Abstract

The device for determining the well-being of a person comprises an operating element (11) which can be actuated by the person in order to generate a well-being signal, and monitoring means (10, 30) which, in the active state, carry out monitoring in which it is checked whether up to an alarm time, a well signal has been generated, and in the absence of the well signal, an alarm signal is transmitted to at least one receiver and, if the well signal is present, the check is repeated after a certain period of time.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for determining the well-being of a person with an operating element and monitoring means.

In Switzerland there are more and more old people living in a single person household. There are known patent applications which have the purpose of offering protection to these people by, in the event of a fall or other accident or also in the event of an illness, an alarm or a call for help e.g. is triggered by means of a «telephone chain». In addition, case sensors and other sensors attached to the body of the elderly are used.

The Swiss Red Cross and the Spitex organization promote the so-called "red button" to protect the elderly, which must be triggered by the person concerned himself. Practice has shown that the «red button can only offer limited protection. Many seniors refuse to carry the device around, be it that they fear the triggering of a false alarm with its consequences, because of a widespread technological phobia in old age, or because the seniors are aware that a lot of emergencies occur because of the «red button» The affected person is unable to move. This is all the more worrying given that a large number of elderly people living alone are terribly afraid of dying and have not been found for a long time.

A system is also known which is based on the measure of calling a person living alone by telephone at a specific time of day. If the call is not answered, the caller triggers an alarm. This system ensures that it is ensured with certainty that a situation in which a person has died, is paralyzed or is otherwise prevented from operating the "red button" is paid attention within a useful period of time. On the other hand, this system has the disadvantage that an auxiliary person or at most a programmed call system is absolutely necessary. In the event of the absence of a person who is supervised via this system, the supervisor must be informed to avoid false alarms and records must be kept for longer absences.

An object of the present invention is to provide a device for determining the well-being of a person which simplifies monitoring.

A device that solves this problem is specified in claim 1. The other claims indicate preferred designs.

According to claim 1, the device comprises an operating element which can be actuated by the person in order to generate a well-being signal.

For example, the device has a device that has a green button as a control element and can be placed on the bedside table or anywhere else. If the well-being of the person being cared for is good when he wakes up or gets up, he presses the «green button on the device and thus informs the device that no alarm can be triggered. If this does not happen within a control period set or adjustable on the device (e.g. between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.), an alarm is triggered which corresponds to pressing the «red button». Preferably the start of the control period is adjustable, e.g. by setting a mechanical switch. The device can be used together with a carrying device with a red button, which allows the user to directly trigger an alarm if necessary.

More preferably, the device is set up so that it generates a warning signal when the control element is forgotten before the control period expires, e.g. a buzzer sound that cannot be overheard. Preferably, if the cared person is absent for one or more nights, the device can be put into an inactive state, e.g. is indicated by flashing on the device.

In one embodiment, the device has a carrying device with a green and / or red button, the monitoring running on a server on the Internet (“cloud solution”).

Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a monitoring device for determining the well-being of a person. The device comprises a device 10 which is designed for stationary use, e.g. on a bedside table. The device 10 is box-shaped and has an operating element 11 in the form of an operator button which has a specific color, e.g. Green. The device 10 is set up in such a way that a user has to operate the operating element 11 within a certain time window in order to indicate that he is doing well. The actuation of the control element 11 accordingly causes a well signal to be generated.

The device 10 comprises input means 12 for setting at least one time parameter (cf. the following explanation for FIG. 2). Here the input means have a mechanical setting switch 12, e.g. Rotary and / or toggle switch that can take different positions. Preferably, at least 3 different settings, preferably at least 5 different settings, can be set by means of the at least one setting switch 12. The provision of a mechanical setting switch has the advantage that simple programming is provided for the user.

The device 10 further comprises a warning device 13, e.g. in the form of an acoustic warning device, for example buzzer, to draw the user's attention to the fact that he has forgotten to operate the operating element 11.

The device 10 has a switch 14 to be able to switch it on and off, and a display 15 for indicating whether the device is switched on or off.

The device 10 further has various modules 21-25, which are symbolically indicated in FIG. 1 by arrows. The following modules 21–25 can be provided: Time switch module 21: This module 21 serves as a time measuring device, so that the control (logic module 22) can trigger events at certain predetermined times. Logic module 22: This module 22 is linked to the time switch module 21 and set up to process signals from the time switch module 21 and to emit signals to the modules 23 and 24. The logic module 22 has a programmable unit in order to be able to specify parameters, in particular time events. User warning module 23: This module 23 is connected to the logic module 22 and serves to warn the user of certain events. The module 23 is e.g. the warning device 13, the control element 11 which flashes when there is a warning, a warning lamp which flashes when there is a warning, etc. Alarm module 24: This module 23 is connected to the logic module 22 and serves to transmit an alarm to an external receiver. The alarm module 24 is e.g. set up to send the alarm directly or indirectly via a telephone connection, via the Internet and / or to a reception, monitoring center or other center. In one embodiment, alarm module 24 is wireless, e.g. can be connected by radio to an existing telephone, which is set up to establish a telephone connection and thus transmit the alarm. Different variants of the transmission are explained below with reference to FIGS. 6-9. Energy module 25: This module 25 serves to supply the device 10 with energy and is e.g. designed as a battery, rechargeable battery and / or as a mains connection.

In Fig. 1, a wearable carrying device 30 is further shown, here in the form of a bracelet 32 with an operating element 31. This is e.g. formed as an operator button and has a specific color that is different from the color of the control element 11, e.g. Red. Carrier 30 is e.g. in active connection with the device 10 and / or with the base device which serves for transmitting the alarm to the receiver. A user can carry the carrying device 30 and, if he needs help, press the operator button 31 and thus trigger an alarm transmission to a receiver. The actuation of the control element 31 thus directly generates an alarm signal.

The device 10 may have other devices, e.g. a time of day display, wake-up time display, etc. Speakers and a microphone can also be provided in order to be able to communicate with a receiver of an alarm signal, e.g. via a telephone connection and / or via a connection to an intercom.

It is also conceivable to equip a telephone with the functions of the device 10. The telephone accordingly has an operating element 11 for generating a well-signal and, depending on the design, one or more of the components 12-15 and 21-25.

Fig. 1a shows a device 10 ', which is a variant of the device 10 according to FIG. 1. The device 10 'has a recess 17 in which the carrying device 30 can be received and thus defines a storage space for it. This can e.g. can be used at night in order to be able to store the carrying device 30 in a defined place. The carrying device 30 in the storage space is arranged in a recessed manner with respect to the operating element 11, so that an undesired actuation of the operating element 31 is prevented.

In a further embodiment, the device 10 'can be provided with a charging module in order to be able to charge the carrying device 30, for example inductively, when it is located in the recess 17.

Fig. 1a shows a further support device 30 ', which is a variant of the support device 30 and which can be used as an alternative or in addition to this. The carrying device 30 'has the operating element 31 for generating the alarm signal and a loop 33 is formed, e.g. by means of a band, a cord, a chain, etc. The loop serves for the user to carry the carrying device 30 'e.g. to be able to wear around the neck.

Fig. 1b shows a device 10 '', which is a variant of the device 10 'according to Fig. 1a. The device 10 '' has a transmitter with an antenna 18 which can be designed to be movable in order to be able to set the transmission or reception power. The device 10 '' can be connected to the Internet 70 via the antenna 18, to which a receiver 71 is also connected. The device 10 ́ ́ is e.g. equipped with a SIM card to be able to establish a direct internet connection. Data can be exchanged between the device 10 '' and the receiver 71 via the Internet 70, e.g. if a server is provided on the part of the receiver 71.

Depending on who is on the side of the recipient of the well or alarm signal, the monitoring device is adapted accordingly. Should e.g. if a senior living alone is monitored, who are not connected to a monitoring center, the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is set up so that when the alarm signal is generated, a given telephone number is called and the alarm signal is transmitted in the form of a specific message, which allows the user to be identified and to recognize that he needs help. It is also conceivable to set up the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ so that several predefined telephone numbers are called in succession (telephone chain) until a caller acknowledges the call and thus interrupts the telephone chain. To avoid a false alarm, this caller can try to reach the alarm trigger by phone before organizing help.

If a monitoring center is provided, the alarm signal is transmitted to it. E.g. a retirement home has a reception to which the alarm signal e.g. can be transmitted via a radio module or a line. In a simple embodiment, an alarm lamp in the corresponding room starts to flash on the display at the reception and / or an acoustic signal sounds. If the reception is not manned, e.g. during night operation, a switch to a telephone call as explained above is conceivable.

A monitoring center is provided, which e.g. offers 24-hour monitoring, the alarm signal e.g. transmitted via radio, a telephone connection and / or internet connection.

The device 10, 10 'is set up to be able to specify one or more time parameters. These time parameters define the time window in which a user has to operate the operating element 11 in order to indicate that he is doing well. The time window is set within one day. A pre-warning time can be provided, which indicates to the user that an alarm is triggered if he does not operate the control element 11 within a certain period of time. When the pre-warning time begins, a warning signal is generated which sets the warning device 13 in motion. If the user presses the actuating element 11 within the prewarning time, the comfort signal is generated and the warning device 13 is switched off.

Fig. 2 shows an example of a time axis T of a day of 24 hours, a rectangle representing one hour. T1 defines the point in time from which a control period begins, within which a user must operate the control element 11 in order to generate the well-being signal. T2 defines the time up to which a user should actuate the control element 11. T3 defines the point in time when an alarm signal is generated if the control element 11 has not been confirmed.

The time period T3-T1 thus defines the control period within which the user must operate the control element 11 in order to avoid an alarm. T3-T2 defines the advance warning time in which the user is made aware of the end of the control period if the control element 11 has not yet been confirmed.

In the example according to FIG. 2, T1 is set to 8:00 a.m. and T2 to 12:00 p.m. The warning time T3 – T2 is half an hour. Of course, the times T1, T2, T3 can also be set differently.

In the device 10, 10 ', the start of the control period T1 can be specified, e.g. via switch 12. For example, the user can choose between T1 = 5 a.m., 6 a.m., 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 10 a.m. Of course, other times are also conceivable. To indicate which time parameter T1 has been selected, corresponding markings can be provided at the switch 12 and / or a display can be provided which shows the corresponding information about T1. The length of the control period T3-T1 and / or the prewarning time T3-T2 can be fixed or can also be specified by the user.

The device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is set up so that it can be put into an inactive state, in which no monitoring takes place, e.g. because the user is absent for more than a day. The deactivation is carried out by actuating the switch 14, which triggers a display signal. For example, this causes the control element 11 to start flashing, indicating that the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is inactive. The switch 14 thus serves as an interruption means to interrupt the monitoring, and the control element 11 as a display means to indicate the inactive state of the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́.

3 shows a possible flow diagram of the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ during operation: In step 40 it is checked whether the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is active. If no, a display signal has been triggered, which e.g. the control element 11 flashes (step 41). By actuating the switch 14, the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is reactivated and the blinking of the control element 11 stops (step 42). If the device 10, 10 ́, 10 ́ ́ is active, monitoring begins in step 43. A control value KW is e.g. set to zero. By defining the time parameters T1 and T2 (input 44) the time window of the monitoring is determined. In step 45 it is checked at time T2 whether the control element 11 has been actuated, so that the control value KW e.g. was set to one. If no, the warning is triggered, which sets the warning device 13 in motion (step 46). If the control value KW is set to one, the Step 47 the end of the monitoring and the control value KW is set to zero. If the control value KW is still zero at T3, the alarm is triggered.

1, FIG. 1 a and FIG. 1 b, the two operating elements 11 and 31 are arranged in separate units. It is conceivable to arrange both controls in a single unit. Fig. 4 shows an example of a device 10 '' ', which in addition to the control element 11 has the control element 31' for the direct generation of an alarm signal. The control element 31 'is designed here in the form of an operator button, which is arranged recessed in order to avoid inadvertent actuation. The device 10 ́ ́ ́ can also have one or more of the components 12-15, 21-25 of the device 10.

Fig. 5a shows a mobile variant in the form of a portable support device 30 '', which is designed in the form of a bracelet 32, on which, in addition to the control element 31, the control element 11 'are arranged to generate the well-being signal. The control element 31 ́ is e.g. designed as an operator button with ends that are arranged on the side of the bracelet 32, so that the control element 31 'e.g. can be operated using the thumb and forefinger.

The support device 30 ́ ́ also has i.a. an energy module e.g. a battery and a transmitter 34 (symbolically indicated by the arrow in FIG. 5 a), by means of which a welcome and alarm signal can be transmitted wirelessly to a base device 50. The base device 50 can e.g. be set up as the device 10, in which the controls 11 and 31 are omitted. The base device 50 can also be a telephone on which e.g. a monitoring program is running and / or a connection device to the Internet, e.g. a router.

In a simple embodiment, no programming of the time parameters T1, T2, T3 is provided in the carrying device 30 ''. The carrying device 30 ́ is e.g. designed so that the control period of a certain length (e.g. 24 hours) starts again when the control element 11 'has been actuated. The carrying device 30 '' can have a blocking time within which the actuation of the control element 11 'has no effect, in particular does not generate a well-being signal. For example, the blocking time is 10 hours or another time interval that is less than 24 hours.

In one embodiment, a cloud solution is provided. This is e.g. A monitoring center is provided on the Internet, on which a monitoring program is running in order to monitor whether a welcome signal is received from the carrying device 30 '' within a period (e.g. 24 hours). If not, the alarm signal is triggered. If several persons are monitored by the monitoring center, the well-up signal includes identification data which make it possible to uniquely identify a user. The monitoring center is set up in such a way that the corresponding times T1 and T3 are defined for the respective user.

Fig. 5b shows an example of the control unit for the mobile support device 30 '' according to Fig. 5a, which is equipped for a connection to the Internet. The control panel comprises the following elements: Control element 11 ́ for generating the comfort signal, here in the form of a button. Control element 31 for generating the alarm signal. The control element 31 is designed here as a two-part button. In order to trigger the alarm, the user has to push the two parts from the outside in, as indicated by arrows. This configuration prevents accidental actuation of the control element 31. Control element 14 ́, which serves to switch the carrying device 30 ́ ́ on and off and which is designed here in the form of a button. Display 15 ́, which e.g. is in the form of an LED warning light and flashes when the carrying device 30 '' is switched off. Display 35, which e.g. is in the form of an LED warning light and flashes when there is no connection to the Internet. During a power interruption, the carrying device 30 ́ ́ is deactivated and the display 15 ́ is activated.

The device 10 ́ ́ according to Fig. 1b is e.g. can be set up as a cloud solution. A server is provided on the Internet for this purpose, on which the monitoring program runs. This includes e.g. The following data, which can be queried from the device 10 ́ ́ via the internet connection: Device identification data 10 ́ ́, Status of the device 10 ́ ́, whether it is switched on or off Start of control period T1 Duration of the control period T3 – T1 Status of the control element 11 Status of the warning device 13 Status of an alarm Instructions on what happens in the event of an alarm

The start and / or duration of the control period can be set on the server, so that the device 10 '' does not necessarily require a setting switch 12.

A possible sequence of the device 10 ́ ́ is e.g. as follows:

The device 10 '' has an Internet connection and is online. It asks the server («Cloud») whether it should load a new monitoring time. This is e.g. this is the case if the monitoring time has been changed via the cloud (deactivation due to vacation, extension of the monitoring time because the person to be monitored sleeps a long time, etc.). If this is not the case, the device 10 ́ ́ goes into standard operation and monitors the set times. If the confirmation is not made, i.e. If no well-being signal is generated, a signal is output which activates the warning device 13, and if this is also not acknowledged, a message is sent to the cloud that the control period has expired and it has not been acknowledged. The cloud then alerts the monitors. If the first monitor does not respond within a certain time, the alarm is passed on to the next person (chain telephone).

If the monitored person presses the control element 11 (“green” button) within the monitoring period, this is sent to the cloud and thus no alarm is triggered. If the monitored person presses control element 31 («red button), a message is immediately sent to the cloud and an alarm is triggered.

Like the device 10 '', the carrying device 30 '' can also be set up as a cloud solution with the control unit according to FIG. 5b.

6-9 show possible variants for the transmission of the alarm signal.

The device 60 designates the means, which u.a. are set up to generate the home or alarm signal. They include e.g. the device 10 with the carrying device 30 or without it, the device 10 ́ with or without the carrying device 30 or 30 ́, the device 10 ́ ́ with or without the carrying device 30 or 30 ́, the device 10 ́ ́ ́ and / or the carrying device 30 '' with or without the basic device 50.

Fig. 6 shows a situation in which an existing telephone 61 is provided which is equipped with a carrying device 30, e.g. a telephone switch TF 52. The device 60 is set up in such a way that, in the event of an alarm, it controls the carrying device 30, which forwards the signal to the telephone 61 by radio.

Fig. 7 shows a situation in which a radio module 60a is provided, by means of which the alarm signal is transmitted to an intermediate station 62, which is connected to the Internet 70 (cloud). The alarm signal is e.g. to at least one receiver 71, e.g. Forwarded phone recipient.

8 shows a situation in which a transmission module 60b is provided, by means of which the alarm signal can be transmitted wirelessly to the Internet 70. A suitable transmission module 60b is based e.g. on the GPRS technology.

Fig. 9 shows a situation in which a transmission module 60c is provided, by means of which the alarm signal is wirelessly sent to at least one receiver 71, e.g. Forwarded phone recipient. A suitable transmission module 60c is based e.g. on the GSM technology.

10 shows a further embodiment of the monitoring device. This has a smartphone 80 on which a monitoring program runs in the form of an app. The app is set up so that the control elements 11 ́ ́ and 31 ́ ́ for triggering the well-being or alarm signal are shown on the display. The means of the smartphone 80, which can generate acoustic signals and / or vibrate, serve as the warning device 13. The app is set up so that the user has to operate the control element 11 ́ ́ within a time window in order to generate the well-being signal. At the beginning of the pre-warning time, the warning device 13 is activated if the control element 11 '' has not yet been actuated. If there is no actuation by the end of the pre-warning time, the alarm signal is generated, which is transmitted to at least one telephone receiver via telephone or internet connection. The user can directly trigger the alarm signal by operating the control element 31 ́ ́.

Instead of a smartphone 80, other devices that can be connected to the Internet can also be used to run the app, e.g. Tablets.
