Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a detection device.
Background
Conventionally, there has been known a detection device which is attached to incontinence garments such as diapers and which detects excrement. For example, patent document 1 describes a detection device for detecting the falling or excretion of a diaper based on a temperature change detected by a temperature sensor attached to the diaper.
Patent document 1: japanese patent laid-open publication No. 2010-194277.
Such a detection device may not normally detect excrement unless it is normally attached to a diaper or the like. In the technique described in patent document 1, when the detection device having the temperature sensor is detached from the diaper, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor changes. Therefore, in the technique described in patent document 1, it is not possible to distinguish whether the diaper is detached from the living body or the detection device is detached from the diaper.
In the art, it is desirable to detect when a detection device is out of compliance with an incontinence garment.
Disclosure of Invention
The detection device according to one aspect of the present invention is attached to an incontinence garment and detects excrement. The detection device is provided with: a housing having a mounting surface to be mounted on an incontinence garment; a wearing state detection unit which is provided on the mounting surface and detects whether or not the detection device is worn on the wearing state of the incontinence garment; and an output unit that outputs the state information indicating the attachment state detected by the attachment state detection unit.
In this detection device, a mounting state detection unit is provided on a mounting surface mounted on a housing for an incontinence garment. The wearing state detection unit detects whether or not the detection device is worn on the incontinence garment. By using this wearing state, it is possible to distinguish whether the detection device is attached to the incontinence garment or detached from the incontinence garment.
The attachment state detection unit may include a plurality of contact sensors provided along an edge of the attachment surface. In this case, by detecting that the detection device is not attached to (does not contact) the incontinence garment, the state in which the detection device is detached from the incontinence garment can be detected. Further, there is a possibility that the contact sensor provided near the center of the attachment surface detects that the detection device is attached to the incontinence-accommodating garment even if the detection device has been detached from the incontinence-accommodating garment. On the other hand, the contact sensor provided near the end edge of the attachment surface detects separation from the incontinence-accommodating garment even if the detection device is displaced from the incontinence-accommodating garment. Therefore, the state in which the detection device is just about to be detached from the incontinence garment can be detected with high accuracy.
The output unit may transmit the status information to an external device. In this case, it is possible to confirm whether the detection device is attached to or detached from the incontinence-supporting garment, in the external device.
The housing may be arranged such that the attachment surface is attached to an inner surface of the incontinence garment on the abdominal side. The monitoring target person such as the elderly often sleeps in a supine position (facing upward) or a lateral position. In addition, when a wheelchair or the like is used, the waist and the back of the monitoring target person may contact the backrest. In contrast, the detection device is attached to the abdomen side of the monitoring target person by attaching the attachment surface of the housing to the inner surface of the abdomen side of the incontinence garment. Therefore, the uncomfortable feeling of the monitoring target person can be reduced.
According to the aspects and embodiments of the present invention, a detection device capable of detecting a situation in which the incontinence garment has fallen off can be provided.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
Fig. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a monitoring system including a detection device according to an embodiment. A monitoring system 1 shown in fig. 1 is a system for monitoring a living body to be monitored. The monitoring system 1 includes a detection device 10 and a processing device 30 (external device).
The detection device 10 is a device for detecting excrement of a living body to be monitored. The living body is not limited to a human being, and may be other animals. Examples of the excrement detected by the detection device 10 include urine and feces. The detection device 10 is a portable device and is configured to be detachable from an incontinence-accommodating garment. The physical structure of the detection device 10 will be described later. Incontinence garments are for example pant-type garments. In the present embodiment, the incontinence-accommodating garment is a diaper. The detection device 10 includes sensors 11 to 14, a processing unit 15, and a communication device 16.
The sensor 11 (attachment state detecting section) is a sensor for detecting whether or not the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. As the sensor 11, for example, a contact sensor, an optical sensor, a push switch, and a pressure sensor are used. The sensor 11 outputs a state value (state information) indicating the attachment state to the processing unit 15 as a measured value. The state value may be either a value indicating a state in which the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2 or a value indicating a state in which the detection device 10 is not attached to the incontinence garment 2. In the case of using a contact sensor as the sensor 11, the state value may be any one of a value indicating a state in which the detection device 10 is in contact with the incontinence garment 2 and a value indicating a state in which the detection device 10 is not in contact with the incontinence garment 2.
The sensor 12 is a sensor for detecting the odor (gas) of excrement. As the sensor 12, a semiconductor type gas sensor, an electrochemical type gas sensor, a quartz-oscillator type gas sensor, or the like is used. An example of a gas to be detected when urine is detected as excrement is ammonia gas. Examples of the gas to be detected when feces are detected as excrement include hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan. The sensor 12 outputs a measurement value, which is an analog value corresponding to the concentration of the gas to be detected, to the processing unit 15.
The sensor 13 is a sensor for detecting the activity status of a living body. As the sensor 13, at least one of, for example, an acceleration sensor, an angular velocity sensor, a vibration sensor, an impact sensor, and a geomagnetic sensor may be used according to the activity condition of the detection object. The activity state of the detection target includes rising, walking, falling, and falling. The sensor 13 outputs the measured value to the processing unit 15. For example, when the sensor 13 is an acceleration, the sensor 13 outputs the measured acceleration to the processing unit 15 as a measured value.
The sensor 14 is a sensor for measuring temperature. The sensor 14 outputs the measured temperature to the processing unit 15 as a measurement value.
The processing unit 15 controls the entire detection device 10. The Processing Unit 15 is a controller having a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a ROM (Read Only Memory). The processing unit 15 controls the operation of the sensors 11 to 14, and acquires measurement values from the sensors 11 to 14 at predetermined sampling intervals. The sampling interval of the measurement values from the sensors 11, 12, and 14 is, for example, about 1 second. The sampling interval of the measurement value from the sensor 13 is, for example, about 20 milliseconds. The processing unit 15 converts the acquired measurement value into transmission data that can be transmitted by the communication device 16. The processing unit 15 may include a device id (identification) that can uniquely identify the detection device 10 in the transmission data. The processing unit 15 outputs the transmission data to the communication device 16.
The communication device 16 is a device for transmitting and receiving data to and from the processing device 30. In the present embodiment, the communication device 16 transmits and receives data wirelessly. The communication device 16 transmits data received from the processing unit 15 to the processing device 30, and outputs data received from the processing device 30 to the processing unit 15.
The processing device 30 is a device that processes the measurement value measured by the detection device 10. The processing device 30 is constituted by an information processing device such as a server computer and a personal computer. The processing device 30 includes a communication device 31, a processing unit 32, a display device 33, and a storage device 34.
The communication device 31 is a device for transmitting and receiving data to and from the detection device 10. In the present embodiment, the communication device 31 transmits and receives data wirelessly. The communication device 31 outputs data received from the detection device 10 to the processing unit 32, and transmits data received from the processing unit 32 to the detection device 10. The communication device 31 measures the radio wave intensity from the communication device 16, and outputs the measured radio wave intensity to the processing unit 32. The communication device 31 may be provided outside the processing device 30.
The processing unit 32 controls the entire processing device 30. The processing unit 32 is a controller having a processor such as a CPU, and memories such as a RAM and a ROM, for example. The processing unit 32 performs, for example, the following determination processing based on the measured value included in the data received from the detection device 10.
The processing unit 32 determines whether the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2 or detached from the incontinence garment 2, based on the state value indicating the attachment state detected by the sensor 11. Specifically, when the state value is a value indicating the state in which the detection device 10 is attached, the processing unit 32 determines that the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. When the state value is a value indicating a state in which the detection device 10 is not attached, the processing unit 32 determines that the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2.
The processor 32 determines the presence or absence of excrement based on the measurement value measured by the sensor 12. Specifically, a threshold value predetermined for each gas is set in the processing unit 32. The processing unit 32 compares the measurement value measured by the sensor 12 with a threshold value specified for the gas to be detected. Then, the processor 32 determines that there is excrement when the measured value exceeds the threshold value, and determines that there is no excrement when the measured value is equal to or less than the threshold value.
The processing unit 32 determines the activity status of the living body 3 based on the measurement value measured by the sensor 13. The processing unit 32 determines, for example, rising, walking, falling, and the like. The processing unit 32 distinguishes flatus from defecation based on the temperature measured by the sensor 14. The processing unit 32 may correct the measurement values of the sensors 12 and 13 based on the temperature measured by the sensor 14. The processing unit 32 determines the communication state with the detection device 10 based on the intensity of the radio wave received from the communication device 31.
The processing unit 32 outputs the determination results of the determination processes to the display device 33. The processing unit 32 outputs the determination result, the measurement value measured by the sensors 11 to 14, the measurement time, and the device ID of the detection device 10, which is the transmission source of the measurement value, to the storage device 34. The time at which the processing unit 15 of the detection device 10 obtains the measurement value may be transmitted to the processing device 30 as the measurement time together with the measurement value, and the time at which the processing unit 32 receives the measurement value may be the measurement time.
The display device 33 is a device that displays the determination result received from the processing unit 32. As the display device 33, for example, a liquid crystal display is used. The display device 33 may be provided outside the processing device 30.
The storage device 34 stores the determination result, the measurement value, the measurement time, and the device ID received from the processing unit 32. As the storage device 34, a hard disk device, a semiconductor memory such as a flash memory, or the like can be used. The storage device 34 may be provided outside the processing device 30.
Next, a physical configuration example of the detection device 10 will be described with reference to fig. 2 to 4. Fig. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing an example of an external appearance of the detection device shown in fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view showing an example of attachment of the detection device shown in fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV of fig. 3. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the detection device 10 further includes a housing 17 and a mounting member 18.
The housing 17 has a flat box shape. The housing 17 is formed of a material having high safety to the living body 3, for example. Examples of the material of the case 17 include polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene. The housing 17 has a surface 17a (mounting surface), a surface 17b, a surface 17c, and a surface 17 d. The surface 17a is a surface facing the inner surface of the incontinence garment 2 in a state where the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. The surface 17b is a surface opposite to the surface 17a, and is a surface facing the living body 3 in a state where the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. The surfaces 17c and 17d are surfaces connecting the surface 17a and the surface 17 b. The surface 17c and the surface 17d are located on opposite sides to each other. When the detection device 10 is attached, the surface 17c faces the upper half of the living body 3, and the surface 17d faces the lower half of the living body 3. The surface 17d is provided with a plurality of holes (not shown) for introducing gas into the housing 17.
The sensor 11 is provided on the surface 17a of the housing 17. The sensor 11 protrudes from the surface 17a, and comes into contact with the inner surface of the incontinence garment 2 in a state where the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. The sensor 11 is provided at an upper end portion of the surface 17 a. In the present embodiment, two sensors 11 are provided. The two sensors 11 are provided in the vicinity of an edge formed by the surface 17a and the surface 17c, and are arranged so as to be separated in the direction in which the edge extends. The sensors 12 to 14, the processing unit 15, the communication device 16, a circuit board not shown, wiring, and the like are accommodated in the housing 17.
The attachment member 18 is a member for attaching the housing 17 to the incontinence garment 2. The mounting member 18 is formed of a material that is highly safe to the living body 3, for example. Examples of the material of the mounting member 18 include polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene. The mounting member 18 is provided on the surface 17a of the housing 17. In the present embodiment, two mounting members 18 are provided. The two mounting members 18 are provided in the vicinity of an end edge formed by the surface 17a and the surface 17c, and are arranged apart in the direction in which the end edge extends. The mounting member 18 is provided so as to cover the sensor 11.
Each mounting member 18 includes a base 18a, an arm 18b, and a projection 18 c. The base 18a is a portion attached to the surface 17 a. The base portion 18a extends from an end edge formed by the surface 17a and the surface 17c in a direction away from the surface 17 a. The arm portion 18b extends from the tip of the base portion 18a toward the surface 17d so as to be substantially parallel to the surface 17 a. The arm 18b is located above the sensor 11, but is separated from the sensor 11 and does not contact the sensor 11. The arm portion 18b is separated from the sensor 11 by a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the incontinence garment 2. The projection 18c is provided at the tip of the arm 18b and projects toward the surface 17 a. The top of the projection 18c contacts the surface 17 a.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2 such that the housing 17 is positioned between the incontinence garment 2 and the living body 3. In this example, the detection device 10 is attached to the abdomen side of the incontinence garment 2. Specifically, the edge portion 2a of the incontinence garment 2 is inserted between the attachment member 18 and the surface 17a, and the detection device 10 is pressed toward the lower body side of the living body 3 to such an extent that the edge portion 2a of the incontinence garment 2 contacts the base portion 18 a. Thus, the edge portion 2a of the incontinence garment 2 is sandwiched and fixed by the projection 18c and the surface 17 a. In this state, the edge portion 2a of the incontinence garment 2 is positioned on the sensor 11 and is in contact with the sensor 11. In this case, the surface 17a faces (contacts) the inner surface of the incontinence garment 2 on the abdominal side, the surface 17b faces (contacts) the living body 3 (the abdomen 3a), the surface 17c is located on the upper half of the living body 3, and the surface 17d is located on the lower half of the living body 3.
Further, a space V is formed between the incontinence garment 2 and the living body 3. The space V is filled with gas released from the excreta in the case of excretion (incontinence) of the living body 3. The detection device 10 introduces the gas in the space V into the housing 17 from the surface 17d, and detects the gas by the sensor 12 provided in the housing 17.
As described above, in the detection device 10, the sensor 11 is provided on the surface 17a attached to the housing 17 for the incontinence garment 2. The sensor 11 detects whether or not the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. By using this attachment state, it is possible to recognize whether the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2 or whether the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2.
The communication device 16 transmits the state value detected by the sensor 11 to the processing device 30. Therefore, the processing device 30 can confirm whether the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2 or whether the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2. The communication device 16 transmits the measurement values measured by the sensors 12 to 14 to the processing device 30. Since the communication device 16 performs communication by wireless, the processing device 30 can be installed at a position distant from the living body 3. This enables the state of attachment of the detection device 10 and the state of the living body 3 to be monitored at a remote location.
By detecting the absence of the detection device 10 (the absence of contact with the incontinence garment 2) by any of the plurality of sensors 11, it is possible to detect the state in which the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2. In addition, when the sensor 11 is provided near the center of the surface 17a, even if the sensor 11 detects that the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2, there is a possibility that the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. In the detection device 10, since the sensor 11 is provided near the edges of the surface 17a and the surface 17c, even if the detection device 10 is displaced from the incontinence garment 2, the sensor 11 is separated from the incontinence garment 2. Therefore, the state in which the detection device 10 has just been detached from the incontinence garment 2 can be detected with high accuracy.
The monitoring target person such as the elderly often sleeps in a supine position (facing upward) or a lateral position. In addition, when using a wheelchair or the like, the waist and the back of the monitoring target person may contact the backrest. Therefore, if the detection device 10 is attached to the back 3b side of the person to be monitored, the person to be monitored may feel uncomfortable. In contrast, the surface 17a of the case 17 is attached to the inner surface of the incontinence garment 2 on the abdomen side, and the detection device 10 is attached to the abdomen 3a side of the monitoring target person. This reduces discomfort of the monitoring target person.
In addition, in a state where the detection device 10 is normally attached to the incontinence garment 2, the sensor 11 is positioned inside the edge portion 2a of the incontinence garment 2. That is, the sensor 11 is located between the edge portion 2a and the abdomen portion 3a, and is in contact with the inner surface of the edge portion 2 a. Since the edge portion 2a has contractility, the inner surface of the edge portion 2a is pressed against the living body 3 (sensor 11). Therefore, the sensor 11 can more reliably detect whether or not the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2.
When a temperature sensor is used as the sensor 11, it may be difficult to accurately determine that the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2. For example, when the living body 3 falls in the bedding, even if the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2, the temperature change in the bedding is small compared to the outdoor temperature change, and it is difficult to accurately determine that the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2. On the other hand, when a contact sensor is used as the sensor 11, the sensor 11 detects whether or not the detection device 10 (housing 17) is in contact with the incontinence garment 2. Therefore, even when the user is sleeping in the bedding, it is possible to accurately detect that the detection device 10 is detached from the incontinence garment 2.
The detection device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
In the above embodiment, the detection device 10 is attached to the abdomen side of the incontinence garment 2, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The detection device 10 may also be attached to the back side of the incontinence garment 2. When the detection device 10 is attached to the abdomen side of the incontinence garment 2, the housing 17 may be configured not to cool the abdomen 3a of the living body 3. For example, the housing 17 may be made of a material having a low thermal conductivity. The detection device 10 may be provided with a chemical heat generating material, a heat storage material, or the like so as to warm the surface 17 b. The case 17 may be configured to be able to hold a heat insulating member such as a pocket warmer on the surface 17 b.
For example, the number of the sensors 11 is not limited to 2. The number of the sensors 11 may be 1, or 3 or more.
The attachment member 18 may be any member as long as it can attach the housing 17 to the incontinence garment 2. For example, the mounting member 18 may be an adhesive tape or a surface fastener.
The detection device 10 may also include a display device (output unit). As the display device, an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a liquid crystal display, or the like can be used. The processing unit 15 may perform a part or all of the determination process based on the measurement value performed by the processing unit 32. In this case, for example, the display device may display whether or not the detection device 10 is attached to the incontinence garment 2. In addition, the display device may display the presence or absence of excrement.
The detection device 10 may further include a memory for temporarily storing the measurement values of the sensors 11 to 14. As the memory, a semiconductor memory such as a RAM and a flash memory can be used. The processing unit 15 may temporarily store the measurement values obtained from the sensors 11 to 14 in a memory together with the measurement time. In this case, the detection device 10 can collect the measurement values at a plurality of measurement times and transmit the measurement values to the processing device 30. When the communication between the detection device 10 and the processing device 30 is interrupted, the measurement value and the measurement time stored in the memory are read after the communication is resumed, and the measurement value and the measurement time acquired from the sensors 11 to 14 are transmitted to the processing device 30 during the interruption of the communication.
