle 20 has a charging unit 21, a second illuminance sensor 23, and a second communication unit 25. The charging unit 21 charges the terminal 10 while the terminal 10 is seated on the cradle 20. [ The second illuminance sensor 23 measures the illuminance of the second illuminant and collects the second illuminance information. The second communication unit 25 transmits the second illuminance information to the first communication unit 15 of the terminal 10. The second communication unit 25 can transmit the second illuminance information to the terminal 10 through the communication by the direct contact with the terminal 10 or the short distance communication by the NFC.

In the terminal device having such a configuration, the terminal 10 transmits the first roughness information measured by itself or the second roughness information received from the cradle 20 to the management server 30 through the first communication section 15 The management server 30 functions to provide information that enables the observer to determine whether to observe the observer or the degree of risk of the observer based on the first illuminance information or the second illuminance information. This will be described in detail below.

The terminal 10 collects status information including information on the health or activity status of the observer who is or is worn by the observer. The terminal 10 collects first illuminance information, which is illuminance information around the terminal 10, through the first illuminance sensor. The collected first illuminance information is transmitted to the management server 30.

The cradle (20) is placed at the base of the observer and is a device paired with the terminal. Here, "quasi-verse" refers to the place where the subject of observation is mainly located, and may be a concept different from the prescription of the dictionary meaning. The reference will usually be home, but may vary depending on the needs of the observer. For example, if the observer travels on a long trip and carries the cradle 20 and travels to the destination, the destination will be the travel destination. The cradle 20 collects second illuminance information, which is illuminance of the quasi-station through the second illuminance sensor 23, and transmits the second illuminance information to the terminal 10, and the second illuminance information is transmitted to the management server 30). The management server 30 receives the status information from the terminal 10 through the communication network, analyzes the status of the observer, and transmits a notification message to the observer 10 according to the analysis result, and displays the notification message.

In the present invention, the management server receives the illuminance information from the terminal and discriminates whether the observer is solitary or solitary, according to a predetermined criterion.

The predetermined criterion here may include the average illuminance of the illuminance measured by the second illuminance sensor 23 of the first illuminance sensor or the cradle 20 of the terminal 10 for a predetermined time in advance. For example, when the subject to be observed keeps the cradle 20 in the inside of the house, the second illuminance sensor 23 of the cradle 20 measures the illuminance in the installed room in every five minutes for about one week The measured illuminance value is collected as data. The object to be observed may be placed on the cradle 20 for the purpose of charging the terminal 10 or the cradle 20 and the terminal 10 may be positioned within a certain distance so that a local area network (NFC) The illuminance measurement value for one week is transmitted from the cradle 20 to the terminal 10 and the management server 30 receives the measured value from the terminal and calculates the average value of the illuminance, And is set to a predetermined standard. When a predetermined criterion is prepared using the first illuminance sensor, the management server 30 receives the first illuminance information directly from the terminal 10 and calculates the average illuminance.

The predetermined reference may include a change in illumination intensity measured by the first illuminance sensor of the terminal 10 or the second illuminance sensor 23 of the cradle 20 for a predetermined period of time. Here, the roughness change may be constituted by data of actual illuminance values for every illuminance measurement period, variations of measured illuminance values, maximum and minimum values of actual illuminance values, and deviations from the average of measured illuminance values. As compared with the method of using the average value of the roughness as in the above example, by using the change or the amount of change of the specific roughness every hour or so, after the setting of the reference, the subject to be compared with the value of the actually measured roughness is diversified, More precise analysis is possible.

The predetermined criterion thus prepared is used as a criterion for discriminating whether or not it is a high degree of solitude or a high risk of solitude through comparison with measured illuminance information thereafter. The measured illumination information may be first illumination information of the terminal 10 or second illumination information of the cradle 20.

That is, the first illuminance information actually measured by the terminal 10 is transmitted from the terminal 10 to the management server 30, and the second illuminance information actually measured by the cradle 20 is transmitted through the terminal 10 And transmitted to the management server 30. The first illuminance information measured by the terminal 10 means the illuminance at the current position of the observer, and the second illuminance information measured by the cradle 20 means the illuminance at the reference position. If the average value or the illuminance change of the first illuminance information or the second illuminance information actually measured by the terminal or the cradle is much different from the predetermined reference in comparison with the predetermined reference set in advance, In the case of the information, it is possible to deduce that the position of the terminal 10 does not normally move to the observation target or the position of the terminal 10 itself does not change, It can be seen that the illuminance at the stage where the cradle 20 is installed is remarkably different from the usual level, and the illuminance is not changed at all.

If the person to be observed is lonely, the operation of the illumination lamp in the house is not performed in the state of being dead. Therefore, for example, during the period of about 2 days, the illuminance actually measured in the cradle 20 is changed to the average illuminance It is possible that the person who is observing the loneliness of the observation object is likely to have occurred. Likewise, in the case of illuminance information from the terminal 10, the likelihood of occurrence of an accident can be determined by measuring the illuminance of the environment around the observer. This possibility is quantified so that it is diagnosed as a "danger of solitude" if the number is above a certain level, and diagnosed as "solitude death" when it reaches a higher level (see the process shown in FIG. 7).

Meanwhile, the cradle 20 may transmit unique information identifying the cradle itself together with the second illuminance information to the terminal. The unique information of the cray is transmitted to the management server 30 together with the second illuminance information.

When the unique information is given to each cradle 20 and the second illuminance information of the cradle 20 corresponding to the unique information is matched to the unique information and transmitted, the object to be observed may include a plurality of cradles 20, It can be used to implement. For example, when the observer visits the observers frequently, there may be a cradle 20 provided by the observer itself or a cradle 20 provided by another observer other than the observer's own cradle 20 have. When the terminal 10 is connected to the cradle 20 via the NFC, the cradle 10 can communicate with the terminal 10 for a predetermined time (for example, three days And transmits the second illuminance information to the terminal. Accordingly, the management server 30 can set a predetermined reference value for the cradle 20 provided at a position other than the cradle 20 directly used by the person to be observed personally.

On the other hand, in the present invention, if it is diagnosed whether or not to observe solitude based on the set reference value as described above, for example, when the observer moves away from his or her own cradle 20 due to traveling for three days or more, Rather, a predetermined reference value may cause misdiagnosis in the diagnosis of the hypothesis and occurrence of hypoxia. Therefore, in order to prevent such a false diagnosis, the sensor unit 13 of the terminal 10 is provided with a position sensor such as a GPS device, and the current position information of the terminal 10 detected by the position sensor is transmitted to the management server 30 send. When the position is adjacent to the cradle 20, for example, the management server 30 mainly applies the reference value and the measurement value according to the second illuminance information, and the cradle 20, If the position is away, the setting can be changed so that the selective operation of the method of applying only the reference value and the measurement value according to the first illuminance information is performed.

In addition to the method based on the positioning of the terminal 10, this method may be configured to follow a method of arbitrarily selecting, for example, a person to be observed by operating the terminal 10, or a method of arbitrarily selecting a management server by a social worker or local governor It is possible.

In addition, as described above, the input unit 11 of the terminal 10 may be provided with a move button for inputting a command to inform that the observer has moved for a long period to an area deviating from the stationary station. For example, when the observer travels to a long-term travel destination or visits his / her relatives' home for a long period of time, the user inputs the moved location using the move button and notifies the management server 30 of the moved location.

Particularly, the movement button is utilized for the case where the cradle 20 is moved without the subject to be observed. That is, when the cradle 20 moves without carrying the cradle 20, it is inappropriate for the management server 30 to use the second roughness information obtained by the cradle 20 to judge whether or not the second roughness information is solitary. This is because the cradle 20 placed on the reference site collects the unchanged illuminance as the second illuminance information while the observer does not have the observer. Therefore, when a notice indicating that the observer has been moved for a long period of time has been received from the observing entity by the move button, the management server 30 can collect the information collected from the terminal 10 without using the information collected from the cradle 20 Use only information to determine if you are lonely.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
